New to Doterra

[AprilVB]

Hi, everyone. I've been browsing the forums for the last few years, but I only just joined today. I sold Avon once upon a time (well, twice upon a couple times) but I had a pushy DM and I don't like the hectic-ness of that. So I've been looking for something to do on the side in between my full time job and the thousand other things I do. I ended up at a Doterra thing a couple days ago and long story short, I got hooked. So I signed up. I like that I can start off slowly and the only start up cost was the kit I wanted to buy anyway, and that there aren't different products or catalogs all the time. I also checked out all the tools they have online, and they are pretty great. So I ordered the family physician kit and can't wait to get it in.
I have a couple customers already, and I guess I am wanting tips on getting going and starting to build a customer base without being all super crazy gung ho just yet. I don't want to be that girl that says "OMGZORS therez an oyul for that!" every time someone stubs a toe near me, even if there is. Or some general tips on the oils, and sharing them. Thanks!

Welcome to doTERRA! First of all, I'd like to say that you will not be able to help yourself once your FPK comes in. You will turn into that gung ho person. I have always been gung ho with doTERRA and my husband was a skeptic turned believer but once I got my FPK, he went NUTS! He is as fanatical as I am about them now.

Have you plugged into some of the groups on Facebook? There is a ton of info there about building.

Thanks for the response! I already knew the benefits of some things like lavender, peppermint, lemon, orange...you know, the common ones. But she put some cassia on my neck (herniated disc) and after a couple minutes, it didn't hurt at all and I could rotate my neck much further than usual. That is a big deal. That's what hooked me into buying and signing up. She sent me home with a sample bottle of it. It's amazing.
Anyway, I saw a lot of groups out there on Facebook. Can you recommend some good ones? You can send me a private message if necessary.

Yay! Welcome to doTERRA!! I absolutely LOVE hearing stories like that about the cassia! For my family it started with a blend of lavender and melaleuca for my daughter's ear infection. Then after my father in law passed away, we used Elevation on my husband. And then....okay I won't keep going. But I could! Ha! Lora is right about becoming "that person" about oils. The more you try, the more you find yourself talking about it. You just can't help it! ;-)

Facebook is a great resource. Wellness Advocates Sharing Page is a good group on there. Almost 70,000 consultants sharing information about doterra. Also, Pinterest has some great blends and uses. Plugging into a local group of also a good idea if you have one.
