“I am so grateful for the way dōTERRA has structured their
compensation plan because it fosters teamwork. It works because
people get excited when you’re building under them. Leaders can team
up together with their downline and say, ‘OK, let’s recruit together.’”

Steps to Reaching
Diamond:
1
Mentor your leaders. “I started
mentoring my leaders as soon as
I brought them on. I trained them
weekly and also talked to them regularly,
to make sure they were contacting and
holding classes.”
2
Teach a lot of classes. “I taught
a ton. I was doing one to two
classes a week sometimes,
and sometimes it would only be for two
or three people, but I still held it. If one
person showed up, I was there.”
3
Never stop looking for
leaders. “Whenever I’d find a
good leader, I would plug them
in underneath. Instead of spreading
people out all over the place, I would
tell my leader, ‘Ok, I’m going to build
this one leg for you, and you’re going to
build the other two.’ It gets them excited
and they feel supported. Also, if for
some reason your leader decides to drop
out, then you’ve got the assurance of
another leg that you can make rank on.”
“My husband has been a tremendous
support. I wasn’t married when I got
into dōTERRA, and I introduced an
acupuncturist into the business right away.
Through the process of getting to know
each other, this acupuncturist and I ended
up getting married.”
