Scentsy Scentsational Start

Scentsy Scentsational Start

Launching a Scentsy business can be kind of a crazy experience. I mean, you just started your own business! You are finally your own boss! But that coin has two sides - not only are you your own boss, but now it all depends on you! That thought can be very scary. 

Okay, pause, before you get sweaty palms, sit - let’s break it down.

You Can Do It

First, seriously you got this. Really, I don’t doubt you can rock this. Know this, 1 great party or 2 good parties and you’ve paid off your startup costs. How cool is that? Everything after that is icing on the cake!

Seriously, anyone that can turn on a Scentsy Warmer is capable of earning back the $99 you paid to launch your new biz. 🙂 It’s not rocket science it’s largely persistence and determination. We’ve been doing this since 2008 and we've seen dozens if not hundreds of people join Scentsy - some rock - others roll. The greatest difference between them is whether or not they stick with it. It’s really all in your hands.

Start Strong

If you’re considering joining Scentsy and becoming a Scentsy Consultant, there are some amazing incentives that can ONLY be earned in your first 15 or 70 days as a Scentsy Consultant. Once those days pass they’re gone, you can’t earn them any more.

Shooting Star Award

One of the incentives is called the Shooting Star Award. Basically you sell 500 in PRV (approx. $500 USD) in your first 15 days.  You are then eligible to purchase a kit of Scentsy products at an amazing price. 

This helps you have products to be able to demo at a party, fair, show, Facebook party, or however you want to use them! And that’s great, but in my opinion there is a far better incentive to focus on to really get your Scentsy business off to an awesome start.

Scentsational Start Program

Earning the Shooting Star Award puts you on a good path to earn the Scentsational Start Awards too.  You didn’t ask but I’ll tell you - the single greatest way to launch your business is to take advantage of the Scentsational Start Program. Why?

Scentsy has shared the results of research they’ve done that indicates that those who earn Scentsational Start go on to become Directors. Not only that but earning Scentsational Start gives you product credit, an exclusive warmer, recognition at Scentsy Family Reunion, oh, and did I mention product credit?!

Level 1 starts with $50 in product credit and that goes up to $225 at Level 3, how awesome is that!?

Scentsational Start Award 101

Three Levels to Earn

There are three levels of Scentsational Start and each level can be earned in two different ways. One way is entirely through sales and the other is a combo of sales and recruiting. I’d encourage you to go with the combo just because that puts you in a great position to grow your team and helps you develop habits that give you a foundation for long-term success. After all, you’ve got your sights set on earning a free trip right?! Life as a Scentsy Consultant has taken us to places like Greece, New York, the Dominican Republic, Cancun, Nashville, and more - for free. I have yet to meet someone who hates free travel. 🙂

Level 1

Now, let’s take a quick walk through it. The chart above is pretty self-explanatory but let me add some details. First, notice that if you earn Scentsational Start Level 1 through sales you have also earned the Shooting Star Kit AND promoted to Certified Consultant AND entirely paid off your startup costs AND earned an automatic, permanent pay raise (you go from earning 20% to 25% on your sales). Not bad! Not bad a’tall! 😉

Level 2

Now let’s look at Scentsational Start Level 2. If you earn Level 2 (either method - the sales or the combo) you’ve done all the same things as Level 1 but if you earn it through the combo method (in 1 month) you’ve double promoted to a Lead Consultant and now tap into 3 of the 10 ways you can get paid as a Scentsy Consultant! In addition to the awesome start you have and the glorious commission check that awaits you, you’ll also be awarded $125 in FREE product credit! That’s more than double the amount awarded for Level 1!

Level 3

Now, Scentsational Start Level 3. This is by far the Super Supremest way to launch your new Scentsy business! To earn this level you’ve got 70 days to sell 6,000 in PRV - that’s a lot, not undoable but again I’m going to steer you towards the combo method - 3,000 in PRV and 2 Active Consultants. Active means that your new teammates need to sell 200 in PRV (approx. $200 USD) in your first 70 days. Both methods are great but if you earn it with the combo method you are a Star Consultant! That means you’ve moved from Essential to Certified to Lead and finally Star and you’re tapping into 4 of the 10 ways you can make money as a Scentsy Consultant! And, bonus - you’ve just earned $225 in product credit!

So, it is a lot of work but it’s by no means out of reach.  If you’re going to launch your biz might as well go big or go home.  This helps you really get set up to promote to Director AND you get FREE product credit!

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.

Top Scentsy Products to Buy Before They're Gone!

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 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.

vimeo id="145132190"

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.

So do I sell products? Absolutely! Scentsy has a fantastic brand with amazing, innovative products namely, Warmers, Diffusers, Buddies, Laundry, Skin, and, of course, it's very, very popular fragrances!

To buy Scentsy online simply visit my Scentsy Website to browse all of the fantastic items I sell.   

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.

Is Scensty A Scam?

Want to learn more about Scentsy, the company? Here's a little history about Scentsy in an article answering the question Is Scentsy a Scam?

*When I talk about income from our Scentsy business, the FTC requires that I add results are not typical, and include this Income Disclosure Statement.  Results are not typical, but honestly, neither are you.  I worked hard to make this happen, and so can you.

Could I Be An Awesome Scentsy Consultant?

Could You Be An Awesome Consultant?

Deciding if you are a good fit and could be an awesome Scentsy consultant is a common and important question.  Here are four key things to consider:

1. First, it's helpful to make sure you are ready to start a Direct Sales business as a Consultant (if you're asking, I think you are!).

2. Second, to partner with a company you trust (Scentsy is awesome!). 

3. Additionally, choosing a good sponsor is important.  Your sponsor can mentor you to get started as a Consultant, and keep building your business to success (I'll be here to help you!).

4. Lastly, YOU are the key ingredient.  If you possess these qualities below (or want to work to get them), you really could be an awesome consultant. 

Could you be an awesome scentsy consultant

My Consultant Experience

Joining Scentsy as an Independent Consultant is one of the best choices I have ever made. My husband and I have started multiple business. None have as been rewarding emotionally and financially as our Scentsy business.

A Team Mentor

My journey as a Scentsy Consultant began when I joined in 2008.  During that time, hundreds of Consultants have joined my team.  I love to help them grow their business and achieve their goals.  My favorite part as a Consultant is mentoring my team, and I have even earned the Annual Mentor Award 6 times, so I have lots of experience with new team members. 

I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands of Consultants join my team or other teams. Some become Consultants and rock and roll their business while others seem to fade and leave.  I have stuck with it as a Consultant, so I think it's helpful to look at why some don't stay. 

Why Some Quit

In the direct selling industry it’s said that at any given moment, one-third of your team is just starting, another third is really working, while another third is on their way out. Meaning they’ve hit some kind of obstacle and lost their drive and momentum to keep chasing their goals.

In the more than 15 years that I’ve been a Scentsy Consultant, I’ve seen plenty of great Consultants run into challenges. They lose steam and let their business fade away.

It could be a matter of bad timing with life.

Could also be that they were not comfortable coming out of their comfort zone, or maybe their team grew and they felt uncomfortable being a leader.

Maybe they felt unsupported by friends, family, co-workers etc. who held the stereotype of direct selling undermining the success of their friend.

Whatever the reason, people join and don’t capture whatever they envisioned in their head.

Who Will Be Successful with Scentsy?

So who will be an awesome Scentsy Consultant?

First, I can say that I’ve not found any demographic answer to who will be a successful Scentsy Consultant.

No single factor, regardless of background, education, income level, race, where you live or any other variable, seems to consistently show how much success you’ll achieve as a Scentsy Consultant. Even having past experience in direct selling isn’t a clear indicator.

I’ve seen individuals join Scentsy from all over the world from all backgrounds.  Some come with amazing experience in direct selling – sellers of other brands with years of experience... and yet that doesn’t always translate into success with Scentsy.

If it’s not experience, education or any of these things that determine success what does?

Qualities of Awesome

There are a handful of things that I’ve observed that make a very real difference in how much success a Consultant is able to achieve. 

What is so amazing and inspiring about the things I’ve observed are vital ingredients in the recipe for success is that they are characteristics that ANYONE can have. There is no monopoly on them so there is no reason anyone, from any background can become an amazing Scentsy Consultant.

1. Optimistic

The first is Optimistic.

No matter your background, years of direct selling or professional experience, you will be hard-pressed to achieve any significant Scentsy goals without overcoming obstacles. I’m not saying that the road to success is impossible or only for the real superheroes. But, like any real notable achievement, you will need to get comfortable out of your comfort zone and be able to overcome fears or skill gaps.

Whether it’s fear of failure, lower sales than planned, a potential recruit that declines, or some other thing – those who can lift up their head and optimistically move forward, win. Success as a Scentsy Consultant, is more attainable than most people realize.  Whether you define success as trips, time with family, working from home, extra income or lots of income, it really can be yours. But without optimism people sell themselves short and give up. Optimism is the silver lining.

For example, because Scentsy is a very popular product, sometimes a product will sellout within hours. It’s a real bummer and I don't envy the employees who spend hours and hours estimating, calculating, and forecasting how much of a particular product to produce. It’s a thankless job and sometimes they get it wrong. But, what am I going to do? Complain that my products are so popular and wish I could join the countless numbers of other companies begging people to buy my product?

There is always a positive side to every news, training ourselves to find it is the trick. By no means does that mean we, as Consultants no longer carry the need to communicate to the company when they screw up. However, after that, the best course forward is with a positive attitude.

2. Team Player

The second is being a Team Player. We’re all in this together – life and Scentsy. To achieve any of the goals that people have with their Scentsy business, it’s imperative to have the ability to work with people that are different from you.

As your Scentsy business grows you will recruit people, possibly from all over the world where Scentsy is available, and they will be different than you.

I’ve found that those who join Scentsy with an attitude of “We’re all in this together” and help their fellow teammates and their downlines, really get their business off on the right foot.

3. Self Starter

Being a self-starter. In the more than 15 years I’ve been a Scentsy Consultant I’ve been at a leader level for almost 14 of those years. I’ve welcomed amazing new team members, and been super excited for them. I would put myself in their shoes and envision ways they could have awesome sales success and grow their team given their unique strengths. I often found that I was thinking more about their success than they were.

Every new Consultant asks me to help them grow their business, and I absolutely LOVE helping everyone achieve their goals.  I am not a Scentsy Consultant just for the money, trips or anything else. Nothing is more motivating to me than to see the lives of my team change with their Scentsy business.

SO many have discovered they can be home with their kids and still bring home a good income, earn free trips for them and their significant other, help cover bills after a spouse is let go from work, or pay off pesky student loans. THAT makes it SO MUCH FUN.

That said, I discovered that when I held my new Consultant's hand, I actually did them a disservice.  It robbed them a bit of the “baptism by fire” experience that fuels their drive. Since I could easily see them as a successful Consultant in my minds eye, I worked to help them.  However, in the long run, they didn’t strengthen their self-starter muscles so they floundered.

Now, my approach is I don’t push or pull, I partner. I will work alongside you, recognize your success, cheer you on and help you overcome skill gaps or fears but I cannot earn you a trip or a promotion. And in the long-run, it is better that way. That seems so counter-intuitive but I’ve found it to be true.

4. Determination

If you could work hard for 2 years and earn a Doctor's salary would you do it? How many years do they work hard for a Bachelor’s degree, or a Masters, or even longer – to be a doctor?

I’ve seen both talented, promising individuals and seemingly untalented, and unpromising individuals join Scentsy and become Scentsy Consultants. I’ve seen people from both groups go on to experience massive success and people from both groups that let their business die.

Along with the other characteristics I’ve talked about, those that found success seemed able to keep on keeping on when confronted with obstacles. Not only that, they didn’t let life happen to them, they made goals and dreams with dream boards and pictures of what they wanted to earn or win sticky-tacked to the mirror in the bathroom or in their car. They decided what they wanted and worked to earn it, at all cost. The simple act of deciding what you want, writing it down, posting it all over the house, and doing whatever it takes to make it happen is very, very powerful.

Again, no one has a monopoly on determination, nor is it very complicated.

Determination is something that I cannot give or train, which makes it so vital to your success as a Scentsy Consultant.

I can help you make goals, I can even help make dream boards. 

How well you make it happen and actually do it every day is up to you.  

Let's do this!
