Q:  Which kit should I choose?

​

For most people starting with essential oils, I recommend the Home Essentials kit ($275) to start with, it’s a great deal with 15 mL bottles, plus the diffuser so you can use your oils aromatically! It’s a much better deal than the Family Physician kit ($150) – the bottles are only 5 mL and you don’t get the diffuser. The Family Physician seems cheap and tempting, but I don’t think it’s a great deal since you can pay $125 more for the Home Essentials, and get 3x the oils, plus a diffuser. A diffuser plays a huge part in how you use oils on a daily basis to support energy, immunity and stress relief.

​

If you are looking to detox or cleanse to start off with, for example if you have energy, digestion or Candida issues, the Cleanse & Restore ($195) is a great option, but you’ll probably want to add some single oils. I would definitely add at least Lavender, Peppermint and OnGuard to this. Or you can grab those with your next order.

​

If you have the cash, the Natural Solutions ($550) is a great way to COMPLETELY revamp and de-toxify your home and medicine cabinet in one fell swoop. I can help you learn how to put all these products to good use quickly.

​

Q:  If I enroll to purchase products at wholesale prices, does that mean I have to sell dōTERRA?

​

No! You always have the option to make a commission and residual income by enrolling others, but you absolutely do not have to. You can personally enroll simply for the benefit of the 25% discount.

​

Q:  How much does it cost to enroll?

​

The cost is $35 USD or $42 CDN the first year. If you purchase one of dōTERRA’s enrollment kits when you sign up, the $35 fee is included in the price of your kit.

​

How much does the membership cost each year after the first year?

​

The cost after the first year is $25 to renew your membership each year, plus they send you a bottle of Peppermint essential oil when you renew ($27.33, retail value).

​

Q:  Why is there a fee to sign up?

​

Think of it as similar to a Costco or Sam’s Club membership. You pay a membership fee to be able to shop at their stores and purchase items that you can’t purchase other places. dōTERRA is the same, except that the products are shipped right to your door.

​

Q:  What is an enrollment kit?

​

An enrollment kit is a collection of products that dōTERRA has put together, so that you can try some of their best-selling oils without having to guess at which ones you need. Purchasing one of these kits when you enroll, already includes the $35US or $42CDN enrollment fee.

​

Q:  Do I have to purchase an enrollment kit when enrolling?

​

Nope. You can pick and choose what you want, “a la carte” style, instead of a kit, if you choose. By doing it this way, you are charged the $35/$42 enrollment fee in addition to the products that you’ve added to your cart.

​

Q:  Do I have to place an order every month?

​

No! You can place one order the month you enroll and never order again, if you don’t want to. There are definitely benefits to placing an order each month, but you are not required to do that.

​

Side note: I enrolled with a kit and loved the oils so much that I placed another order the same month so I could get some free products and have placed an order every month since! The products work that well!

​

Q:  Is this MLM/Network Marketing?

​

Yes, this is a network marketing company. And I like that.

Some product brands choose to use their marketing budgets conventionally, paying for advertising and trying to get their products in big stores. Others pay individuals to spread the word about the product, giving them a commission of sales. That’s a really simplified explanation, by the way.

​

I’m not a pushy network marketer and I ask my team members not to be, either. My motto is: Use the product. Learn more about it. Share when it’s appropriate.

​

I like network marketing because:

• Earning ability. I get to choose how well I do. If I don’t make a lot of money, it’s all me. If I do, well, that’s me, too.

• Discounts. I’ve joined a couple of network marketing companies in my day, mainly because it means I get a product I really like at wholesale prices. Oh, and I get paid when I share it with others. I wish that was the case with other products I use on a regular basis.

• Network. I like the network aspect because I like people. I like teaching and helping other people be successful. Really, this is just a ploy for me to surround myself with awesome people. :)

• Support and Coaching. I think that this is the best way to get support with building a business, without paying hundreds or thousands of dollars for help from a business coach. Even if you paid someone, they would never be as vested in your success as a DoTerra Sponsor. Eventually the course or sessions you paid them for would end, and that would be it. But your Sponsor is in the grind with you, because if you don’t win, they don’t win. For better or for worse we are selfish creatures, and if we have some skin in the game, we will put in that extra effort and determination to succeed. I don’t feel bad asking my Sponsor for help, even several times a day, because I know she is vested in my success. And I know she will motivate me and push me even if I’m having an off day, because she wants all of us on our team to succeed.

Q:  How much does shipping cost?

​

Shipping charges vary by country, currently in the United States it is $3.99. Canada $5.99 However you get your shipping fee back in free product points. I think that is totally awesome and I’ve never seen any other online store offer that.
