“ I love that dōTERRA gives people a great natural resource that is solving a problem for them. The oils are not an indulgence; they’ re essential.”
After getting healthy by changing her diet, Carrie Vitt realized other people could benefit from better nutrition as well. So, eight years ago, she started a website and also wrote a cook book about the benefits of real food. She had heard of essential oils but didn’ t really understand what they were about.
Then, she went to a health conference and her friend, Season Johnson, shared some Peppermint with her. Carrie found it so effective that she started trying other oils and got really excited. At first, she wasn’ t interested in starting a business, but after five months she thought she was doing her online followers a disservice by not educating them about dōTERRA.
She sent out an invite to her email list about an online essential oils class— and had more than 1,000 people register. Carrie says,“ A light bulb went on. I thought,‘ Maybe they’ re wanting this information.’” She and Season started teaching regular online classes together. Carrie saw that dōTERRA could become a new source of income for her blog, and she made goals for how her new business would grow.
For Carrie, it made sense to mostly build online, since she had already built her online business over eight years. She says,“ I had built some trust with my readers over those years. They know my story and they come to me for health and food advice. It made sense to head in that direction.”
Carrie was motivated to reach Diamond to help her husband, Pete, who recently retired from the military. She successfully reached Diamond eight weeks before he retired, and now he has more options with what he wants to do with his career. Also, their children are teenagers, and driving and college are right around the corner, so Carrie is excited she’ ll be able to help support her family in that way as well. Beyond that, she says,“ I want these oils in people’ s homes. I want them to understand that they can be used as a tool alongside diet and lifestyle.”
Whereas before Carrie felt a little separated from her readers, she now has been able to connect with them on a much more personal level through dōTERRA. She says,“ Now I’ m friends with them and helping them build businesses. Now, I encourage them and walk alongside them. That’ s been a real game-changer for me, and I really appreciate that dōTERRA has given me that opportunity.”
TIPS FOR SUCCESS, ONLINE OR IN-PERSON
Make connections. |
Find leaders. |
Solve problems. |
Keep it simple. |
“ My team is all over the world. I’ ve never met most of my leaders in person because I’ ve built all of this online. I’ ve started doing zoom calls to make more connections than you can through emails or the phone.” |
“ I was bringing in so many people, then I realized I needed leaders. I looked at who was on LRP and was coming to the weekly calls with my upline and contacted them to see if they were interested in the business opportunity. It worked really well.” |
“ I don’ t sell essential oils online, I educate and solve people’ s problems. You have to show people what’ s in it for them. If you’ re not giving them a tool that will be beneficial in their lives, they’ re not going to pay attention.” |
“ All you have to do for a successful class is share your personal story, explain a little about the oils, share some of the favorites, and explain how dōTERRA is like a Costco membership. You don’ t need bells and whistles, just make it real and personal.” |
