Are wondering if Scentsy consultants have success, or if you can be successful as a consultant? That is a natural question; it's important to know about a business opportunity when you start.
My Scentsy Story
Join Scentsy and become a Consultant
I decided to start selling Scentsy to make money from home. It has been great, and I have had great success as a Scentsy consultant. I wanted a business I could fit in to my life as a stay at home mom of (then) three kids and bring in extra money for our family.
My husband had just graduated from Graduate School and started his own business, but it's a slow start from the ground up. Then the recession of 2008 hit, and his new business was hit hard.
I needed to either get a job, or find something I could work from home to bring in money for our family.
Start a Scentsy Business with low risk
I joined Scentsy on February 21, 2008 and received the Scentsy starter kit for $99. My goal was to make my money back in that first month. That way in case I hated it, or wasn't any good at Direct Sales, I would have no strings attached. That way, I could walk away and not have lost anything but a bit of my time, but at no risk to my family.
I booked parties with everyone I could think of, and even traveled hours away to have a party with my sister. I was successful with my goal, and make my initial Starter Kit investment back, and even a little more in my first month being a Scentsy consultant.
Since then, I've continued to grow my business for these 15 years, and have reached the very top level of Scentsy SuperStar Director. I am so glad I was brave enough to join back then!
Work at Home Business Opportunity
A lot of success is possible with my Scentsy business because I am able to build my business around my own schedule. I can work on my business when the kids are at school, the baby is napping, or even early morning or late at night when they are sleeping.
I love that I am able to build my Scentsy business and have success, but not have to sacrifice my family time or being home with my kids while I earn extra income from home. Scentsy really is the perfect work at home business opportunity.
How to Have Success with Scentsy
I made the commitment to make my Scentsy Business work no matter what, and did everything I could think of to have success with my Scentsy business.
I have done countless home parties, big fair and show booths, sponsored many Scentsy fundraisers to help support other organizations.
In my 15 years, I have mailed a ton of basket (catalog) parties, and held open houses for friends and neighbors in my home.
Another way I worked is with businesses. Together we set them up to give Scentsy for their corporate gifting programs.
My favorite way I have learned to grow my business is that I even learned how to make and update this Scentsy website to expand my reach.
My many experiences allow me to really help the consultants on my team and offer strategies and tips for success, as well as offer support and perspective. I am there for my team every day and spend a lot of time and effort to ensure their Scentsy success with their Scentsy business.
Build your own Scentsy Business
If you are thinking of becoming a Scentsy consultant, I highly recommend it. I encourage you to join today. Start your own Scentsy business with the mindset of making it work, whatever it takes. No doubt you will have success as a Consultant too.
I would love to be your Scentsy sponsor and mentor to ensure your Scentsy success with me. Come join my Scentsy team today and start your Scentsy consultant success!

New Scentsy Product Line: Velata
New Scentsy Brands and Product Lines
What an exciting time to be a Scentsy Consultant! The Scentsy Family is known as a fragrance leader and has certainly made a splash among Direct Sales companies since it started just 8 years ago. Scentsy Family will expand its horizons yet again in a bold move by creating TWO new Scentsy Family brands and Scentsy product lines in 2012. Scentsy will create new brands with completely new products, not related to Scentsy products or the trademark wickless warmers and wax.
Multiple Brands, one Downline = Big Opportunity
The new brands and product lines will be under the umbrella of Scentsy Family and is exciting news for Scentsy consultants, or anyone considering a home based business. Scentsy Group will allow Scentsy Consultants to benefit from the businesses we have worked to build and the teams we currently have in place. Sales from the new product lines and any future new Scentsy brands will roll up into our Scentsy commissions, making revenues explode and making it much easier to advance in rank. There has never been a better time to join and be a Scentsy Consultant! Or, if candles and fragrance aren't your thing, come join in and be one of the first Consultants for the new brands from the Scentsy Family!
Velata Fondue Warmers!!
Velata is fondue made easy! A fun line of fondue warmers and premium Belgian chocolate melts. The Velata fondue warmers work similarly to current Scentsy wax warmers, with a 25-watt bulb in the base to keep the chocolate at just the right temperature. There will be 14 Velata warmers to choose from and 4 types of premium Belgian chocolate: milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate, and chocolate caramel. Yumm!!!
Velata - a Scentsy Family Brand
On May 1, 2012 Scentsy launched Velata, a new Scentsy Brand - a fun, easy-to-use, and absolutely DELICIOUS fondue experience.
You already know that warmers + wax = a simple system. With Velata, warmers + CHOCOLATE = a simple, incredible, EDIBLE party experience. Scentsy executives flew to Belgium and met with the oldest and most prestigious chocolate manufacturers. They selected the highest quality, purest chocolate that would melt perfectly and taste divine. Velata will launch with velvety milk chocolate, creamy white chocolate, decadent dark chocolate, and indulgent caramel milk chocolate. Velata chocolate will come in convenient 6-ounce pouches with pour spouts. Simply microwave, pour into the Velata dish, dip your favorite foods, and enjoy.
There are 14 Velata fondue warmers to choose from that range from contemporary to traditional design. Velata fondue warmers use the same technology as other Scentsy warmers. Simply plug them in and their 25-watt bulbs will keep Velata chocolate at the perfect temperature. Velata fondue warmers will sell for $40 (USD) / $48 (CAD); chocolates will sell for $7 (USD) / $8 (CAD).
The difference between Velata fondue warmers and Scentsy warmers is the silicone dish. It's a simple dish that has a patent-pending technology to keep the chocolate at exactly the right temperature. A metal plate wrapped in silicone absorbs the heat from the 25-watt bulb. The silicone keeps the heat from escaping, prevents the chocolate from scorching, and can go from the refrigerator to the microwave to the dishwasher with ease. You can't do that with a fondue tower, or a traditional fondue pot!
Picture a quick, delicious, family-fun night. Or a romantic date night with decadent treats. Or the "grab some chocolate and a warmer" addition to a potluck. Just imagine the possibilities! Velata is such a simple and easy way to begin a multiple-brand Scentsy business.
Can I sell both Scentsy Group brands?
Yes! You can sell all brands Scentsy currently has launched, as well as any future new brands and product lines. You do NOT have to sell Scentsy if you don't want to. You can choose to only sell one brand, a few brands, or all brands; it's up to you. You CAN recruit for ALL brands, whether or not you choose to sell that particular brand!
Any Scentsy Family Consultant can sell and recruit for ANY of the Scentsy brands offered by Scenty Family and it will all be part of one downline (team). Usually in Direct Sales, a company will allow you to sign up and sell only one brand, and if you choose to sell any of their other brands, you have to start all over. That means each brand would be completely separate downlines, separate sales totals, etc. Scentsy Family has generously allowed Consultants to join and sell any or all of the brands under the Scentsy Family umbrella, and their whole Consultants under them from all brands make up the same downline and sales totals. Even if a Scentsy Consultant decides not to sell the new brands and product lines, he/she can still recruit for ALL of the Scentsy Family brands and benefit from those sales.
What if I sell for another Direct Sales company?
Scentsy just announced that they are NOT restricting Consultants from selling any Scentsy brands, regardless of if they are selling a similar Direct Sales product with a different company. You will not be able to earn money on your downline Directors and their teams if you are receiving Leadership Bonuses for another Direct Sales company however.
It has NEVER been easier to climb the ranks with Scentsy and start a successful home based business in Direct Sales! Please call me or contact me for more information, or just join my exciting Scentsy, Inc. team of Consultants today and join in on the adventure of a lifetime with us.
New Scentsy Brand Line Extensions
Scentsy is all about scent. It started out as only candle wax and lightbulb warmers, then expanded to include on-the-go Scentsy products, Scentsy Buddies, Scentsy Solid Perfumes, and now is expanding to let us experience world-class Scentsy fragrances in other areas of our lives. The current Scentsy brand is expanding also, and getting two now line extensions this spring in the new Spring/Summer 2012 Scentsy catalog. How fun! The two Scentsy new product lines are Sincerely Scent Online Card Store, and Layers by Scentsy - a bath, body and laundry fragrance product line.
1. Sincerely Scent Card Store
Scentsy will soon launch Sincerely Scent, an innovative new Scentsy product line extension: an online Scentsy greeting card store featuring over 150 original, customizable, SCENTED greeting cards. Customers will be able to order cards online and have them delivered to the recipients' addresses without buying stamps or going to the post office.
You can personalize Sincerely Scent cards with a customized message, favorite photo, and even a digital signature. You get to send the card of your choice and also which scent sample you choose from the Scentsy Favorites collection. Each Sincerely Scent card will be mailed with a sample infused with Scentsy fragrance, allowing the recipient to experience Scentsy as soon as they open the envelope. There are cards for every occasion, from birthdays and anniversaries to holidays. You can even send Scentsy business-building cards to your team!
Cards are purchased with credits, which are available in bundles of 10, 25, or 100. One card equals one credit, and includes postage and delivery. Each card costs $2.85 (USD) / $3.82 (CAD). Sincerely Scent cards are printed in the USA.
Sincerely Scent cards will be available to purchase hopefully by summer, 2012.
2. Layers by Scentsy
Scentsy launched a second new product line extension for Spring/Summer 2012: Layers by Scentsy--personal AND laundry care products infused with your favorite Scentsy fragrances and custom-designed for Scentsy. Scentsy worked with the best suppliers in the industry to bring you personal care products you will LOVE.
With Layers by Scentsy you can create a fragrance experience that is uniquely yours, and layer your life with fragrance.
There are nine Layers by Scentsy products--eight new ones, plus Scentsy Solid Perfume. New Layers products include:
Shower Gel
Shower Cream
Body Lotion
Body Butter
Hand Cream
Body Spray
Solid Perfume
Washer Whiffs
Dryer Disks
In addition to pampering bath and body products, two new laundry care products in the new product line allow you to extend your Scentsy experience to your clothes. Washer Whiffs is a perfume for your laundry. Simply add it to the wash cycle with your detergent to scent your clothes. Then, toss your laundry into the dryer and add a Dryer Disk. The Dryer Disk is made of plastic infused with fragrance that has anti-static properties. It will scent up to 15 loads of laundry.
The new Layers by Scentsy product line will launch with six fragrances for new personal care products and up to six fragrances for laundry care products. Personal care product line prices range from $6 (USD) / $7 (CAD) for Hand Cream to $18 (USD) / $21 (CAD) for Solid Perfume.
Layers by Scentsy is an extension of our existing Scentsy product lines and is not a new brand. The new Layers by Scentsy product line is now available to purchase in the new Spring/Summer 2012 Scentsy catalog.
When will the new Scentsy Product Lines launch?
Sincerely Scent card store will be available early spring 2012, and Layers by Scentsy is now available since March 1, 2012. Such exciting additions to our current Scentsy catalog and products!!
The new brand of Velata chocolate fondue warmers will launch May 1, 2012. Orville Thompson, Scentsy CEO, announced that Scentsy will launch a HUGE new brand extension before the next Scentsy Convention in July 2012 and create a completely new Scentsy Family brand and product line. He didn't give specifics as to exactly when the new brand and product line will launch, or give any hints as to what type of product line it might be, but whatever it is, it's sure to be a hit!

How To Become a Scentsy Consultant
Join the Scentsy Team and Become a Consultant
When you decide to start a Scentsy business there are a few things you need to know. First, you will be called a "Scentsy Consultant" which is why you see this term used a lot by other people who have Scentsy businesses. Basically, you're a Scentsy Rep, a Scentsy Distributor, or a Scentsy Dealer... same thing. You are an independent consultant with Scentsy and not actually employed by Scentsy. In simpler terms, you are signing up to be able to sell Scentsy products for a commission.
Signing Up With Scentsy
You can sign up with Scentsy for $99 plus tax and shipping charges and Scentsy will send you a Starter Kit. The Scentsy Starter Kit will include some Scentsy products as well as business tools for you such as business cards, brochures, catalogs, and even a personalized website where customers can place orders. This website is located on the Scentsy domain (you can view mine by clicking on the "shop online" links or by clicking here). The website is free for 3 months when you sign up and only $10 a month after that if you want to continue to use it. All of the items in the Scentsy Starter Kit are designed to help you learn about all of the Scentsy products and to become a successful consultant and be able to start selling Scentsy right away.
Pick the Best Scentsy Sponsor
The next step is very important if you really want to run a successful Scentsy business and make money. When you sign up with Scentsy you are signed up with a sponsor. If you sign up through my website, then I will be your Scentsy Sponsor and will help you have success as a Scentsy Consultant. The sponsor is there to help you build your business. Let me teach you about the business, how to talk to customers, and how to plan the months ahead, and how to make a plan for your Scentsy business that will work for you. It's all free...so make sure you utilize me as your Scentsy sponsor as your best resource.
A good Scentsy Sponsor is much more important than I realized when I signed up. I lucked out and love my sponsor, and love working with her, but that's not always the case for some. Choose a sponsor who loves Scentsy and is proud of what they do and passionate about both the products and the business opportunity offered so they can help you. There's no reason to do this on your own! Find a Consultant who has been running a Scentsy business for awhile and who have been successful help you do the same. There's so much to love about Scentsy and so much to learn from a great Scentsy sponsor!
I have an awesome team of Consultants all over the world, so you will fit right in. You don't have to pick a local sponsor; I can train you by phone, facebook, emails, skype, youtube, etc. You can even participate in our monthly online team meetings, right from your own computer. You'll love being a part of The Best Team Ever.
How Do I Change Scentsy Sponsors?
I get asked how to switch a Scentsy Sponsor often, so I'll include this here too... if you sign up to sell Scentsy and you don't like your sponsor, you never hear from her, or you just don't work together well, it's really hard to switch. Basically, you have to contact Scentsy to have your account cancelled, then go completely inactive (sell nothing) for 6 months more and re-enroll under a new Sponsor of your choice. Definitely something to think about.
I would love to be your Scentsy Sponsor and promise to work with you the best I can. I have been a Scentsy Consultant for 4 years now, and can be a great resource to help you. I love to work with people and find this part of my Scentsy business the most rewarding. So, come join me! You'll LOVE it too!
Personalize Your Scentsy Business
This is your business so set your own goals and don't be afraid to go slowly, or jump right in. Everyone has different situations in life so devote the amount of time you can to it and most importantly... enjoy it! Here are a few tips for How To Get Started Selling Scentsy to help get your Scentsy business up and running too, and I will always be here to help!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me.
I look forward to being your Scentsy Sponsor and working with you!

Is Scentsy A Scam?
As a Scentsy Consultant I get asked from time to time whether Scentsy is a scam or not. It's natural for some people to be skeptical and to question every opportunity. It's smart to do your research. But, no Scentsy is definitely not a scam.
Scentsy is Direct Sales
Scentsy DSA Success Award
First a little history. Scentsy is a Direct Sales company based out of Meridian, Idaho and owned by Orville and Heidi Thompson. It is only 7 years old, but already there are over 149,000 independent sales representatives just like me, running home-based businesses currently in the United States, Canada, Guam, Puerto Rico, and parts of Europe (Germany, and the United Kingdom for now). All Scentsy wax is made at the manufacturing facilities in Meridian, Idaho or France, and are designed with exact specifications... so make sure you are buying authentic Scentsy products. You'll know Scentsy products when you smell them!
Scentsy Awards
Scentsy was awarded the 2009 Direct Sales Associaltion (DSA) first ever Rising Star Award which is given to the DSA member company that showed the most remarkable growth, while demonstrating adherence to the DSA's code of Ethics. Scentsy also received the DSA Success Award for 2010 and just received the Success Award again in 2011. Scentsy is also listed as the Fastest Growing Consumer Goods company according to the Inc. 500 list. Scentsy is making a big splash and setting records on every turn. When you join Scentsy, you know your team will grow and your potential is limitless!
Party Plan Model
The Scentsy business model is a Direct Sales company, set up as a Party Plan, and not a pyramid scheme or MLM company as some assume. Your success is based on your efforts and your team performance, with equal opportunity for the very newest Scentsy Consultant to be just as successful as the most seasoned Scentsy Consultant. We receive commissions every month on every sale we make, and have the chance to get paid on the Consultants in our team for as long as they are Consultants! The most common way to grow a Scentsy business is to work with a host to have a party, but Scentsy Consultants are also allowed to sell at fairs and shows, online, as a fundraiser, etc. We are paid fairly and treated with respect by everyone at the Home Office in Meridian, Idaho. Further proving that Scentsy is not a scam, Scentsy makes their money on the products we as Scentsy reps sell, not on fees, dues, or any automatically-renewing minimum sales requirements (because there aren't any!).
Scentsy is Not a Pyramid Scheme
Often there is a misconception about Direct Sales, and people assume it's the same as a pyramid scheme. A "pyramid" or "ponzi" scheme in a legal sense is a fraudulent arrangement where Consultants pay money to join, but there are no actual sales or products to buy. The compensation of pyramid schemes is driven solely by the cost of recruits to sign up.
Direct sales companies are not pyramid schemes. Direct sales companies use a distribution model that is different than a traditional corporation; however, it is still completely legal and valid. In Scentsy (or Amway, Nuskin or any other direct sales company), every dollar sold is distributed between sales consultants (commission), upline (in form of upline commission) and corporate. While the model is different from a traditional corporation, it is completely legal and is just a different method of distributing profits. So, is Scentsy a pyramid scheme? Absolutely not.
Scentsy is Not a Scam
I love being a Scentsy Consultant. It is such a unique company with a wonderful product, that is truly changing lives all around. No, Scentsy is definitely not a scam. There is no catch or fine print. In my 3 1/2 years as a Scentsy Consultant, I have never seen anything that would make me quit or doubt the company in the least bit. It's actually quite the opposite; I'm hooked! Scentsy will be an amazing part of the rest of my life. I know you'll love it and hope you'll join Scentsywith me. With such a unique, amazing company, you can't help but follow in its footsteps and with a little effort, be successful with Scentsy too.

If you are in one of these countries, or know someone who is, pass along the exciting news! If you are a member of the US military in other countries, you can sign up today and sell Scentsy on base with APO shipping, even if Scentsy is not in your country yet (110v warmers available only).
