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
