If you’ve been in the network marketing world for any amount of time, you’ve probably heard stories—or maybe even lived through—experiences where companies pulled the rug out from under their distributors. Sadly, it still happens, and that’s why I continue to choose dōTERRA.

Recently, major names like Modére and Rodan & Fields have made decisions that left many of their loyal distributors scrambling, devastated, and unsure of their next steps. These are people who built businesses, invested time and resources, and believed in the mission—only to be blindsided when comp plans were changed, product lines pulled, or entire structures collapsed with little warning.

I know that pain firsthand.

Years ago, I poured my heart into a couple of network marketing companies. I built teams, served customers, and did everything by the book. But in the end, the leadership’s decisions showed that their commitment to the field was conditional—and I was left picking up the pieces. That experience changed how I looked at network marketing forever. It made me determined to be more discerning, to only align with a company that honors and supports its people long-term.

And I found that company: doTERRA.

Why doTERRA Is Different

doTERRA doesn’t just talk the talk—they’ve proven, again and again, that they’re in it for the long haul. They check every box on my list—and then some:

• Highest Quality Products: doTERRA offers the most pure and potent plant-based remedies on the planet. Their oils are used by millions of people, not just for building a business, but because they work.
• A Customer-Centric Model: With a retention rate of 65–85%, doTERRA has the highest customer loyalty in the industry. That speaks volumes. People come for the products, and they stay because of the results.
• Proven Leadership: The founders of doTERRA have a combined 100+ years of experience and operate with transparency and integrity. Early on, they made a radical promise: they signed contracts stating that no corporate founder would ever earn more than the top distributor. That kind of commitment is unheard of in this industry.
• Business Model: Can I understand and do it? Can someone else understand it and do it?
• A Generous, Distributor-Focused Comp Plan: Unlike most companies where only a tiny percentage earn real income, doTERRA has more people hitting higher ranks and sustaining income over time. Their plan is designed for long-term success, not short-term hype.
• Sustainable Growth: At one point, doTERRA was growing as fast as Apple. That kind of momentum doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a result of consistent excellence, word-of-mouth trust, and a company culture rooted in service.
• Culture: Would I fit in? Does it have a high moral standard? Are people valued over money? (YES!)

Don’t Settle for Less

If you’ve been burned before, I see you. And if you’re currently wondering whether your company is truly looking out for your future, it may be time to look elsewhere.

One woman I know experienced a similar shakeup in her company and decided to research what really makes a solid, trustworthy network marketing company. She made a list of five essential criteria. Most companies checked off maybe three. Only doTERRA checked all five.

If you’re looking to start your own business, or if you’re a leader with a team who deserves better, I’d love to connect with you. I’ll show you what makes doTERRA different and how you could earn more, grow faster, and sleep better knowing you’re aligned with a company that truly has your back.

Listen to this audio that shares her story and criteria—and then book a business overview call with me. You might be surprised how different it feels when the company you’re partnered with actually puts people first.

If you’re already a leader with a team, the transition to doTERRA doesn’t just offer stability—it offers serious growth potential. Many leaders who’ve brought their teams over have found that they were not only able to match their previous income, but exceed it more quickly than they ever expected. doTERRA’s compensation plan is uniquely structured to reward long-term sustainability and depth, which means you can build faster, with greater retention and stronger residuals. Your team will benefit from a product line that practically sells itself, and you’ll finally have a foundation you can trust to support your growth for the long haul.
