NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

Jen Broas

MISSION VIEJO, CALIFORNIA, USA

FOR THE Family

Eight months pregnant with her second child, Jen Broas was researching the best essential oils for birthing. With her first pregnancy, she used some essential oils during labor and was hoping to find more information on essential oils to support her in her upcoming birth. During this process, she was invited to an essential oils class and accepted the invitation. She says,“ I walked into the class with all of my research papers, and I knew exactly what oils I needed for what, but as I sat there and listened, I realized,‘ Wow, you can use these oils for a lot more than I thought you could.’” A couple days later, Jen enrolled.

Jen had been working in the corporate world of finance for 10 years prior to dōTERRA, but had a growing desire to leave her job and be home with her children. Her resolve to get out of her job helped her pursue the business more seriously. She says,“ After I had my son, I started learning about the business and enrolling people. It became a passion of mine because I wanted to help people, and I loved the oils so much. When it turned into a business for me, I started seeing the income, and I just decided to go all-in.”
Though Jen had the determination and desire to hit Diamond and leave her job, she worked both her dōTERRA business and corporate job for several years. This path was challenging, but the hope of greater family freedom inspired her to press through the struggles that accom- panied each rank. But through the difficulties and payouts, she was supported by her greatest fan club— her family.
When Jen decided to go to Diamond Club for her first time, her husband made several sacrifices so that Jen could pursue her dōTERRA vision. Jen’ s first experience with Diamond Club helped her go from Gold to Platinum. She says,“ Diamond Club was definitely the driving point behind my rank advancement and was huge to me.” After such a positive experience with Diamond Club, she decided to go again, and once more, her husband was there to faithfully support her. She says,“ I know that was taxing on him and my family, but through it all, he has never stopped supporting me.”
Jen has now reached her goal of staying at home with her children and loves every minute of her family freedom. As a family, they can do more together, and Jen loves to include her family in her business wherever she can. She says,“ My children are dōTERRA children. They take oils to school, and they use them all of the time. We live a dōTERRA life, and I love the fact that it’ s great for our whole family. My 6-year-old daughter and I are even getting ready to do classes together to tell other mommies how she uses her oils.”
Now that Jen is home with her family, she is working toward new goals of travel freedom, financial freedom, and making sure their children maintain their quality education through high school. Her dōTERRA experience has given her a new perspective on what she can accomplish, and she continues to press forward and show others that are feeling stuck that there is always a way into something greater. Jen says,“ Though getting to the position of Diamond was work, the freedom that it has given me and my family has been more than I could have asked for.”

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FOLLOW-UPS

DON’ T STOP.
“ Never stop following up with people unless they say no. Follow-ups are really just staying in touch with the needs of the people you’ ve sampled, staying in touch with the needs of the people around you, and then nurturing those relationships.”
BE NATURAL.
“ Sometimes you don’ t want to follow up with them and talk about dōTERRA. Sometimes you want to follow up with them and ask about how their month is going. That, to me, is keeping in contact with everybody.”
MAKE A SPREADSHEET.
“ I maintain all of my follow-ups on a spreadsheet so that I know who I talk to, when I talk to them, how often I talk to them, and who is still in my pipeline. I add and take away from it all of the time. That way I can track how I’ m keeping up with people.”
