Checklist for teaching online classes
🗒 Practice Your Intro / Intention / Story:
Introduce who you are: How long you have been using essential oils & how long you’ve been doing the business.
Your intention is to help them understand the power of essential oils & how it can change their health + their family's health. Say: “I’ll have done my job today if you leave this class knowing three cool things about essential oils.”
Give a short testimonial of how doTERRA has changed your life. This should be no more than one minute long & it should not be your most powerful testimonial - we’re saving your most powerful testimonial for the end of class.
🗒 Teach the way Steve Jobs would teach an oils class (using the simplicity of 3):
SHARE 3 COOL THINGS ABOUT DOTERRA ESSENTIAL OILS
1️⃣ FIRST COOL THING: doTERRA Essential Oils are 100% Natural & Safe
“The first cool thing about doTERRA essential oils is that they’re 100% natural & safe. There’s nothing added to the oil or taken away from the oil. They’re just simply pure essential oils without the side effects of medications & no addictions. They’re safe for babies, children, adults & the elderly. Oils are extracts from plants that have amazing health benefits. A pure oil is about 50-70 times more powerful than herbs. One drop of peppermint essential oil is equivalent to drinking 28 cups of peppermint tea. So they’re really potent!”
“To help you feel how powerful doTERRA essential oils are, let me give you an experience with one of the most important essential oils: Peppermint.”
✨ Pass your Peppermint around & have everyone put a drop of Peppermint in their palm.
“Okay, everyone dab their finger in the oil & then put it in their eye. JUST KIDDING! I know of a class where someone was trigger happy & actually did that, & it didn’t feel good! If you ever get oils in a sensitive part of your body, just use a carrier oil like fractionated coconut oil & directly apply it to the affected area. It’ll take the sting away fast. You can actually use a lot of different carrier oils like olive oil - the reason we like to use fractionated coconut oil is it’s really good for your skin & it doesn’t leave an oily residue."
“Now don’t be afraid & dab the tip of your finger in the oil & then press your finger onto the roof of your mouth. Now the other way we’ll use it is by rubbing it between the palms of our hands, & then cupping our hands together & breathing in deeply. See if you can breathe that in for 30 seconds! How does that feel? (Wait for responses) That one drop of peppermint was the equivalent of you drinking 28 cups of peppermint tea. That’s how powerful these oils are!"
“What I love about these oils is the CPTG standard. It stands for Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade, & it means these oils are completely pure & potent. Pure means there are no foreign contaminants or fillers. Potent means that each plant was grown in a part of the world where that plant grows best, resulting in the absolute best chemistry for that plant. When you have the ideal natural chemistry, the essential oil extracted does exactly what we want it to do for our health."
“So that’s the first cool thing about essential oils, they’re 100% natural & safe. Who can tell me the first cool thing about essential oils?”
💝 Reward whomever answers with a sample bottle! Share what that sample oil is good for as you pass it to them. (through this, you’re teaching them to pay attention + learn about a new oil)
2️⃣ SECOND COOL THING: More Effective than many modern approaches to health problems:
“The second cool thing about essential oils is that they’re more effective than many modern approaches to health problems."
“First, do we we have any medical professionals in the room? (They raise their hands) Okay, what I’m going to share next is going to sound very elementary to you. Most people don’t have the medical training you do, so I’m going to really simplify things so this makes sense to everyone. Let’s go back to biology 101. Is that Okay? (This prevents hecklers.)"
“Let’s say this is a cell in your body (hold up your fist), & we know that cells have oily cell membranes. The cell membrane protects the cell, it keeps all the good things in & all the bad things out. Now two of the things that are harmful to our cells are bacteria & viruses. Bacteria usually form on the outside of the cell & viruses duplicate the DNA on the inside of the cell. All you have to remember is bacteria on the outside, viruses on the inside."
“Let’s say you went to the doctor with a bacterial infection. What would he recommend for you? (Give you an antibiotic) And after taking the antibiotic for 7-10 days in most cases, it would probably clear up the infection - but antibiotics often wreak havoc on your gut - since they kill both good & bad bacteria alike. They also affect our hormones & immune system."
“Now if you had a virus like the cold or flu, what would he say? (Go home, drink a lot of water, rest & let it run its course) The reason why is because most of the modern recommendations are water-based synthetic agents. Water & oil don’t mix, so if the recommendation from your doctor is water-based, it can’t get past that oily cell membrane & get at that virus on the inside of the cell.”
“Essential oils are different because they’re oil-based, which means they can permeate that cell membrane! They can work on a cellular level without the side-effects & addictions of many medications, & they can combat bacteria on the outside of the cell & prevent the duplication of viruses on the inside. That’s why they are often more effective than the modern approach to health problems.”
“That’s the second cool thing about Essential Oils. Who can tell me the second cool thing about essential oils?”
💝 Reward whomever answers with a sample bottle! Share what that sample oil is good for.
3️⃣ THIRD COOL THING: Cheaper Than Traditional Medical Care
“The third cool thing about essential oils is they are cheaper than traditional medical care. Let me explain … Who can tell me their co-pay for visiting the doctor? (Let people volunteer their co-pay until you find the cheapest one in the room, don’t worry if someone says zero. Just go with the lowest number.) “And if your doctor gave you a prescription for an antibiotic, how much would it cost to fill the prescription?” (Let people volunteer how much they’d spend on the prescription until you’ve founded the cheapest one, once again don’t be worried if someone says zero. The numbers will work out.)"
“When someone in my family has an ear infection, we rub two drops of lavender & two drops of tea tree around their ear, & put them to bed. 12 hours later the ear infection is cleared up. It costs us about 64¢. Now whether it costs you $20 for the co-pay & the prescription, or whether it costs $0 because you live in a country with free medical care … Essential oils are STILL less expensive than the gas in the car you pay to go to the doctors office. That’s not including the half day of work you probably had to take off for this emergency. We also haven’t taken into account the fact that antibiotics harm your gut, & that you might have to buy extra probiotics for two weeks to fix the damage, which is even more money.”
“We save hundreds of dollars a year in medical costs because of essential oils. You cannot afford NOT to use natural solutions! THAT is why essential oils are cheaper than traditional medical care.
“And that is the third cool thing about Essential Oils. Who can tell me the third cool thing about essential oils?”
💝 Reward whomever answers with a sample bottle. Share what that sample oil is good for.
“Now, who can tell me ALL THREE cool things about essential oils?”
💝 Reward whomever answers with a sample bottle. Share what the sample oil is good for.
