Walk Alongside
“ 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 .” |
