“When I’m talking to someone about the business opportunity, I tell them about the company’s 65 percent retention rate. It is unheard of. That means they’re not going to have to enroll 100 people a month. They can enroll people that are actually going to stay.” Along the way, Eve learned some valuable lessons. After driving 16 hours to a class in Arizona that no one from her team showed up to, she learned the importance of preparing a host or hostess. “You need to have some good qualifying conversations as to what it looks like to host a class. You need to teach them how to invite and not just post on Facebook. You need to teach them how to sample, how to plan a class. When there’s a lot going on, it’s easy not to plan future events, but you need to be looking into the next two weeks and plan those things out.” Eve knows the most important thing that people can do is share essential oils. “It’s just opening your mouth and serving people more than anything else. Listen to what people say when you ask them how they’re doing. Everyone has something going on that you can help them with.” She makes it about helping others and getting the oils into their lives, even if they never build a business. TIPS FOR PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT Eve considers her job done not just when she gets someone to have an experience with essential oils, but when all the products have become a part of their lifestyle. “One of my favorite things is the Loyalty Rewards program and not because it builds my business, though that is a nice byproduct, but because when people are ordering monthly they start trying different products and incorporating the whole product line into their lives. When they start turning to dōTERRA for anything that goes wrong, that’s when they powerfully change their lives.” BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. “I am a stay-at-home mom, and I didn’t feel like I had the skills necessary to do network marketing. I had to figure out how to believe in myself.” GET RID OF EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE. “You only progress as far as you let yourself. If you don’t get rid of your baggage, it’s going to come up, get in your way, and block your path to success. Don’t quit. Continue working on yourself.” STUDY YOUR RESOURCES. “I focused on learning from those who have done this before. I was always reading or listening to something. They don’t teach you these things in school. I had to learn a lot.” www.doterra.com 15
