I tracked down three professionals that I knew and I said, ‘I have just gotten into this amazing business, you have to do this with me.’ That was my approach.” Tahna Lee first introduced Cynthia to dōTERRA, and for several months persistently contacted her until she agreed to give dōTERRA essential oils a try in her natural pathology practice. “I started using them on my clients and Cynthia felt it was important to find her I got really phenomenal results.” She leaders before she did anything else, found the oils to be simpler and easier Having worked with a network marketing company before, Cynthia saw a big difference in the dōTERRA compensation plan. “I love the way they pay you more the deeper you go. It’s the total opposite of the other company I worked with. They paid you more the closer you kept your people, but that doesn’t help build a team. dōTERRA has such an amazing compensation plan because it fosters teamwork.” We have to do it together to succeed.” 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.”
