MLM stands for "Multi-Level Marketing" and is a sales model where products or services are sold directly to end customers, and new distributors can be recruited who, in turn, sell products and recruit further distributors. This creates a hierarchy of distributors in different levels, who receive commissions or bonuses for their sales and the sales made by their team members.

dōTERRA uses the MLM sales model to bring their essential oils and products directly to consumers. Through this model, distributors can personally experience the effectiveness and benefits of the products and share their experiences with others. The direct sales model allows dōTERRA to build relationships and offer personal consultation and support to ensure that customers have the best possible experience with the essential oils.

It is important to emphasize that MLM is not the same as a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme is an illegal business model where the main goal is to recruit new members and extract high registration fees from them without actually selling products or services. This type of system is not sustainable and usually leads to the last participants suffering significant losses as there are not enough new recruits to support the previous ones.

In contrast, dōTERRA's MLM model is based on selling genuine products and building a real customer community. dōTERRA's distributors earn commissions and bonuses through product sales and team building. The MLM model provides an opportunity to achieve financial success and build a business by working hard and establishing a solid customer base.

dōTERRA is a reputable and established company committed to the highest ethical standards and the quality of its products. It aims to provide real and sustainable business opportunities by leveraging the strengths of the MLM model while creating value for its customers.

However, it is important to be aware that success in MLM is not guaranteed and requires hard work, dedication, and continuous development to be successful.
