The doTERRA FAQ to becoming a doTERRA consultant - Continues
What will happen if I cannot achieve my goals?
Nothing will happen.
I am not your boss and I am not going to bother you all the time. This is your business and my role is to help and support you. If you choose not to work on your business, that is your business. I have many people in my team that need more close support.
If you prefer to go it alone you can read my newsletter, join my Facebook group and use the doTERRA training platform.
However, for those who really want to take action, I mentor a few key people to kick start their businesses.
Is it possible to make money from day one as a doTERRA consultant?
The simple answer is YES!
The two areas you can make money fast as a wellness advocate is from the Retail customer bonus and the Fast start bonus.
Retail Customer Bonus: The retail bonus means you purchase products at wholesale and the customer buys from you are retail. You will earn 25 percent from all retail orders.
Fast Start Bonus: The Fast start bonus is money you earn from someone in your team. You earn 5 to 20% of the PV or any orders placed by new wellness advocates or wholesale customers that you personally enroll within their first 60 days.

Is doTERRA a pyramid scheme?
No! Pyramid schemes are illegal.
A pyramid scheme pays money for enrolling others into the scheme rather than selling customers products. If there is no product to sell, it is a pyramid scheme.
doTERRA is a multi-level marketing company. It has a full range of products and does not pay distributors for enroll others. Earnings come directly from selling products to the customer. The MLM method is simply a marketing model that works very well for this type of product. This allows people like you and me to make money from home.
The reason why MLM companies get a bad reputation is because the expectation of new reps outweighs the reality. People new to the industry easily believe the hype. Those who have a clearer understanding of MLM are normally more successful. doTERRA is not a get rich quick scheme and you will not be a millionaire by next week. However, if you work hard you can make a nice living without a large investment, apart from your time and energy.
I don't want to be a sales person!
If you use the oils naturally by offering a solution to an existing problem you are offering a service and not selling a product that nobody wants.
The doTERRA consultants role is to educate and support people through the use of essential oils. Once your customer understands you are there to help them they will search for you.
I am already a doTERRA consultant, can you mentor me?
No, I am afraid not. You will need to speak to your enroller and ask them for help and support.
It is important to say at this point
Unless you are a self starter in network marketing, who you enroll with will be the difference between success and failure.
Not all wellness advocates are equal. So, consider carefully before joining a friend or a local. Technology has changed everything and so if you live in the US, Europe or Australia you can enroll be mentored.
As a wellness advocate (rep) can I run my business online?
Yes!
An eBook I consistently recommend is the high acclaimed "Beginners guide to online prospecting in network marketing" by Steven Jackson.
This an innovative task based eBook that will take you through all the stages towards online success in MLM or in this case doTERRA. I have personally been using this method for over 10 years with great success.
