endra Bodine has been using essential
oils for about 15 years, but when she
found dōTERRA she was impressed by
the quality and immediately enrolled with
a $500 kit. Kendra and her husband, Jon,
remained only users. Their interest in the
business opportunity was piqued one day
when they were driving up to Yellowstone
and stopped at the dōTERRA corporate
office in Utah. They ended up meeting
with Dave Stirling and Greg Cook for two
and half hours.
At this meeting, Jon repeatedly asked
the executives why dōTERRA had to be
a multilevel marketing company. He had
been approached aggressively so many
times about joining other multilevel
companies that he had been completely
turned off by them. Dave told him, “We
had to do it this way because we needed
to get these products into people’s
homes. If I have it on a shelf in a store,
they’re not going to know what to do with
it.” By the end of the meeting, both Jon
and Kendra were confident in the integrity
of the dōTERRA executives, and the
meeting planted the seed that led them
to eventually growing their business.
Today, they are happy to be able to
work together doing something they
enjoy. Kendra has found her niche in the
business as the oils expert. She is able
to naturally connect with people on a
one-on-one basis. Joh is the expert on
the business and compensation plan.
They’ve noticed that the dynamic of
working together takes some adjusting,
