NEW dōTERRA DIAMOND Hiroko Yamazaki SAITAMA, JAPAN DETERMINED TO SERVE “I think it’s important that my own family members are dōTERRA users who heavily rely on the products. That way, each family member can be a strong support.” H iroko Yamazaki was first introduced to dōTERRA essential oils after a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2011, affecting the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Hiroko worked as a volunteer to help the victims of the disaster, and was exposed to dōTERRA essential oils after the company donated products to the cause. As she used the oils on the victims she “was touched by their ability to help heal people both physically and emotionally. From this experience, I decided to share dōTERRA not only with these victims, but also with everyone in the world. I had confidence that dōTERRA could help each home and family.” Hiroko owned an esthetics salon and an aromatherapy school and was familiar with essential oils. She had also previously worked on the corporate side of a network marketing company. From these experiences, she was prepared to recognize the benefits of everything dōTERRA had to offer. She says, “I learned that the dōTERRA products and compensation plan are good tools to help my customers with their health, beauty, finances, and relationships. I started my dōTERRA business because I knew it could help people’s lives in so many ways.” With training and help from the staff at the Japan office, Hiroko and others who were new to the business were able to learn what they needed to be successful. She says, “They held seminars that could be applied to a sharer or a builder. They provided helpful information to suit each person’s needs. Because of this, members were motivated at each level and the whole organization was accelerated.” B U I L D I N G Share. “I share my dream, reason, purpose, and why when I talk about the dōTERRA business opportunity with other people. I ask them about their goals and the purpose of their lives. Then I show how the business will help them.” 40 Hold events. A ST R O N G “It’s important for me to hold events frequently to keep my motivation to share dōTERRA. It also supports my team by giving them an opportunity to bring their friends. We can all learn new information, and I will be able to support their needs.” dōTERRA ESSENTIAL LEADERSHIP I JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2015 Hiroko appreciates that dōTERRA is a product and service-focused company that isn’t all about money. She says, “I really think dōTERRA has its own culture where we strongly recommend giving out love, learning opportunities, and service to others.” She especially enjoys giving people AromaTouch Technique, and almost every person she has given one has enrolled. After giving people samples, she follows up by offering an AromaTouch. “It lets them know that I care about them and shows my love and compassion toward them.” For Hiroko, it was important to be determined to become a Diamond. She says, “I set the date for when I would be Diamond, and I acted upon that decision. Trusting myself was also a key point for me. When I had a strong self-trust, I was able to do the business more positively. If you trust yourself and your goal, you will be noticed by those who can support you and make it possible to achieve your goal.” She feels that the more determined you are, the faster you will achieve your goal. “We say that endurance makes you stronger, I would add that determination makes you stronger.” T E A M Communicate. “It’s important to communicate with my team frequently to be able to have a good relationship with them. This kind of communication can help them use the products more frequently and motivate them to share.” Follow up. “Through follow-ups, my team members and I are able to build a strong trust and I can provide support to meet their needs. They also will keep using the products, enroll people more frequently, and be able to solidify their organizations.” www.doterra.com 41
