Scentsy for George Washington

What Scentsy Warmer Would George Washington Have in His Home? 

 

So taking what we know about the first Commander-in- Chief we can make some assumptions as to what kind of Scentsy products he'd have in his home. The first thing that came to mind was Cherry Trees. Scentsy used to have a Cherry Tree Scentsy Warmer but that's since been discontinued so we can cross that off the list. That was a given. Scentsy does have a new, fantastic scent called Sugared Cherry which would be a perfect scent for this time of year and given his penchant for Cherry Trees I think he would love the whispy, clean aroma of sweet, sugared cherries...who doesn't?! 

Interesting fact - George Washington is the only US President that didn't live in the White House. He selected the site for the White House and the approved the design but finished his term as President before it was completed. George Washington lived in a home in Philadelphia, PA which was the functioning Capitol of the USA at the time.

In 1794 George Washington signed the Naval Act authorizing the construction of 6 frigates thereby creating the Navy. So while I'm sure Mr. Washington was just as big a fan of the ocean as any other guy I don't see him theming his whole home around it. The ocean does tend to be a popular theme for bathrooms.

Come to think of it, they didn't have indoor plumbing yet so we're talking about the outhouse now. I'm guessing most folks didn't really care what their outhouses looked like inside since they'd just as soon get out of a stinky, bug infected, freezing or hot outhouse (depending on the time of year), rather than enjoy the seaside decor. So we're not looking for a Scentsy Warmer, now we're looking for a pleasant aroma when duty calls. So if I were Mr. Washingtons Scentsy Consultant back in the day I would have encouraged him to line the walls of ye ol' outhouse with Scent Circles that celebrate his creation of the Navy. Some classics are Scentsy Ocean, Scentsy By the Sea, Scentsy Atlantic Air, Scentsy Bonfire Beach, or Scentsy Pacific Daydream. Martha would have been on my side with this one.

Back in the home, George had a lot of hobbies and so there are plenty of Scentsy Warmers I would have probably suggested for him and Martha. One might have been the "I Love Dogs" Scentsy Warmer.  Apparently, among his hobbies of farming and hunting, Mr. Washington also enjoyed breeding dogs. Probably hunting dogs, who knows, maybe even French Poodles to thank the French for their support. Either way, the man liked dogs.  The second suggestion below "Moose Valley" Scentsy Warmer Wrap is a nod to his love of hunting.

The last two Scentsy Warmers I'd recommend to Martha. I'm guessing she enjoyed the occasional tea and the English Breakfast Scentsy Warmer would be a fitting warmer fancy enough to grace Mt. Vernon or the President's house in Philadelphia. I'd also recommend a Scentsy Diffuser and point her in the direction of the Scentsy Enliven Diffuser with it's classic design and clean, white finish. Apparently, the hubs, Mr. George Washington, had a passion for interior decorating and design and meticulously decorated his Mount Vernon home, where he hosted elaborate dinner parties so an elaborate Scentsy Diffuser would be a great addition.

What do you think? What Scentsy Warmers, Scentsy Diffusers, or other Scentsy products do you think Mr. and Mrs. Washington would have in their home? Maybe a Scentsy Buddy or two, or more? Given his penchant for design and interior decorating I'm thinking the first Mr. President would have had a heyday matching Scentsy Warmers to his home design. He'd probably fill his mancave with the Washington Nationals professional Baseball Scentsy Warmer because, well, you know, Washington and all. 🙂

5 Keys Rocking Sales as a Scentsy Consultant

5 Keys to Rocking Sales as a Scentsy Consultant

Here are our five tips on how to rock your Scentsy sales and grow your customer base to ensure business success.  As much as we talk about recruiting new individuals to join Scentsy and become Consultants on your team, it's imperative you get comfortable selling Scentsy as well. 

If you're not yet a Scentsy consultant, we would love to have you.  When you have grown tired of reading our blogposts or watching our video tips on how to be an awesome Scentsy Consultant and you're fired up and ready to launch your own Scentsy business and start earning free travel, enjoy more time with family, or pay off some debt, follow the link to Join My Scentsy Team!!

1. Make a Scentsy Sales Goal

Goals give you direction. The top achievers across all fields from athletes, to successful business-owners use goals to direct their focus and measure their progress. Having a target helps narrow your focus and so you can identify what it will take to hit your target. Everyone, including you, started your Scentsy business with a hope of something - whether it was simply to be able to buy the products at a discount or to earn free travel, extra money, or to make it their main source of income; identify what that is for you and make goals to get you there. One of the saddest things for us as top Scentsy sponsors is when we’ve had to watch visionary, capable, high-potential individuals give up on their Scentsy business because they never used goals to chase their initial dreams.

This includes making a daily plan of specifics that you will do every day to achieve your goals. Whether it’s to send out an email, or PM you best customers, or text locals - whatever it is, break down your big monthly goal into bite-size daily ones that you can own and that will get you to your big goal. Don’t allow yourself to surrender your goal to speed bumps or roadblocks that might come up. You’ll get discouraged and experience some rejection and disappointment so be stubborn with your goal, don’t give up when your efforts don’t yield what you were hoping.

2. Diversify How You Sell Scentsy

We all have our favorite way of doing things AND our favorite ways of not doing some things and avoiding things that intimidate us. Now, obviously, leverage what you know and what you’re good at but don’t run away from other methods of getting additional sales. Try something new. If you’ve never done a home party, try one. You’ll be surprised, they’re more fun and easy than you’d think. If you’ve never done a fb party, a fundraiser, basket party, fair and show, - try it. Or, even better, think of your own unique way of getting sales.

In the world of retail they talk about the three ways to get more sales - get more customers, get them to buy from you more often, and increase the average amount they spend with you. When you joined Scentsy and became a Scentsy Consultant, you became your own sales channel so examine your relationship with your customers and determine in which of those three areas you can grow your sales. There are so many unique, different ways to grow your sales, it’s worth it to diversify your approach.

3. Follow-up With Your Scentsy Customers 

It’s age-old marketing wisdom that it costs more to acquire a new customer than it does to simply take care of existing customers and help them be your best customers and source of consistent sales. In my experience, when I’ve contacted my Scentsy customers to make them aware of sales, specials, promotions, BBMB, 10% off, Scent of the Month or just to see if they wanted to get a fresh batch of new scents in the 6 pack; they appreciated being made aware of it and felt like I was doing them a service. Rarely did they express irritation that I was making them aware of our specials. Done with the right mindset and in the spirit of taking care of a Scentsy customer, well-done follow-up can become a thriving source of sales for you every month.

As a Scentsy Consultant, remember to keep your follow-up focused and simple with a clear call-to-action and make it easy to do it. For example, if you send out a text to your VIP customers be sure you tell them why you’re texting them (It’s 10% off month! Your favorite Scentsy scents are now only $3.75 vs. $5.00 when bought in a 6pack!) and make it easy for them to take advantage of why you texted them like including a link to your PWS in the text. Take care of your Scentsy customers by letting them know when relevant specials, new products, or discounts are available and they’ll appreciate it and you’ll be able to increase your sales!

4. Ditch Distractions

Take a diet from your distractions, particularly the communication distractions - emails. Facebook. Twitter. Instagram, whatever they are. Don’t let yourself get trapped in the busy-ness of responding to every like, reply, PM, retweet, or email urgently. The constant looking down and refreshing of the various social feeds on our phones suck our focus and energy and cripple our ability to make consistent, solid progress. With your goals made and a daily plan in place, prioritize getting those done without the ever-shiney object of social media squirreling you away from your goals that you really want to ensure get done.

Sometimes, and this may be you, but sometimes we check our phones not because we’re really eager to see an update as much we want to avoid something we fear, or feel uncomfortable doing. That’s another reason this is on the list and speaks to our last tip - put down the distractions and get ‘er done. Feel free to implement a reward system - once I get orders totalling 200 PRV than I'll check fb for 5 minutes. Now, though it might sound like it, I’m not suggesting you become good friends with a volleyball and live on a deserted island. This is prioritizing getting your results above things that can wait.

5. Do it.

These tips are well and good but if we don’t get over ourselves and do it, nothing happens. I’ve seen lots of Consultants make goals and express determination to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals only to see them surrender to procrastination, fear, distractions, and poor time management. Don’t let yourself be the greatest obstacle to your Scentsy success. I’ve heard every rationale as to why goals didn’t happen but at the end of the day, in most cases, it’s a matter of fear or skills. Sometimes Scentsy Consultants become afraid of being public as a direct seller, because they aren’t comfortable in their own skin as a Consultant and are anxious about having labels attached them that sometimes accompany direct selling.

Other times, it’s a fear of failure, it can be nerve-wracking to put yourself out there to achieve a goal and not be successful. But really, do any of us mock the hundreds of Olympic athletes that don’t leave with a medal? Of course not. If it’s not fear, then it’s a skill gap, you simply don’t feel like you know how to have a home party, or do a fundraiser, etc. Regardless, whether it’s fear or skills, there’s a million amazing training videos in the workstation and a massive amount of expertise in my Scentsy group that would be happy to help. But, at the end of the day, nobody but you can make the calls, have the party, send the texts, or etc. It’s all entirely in your hands, just do it. 

You can have success with your Scentsy sales.  There are always customers wanting to buy, sometimes you just have to find them.  Use these 5 keys to rocking sales as a Scentsy consultant, and you'll find success in no time.

3 Ways to Improve Your Recruiting Today

It's been said, “Sales is money today and recruits are money for tomorrow”. And if you’ve seen our video showing the actual data breaking down our commission paychecks, (Scentsy paycheck breakdown) you’ve seen that the greatest growth opportunity as a Scentsy Consultant is in the Frontline and Director Generation bonus. Essentially, the more you grow your team and help them experience success, the more you are compensated for your success in those areas.

Want to receive our FREE workbook on How to Become a Rockstar Recruiter today? So finding new individuals to join you on your Scentsy journey is always top of mind for anyone serious about making a living off their Scentsy business. Recruiting can also be a very nerve-wracking experience and leave both the Scentsy Consultant and the potential recruit feeling awkward and weird. Nobody likes awkward and weird. Here are three things that I’ve found consistently help me and my team get our game face on and have better, more natural conversations with a better success rate.

First, change your perspective.

Too often our perspective when we’re recruiting is not dissimilar to begging and pleading. We make a goal to recruit so many or to have so many conversations with people so diligently we head out to “do our duty”, get out of our comfort zone, and find some new teammates. And before we know it, seconds into our first conversation, we freeze and have that, “I want to barf. Why am I doing this?” feeling in our gut.

Perception is Reality. To change your reality change your perspective. If the thought of recruiting makes you sweat and feels like a massive burden on your back than, in my experience, you aren’t completely comfortable with your identity as a Scentsy Consultant OR you have doubts about achieving your goals as a Scentsy Consultant. Accept who you are and the choice you made. You are a rationale person and made a decision to join for a good reason so don’t let fears about how others will perceive you deter you from your goal. You never sweat or go numb when you tell your friends, family, party guests about your favorite restaurant so take that same mentality and apply it to offering the opportunity. You are simply sharing something cool with the people you are talking with.

Second - Relax; Don't surrender to desperation.

You want them to join so badly, for whatever reason, that you start to become slimey forceful. Nobody, even the Consultant being slimey forceful, likes that - nobody wants to be that person, and surrendering to the temptation to become like this in a conversation is actually a massive turnoff to whoever you’re talking with. It’s great to have goals but don’t let an intense focus on your goal handicap the execution such that you are focused purely on the outcome You Want. Relax and be honest with yourself and whoever you’re talking with.

The reality is, the more you talk to people about becoming a Scentsy Consultant, the more appealing it is because it is more natural, casual, and unintimidating. So, avoid creating pressure-filled conversations by being honest, open and unashamed and you’ll find your conversations are much more fluid and more effective. Disconnect yourself from the outcome and focus on how much you love what you are offering and your conversations will be much more natural, unique, and actually much more effective.

Third - Share your Stories.

Your personal stories, and the stories of other Scentsy Consultants, are like underestimated jedi masters in a recruiting conversation. More impactful than every minute detail about operating a Scentsy business is your personal story. I’m not making this up, it’s actually science. Donald Calne, a well-known neurologist said -

"The essential difference between emotion and reason is that emotion leads to action, while reason leads to conclusions."

I’ve had hundreds, if not thousands of conversations with individuals about becoming a Scentsy Consultant and I’ve found that individuals seemingly starving for every possible detail about being a Scentsy Consultant are really NOT interested in joining. Nine times out of ten, they aren’t even considering it. They have negative stereotypes of direct selling and want you to reaffirm those OR in their heart of hearts they want to join and be their own boss but are too afraid so they hope your responses will feed their fears about joining Scentsy so they don’t have leave their comfort zone.

So, what kind of stories are people looking for? In particular people want to know 3 main things 1.How Scentsy has impacted your life, (Travel, Extra moola, be home with family, flexible schedule, etc.) 2. Why you joined, (student loan debt, spouse lost job, love the product, always wanted to be my own boss, etc.) and 3. What your favorite benefit is of being a Scentsy Consultant. (Cruises, Self-development, money, getting to be my kids coach, etc.)  Attach a short, concise story to each of those three, and you’re good to go. Remember, nothing will sink a great story faster than too many, unnecessary details. For whatever reason, we want to include far too many details in our stories. Remember, you’ve got 30 seconds to tell your story, keep it simple and include only what advances the core message of your story. It can even be one sentence like - “I joined Scentsy and paid off my startup costs in one month”. Or, “I took my kids to DisneyWorld with my Scentsy Income”, or “My hubs lost his job and my Scentsy income kept us afloat”, or “My husband quit his job to come work with me as a Scentsy Consultant”, or even “Scentsy pays for my monthly phone bill”. Whatever it is, the reason stories are so powerful is because people can relate to them. You can even make it more relatable by saying something like “So, if you’d love to have your phone bill paid for every month, then you ought to take a look at Scentsy”.

Following these 3 simple steps will make recruiting conversations feel much, much more natural and will, in turn, increase their effectiveness. AND you won't get that slimey, forceful feeling when you're sharing the Scentsy business opportunity. Better yet, you'll have some fun new recruits join your team and grow your Scentsy business!

Top 5 Scentsy Products to Buy Before They're Gone!

Twice a year Scentsy launches new products and fragrances and sometimes even introduces a new category of products and with all those fun, new products there are always some warmers and fragrances that are discontinued.  Well, and with every new catalog there is always a lot of excitement for the new scents and products but also a little bummed for the great scents that will no longer be available. But don't let your favorite Scentsy scent disappear before you can stockpile it or let that warmer you've been eyeing be gone before you can get one for yourself!

Here are my top favorite products to get before they're gone. Of course, you're probably going to have your own list of Scentsy products you want to get before they're gone because of your own unique style but here's my list -

ROLLERSKATE SCENTSY WARMER

This is truly a one of a kind warmer; there's never been anything like it before and we're probably not likely to see this warmer again.

LUCENT WARMER

This Scentsy Lucent Warmer is such a clean, clear design that is a subtle yet classic style.

BUDDIES ARK WARMER

This is such a fun, custom warmer that it is sad to see it go but it's a great gift for an expectant mother or someone decorating a nursery with Noah's Ark theme.

RIVER BIRCH WARMER

This is one of my favorite warmers because of it's simple wood look.

Favorite Scentsy Scent to Get Before It's Gone

With 41 Scentsy scents being discontinued and more scents from the Essential and Natural Oils line, there were so many great scents dropping out that it was hard to pick one that I am going to miss the most. Many of the scents dropping out are classic Christmas and Winter scents and right now I am absolutely over winter so those scents that I normally LOVE are not on my faves list right now! 😉 With that I'm feeling very much like some clean, crisp scents to take me out of the snow-mageddon we've had here in Idaho! 😉 So with that, I went with Marshmallow Mint. This Scentsy scent is buttermint and marshmallow. It's not the fruity airy scent that is the February Scent of the Month but the marshmallow element definitely lightens it up and the mint is a fun invigorating note to have in the spring.

Is Scentsy a Good Fit for Millennials?

Is Scentsy a Good Fit for Millennials?

Millennials look for a different way to work, and wonder if a Scentsy business would be a good fit.  The millennial generation carries unique qualities and talents and opportunities.  A lot of those would make a millennial a great fit as a Scentsy Consultant. Often, they get a bad wrap, but there are some definite benefits to the millennial generation as Scentsy Consultants.

Who is a Millennial

First, just to make sure we're all on the same page, what makes someone a millennial? The Pew Research Center reports on data about Millennials and defines them as those born after 1980.  They are the first generation to come of age in the new millennium. Below are some general characteristics of the Millennial generation.

Millennial Generation

According to research from Goldman Sachs, the Millennial generation is the largest in history with a whopping 92 million members! That is even larger than the Baby Boomer generation coming in at 77 million and Generation X which was even lower still at 61 million.

Hello My Name is Millennial

Technology generation

Millennials are the first generation to grow-up in the era of rapid technological innovation.  They were born during smartphones, internet and the always-on digital world. As such, they are much more digitally connected than previous generations and use technology like texting, vlogging, messaging.  They are particularly more likely to use social media platforms to communicate.Smart Phone image

Debt generation

The Millennial generation is burdened with much more debt than previous generations. Student loan payments take up an increasing percentage of Millennial income after graduation. According to the Federal Reserve, the mean student loan balances of 25 year olds has practically doubled from just over $10,000 in 20013 to just over $20,000 in 2013.

Earning a Living

So now that we are more familiar with some of the characteristics of the Millennial generation, what do we know about what they want out of an occupation? Or really - what do they want, if anything, from the way they earn a living? There are lots of stereotypes about Millennials and lots of research about how to cater careers to Millennials.

debt image

A recent article in the Harvard Business Review stated -

Everyone gets it. Conventional wisdom holds that Millennials are entitled, easily distracted, impatient, self-absorbed, lazy, and unlikely to stay in any job for long. On the positive side, they’re also looking for purpose, feedback, and personal life balance in their work. Companies of all kinds are obsessed with understanding them better.

Actual Few Differences

The article goes on to suggest that more and more evidence is finding that there are few actual differences in Millennials and the rest of us. It continues -

While pithy descriptions of what makes Millennials unique are presented as self-evident and seem to have a ring of truth to them, very few are supported with solid empirical research. On the contrary, a growing body of evidence suggests that employees of all ages are much more alike than different in their attitudes and values at work. To the extent that any gaps do exist, they amount to small differences that have always existed between younger and older workers throughout history and have little to do with the Millennial generation per se.

The article continues to suggest that though there has been much said, studied, discussed and while stereotypes seem to abound, there just doesn't seem to be any real evidence of difference between the generations. It appears, according to this Harvard Business article, that there really is minimal differences in what the Millennial generation and the previous two (Generation X and Baby Boomers) want out of a career. The article states that -

For one, a group of researchers from George Washington University and the Department of Defense analyzed more than 20 published and unpublished studies examining generational differences and concluded that meaningful differences among generations probably do not exist in the workplace. The small differences that do appear are likely attributable to factors such as stage of life more than generational membership.

Millennial career goals

Overall Occupation Goals

So what does this all mean? My key takeaway is that Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers are looking for the same type of benefits from an occupation.  This is definitely not what I had supposed! I have done lots of research outlining the differences between Millennials and previous generations. And this article suggests that the differences are not attributable to generation, but rather life stage.

So if you are a Millennial, Generation X, or Baby Boomer, a Scentsy business could be a good fit.  A good fit is if you like the freedom to work where and when you like, enjoy free travel, spending more time with family and friends, and making good money.  If this sounds like you, then consider joining Scentsy and becoming a Scentsy Consultant.

Benefits of a Scentsy Business

Millennials are a good fit for Scentsy, and Scentsy is a good fit for Millennials. Come start a Scentsy business that offers the flexibility and use of technology where you can thrive. 

Owning your own business is key to the flexible schedule, gig-type economy, and using your creativity with technology.  This is where the benefits of a Scentsy business outweigh other jobs.

Is Scentsy a Pyramid Scheme?

Pyramid Schemes

Every now and then I tell people how my husband and I support* our family with our Direct Sales business. Inevitably the conversation leads to this question, “Oh, so it’s like a pyramid scheme?”.

No, Scentsy is not a pyramid scheme. After a while, I began to wonder what exactly is a pyramid scheme. Why do so many people consider any direct selling business to be one?

What Is a Pyramid Scheme

So first, what is a pyramid scheme? When in doubt, turn to Wikipedia! 🙂 –

“Pyramid schemes—also referred to as franchise fraud or chain referral schemes—are marketing and investment frauds in which an individual is offered a distributorship or franchise to market a particular product. Participants earn the real profit, not by the sale of the product, but by the sale of new distributorships. Emphasis on selling franchises rather than the product eventually leads to a point where the supply of potential investors is exhausted and the pyramid collapses.”

Often, the term pyramid scheme is associated with direct selling businesses.  However, it actually happens just as much if not more often in the financial sector.

Pyramid Scheme 101

Examples 

I did a Google search for the term pyramid scheme. The first result was an article about a Montana woman.  She pleaded guilty to using money from new investors to make payments to earlier investors, between 2008 and 2016. The article states that "she's accused of taking $1.5 million from 28 different people. At least four of the investors were identified as vulnerable persons because of their age, and one was mentally disabled." 

That type of "business" is bad, and should get a bad wrap.  It's also illegal (with good reason).

Here is an another article in Investopedia about pyramid schemes in the financial sector. There's also a great short video on that page explaining pyramid schemes.

How to Know if a Business Is Legitimate

Below is a video from the Direct Selling Association in Australia called "Understanding Illegal Pyramid Schemes".  The video outlines they key points of how to identify whether a business is a legitimate direct selling business or a pyramid scheme.

MLM organizations

Specifically with regards to Multi-level marketing organizations the same Wikipedia page states –

According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission legitimate MLM, unlike pyramid schemes:

"...have a real product to sell. More importantly, MLM's actually sell their product to members of the general public, without requiring these consumers to pay anything extra or to join the MLM system. MLM's may pay commissions to a long string of distributors, but these commission are paid for real retail sales, not for new recruits."

Selling of Goods is Key

In summary, any business model in which members make money from the signup fee of someone else rather than any actual selling of goods or services is a pyramid scheme. Additionally, in exchange, the organization promises its new members a share of the money taken from every additional member that they recruit. If a percentage of your sign up fee goes directly to those who enrolled you, or if you are a member of a business that rewards you financially when someone joins under you – then you are part of a pyramid scheme.

The FTC also has more information at this link- FTC Pyramid Schemes - to help consumers understand the difference between legitimate direct selling businesses and scams.

Pyramid Scheme Promises

Pyramid Schemes come in all shapes and sizes but all make massive promises.  Generally speaking, these schemes also leave their members, except the few at the top, worse off. This same Wiki page tells of about a dozen notable pyramid schemes all over the world.  These businesses have caused riots and robbed thousands, if not millions, of people lots of money.

Pyramid schemes are illegal ploys to rob people.  They promise an income to convince more and more people to pay the enrollment fee, of which they get a portion.

Structured to Defraud

In a Forbes magazine article by Nancy Collamer, she clarifies that “MLM’s are sometimes erroneously referred to as “pyramid schemes” – companies structured with the intent of defrauding the public”. These organizations are designed to make money, but NOT generated by the sale of any product or service. Money is made when individuals pay an enrollment fee - to a small group or individual at the top and are illegal.

Is Scentsy a Pyramid?

In Scentsy, I do get potential leadership bonuses from the amount my team sells. However, I don't get a sign-up fee when they join.  I am paid for helping new team members join and start a successful business, selling actual products. 

Many ask the question of how is a Scentsy consultant paid; can I really make money with Scentsy?  You can watch this video I created to explain the Scentsy Compensation Plan and how we make money.
