Mickey Ho was introduced to doTERRA by a friend and loved how the essential oils smelled. He became a Wellness Advocate to get a better discount on a product he enjoyed, and only used the oils for about a year. He had noticed in the past that many network marketing companies did not have good quality products, so people needed to be really good at sales to make any money. But, he realized that with doTERRA the opposite was true—they had a high retention rate and the business opportunity was steady and brought in a good income. With some convincing from his upline, he decided to get involved in the business.
He has since discovered the importance of using the products daily—anywhere, anytime. That way, he gains more testimonials about the oils that he can share and more experience in how the product is used. He has found that when he shares a personal experience, it’s always more effective than sharing someone else’s experience. His family also love the products and use them daily along with him.
For Mickey, the best way to share the product is by ensuring people know how to use them correctly. He says, “Know what they need, then tackle their problem with the correct use of essential oils.” He meets with people one-on-one to teach them how the products can meet their personal needs.
After sharing an oil with someone, he always follows up to make sure they are using the products safely. “That way, I prevent them from having a bad experience with the oils. It also allows them to start using and experiencing the products faster.”
He didn’t spend much time worrying about getting to Diamond, it just happened as he shared the product as much as possible and made sure he structured thoughtfully. He knows it’s especially important to place builders on the first level and users on the second level or lower. He says, “Nothing is easy, but doTERRA is not difficult. doTERRA need not be a hard sell. The products speak for themselves and users will stay on your team because of them. The biggest change in my life from doTERRA is that I no longer wear out my voice, because the products have spoken for me already.”
