NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS

A Fairy Tale
hen Keeli Martinez asked on
social media if anyone knew of
something alternative she could give
to her two-month-old baby, one of her
childhood friends responded asking if
Keeli had ever heard of essential oils.
Keeli knew nothing about them, but
was open and willing to learn because
she wanted something better for her
daughter. She attended a dōTERRA
class with one of her best friends. She
says, “We both left there bright-eyed
and interested in trying out this new
essential oil world.”
all moms didn’t know about these. I felt
about you can bring about in your life.
a huge pull to educate other moms.”
So, pull out the negativity and pull in
At the time, Keeli worked 40 hours a week
as an office manager, her husband, Josh,
was studying for his CPA, and she had a
young baby. So, when her friend asked
her if she wanted to do the business,
she firmly told her no. But, after she saw
how easily and effectively the oils worked
on her daughter, her mind changed.
She says, “I called my girlfriend the next
day crying, saying that I didn’t know how
because of that has been able to quit
At first, Keeli just wanted to get her oils
paid for. She says, “Then I saw how the
oils sold themselves. I started getting
messages from people thanking me for
introducing them to the oils because
they’ve changed their lives and the lives
of their family. The gratitude I get for
simply sharing what dōTERRA offers is
my biggest why.”
She was able to hit Diamond within a
year of actively doing the business, and
her job to do dōTERRA full time. She
credits a lot of her success to educating
people on social media; holding fun
the positivity.” Keeli also knows that
it’s important to have a good mentor.
“When you’re down, you’re frustrated,
or something is not going your way, you
have to have someone who is going to
pick you up and tell you ‘You’ve got this.’”
She knows she would not be where she
is without the help she’s gotten from her
upline and her husband, Josh.
Though Josh spent the last four years
working toward his CPA to be able to
provide for their family, their plans
have completely shifted because of the
opportunities dōTERRA has brought into
their lives. Keeli says, “We look forward

chapter in our lives. It’s a fairy tale.”
THE 3–6 MONTH PUSH
THE SLUMP “What I’ve seen
is people tend to give up on
the business after their three
to six month mark. The first
three months, you’re excited,
you want to share, and you’re
doing classes. Then, you feel
like your warm market gets
tapped and things slow down.”
THE PUSH “You have to push
through that three to six
month period. If you can get
through six months of doing
this as a business, you will
be successful, because you
are pushing through so many
barriers that other people let
stop them in their tracks.”
THE COMFORT ZONE “If you
think you don’t know anyone
else you can talk to about the
oils, your eyes aren’t open. I
can’t tell you how many people
I run into every single day who
have no clue about essential
oils. You just have to be willing
to step outside of your comfort
zone and talk to them.”
THE OPPORTUNITY “Present
the opportunity to everyone.
My strongest leaders are
people who I never would’ve
guessed would do this
business with me. Make sure
you let people know that this
is an option they can take
advantage of.”

WORK. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BE FACILITATORS OF THEM." –Keeli
