NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Chance & Jennifer Scoggins FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE, USA W hen Jennifer Scoggins was first invited to a dōTERRA ® class, she had the best intentions of going but never made it. Her close friend, a Wellness Advocate, continued to invite her to classes for the next six months, until Jennifer decided that she should host a class herself to make sure she would show up. After hosting her first dōTERRA class, Jennifer enrolled, along with a few of her good friends, but didn’t have any interest in pursuing the business. Over the next few months of repeated positive experiences, Jennifer and her friends began to fall in love with the dōTERRA products. Each time Jennifer and her friends discovered how well a product worked for them or their family, they would text each other to share their experiences and their excitement. After roughly nine months of using and sharing dōTERRA products, Jennifer began to feel a shift in her dōTERRA journey. As someone who naturally shares the products or services she likes, Jennifer had no trouble enrolling people; however, she realized that she was not putting forth MOUTHPIECE HEARTBEAT THE 24 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JULY / AUGUST 2018 Images courtesy of Evin Photography an intentional effort to build a business with dōTERRA. Once she discovered all that the dōTERRA business could offer her and her family, she decided to get serious about her building strategy. Jennifer’s husband, Chance, has worked in the music industry for 20 years in Nashville, and both he and Jennifer knew what it was like to run a business. Chance remembers, “When we dug a little deeper to see how the business is set up and how the compensation plan works, we realized this business is clean. dōTERRA has such integrity; they are doing things in the world that we believe in, and it felt like a good partnership. At that point, we moved forward really confidently.” Because of her natural inclination to share the products, Jennifer experienced a lot of success once she committed herself to growing her team. However, as she got close to working toward Diamond, she hit a roadblock. Jennifer says, “I intentionally avoided Diamond for about nine months because it felt like too big of a spotlight. I know that some people get excited about that, but I didn’t want to be in the spotlight.” After some reflection, Jennifer realized how powerful it would be for her team to watch her reach Diamond and committed herself to taking the next step. Jennifer and Chance have enjoyed working together and supporting each other as they have experienced success. While Chance still has his own job outside of dōTERRA, he loves to talk to people about the oils. He is constantly telling people about the power of essential oils and referring them to his wife for more information. Chance says, “I have no problem sharing the business and sharing the oils. I’m more of a mouthpiece, but Jennifer is the heartbeat of this business.” After reaching Diamond, Jennifer feels more motivated than ever to help uplift and encourage her team. She says, “I want to help empower women in business to become who they were made to be because I know this business is a vehicle for that. I have the chance to watch these women grow and become proud of themselves.” “As entrepreneurs, we’ve owned several of our own businesses. We know what it looks like to wear the marketing hat, and the accounting hat, and the distribution hat. I thought to myself, ‘So, dōTERRA is going to give me a website, and maintain it, and update it? And provide products, marketing, research, and development? Someone else is going to do all of that, and all I have to do is share these products and enroll people? And I’m going to get products on top of that? That is the craziest deal ever!’ So, then I started thinking, I might be an idiot if I don’t do this.” –Jennifer “As a husband, it was really sweet for me to watch my wife become more than she knew she was. When she took on dōTERRA, I got to watch her find leadership skills, business-building skills, and a piece of her heart and a piece of her passion that just wasn’t there before.” –Chance Results not typical.
