Overcoming Fears of Sharing

Here are some common blocks and fears that can stop us from sharing these incredible oils freely. Remember ultimately these can all be overcome by shifting focus from ourselves onto those we want to help.

I don’t want to be pushy – then don’t!

We really don’t need to be, the oils sell themselves. The sharing stage is not the selling stage; we don’t need to feel pushy about asking people if they would like to learn more. doTerra is still so new that there are so many people to share with who do not know about doTerra. Remember you have something amazing, if someone does not want to learn about them, just move on and find those who are ready.

 I don’t want to sell to friends 

No one wants to be that person that everyone tries to avoid! With close friends, it is best to share the oils in a very natural way. They trust you so just show them your genuine love for the oils and how you want to share them with them because you care for them. Definitely don’t try and sell to your friends, just show them how you want to teach them about how amazing they are. Then leave the choice completely to them. My advice is not to have an agenda with your friends. I still have friends who I haven’t approached about the oils yet as they have not come up in a natural way.

I think the oils are too expensive

I think this is a common barrier for most new builders. In my experience, this is a view that changes as you use the oils more and see how they help so many people. At this point in the sharing step, don’t even think of this. The mission of doTerra is to teach everyone who will listen about these oils and then leave the decision in their hands. Try not to judge people because if we don’t teach them, they will not have a choice to replace medications with so many side effects with natural essential oils. When it comes to health, price is not such an issue.

I am afraid of rejection!

I love the analogy of the flight attendant. Imagine you are a flight attendant and you are offering beverages to the customers. Some accept the beverage and some may not. If someone does not accept the beverage, would you feel hurt and rejected, of course not! It is the same with the oils, if someone rejects your offer of a free sample or an invite to a class, so not take it personally, they are not rejecting you! You have something you know is amazing, but you are not here to make someone take a sample or convince them. As long as you share in a genuine way that is not pushy and forceful, people will not be annoyed by you and if they say no then respect that and move on.
