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 .”
