How does doTERRA stack up?

Among all of the hype, new companies popping up all over the place, & good ol’ information overwhelm, it’s way too easy to get swept up and get completely lost in it all. Though lots of people will peddle any particular home business as having its coming into existence similar to a key world historic event, many others will jump out of the woodwork to brand almost every company as being a rip-off, regardless of evidence, or the lack thereof, in order to prove their claims. Somewhere Among all the publicity stunts and the supposed whistle blowing, the truth lies.

This article was written on doTERRA for a couple reasons:

1. So I can provide you a 3rd party, unbiased view coming from somebody who’s actually NOT a sales rep of doTERRA, and has been around the block a few times with the MLM industry, in order to help you sort through the BS.

2. To grant you useful training to show you how to dominate as a representative with doTERRA, should you want to join this company.

And, without further ado, let’s dive right into it.

What Does doTERRA Offer?

doTERRA is a startup business; as of January 12, 2011 they are in prelaunch phase. Their focal product is a line up of different types of therapeutic grade essential oils used for a plethora of therapeutic benefits on top of widely accepted medicinal benefits, sans all of the horrible side effects of “traditional” medicine. They also market hair care, skin care and diet supplement products that have also been combined with the appropriate essential oils.

Is doTERRA a con?

After a little research in addition to looking at the Better Business Bureau it was crystal obvious that doTERRA isn’t a rip-off. The BBB rated doTERRA A-, citing how little actual doTERRA has actually been doing business, but also how it hardly had any complaints (only 1) and how swiftly the complaint was resolved.

doTERRA’s Compensation Plan:

With what I could uncover on doTERRA’s compensation plan, There are two major ways to earn money with doTERRA, with one method that comes with extra goodies depending on how well new reps perform out the gate:

1. Retail: doTERRA gives out 25% retail commission for every customer sale as well as 9% commission of preferred customer purchases

2. Building a team: doTERRA utiliizes a multi leg system, which can require 3-6 qualifying legs, as in each leg has to arrive at a certain level, for you to hit the upper levels. doTERRA also provides more incentives to hit the ground running with Quick Start Bonuses, which are paid on a weekly basis. Basically, you get an extra 20% of your downline’s purchases & sales in their first thirty days. Organizational Leadership Bonuses are also awarded for those who are in it for the long haul. This particular bonus is given out each month as well as each quarter. When you hit the higher, executive ranks, beginning at Silver all the way to Presidential Diamond, you can also receive a cut from the Leadership Pools, which can add up quickly.

Requirements for Staying Active with doTERRA:

100 PV is necessary to stay active. Plus, if you stay on autoship for an extended period of time, starting after the month, you are given product credits, or basically a percentage off, for buying products on autoship, up to 30% PV value of your purchases.

Final Thoughts on doTERRA:

From what I discovered while researching doTERRA I found that this truly is a legitimate company with a product line that has authentic value; a product that people would actually buy even if it didn’t have a business model attached to it.

On the other hand, no company is seamless. There is one clear and potentially lethal flaw that could very well destroy any dreams a sales rep would have to generate a job-replacing earnings and live the life they so desperately want to earn.

The biggest thing I noticed in the middle of the company introductory video was HOW this opportunity was marketed. The chief approach is “person-to-person” “marketing,” AKA harassing soon-to-be former friends & family about your new great product. This particular marketing “strategy” still to this day decimates many formerly close friendships because of the lack of training on how to correctly, effectively market yourself without acting like an infuriating pest.

What is absolutely crucial to survive (in most cases) and thrive (in all cases) in your business, whichever business opportunity you pick, is a step by step formula to easily bring leads directly to you, already seeking you out with credit card in hand, prepared to join YOUR opportunity and YOUR team! I don’t know if you can think of how much better your life would be as soon as you utilize a working system to make this possible. Once you learn to do exactly that, and team up with an experienced leader to show you through this fundamental process, there is no limit to how far you can go in your doTERRA business.
