Joan Coon Diamond
You asked, she answered. We took your most pressing questions about the business and asked one of our top dōTERRA leaders for her advice from her years of experience.
When things come up like school, holidays, summer, etc., how do you keep your team moving forward?
I keep the momentum going by constant communication with my teams. I have a dōTERRA Facebook business page and a product page that I post on daily to keep everyone informed. I have Zoom chat trainings and an ongoing weekly Natural Lifestyle class where leaders teach and bring people to all year round.
How do I avoid being pushy when sharing the oils?
I consider my dōTERRA sharing a gift. I make up small organza bags with A to Z guides, my business card, and samples inside. I keep them with me to pass out to people, and then follow up with them with a specific health issue that they are having. Everyone loves a gift and a new friend.
It’ s tough to motivate people to join your team when you have to be realistic in telling them that it will take a while to move up and start earning enough to quit a job or cut back on hours. Any advice?
I believe that each person is unique in their situation and talents; some take their time, while others take off like superstars. Personal development and business training take time, as does making money in dōTERRA. My advice to everyone is to do the work, be patient, and be grateful. I cheer people on with every success and recognize them with incentives and gifts.
