Action items for today:

🗒️ Create your NAMES LIST  (Having a current + growing names list is what feeds your business)

• Use the doTERRA memory jogger to help you remember all the people you know. Other areas to look are the text history on your phone and your Facebook friend list

• Keep it in ONE place.  I recommend using a google sheet (download the app so you can update from your phone)

• Write as many names as you can think of. Remember you’ll be adding to this list as long as you’re building dōTERRA.

🗒️ Rank each name (use the 7-star rating system and write their number next to their name on your list)

• Female
• Has a money/time/purpose need
• Age 30-55
• Interested in natural things
• Has business/sales experience
• Socially influential
• Has a supportive spouse

🗒️ Create a plan for each name (decide which form of contact would be the most effective for each person on your list)

• Talking to them in person

• Phone call

• Text

• Email

• Social media 💡 TIP: using voice to send a DM through Facebook or Instagram is a smart way to go!

• Decide if a product approach or a business approach is more appropriate.

🗒️ Effectively contact your list
(Here are some sample scripts - use them of modify them in your own wording)

Product approach if you already know their ailment:

"I’ve been thinking about you! I have fallen in love with essential oils and I’ve had some pretty amazing experiences with essential oils [talk about a simple but powerful personal experience with the oils or you could share someone else’s experience].

I thought about you [if you know their health challenge or their family’s health challenges].

I would love to give you a free sample of essential oils for you to try. They are safer, cheaper and often more effective than medication. I think you will have a great experience like I have. Are you going to be around tomorrow for me to [drop it off/give it] to you?"

Product approach if you DON’T know their ailment:
“I’ve been thinking about you. I have fallen in love with essential oils and I’ve had some pretty amazing experiences [talk about a simple but powerful personal experience with the oils or you could share someone else’s experience]. I know that all families deal with different kinds of ailments. I would love to give you a free sample of essential oils for you to try. They are safer, cheaper, and many times more effective than medication. I think you will have a great experience like I have. Are you going to be around tomorrow for me to [drop it off/give it] to you?

Business approach:

"I’ve been thinking about you and wanted to let you know that I do the most amazing thing, I sell Essential Oils. They’re safer, cheaper and more effective than other things we have a tendency to use. Essential oils have no side effects or addictions. I’ve had some pretty amazing experiences with essential oils. They have totally changed my family’s health...[talk about an experience that you have had and a member of your family]. Sharing essential oils with others has also changed my life financially. So many people are interested in using natural alternatives. Im looking for someone that I can put my time, my talents and resources into that could also share the power of essential oils with others and I thought about you... Are you familiar with essential oils?"

For people that you haven’t talked to in a while:

No one likes to feel used. When someone gives you a call that you haven’t talked to for a long time, it’s exciting especially if you have a great conversation. But if at the very end of the conversation they talk about a business opportunity, that never feels good and you usually feel used. So simply start the conversation by saying:

• • “It’s been such a long time and I specifically have something that I wanted to call you about but first tell me what’s going on with your family”.

  • And then talk for as long as it feels comfortable. After a while the person you called will usually say “So tell me what you were calling about”. And if you end up running out of time and have to get off the phone usually the person that you called will say “You had something that you wanted to tell me”.

  • Then you simply answer “It was so great talking with you again. I can call you tomorrow and tell you about why I wanted to call”.

Tips for getting a hold of people that won’t respond:

Text:
“I have great news—call me.”

Email:
“I’ve been thinking about you lately and I have something really exciting to share with you. When can we get together?

Social media:
“I’ve been thinking about you lately and I have something really exciting to share with you. When can we connect?”

🗒️ PRO TIPS:

• When you get the nudge to reach out to someone, do it as soon as possible

• Always followup when you said you would. This builds trust with your customer and yourself

• 48% of people never followup with a contact and yet 80% of sales are made after at least 5 follow-ups

• Remember - your contact wants to be confidently guided by you through each experience including the sale
