NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS Carol Lopez & Luis Estevez NAUCALPAN, MEXICO THE RIGHT TRACK C arol Lopez and her husband, Luis Estevez, were both very familiar with herbs and natural health care, so when Paola Ortega introduced them to dōTERRA, essential oils just made sense to them. They had never been interested in network marketing, but they saw how well the oils worked. That made them more open when Carol’s friend, Lorena Alvarado, called her and Paola to tell them what she had discovered about the business opportunity. When they first started doing the business, Carol and Luis thought Silver would be nice. They say, “But, every time we set a goal in our business, we reached that goal much faster and easier than we thought.” Though they never made the conscious decision to hit Diamond, as they worked and grew, it eventually happened. They know that the first step is to first know how to reach any rank and go from there. “Work side by side with the people in your team you need to upgrade ranks. Make sure that rank is part of their dream too, and work accordingly.” Carol and Luis are together on this journey 100 percent and both consider 8 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I SEPTEMBER / OCTOBER 2016 “In this business, there are no definite mistakes. Everything has a solution.” it their dream job. They are currently in the process to help define their roles as they work together in the business. They say, “It’s not by any means easy to work with your spouse, at least for us, so we looked for help: professional help, coaches, webinars, anything that could give us some guidance on how to actually do this as effective and passionate partners, without any collateral damage in our marriage and family. It’s a learning process and we are in the middle of it, but we feel we are on the right track. It surely helps a lot that we both have the same love for what we do and what we are accomplishing together.” They also make sure to keep their pri­ orities straight when it comes to their children, and to always communicate with them. When they started Diamond Club, they made sure their children understood on their own level what they were doing as a family. Carol and Luis say, “Being in dōTERRA is all about taking care of your family, so you have to make sure everyone understands that and everyone will end up playing their part.” Before, when Luis worked at a corp­ orate job, sometimes he only saw his children when they were sleeping. Now, he’s able to eat meals with them every day. They are all able to spend most of their time with the people they want to be with, who they didn’t even know three or four years ago. Carol and Luis say, “We have gotten closer as a couple now that we are business partners and are aware and taking positive action on personal development.” In other words, dōTERRA has changed their lives in every single way. “Find your why and make that the center of your actions and decisions. Every single thing you do must be getting you closer to that why.” IT’S ALL ABOUT THE OILS 1 2 3 HOLD EVENTS OFTEN. “It’s important to hold events often so that you get used to talking about, sharing, and studying the oils. The more product buzz is present in your network, the bigger your business will get.” LET THE PRODUCT WORK. “The most important thing after giving out your little bottles is to let the product work on its own. Just make sure they are using the oils as indicated.” GIVE THEM SPACE. “There is no need to pressure or harass anyone. dōTERRA should be easy for everyone to use. Give it time. If they are using it, they will come back.” 4 REMEMBER TO FOLLOW UP. “Following up is the only way you can be sure that the main asset of your business, the oils, are doing their job. It’s the only way you can be sure they are using the oils correctly and making the most of their wellness investment.” 5 OILS BEFORE BUSINESS. “We never introduce the business opportunity if we are not a sked. We are sure no one will fully comprehend the magnitude of it and take true action if they don’t use the oils.” *Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
