WHEN FOLLOWING UP : “ Fortune is in the follow-up , right ? If you don ’ t follow up , you are throwing away that person ’ s chance to change not only their own life but the many lives that they can potentially touch . Always touch base with the person by giving them a tip , or just say hello within a couple of days of the first contact . Then , always leave them with a question to answer so you can continue the communication .”
WHEN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS : “ It ’ s not about you , not about your abilities , and definitely not about the ‘ sale .’ It is , however , all about the other person . It ’ s about helping others . Let them talk . Let them tell you what they need and want . We have the answers !”
WHEN THINGS GET OVERWHELMING : “ Never give up ! There will be times when it looks like you are going to crash , and you will want to give up . Don ’ t ! Usually , the very next day your perspective can change , and you ’ ll have a completely different outlook . Before you quit , just take a breath .” extra money . At the time , she had no intention of jumping into the business or starting a new career . She remembers , “ At our ages , starting a new career was the farthest thing from our minds , but it didn ’ t take long to realize what a gold mine we had stumbled into .”
Because she was a product user first , Gail didn ’ t view the dōTERRA business from a sales standpoint but , rather , as an education venue . She was thrilled to be teaching people about the potential benefits of essential oils and how they could be used to transform wellness within the home . With Gail ’ s passion for people fueling her efforts , becoming a builder was not about making sales but about serving and helping others . It is upon this foundation that she built a strong , thriving business .
Today , Gail and Johnny are working side by side . Gail calls Johnny the “ front man ” of their business because he can connect with and relate to others easily , while she refers to herself as a “ whirlwind ” because she is constantly moving , sweeping people up in her realm of influence . Gail loves to brainstorm new ideas for the business and is constantly sharing the power and purity of the oils with everyone she meets . Together , the Williamses have worked to build a business they are proud of . Gail says , “ We recommend the dōTERRA business opportunity to others , because it is literally life changing . We often say that dōTERRA is a personal development company wrapped up in an essential oil company . The truth of that statement is evident by the beauty we now enjoy in our lives .” doterra . com 39
