L
ike many others, when Joanna Geigley
first found dōTERRA ® , she was not
interested in the business side of oils.
After a chance meeting with a Wellness
Advocate, Joanna fell in love with dōTERRA
products. From the first time she used
the products, she remembers being
immediately amazed at their effectiveness.
As she started to learn more about the
oils, she knew she wanted to regularly use
them herself, as well as make them a part
of her family’s life.
Joanna’s husband was the first person
to push her toward building her own
business. While she was excited about
a business model that centered on
relationships, Joanna was not excited
about the sales aspect of growing a
business. A month after signing up to
be a Wellness Advocate, Joanna enrolled
three people by genuinely sharing oils with
those around her; she was not intentionally
selling! After those first three people
expressed how much they loved the oils,
Joanna decided to host her first class.
Joanna’s first class could not have gone
better. She was amazed at the end of the
class when she enrolled seven people.
What started out as an impossible feat
now seemed entirely possible to Joanna.
She was no longer worried about telling
people about oils. She knew it wasn’t

about selling but sharing her honest
opinions about oils, and seeing how that
could positively affect so many people.
After that first class, Joanna developed
a system that worked for her. She
found that following up with people
was the most important thing for her
business. She says, “Follow up, follow
up, follow up! Everyone is busy. People
actually feel cared for when you follow
up; their need is important to them,
and when you follow up, they see
their need is also important to you.”
Joanna has found that being willing to
follow up in different ways is key. Every
person she talks to about dōTERRA
is different. Watch for the needs of
each person, she says. “Everybody is
different, but you should follow up with
a call, text, or coffee within three days.”
Teaching classes quickly became the with class members, she can ask who
