I’ve been hearing a few myths about how a dōTERRA wholesale customer account works, so I thought it was time to set the record straight.🙌
I cannot believe that people are still being told that they have to order monthly!! 🤦♀️ Let’s just be honest with people and let them decide 😉
MYTH 1: YOU NEED TO HAVE A DOTERRA MEMBERSHIP TO PURCHASE OILS
❌NOT TRUE: You can actually purchase them retail through wellness advocates like myself. You shop on our website and doterra sends the products direct to you.
But most people do get a wholesale/VIP customer account which gives you 25% off retail prices because it’s often way more cost effective.
With the wholesale membership option you have 2 choices:
1) Get a starter kit and the membership fee is waived 2) Place a 100PV order of your choice and the membership is waived or if your order is under 50PV, you pay a R445 membership fee.
MYTH 2: IF YOU ARE A WHOLESALE/VIP CUSTOMER YOU NEED TO ORDER EVERY MONTH!!
❌NOT TRUE!! There are no monthly or other requirements. If you never order again on your account it doesn’t matter!! If you order every few months when you need oils it doesn’t matter! If you order every month it doesn’t matter! You have complete flexibility and no one should be pressuring or telling you that you need to order regularly.
We do have a completely OPTIONAL monthly ordering reward program for people that choose to order monthly but that is something you can decide to start at any time of your membership if you wish and end whenever you like.
The only exception is for people earning commission (ie doing this as a business) we need to place a 100PV monthly order to receive commission
MYTH 3: IF YOU GET A DOTERRA MEMBERSHIP YOU NEED TO RESELL AND DO THE BUSINESS!!
❌NOT TRUE!! A wholesale customer membership gives you 25% off the retail price of the products but you are under no obligation to resell or do the business In fact you can’t resell or do the business or earn any commission with a wholesale/VIP customer account.
The only way you can do that is to upgrade to a wellness advocate membership so that one is super easy to debunk!!🙂
MYTH 4: IF YOU GET A DOTERRA MEMBERSHIP IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO YOU ENROL WITH OR YOU DON’T HAVE A CHOICE!!
❌NOT TRUE!! When you get your own membership you are effectively being assigned to the person you enrol and they are your support person (So choose wisely😉). So it’s your choice and decision end of story.
Hope that has cleared it up for you!!
