FINE-TUNING YOUR BUSINESS

What We Always Wanted

NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Jessica Ryan

MANHATTAN, ILLINOIS, USA

In desperate need to help her son, Jessica Ryan began researching to find something that would aid him in his time of need. This pursuit opened her eyes to different food diets that had the potential to help, and eventually served as a springboard on her path to natural wellness. Jessica noticed that these clean-eating diets were a step in the right direction, but still looked for additional support.

When a trusted friend of 15 years suggested that Jessica use dōTERRA oils for her son, she tried them with him and couldn’ t believe that they actually worked. She says,“ The first week we tried them on my son, I just stood back in awe, and my husband and I were just kind of waiting for the bottom to drop out. We were thinking there would be a placebo effect or something of that nature, and there wasn’ t. Instead, the oils were beneficial for him.”
After this realization, Jessica began to use the oils at home and on the soccer field and people started asking questions. Jessica says,“ It was a natural progression for me to get into the business because I wasn’ t really selling it, I was just using it.” She soon received some help from her upline and other leaders, and her business took off within the first couple workshops.
Starting the business has allowed her to stay at home with her children and has given her a chance to teach again. Jessica was a science teacher before she had her children and missed being able to teach what she loved. Now, she is able to teach and use her background of science to help others learn about the scientific benefits of oils in her classes and workshops.
Jessica’ s love for the oils and her business have helped numerous people, especially her family. She says,“ My family are huge oil users. There isn’ t a night that someone isn’ t putting oils in the diffuser or using them in some shape or form.” Even her husband and his crew at the TV show he works on use essential oils. She has been grateful for the support of her children and husband through this journey. During the easy and hard times alike, she has found that her husband has always been there to motivate, encourage, and uplift her.
Joining dōTERRA has truly been lifechanging for Jessica and her family. Not only has she seen a positive outcome for her son, but she has experienced many other blessings as well. She says,“ This business has provided us with much more family time to be together, and it’ s really given us financial freedom to spend more time with our kids and less time hustling. That’ s always been something that we wanted.”

FINE-TUNING YOUR BUSINESS

TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.
“ It is important to reach out to your customers, not always using texts or emails but a phone call or a handwritten note. These things let people know that you care about them and that you are there for them and not just selling them something and walking away.”
ORGANIZE YOUR TIME.
“ You’ ve got to be organized with what you are doing. You need to have some sort of system in place that works for you, and you have to set aside time for dōTERRA. Make sure the time you use is not a waste; have activities that really bring new customers to the table and will help you get out there.”
FIND YOUR NICHE.
“ My whole market was gone. I had everybody I knew using oils, and I needed to find fresh new faces. I created a niche and have been working with seniors in nursing homes and assisted living centers. I have really enjoyed this. Find something you love, and figure out how to advertise it. If you do what you love, you can’ t help but be successful.”
GET EDUCATED ON OILS.
“ Try to know more about oils than what they do for you. Having a background in teaching science, I have found that people like my credentials in the field because they want to know more. They want to know what sets us apart. Being able to explain the simple differences in chemistry between the oils you get at the store and dōTERRA is important.”
