Keep It Simple M elissa and Casey Robertson insist that if they can do dōTERRA, so could a monkey. Melissa says she didn’t know what she was doing in the beginning and made a lot of mistakes. “I hit Silver my first month and everybody thought that was so amazing, but the truth is, it was because I didn’t know there were other kits, so I only sold $500 kits to everyone.” Casey says, “It proves that you don’t need to know anything to do this.” The Robertsons have learned a lot since then, including how to bring their own experience and expertise to the table. Melissa was already an experienced networker when she joined dōTERRA. She worked as a talent agent scouting models and actors for many years and found that recruiting people for her dōTERRA business was something that came naturally. Casey says, “People trust her as a friend and a person first. She’s never pushed anyone to do anything. Most of the people that join our team now come looking.” Melissa agrees that often people contact her wanting to know how she is able to have free time to go on her daughters’ field trips and make her own schedule. “You can’t do this all by yourself. It really is a team thing. It has nothing to do with your personality or your ability. It really is about other people.” – Melissa 34 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I FALL 2013 S ND O R R C \
