NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS
Greg & Dr. Julie Montgomery
FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE, USA
RISING FROM THE ASHES
For husband-and-wife team Greg and
Julie Montgomery, building a business is all about consistency and commitment. Julie says,“ You have to be consistent and committed, even in the mundane things. It’ s not all exciting, but you have to do those everyday things.” And it’ s in living the everyday things that Greg and Julie have built their dōTERRA business and become Diamonds.
Julie first met Greg by accident. Both were working for another network marketing company and Greg had set up a website. When Julie went to look for something on the company website, she inadvertently landed on Greg’ s website.“ Turns out,” Julie recalled,“ we had a lot in common. I did a lot of stuff with nutrition and Greg was into natural products as well. We also both had a love for horses.” Julie went to see Greg’ s horses and the rest, as they say, is history. Julie says,“ We met through the oils!”
Now, working their dōTERRA business has become a family affair. Greg and Julie’ s children, Rebekah and Brent and his wife, Stephanie, are both Silver business builders, and the rest of the family are dōTERRA users as well. Even Julie’ s 84-year-old mother uses dōTERRA. Julie says,“ She loves to diffuse the oils.”
But things haven’ t always been easy going for the Montgomerys. About six months after joining dōTERRA, the couple experienced a devastating robbery that took all of their savings. Julie says,“ We were worried about what we were going to do for retirement. I thought I would be more devastated by the robbery, but I realized that with dōTERRA, I didn’ t have to worry. I knew we were with a company I trusted and that we would be okay.” Julie continues,“ Our team logo is the Phoenix and I think that we’ ve attracted a lot of people who are rising from whatever ashes they have. People are rising from emotional and financial ashes. I think dōTERRA is perfect for any kind of rising from the ashes. It gives people something good to believe in.”
Now, the Montgomerys are Diamonds and are building a solid business for the future. The number-one thing Julie emphasizes for building a business is consistency. From the minute the couple enrolled, they began teaching classes. Julie says,“ We taught classes about health all of the time, but we never taught a class about oils until dōTERRA.” That first class had 65 people in it with 20 – 25 people enrolling. Julie recalls,“ We saw that the class model was great so we taught a class every Tuesday night for the first six months.” And that’ s what they have been doing ever since.“ Since the very beginning, there has been a class every single Tuesday night at my office,” Julie says.“ Everybody knows when the classes are so we can invite people. It’ s been great to know that no matter what, you know that you can send people to a class, and the whole team helps teach now, so we don’ t have to do it all ourselves like in the beginning.”
“ What other job is there out there to help people change lives?” Julie asks.“ When you sell someone a kit, you’ re selling them a box of hope. I really believe that’ s what it is. You bring hope of not just physical and financial healing, but I believe that you help people understand the bigger picture.”
