dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2016

Make connections.

Find leaders.

Solve problems.

Keep it simple.

“My team is all over the
world. I’ve never met
most of my leaders in
person because I’ve built
all of this online. I’ve
started doing zoom calls
to make more connections
than you can through
emails or the phone.”

“I was bringing in so many
people, then I realized I
needed leaders. I looked
at who was on LRP and
was coming to the weekly
calls with my upline and
contacted them to see if
they were interested in the
business opportunity. It
worked really well.”

“I don’t sell essential oils
online, I educate and
solve people’s problems.
You have to show people
what’s in it for them. If
you’re not giving them a
tool that will be beneficial
in their lives, they’re not
going to pay attention.”

“All you have to do for a
successful class is share
your personal story, explain
a little about the oils, share
some of the favorites, and
explain how dōTERRA is
like a Costco membership.
You don’t need bells and
whistles, just make it real
and personal.”
