NEW dōTERRA DIAMONDS “I’ve never seen anything close to the quality of the product, the founders, and the compensation; just for that alone, people should be doing dōTERRA.” –Matt Matt & Alicia Triplett FARMINGTON, UTAH, USA Global Connections T heir reasons for starting a dōTERRA business differ, but Matt and Alicia Triplett have worked together to create a team that now dots the globe. Over the course of three years, Matt and Alicia have built their business. First introduced to dōTERRA by Alicia’s brother, Daniel Benitez, Alicia wasn’t really interested until she used Breathe on her baby daughter. From there she wanted to tell other moms about essential oils so they could help their kids. Matt, on the other hand, was a little anti-dōTERRA at first. Finally, after trying the oils himself he admitted that they worked. When they were thinking of joining the business Matt says, “I looked at the Google trends to see if it had a lot of searches and I’ve never seen another network marketing company that had the good patterns of growth that dōTERRA has.” With dōTERRA teams all over the world, and with family on their frontlines, the Tripletts are well on their way to achieving their goals. The secret to their widespread success is the website Matt began, using his background in online marketing. Through do-essential-oils. com, Matt and Alicia are able to share useful trainings and tools to help their team grow wherever they’re located. It includes a feature that helps potential Wellness Advocates connect with their team locally. Matt explains, “If we have people interested in Virginia, we connect them with our leaders in Virginia, and that’s been really helpful.” use.

She even translates some of the materials that she needs for Spanish one from Matt’s dream board and they she had been working a job in human resources, but quit to stay home with the kids. It was a hard decision for the Tripletts to make; they weren’t making much from their dōTERRA business at the time. But, she still says, “It was the best decision ever.” When they decided to go Diamond, Matt created a dream board to fuel his focus. Alicia says, “It was cute. There was a picture of us, a big house, a car, and the income he wanted to earn. It took a lot of work to get there, but we did it.” Today, they have a house similar to the have started to see other dreams come to life. Matt says, “This is what we’re going to be doing, probably the rest of our lives. We’ve found something that we’re fully invested in.” Deciding to start a website? Getting a website started can be rewarding, but it is a lot of hard work. Here are a few questions to consider before you begin: 1 Why? “What is my purpose for building a website?” 2 Who? “Do you just want to share locally or are you trying to get online contacts from other places?” 3 How? “How are you going to get the attention of people online? For example, are you going to share on Facebook?” Final Tip: “I always tell people the only way you’re going to get your stuff shared is to have good content. No one is going to share it if you’re just selling. Follow the 80/20 rule: 80 percent informative content , 20 percent business.” 38 dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015 www.doterra.com 39
