NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND

A PASSION FOR GIVING BACK
Melody Brandon’ s interest in dōTERRA didn’ t start with a desire for a new business opportunity. As the co-owner of a successful bakery, Melody already had plenty on her plate. Instead, her interest in dōTERRA started with a desire for natural health solutions during her first pregnancy. She saw mentions of essential oils in various sources during her research, but it wasn’ t until a firsthand experience that she became more earnest.“ My sisterin-law used dōTERRA essential oils with her children during a family vacation, and I was sold. This first experience was important because they’ re my family and I trust them.”
From there, Melody came into contact with essential oils again from a woman at her church. She decided to host a class immediately after receiving her first kit, and it was at this class that she learned about the business opportunity. Thanks to her bakery’ s success and her substantial following on social media, Melody hosted several classes and parties, quickly propelling her to
Premier. At this time, however, Melody didn’ t think of dōTERRA as a long-term business option; her bakery was doing very well and she invested her time there, as well as with her husband and two young children.
About one year ago, that all changed. Melody’ s upline invited her to attend dōTERRA Leadership Retreat, and although she was only able to participate for one day, she was blown away.“ I saw that dōTERRA could be a real business, so I decided to go for it.” With this change in her outlook, Melody advanced from Silver to Diamond in one year.
Building her dōTERRA business meant a lot of hard work.“ When I was pushing for Diamond, I knew that achieving my goal might mean losing some balance in my life for a while. I know how to work hard, and I was inspired by my upline. I knew it was possible but that it would take effort. Now I can pass the baton and help my team build and become leaders.”
In addition to helping others build their businesses, Melody’ s Why includes empowering moms like her.“ I know there are other moms who feel like I did— powerless in our options to help our children. When I found essential oils, I felt empowered and in control with my daughter’ s health. I share out of love to help moms feel empowered with natural solutions.” Melody also loves the flexibility dōTERRA allows in her business and family life.“ I like the idea of a business that I can work on at night or while my kids nap. I can grow it over time based on my desires. I love helping other women find this too.”
For Melody, it’ s all about giving back now. She wants to empower mothers, she is dedicated to helping her team build, she looks forward to teaching her children about the power of hard work, and she is excited to give back to others.“ It’ s a blessing to be able to help people. Pouring my heart and soul into something and then being able to give back is what drives me.”
A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
Keep It Customer Focused
“ Help each person connect the dots between their health goals and how the oils can help. They need to see the real impact in their own life. Everyone is different; some people like watching videos, and others like oneon-one meetings. I find the support that each person needs.”
Keep It Convenient
“ I have a lot of informational videos on Facebook that teach people about essential oils and about their accounts. This prevents me from losing my voice from doing so many video chats, and it also makes it convenient for people who want to learn more when it fits their schedule.”
Keep It Simple
“ When sharing the products, don’ t overwhelm people, especially if they don’ t know anything about essential oils. At the beginning, I focus on the top 10 essential oils and help them understand how to use them so they know that the kit won’ t just sit in a cupboard.”
