The Robertsons' Method for training Silvers She says “I feel like people gravitate toward dōTERRA.” Melissa first started doing dōTERRA for the business rather than the products, What it is:   12-week intensive, voluntary training program for those who want to A achieve Silver  Every coach has eight people in their classes  Each mentee has a mentor and an accountability coach   upport group calls are held every week so everyone in the program can S learn from each other but found that when she passed the oils around to a few moms in her daughters’ playgroup, that she couldn’t get any of them back. She says, “They loved them so much!” Melissa had replaced her income within nine months, and after a year Casey quit his full-time job to join her. Casey says, “It took us a while to figure out how to work together, but the key for us was identifying our strengths and then deciding we were going to divvy up the business based on those strengths. It was so much easier.” He has also discovered that it helps to recruit team members who are strong where they are weak. “If you’re not good at something, seek out people who are. We have people on our team that are way better than us at some things, so we jump on their system and adopt their ideas.” A couple people in their downline even outrank them, and have helped to inspire them to move forward. In the end, the Robertsons like to stick with keeping it simple. Casey says, “I think that a 19-year-old halfway across the country should be able to do this in the first couple of weeks.” They focus on simply helping people develop themselves and overcome their obstacles. “It makes them happier, better people, and helps grow their business as well.” “You really have to become a dōTERRA distributor for life. You have to convert yourself. Tell yourself, ‘I’m going to do this for the next five, ten years and then just be that person. Don’t stress the outcome this week, this month, or in your first year—just keep going. Focus on helping people and everything will fall into place.” – Casey www.doterra.com 35
