Top Five Things You Want to Know about Selling Scentsy

Should I Sell Scentsy?  Top 5 Things You Want to Know about Selling Scentsyselling scentsy

People often want to know all about selling Scentsy as an independent consultant before they join, so let's talk about the top 5 things you might want to know. Scentsy is a leading brand of wickless candles and fragrance products, sold by independent consultants all over the world. 

Potential consultants often want to know about the business model.  This includes questions like how they can earn money, the commission structure, and the costs associated with joining and maintaining their Scentsy business. They might also inquire about the support provided by the company to help them succeed.

While the specific questions can vary, here are five frequently asked questions that potential Scentsy consultants have:

1. How Does Selling Scentsy and the Business Model Work?

Scentsy is a Direct Sales business model. Consultants sign up to sell the products, and lead a team of other consultants if they choose.  Consultants earn commissions on every product they sell, whether those products are sold to customers or for their own personal use.   Leaders who grow and lead a team can also earn Leadership Bonuses in addition to personal sales commissions. 

Here are some other articles with further information on the business model:

  2. What is the Scentsy Compensation plan? 
  3. Is Scentsy a pyramid scheme?
  4. Why Start a Direct Sales Scentsy business

2. What Products Would I Be Selling?

 People interested in selling Scentsy might want to know more about the products they would be selling, such as wax melts, warmers, diffusers, essential oils, and other fragrance-related items. They may also ask about the quality of the products and how to sell them effectively.

At Scentsy, we have all sorts of fragrance products to scent your space.  That includes home fragrance, laundry, cleaning, bath and body products, kids scented stuffies, and even fragrance products for your vehicle.  We have a partnership with Disney and other licensing agencies like NFL, to bring exclusive co-branded products as well. 

Scentsy quality is second to none.  Some potential consultants worry about seeing similar products in competitor stores, but I have never had a customer leave and not come back for our superior quality. Scentsy's warranties are incredible as well, which customers really appreciate. 

3. What Are Startup Costs and Requirements to Selling Scentsy?

This is a common question among potential consultants. They want to understand the initial investment required to join Scentsy, including the cost of the Scentsy starter kits, marketing materials, and any ongoing fees. They might also ask about any specific qualifications or commitments needed to get started.

In the US, it's $99 to join plus shipping and local sales tax.  That fee includes access to the workstation, your own personalized website for 3 months, and a starter kit full of everything you need to get started.  There are no other fees to keep your account open, only $15 per month for your website if you choose to keep that. 

When I started selling Scentsy, I wanted to make enough money to cover my startup costs in the first month.  That way I wouldn't have a big commitment, and could quit if I didn't like it.  I am still here as a consultant, 15 years later, so I would say it worked out.  

4. Can I Sell Scentsy Part-Time?

Many individuals considering Scentsy are interested in a part-time venture alongside their existing job or commitments. They may inquire about the flexibility of the business, the time commitment required to achieve success, and whether it's possible to balance Scentsy with other responsibilities.

The answer to this one is easy:  yes!  One of my favorite things about Scentsy is how I can create my own schedule to work whenever and wherever it works for me.  When my kids were little, I worked during naptime and after I put them to bed.  You can definitely work Scentsy part time. 

5. What Training and Support Does Scentsy Provide?

Potential consultants often want to know about the training resources available to help them learn about the products, sales techniques, and business strategies. They might ask about mentorship, online resources, workshops, and events that can assist them in building and growing their Scentsy business.

Remember that these questions may vary based on your background, experience, and specific interests. If you're considering becoming a Scentsy consultant, please feel free to reach out with any additional questions.  I am always here to support and help you through this whole journey.

So, should I Sell Scentsy?

My next combo is a nod to the more subtle yet invigorating scents in the Scentsy Pod Collection. This combo creates an invigorating blend of two of my favorite airy yet poignant scents Prickly Pear & Agave and Just Breathe. Somedays there is nothing better than the Scentsy Just Breathe. My husband loved it the moment it came out.  

Prickly Pear & Agave + Just Breathe

Tropic Tango - well, this is just a fun citrusy fragrance with smooth creamy notes in an elegant dance that feels like summer in the tropics. I'm always a fun of citrusy scents and this one partnered with the creamy notes is fantastic. This scent includes tangelo zest, mango puree and smooth coconut milk.

Blue Grotto - Secrets' out - I could almost pair the Scentsy Blue Grotto scent with any of these other scents and have an amazing summer combo! It's that good!

Owning your own business is hard, and I find that I love great motivational quotes to help keep me going.  I run a Direct Sales business and it is no exception to the ups and downs of business.

I want to Join Scentsy

Join Scentsy and Start a Scentsy Business

Have you ever thought that you would like to join Scentsy?  There are many questions and doubts with starting a Scentsy business, but that doesn't need to stop you.  Let me show you a few of the reasons I am glad I said, "yes, I want to join Scentsy!"  I'm sure you will be glad you did, just like me.

Start Your Own Scentsy Business

A Few of My Favorite Scentsy Perks 

There are so many reasons I am happy I joined Scentsy, and many of them I didn't even expect.  The main reason I joined so many years ago was to pay off grad school student loans, and also to pay for extras like Christmas.  I did not know I would find so many other benefits too. Let me share a few of the extra reasons I love being a Scentsy consultant.

Best Boss Ever

My Own Boss

I am my own boss, and love that I am in charge of my schedule.  That flexibility means that I can help in my daughter’s school class, attend my sons' sports games, go on dates with my husband, and work around their schedules. One year, we even took a month-long roadtrip across the USA and didn't have to worry about requesting time off from a boss. I am my own boss!

Travel the world

Scentsy Trips

When I decided to join Scentsy, I didn't know I would get to travel as well as make money.  I have traveled to so many places with my Scentsy business.  Whether it's for an incentive trip I earned, or for exclusive Leadership events, or even our annual convention, there are lots of chances to travel and experience new places.

money

Money Flexibility

What started out as a fun way to help cover expenses became a way to pay for a phone bill, car payment, mortgage to today where it covers all our living expenses. I am so grateful for the choices that come from the extra money from my Scentsy business.

There are so many reasons why you would want to join Scentsy, and I am excited to help you discover your favorite reasons! 

*Income Disclosure Statement:  because I mentioned income and benefits I have earned from my Scentsy business, I am required to state that my results are not guaranteed or even typical.  However, I have done it, and can help you have success with a lot of hard work too. 

Paid At Title - Scentsy Compensation

Scentsy Compensation:  Paid at Title

You can maximize the Scentsy Compensation Plan and earn the Scentsy income you dream of by being Paid At Title (PAT).  PAT means that you are paid at the highest title you have achieved.  For example, if you are a Lead Consultant, you qualify to be paid as a Lead Consultant.  If you are a Director, you qualify to be paid as a Director, etc.   

Your title always stays the same on your consultant website, but income varies by the actual Scentsy rank you have qualified for during that month. 

Why should you be Paid at Title?

You should have a goal to be paid at title every month.  Here are a few reasons:

What does it take to be Paid At Title (PAT)? 

There are three requirements each month to be PAT in the Scentsy compensation plan.  If you have promoted to a higher rank but don’t have all of the requirements met that month to be paid at that rank, you will be paid at the level you achieve for that month.  There aren’t any penalties for not being paid at title, you just only earn the leadership bonuses based on your current Scentsy rank for that month.  

  1. 500 PRV – personal retail volume (your own sales for that month)
  2. Active FL  – frontline = your personal recruits actively selling at least 200 PRV that month (help them actively work and grow their business; if you don’t have FL, you need to recruit!)
  3. TWV  – team wholesale volume; 75% of combined team PRV (the bigger the team, the easier that is to get there, and the easier it is to reach that each month)

Paid At Title Scentsy

Scentsy Paid At Title Compensation Plan

Requirements to make money

Those three basic requirements stay the same, regardless of the actual title you are trying to reach for your promotion or to be paid at title.  The thing that changes is the amount required for #2 (active FL) and #3 (TWV) increase, based on the title.  You will always receive commissions on all sales, even if they are for your own personal use.  Read more about the specific title requirements in the Scentsy Compensation Plan here, or in the visual chart. 

Scentsy Compensation Plan

Scentsy Visual Compensation Plan

Scentsy Income Potential

The potential is the same for every person who joins Scentsy and decides to grow their business, but results do vary, as explained in the Scentsy Income Disclosure Statement.  The consultants I know who have committed to working their business have made money however, so the opportunity is there.

Come make money with Scentsy

If you haven't joined to start your own Scentsy business yet, come on in; you'll love it!  I will help you be successful and paid at title to continue to grow your own business. 

Even if you don't want to grow a team and increase in title, you will always be paid commissions on every sale.   Products that you buy for yourself count toward your PRV, so you are always paid on your own purchases. 

Selling Scentsy is a great way to help yourself and your friends buy Scentsy products, but can also be a great way to make extra money from home.

The Value of Recruiting

The Value of Sponsoring

If you are considering starting your own Scentsy business or are currently a Direct Sales consultant this is for you.  Whether you are having a hard time growing your team, or even just catching the vision of why you should recruit, hopefully this will help! 

When I say "recruit", I am referring to the intentional actions of growing your team, but of course that implies that you will mentor and help them have success along the way. 

I will show you why you should grow a team, the income potential from maximizing the compensation plan to take advantage of earning Leadership Bonuses, and tools for recruiting, along with some challenges to put it all in practice.   

"Why should I recruit?"

The same reason that you decided to join is the reason you should recruit and grow a team! Most likely you had some goal in mind for your business, and that helped you sign up.  Your efforts toward those goals are multiplied and made possible only by recruiting and growing a team.  

Why would someone want to join Direct Sales?

Here are a handful of reasons someone might join, and how recruiting is the key to attaining those purposes:

  1. Money/time (make way more money with a team, that leads to freedom… time to quit your job or time to do what you love)
  2. Travel (earn trips by recruiting and promoting)
  3. Recognition (earn promotions, awards)
  4. Social (more fun with a team, and you’ll also find some of your best friends at SFR, on incentive trips, at Leadership)
  5. Impact/Influence (much harder without a team!  Who do you influence? LOL)
  6. Self-improvement/Self-Confidence (didn’t know I was joining for THIS!  Didn’t know it would be the most valuable and favorite part of my Scentsy business; you can make money anywhere… but not everything makes your confidence.  Not everything builds you personally and helps you grow. People PAY for self-improvement classes, if you work it right, you can make money with Scentsy and have a great springboard to your personal journey!)

CYCLE: recruit and help them grow, continually recruiting to grow and expand (always better than a sale! Lead with the join opportunity).  Grow wide (increase your own personal recruits) and help them grow deep (help them all recruit). I missed out on many downline bonuses because they promoted Directors before I could tap into that bonus by being SD or SSD, but growth and momentum is always good!  Help THEM be as successful as they can...even if you miss out on their bonus… and continue to grow so you can capture that downline bonus as soon as you can. It’s a LONG game mentality.

GOAL = SSD just means that you find four people who want to get to Director and you help them get there!

Paid at Title

Make sure your goal is to always be paid at title.  (You’ll never miss a paycheck, you’ll never miss a promotion and get tons of points for incentives!)  What does it take to be Paid At Title (PAT)?  There are three requirements each month to be PAT.  If you have promoted to a higher rank but don't have all of the requirements that month to be paid at that rank, you will be paid at the level you achieve for that month.  There aren't any penalties for not being paid at title, you just only earn the leadership bonuses based on your current rank for that month.  

How Much Can You Make as a Scentsy Consultant?

This is Scentsy's Income Disclosure Statement showing maximum annual pay for each Scentsy rank.  You can see the vast difference in pay as you climb the ranks, with the huge jump in max annual commission at SuperStar Director. (This is WHY you promote and aim for SSD!!)

*I am required by the government to post this Scentsy Income Disclosure Statement stating that results vary, and nothing is guarantee of income.  Having said that, these are my real income graphs so it really is possible if you work hard!

Recruiting is about Mindset

Imagine your life if it were everything you dream of! What is keeping you from that dream? What is keeping you from recruiting? 

Recruiting is about MINDSET, not even necessarily the SKILLS.  If you WANT it badly enough, you’ll find a way to make it happen!  YOU have your own unique personality, which means your own unique way of recruiting!  If you use someone else's way, it will get you started, but you have to make it yours to be effective and non-spammy!  That comes from passion and practice!

HOW To Recruit:

Put on your recruiting glasses!  You see what you look for.  When I DECIDED to strive to earn Annual Mentor, my whole business completely changed.  When I joined in 2008 and didn't really make much progress in growing my team until I started my recruiting focus in 2012.  I was determined to grow my team, and I earned Annual Mentor in 2012! 

I earned the Annual Mentor Award again in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and missed 2017 by my last recruit to put in 30 PRV… but I earned it again in 2018.  Choosing to focus on growing my team and recruiting changed my business in every way.  I also earned my first incentive trip in 2012 to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and haven't missed earning a single incentive trip since then! 

Once you decide that you WILL grow, you will find and create the best ways for you to recruit.  Whatever you do, it must be authentic and genuine so it doesn't feel spammy. 

Don't be spammy

Recruiting can be a natural, generous way to offer something amazing that you have found.  Don't decide for them; our job is to invite and offer the opportunity to join you, then let them decide. 

How to find someone to join

Here are my 2 TOP SECRETS to how I do it!  When I started using these two methods, my recruiting completely changed and was way more effective.  These are the keys; you have to apply them in the scenarios you choose.  

  1. DIRECT RECRUITING METHOD

    1. “You would be great at Scentsy because…”  Look for one true, unique quality or character trait that would make them successful if they chose to run a  Scentsy business. (NOT how Scentsy would be good for them; how THEY would be good for Scentsy.) Express confidence and share what you see in them.
      1. 3 sentences:  you would be great at Scentsy because___,
      2. express confidence in THEM that they will be great,
      3. give them confidence in YOU, that you’ll help them
    2. Doesn’t have to be scent-related (organization skills, great social media presence, friendly, run a business, connector, social personality, fundraiser, etc).  Current customers and hosts are a great place to look, but don’t count out others… like ME!
    3. The more you train yourself to look for the good qualities in others, the more you’ll see it!  Even if they don’t join, you’ll give them a gift of an honest compliment and they will feel good about themselves.
  2. INDIRECT RECRUITING METHOD:

    1. Referrals “who do you know…” ask at parties, customers, friend conversations; this is how I got 30 good referrals for Australia when it was opening up!  This is a great way to get referrals, but it also takes the pressure off of the person you're asking, and often they admit that they have been thinking of joining.
    2. Can be in a conversation, but you should also think of a system that will help your customers know what you want from them - sticker on your products saying to post and tag you, postcard explaining your referral program and rewards, mention it in your customer newsletter, post a graphic in your VIP page, etc.

PRACTICE makes progress

  1. Turn to your neighbor and think of one UNIQUE reason they would be good at Scentsy and tell them!  (Use the 3 sentences, and ask!)

“You are so organized and would be so great at running a business!  I can see you really being so successful as a business owner, you would be perfect at this!  I will be here to help you the whole way, we can do it together; it’ll be so fun! Have you ever thought about starting a business?”

  1. Now turn to your other neighbor and ask for a referral!  â€œWho do you know that___?”
  2. Find some friends to practice and role play good examples (who wants to come up and show us how it went?)  

Scenario role play practice: (which approach are you going to use, what are you going to say?)

You can be a successful recruiter

It was Scentsy Convention 2009 in Salt Lake City and I had been a consultant for about 18 months.   My rank at the time was a Lead, and at that even they were presenting big awards and even giving away cars on stage.  This got me wondering about my potential do be successful with the business too, and I asked my husband, “Do you think this will ever be me?”.  My reason for joining was to pay off grad school student loans and have a little money for extras.  However, I didn't have the vision or belief that I really could make it work much bigger than just the helpful little income I was making at the time. 

I had no idea that I would go on to earn my own awards, trips, and even support my family with our Scentsy income after my husband was laid off from his job.  I couldn't see it then, but it really would be me... and it can be you too! 

DREAM BIG!  You CAN do it!  Don’t be afraid of success, don’t be afraid of failure, don’t be afraid to share this awesome opportunity!  You love Scentsy enough to be a consultant and make that investment and commitment to build your Scentsy business, so don’t keep it to yourself!  Share and let them decide if the time is right to join. Our job is simply to extend the offer!

Personal Action Plan

What are you going to do differently?  What’s your plan? Take-away or ahas?

WRITE down your own Direct and Indirect Approaches and practice.  Practice with your family, your neighbors, your dog, your team.

Ten Ways to Sell Scentsy

10 Ways to Work Your Scentsy Business Ways to work your Scentsy business

I love home parties and think they are a great way to run your business, but there are many ways to sell Scentsy in addition to home parties.

"Can I run a successful Scentsy business without home parties?"

Have you ever been interested in starting a Scentsy business (or other Direct Sales business), but found yourself wondering if you had to have home parties to make it work? If so, here's an article just for you! 

Ten Ways to Sell Scentsy

I have compiled a list of 10 ways to grow your Scentsy business without having to host tons of home parties... or bug your family and friends.

These are just a few ideas, but of course there are many ways to run your Scentsy business. (Just make sure you stay in compliance and avoid things like selling on eBay.)

1. Realtors

Realtors - you can work with them home staging, as well as new homebuyer gift baskets.  We can bundle their purchases to get them the best deal. They will most likely be buying a bunch at once, so you can really help make the most of the bundles for them.  Enter the items they want as a party order to give them the host rewards and shipping discount. 

Make sure you label the products with your consultant information, so the homebuyer can come back to you to buy more Scentsy. 

Another spin off to this approach is to work with a housing or apartment complex.  See if they will allow you to leave a warmer in the office with your info, a ballot box to draw for a prize, or even to add a flyer or samples to a new tenant bag.

2. Vendor events

Vendor events are perfect for networking and getting outside of your current circle.  Make sure you don’t just use it as a way to sell Scentsy, but also look for new team members. 

They are also a great way to schedule other party bookings so you get multiple benefits from the event!

3. Corporate Gifting

Corporate gifting includes working with business owners for their gift giving or incentives.  Find professionals like orthodontists who give gifts to referring dentists, or companies who give work anniversary gifts, holidays, business giveaways and incentives, etc.

4. Break Room Work Parties

This is a fun one.  Bring the Scentsy party to them!  Lunch work parties are a simple party setup you bring at lunch in the break room. 

Nobody has to go anywhere or clean their house, and it's a fun way to spend the lunch hour.  

5. Fundraisers

Fundraisers are a super way for any organization to make money for their cause.  Some ideas of where to look for fundraiser groups are sports teams, schools, choirs, pet rescues, dance teams, etc.

6. Online

Online is a great way to expand your business.  This includes creating a blog, finding bloggers to do a product review for you, or making videos for a YouTube channel. 

It can also include social media efforts, with things like creating a following on Instagram, sharing to a Facebook page, creating a private Facebook VIP group, or even hosting facebook parties online. 

7. Referrals

Referrals are such a great way to leverage your happy customers.  They love you and will introduce you to their friends as well.  Make sure to ask your current customers for referrals, sometimes they won't even think to share. 

Another great source of referrals is to have customers post pictures of their new products on social media and tag you.  That way their friends can see their personal recommendation and decide they need it too! 

8. Customer Service

Good customer care and follow up will make a big impact in your business. Taking good care of current customers allows you to keep the customers you have. That way you don’t have to find as many new ones. Make it easy for them to continue to buy from you!

9. Basket Parties

Basket parties are basically a catalog party, with a basket of samples or product testers.  You can book local basket party hosts, and also mail them away if you choose.

Many consultants have multiple sets of simple basket parties circulating all the time to keep sales coming in.  It also helps you expand your network and find new customers and hosts.

10. Build a Team

Recruit!  Build your team!  This one is kind of cheating, because it's technically not a way to sell Scentsy.  It is, however, a great way to make more money with your business.  Scentsy offers leadership bonuses that can greatly increase your paychecks as you lead and grow your team. 

You can’t stop selling and building your team, but recruiting and leading your team will multiply your efforts. You couldn’t possibly sell nearly as much as you would need to make a full-time income from your business.  Leverage the leadership component and find the joy in leading your team to success along with you!

Still hesitating? Well, that's understandable. Starting your own business can be intimidating. It kind of reminds of jumping off the high diving board at my local pool when I was growing up. It looks SUPER, CRAZY scary. Especially as you're climbing up the stairs to the top. It feels freakishly high. And then you get to the top and, if you're like me, you don't really dive off it, you just kind of step over the edge and let yourself fall straight in. (I save my flips and twirls for the Olympics 🙂 And then after that, you're like, let's do that again! And with Scentsy it is very, very easy to pay off your startup costs in one month which means anything after that is icing on the cake! Sell just $500 PRV in your first month and you've more than covered your startup costs.

Think you've got what it takes? Become a Scentsy Consultant!

Scentsy "La Habana" Collection

Scentsy "La Habana" Scent Collection

Today, May 11, 2017, Scentsy launched a fun, new collection of scents inspired by the beautiful, tropical Havana, Cuba. There are five scents in the limited-time collection of scents that are a perfect way to kickstart summer! The five scents are; Cafe Cubano, Flor de Mariposa, Habana Vieja, Pastelitos, and Playa de Varadero.

There are even three different ways you can buy these fun, new Scentsy fragrances from the Scentsy "La Habana" Collection. The first way, which is what I'm doing, is to buy the Scentsy "La Habana" Collection which includes 1 Scentsy bar of every bar in Scentsy La Habana Collection, and they all come in a super cool burlap sack branded with Scentsy "La Habana" Collection! This bundle also gives you a discount so that you get 5 bars for the price of 4!

The second way to purchase these cool new Scentsy scents is in the "La Habana" Bundle. This Scentsy bundle gives 5 Scentsy "La Habana" for the price of 4 but also allows you to pick which 5 scents those are! So, if Playa de Varadero sounds like an amazing scent to whisk you away to a tropical Cuban beach and you want to make sure you have enough to last you all summer, this is the bundle for you!

Finally, you can also buy each of the bars individually at the regular Scentsy bar price of $5! So, if you're looking to try one of each of this fun, new Scentsy "La Habana" collection then the first option is the best for you so you can get 1 of the bars for FREE and get one of each. If you know which one you like or know you won't like one of the new Scentsy "La Habana" scents, then the second bundle has your name all over it.

Whatever you do though, don't buy 4 Scentsy bars not in one of the first two bundles because you could be getting a fifth one for FREE! Follow the link to shop the entire Scentsy "La Habana" Collection
