Incentive Trip Recap
In January 2013, after
seven months of hard
work during the “LETS
CRUISE!” incentive, 375
of our Independent
Product Consultants
(IPCs) and the dōTERRA
Executive Team set
sail from San Juan,
Puerto Rico on a sunny Caribbean cruise.
In addition to those
who qualified, we had
many IPCs who joined
us just because they
didn’t want to miss
out on all the fun.
During an action packed week, we traveled to
St. Thomas, St. Kitts, Aruba, and Curacao. IPCs
enjoyed kayaking through a mangrove lagoon,
snorkeling from a catamaran in the aqua blue
water, and a very competitive round of volleyball
on their own private island. However, these were
only a few of the many adventures IPCs enjoyed.
In addition, lifelong friendships were formed during evenings filled with dinners, dancing, karaoke,
and games. dōTERRA even found time for high
energy training, while at sea.
It’s safe to say that the highlight of the trip, for
the entire group, was our Voluntourism Day,
in Aruba. Under the dōTERRA Healing Hands
Foundation the group participated in service
projects. These projects covered five different
schools, in great need, throughout the Dutch
island. Rather than just donate money for
future projects, our IPCs put in hours of hard
work building playgrounds, painting buildings,
planting gardens, laying cement, and leading
the children in activities. Both the children and
our IPCs, left with happy faces and memories
that will last forever.
We look forward to our next incentive trip, and
hope to see you there!

Essential leadership | Spring 2013
“The trip was truly wonderful! It was so inspiring and real to meet the
leadership of dōTERRA and the opportunity to share experiences in
the training sessions and activities was invaluable. What more can we
say, this was by far a once in a lifetime experience. We will remember
this throughout our career with dōTERRA . It took hard work to win the
grand prize, signing up so many new people certainly pushed us out
of our comfort zone. However, we learned a lot about oils and people
in the process and would not trade that experience for anything! We
made a commitment to do the very best we could and the Grand Prize
was our goal. We set up a plan and stuck to it, and ended up achieving
the results we had hoped and prayed for. dōTERRA has changed our
lives not only the oils, but also the philosophy of business and integrity
that it promotes. We share our lives and the dōTERRA opportunity with
everyone we meet.
–Brent & Kristi Averett, Gold, Grand Prize Winners
“dōTERRA goes all out on incentive trips! Nothing beats winning
and going for free, but it would have been worth every penny if we had
spent the money to go. Who doesn’t want a huge dose of sunshine in the
middle of winter? The relationships built on these trips are special and
lasting. We have learned so much from the other amazing people who
went. Incentive trips are definitely the events to attend if you want to get
inspired and spurred on in your business.”
