Eric & Sandra Wang
When Sandra Wang started asking around to see if anyone knew of something that could help her daughter with her health issues, her neighbor Tawnya Hsiung offered her doTERRA essential oils. Sandra had such good results that her whole family started using the oils and she started telling others about them. Eventually, Sandra started learning more about the business from Tawnya’s husband, David, and decided she wanted to get involved.
Sandra’s husband, Eric, had grown up in a family that had a lot of success in network marketing. From his experience, he knew that they would have to look closely at the compensation plan and the leaders of the company before starting a business. Eric was actually able to sit down to dinner with a few of the executives and ask them a lot of questions. He says, “I came away very impressed with them. I started to realize that this company was going to do fantastic, and knew that Sandra had to get involved.”
Eric recognized that both he and Sandra lacked sales experience, so he left his job as a software engineer to get involved in IT recruiting. He says, “I’m not a person who’s an extrovert or has a huge network, so I did a career change in correspondence with doTERRA to learn how to do sales, how to talk to strangers, and how to deal with meeting new people.” Sandra, on the other hand, has a master’s degree in public health with a specialty in health education. She says, “Health education has always been my passion, so sharing doTERRA is very natural for me.”
The Wangs know that their business is centered on giving people a powerful experience with doTERRA products.
Sandra says, “We stress with our leaders that they need to give people that ‘aha’ moment. You have to find a connection with the person you are helping. Find out what they need, what oil can help them, and once they find that, you got it.” Eric adds, “Someone has to have a meaningful experience with the oils. You have to solve a concern. I’ve only ever seen people make a committed decision to get involved with doTERRA when they have a huge belief in what the oils can do for people.”
Ultimately, they are grateful for what doTERRA has brought them. Sandra says, “It’s wonderful to have a business where your spouse is involved. It’s wonderful to have a business that you love to do. It’s wonderful to have a business where you make new friends. Financial and time freedom is hard work to achieve, but it’s worth it at the end of the day. It’s taught us to be thankful.”
