What I Was Looking For
Takeshi Igarashi had doubts about dōTERRA, essential oils, and the sales industry; however, he didn’ t let that stop him from exploring it further. After he heard of dōTERRA, he dedicated his time to researching and evaluating the company and its products and even traveled to the United States, visited dōTERRA headquarters, attended convention, and talked with dōTERRA leaders. He says,“ All of these educational experiences gave me more confidence about dōTERRA. It was the exact business model and products I was looking for.”
Previous to dōTERRA, Takeshi had been a financial planner. During his time in the profession, he helped many people set up their financial plans for retirement and death. He was happy to help these customers, but he saw a greater need to help people manage their health and finances in the middle of their lives rather than the end. Because of dōTERRA, Takeshi’ s desire has been fulfilled, and he is now an advocate for people looking to take control of their health and finances at one of the most crucial times of life.
To help him accomplish this task, Takeshi draws from his years of experience in the sales industry. In previous sales jobs, he witnessed many selling techniques, some good and some bad, but through it all, he gained a wealth of knowledge on appropriate and effective sales techniques, which he now uses. As opposed to a pushy sales approach, Takeshi has found friendly approaches that are centered on helping and educating to be most effective. These skills have helped him successfully grow his dōTERRA business, and he eagerly teaches them to his team so that they too can succeed.
Along with a positive sales approach, Takeshi finds that working with and learning from others is a major key to his success. He says,“ Teamwork is crucial to succeed in direct sales, and I think those who try to do everything by themselves will fail.” He puts this principle to action by listening to and learning from his upline, and then sharing that advice with his team. Relying on his team and supporting them in their goals has helped Takeshi and his team go farther than they could go on their own.
Starting a business in Japan, let alone a thriving one, is often very difficult. Takeshi is grateful for the opportunity to be a part of dōTERRA and to see himself and those on his team receive the rich benefits of a successful business that he knows is truly changing lives. He says,“ I am so happy that I have chosen dōTERRA.”
WORKING AS A TEAM
ENCOURAGE YOUR TEAM IN THEIR GOALS.“ It is crucial to help your downline set goals by teaching them to invest time into their dreams, which will become their goals. Discuss and share ways to achieve your team’ s goals in detail. People will become motivated not when they run away from something difficult, but when they achieve their dreams through their goals.”
LISTEN TO YOUR LEADERS.“ Instead of doing things your own way, it is important to listen to the opinions of the dōTERRA executives and your upline and then share them with your downline.”
GROW TOGETHER.“ Share successful experiences among everyone to avoid mistakes and to speed up success as a team. Try the following with your team to ensure an effective month: review goals from the previous month, create new goals for the current month, discuss monthly achieve ments, talk about things to improve on, and make sure to set up an LRP at the beginning of the month.”
CONTRIBUTE TO TEAM SUCCESS.“ Show your hard work to your downline. It is important to show examples to your downline by setting up goals and achieving them. This will give hope to your team, making them feel that they can accomplish that as well.”
