how we share

by distillerynine

One of the first things I hear from people starting this business is:
“I don’t want to be salesy.”

And honestly? Same. What a relief, right? No one wants to feel like a pushy salesperson, and good news — you don’t have to be.

So here’s the deal: just don’t be salesy. You know the type of language that makes people cringe…

  • “ORDER TODAY!”
  • “Ask me how!”
  • “You are NOT going to want to miss this!!!”
  • “SALE SALE SALE!!”

If it sounds like it belongs in a used car commercial, go ahead and skip it. The best approach? Talk like you would to a friend. When you find something you love — the perfect pair of jeans, an amazing candle, the best coffee shop — what do you do? You tell people! You don’t try to “sell” it. You just share it because it’s too good not to.

That’s exactly how this works. When you fall in love with your products, share them in that same natural, honest way. People can totally tell the difference between someone who’s genuinely excited and someone who’s just trying to hit a sales goal. So share like you would if there were zero dollars involved — just real life, real experiences.

Here’s what that might sound like:

“Trying Alkalime today — it’s supposed to help balance pH. Here goes nothin’! I’ll let you know what I think.”

Or:

“Stuck in traffic this morning, so I cracked open Stress Away. Not totally sure how it works yet, but my drive felt a lot less ragey.”

This is what sets us apart — we’re not here to pressure or pitch. We’re here to share the good stuff, the real-life stuff. We want to get these oils and products into as many homes as possible, not because we’re trying to make a quick buck, but because we believe in what they can do. Honestly, if we could hand them out for free, we probably would.

And here’s something else that might take some pressure off:
You don’t need to be an expert to start sharing.

You don’t have to know every single ingredient or benefit. You just need to share what you love and why. If you’ve got lavender in your diffuser and your whole house smells like peace and calm — tell people. If that glow serum has you getting compliments left and right — spill your secret. If Thieves has become your go-to for keeping your family healthy — share your story.

That’s what people want. Not polished marketing. Just you, being real.

So go ahead. Share from the heart. That’s where the magic happens.
