5 Things Every Sponsor Wants to Tell Their Team

Top 5 Obstacles Every Consultant Must Conquer

In the over 9 years I've been a Scentsy Consultant I've recruited over 100 amazing people to join me on this crazy, fun thing I call my Scentsy business. I'm excited and eager for every single one to really take advantage of all the great benefits of making a living as a Scentsy Consultant - flexible schedule, work where & when I want, free travel, etc - and so I jump in and try to do everything I can to help them get their new biz off the ground.

Unfortunately, it doesn't always happen. And not for the reasons you might think.

I've never seen a Consultant close the doors of their business because they didn't know what to do or how to do it. Never. 

Below are the top 5 obstacles I've seen trip up Consultants leading them to not achieve the success they envisioned when they enrolled. If you've ever thought of being your own boss and looking for something new, check out my blog post about My Favorite Benefits of Being a Scentsy Consultant. If you're ready to join Scentsy and launch your own business simply follow the link to Join Scentsy. 

YOU ARE MORE AWESOME THAN YOU THINK 

I've noticed that many new Consultants feel inadequate or have a burdening self-doubt. I just want to say "You are enough. You are more than just enough. You are awesome!" Too often new Consultants bring in heavy negative baggage they’ve acquired from life that weighs them down under a belief they are not smart enough, tall enough, pretty enough, rich enough - whatever it might be - to do well as a Scentsy Consultant. You do not need to be anything more, or anything different than what you are.

Actually, once you allow yourself to tap into your OWN creativity, your OWN uniqueness and free yourself to be your type of Consultant - THEN you will find success. You, all by yourself, can figure out how to win at being a Scentsy Consultant. You have what it takes in spades to be successful. Don’t let yourself give in to the excuse that you - and anything about who you are or your unique situation and circumstances - disqualify you from success. Rather, recognize that your unique strengths, perspective, and personality are the very things that will help you be successful. Stop doubting yourself, or beating yourself up over past or current mistakes and engage your own strengths and you will be surprised just how awesome you are. Sounds cliche I know, but I've seen it over and over and over again.

FEAR

This happens with almost every single new Consultant. It is the number one reason, in my experience, that so many new Consultants give up. This quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson is so true -

Fear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.

Fear of failure is the most prevalent and debilitating. They say to themselves, "I don’t want to be the person that tried Scentsy and failed. If I get excited and go out and have parties, and tell everyone that I am a Scentsy consultant, talk about the business on Facebook, maybe even grow a team, and then it doesn’t work out I’m going to look like a schlumpf. All my friends will see me as a failure, I’ll feel like a failure, and they’ll tease me about that one time I tried to chase my goals as a Scentsy Consultant." I see this with SO many new Consultants. After doing this for over 9 years this is easy to recognize but the last thing new Consultants want to admit is preventing their success.

I've found the best way to address fear is to open about it. Every time I coach my team and we're making goals and tactics to achieve their goals, we always talk about any fears or skill gaps that would prevent them from doing the tactics we discussed. It is impossible to be successful as a Scentsy Consultant without overcoming fear. Nelson Mandela once said -

“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.”

JUST DO IT

NOTHING can replace doing it. I’ve had hundreds of goal-making sessions, spent hours training, coaching and even roleplaying everything from how to enter parties in the workstation to how to book parties, recruit a new team member, and take care of customers. I’ve bent over backwards to make sure my team KNEW how to do everything and felt motivated to do everything they needed to do to win. But, all too often, regardless of how much they knew how to do what they needed to do - they still didn’t do it. Consultants with little or no training have awesome parties, and recruit amazing new Consultants. They just simply do it. They host parties, they talk to people about joining Scentsy, they message people about their orders, they just do it. Untrained, untouched, imperfect, yet getting it done. No amount of training or coaching will ever replace an attitude focused on simply doing it. Sometimes we let ourselves get so focused on preparation and practicing that we become paralyzed and fail to actually just go and do it.

Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie

If you're too worried and focused on preparing and practicing then your focus is driven by fear and you doubt yourself and your training at the first sign of training. The sooner you jump into improvement by practice you are focused on finding your way to success; getting better with each misstep, tailoring your approach to fit you and ultimately finding your own, unique, very YOU type of way of operating. That's when you'll hit your stride and find you're no longer forcing yourself to invite people to buy, host, or join.

MAKE GOALS

In soccer you need goals to win. Literally, if there were no goals no-one would ever win. It’s true with Scentsy as well, if you have no goals you won’t ever achieve them. And how could you? You have no measurement of success, you have no direction, no target. Say out loud what you want from your Scentsy business and write it down. Tell someone, anyone that will be an accountability partner for you, what your goal is - whether it's your Scentsy sponsor (who would love to have that convo with you!) your spouse, friend, parent, sibling, whoever, and then get to work.

Setting Goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. 
Tony Robbins

If you want Scentsy to pay for a date night at least once a month, or cover a phone bill, the utilities, car, or even the mortgage - say it and write it down. Your Scentsy business can do any of these, and all of these!, but like anything, it takes work and working without a goal is like driving down the freeway just hoping you can correctly guess the exit that will take you to your destination. Pick your destination first (make goals) and then find a map (what you'll do to achieve your goal) to get you there.

BE PERSISTENT

For some reason, we want to believe that any setback is an indication that the whole thing is flawed. Too often if a new Consultant invites someone to have a party, join their team, do a fundraiser, or some other Scentsy-related activity and that person responds negatively they get deflated and give up. If you ask someone to host a party and they say no thanks. Move on. How many people did you date before you found the right one? There’s a million shows on TV yet we ignore the large majority of them and have our own few favorites. They simply don’t interest us. Scentsy isn’t for everyone, it has NOTHING to do with you and everything to do with them. It’s their choice, not yours. Allow people to be different than you and not be interested in buying, or joining WITHOUT taking it personally. A “No” is not a “You suck, I hate you”. It is what it is, someone indicating they are not interested, nothing more.

Giving up on your goals is like slashing your other three tires because you got one flat.

When you feel like you've hit a setback, don't surrender your goals so easily. Stop blaming yourself, you didn't royally screwup, give yourself the benefit of the doubt and try again...and again, and again. You can either keep trying with the aim of getting better as you go on your path to success OR consider everything that doesn't go as planned, as further evidence that becoming a Scentsy Consultant wasn't a good idea. So keep on keepin' on and giving it the ol' college try and I have no reason to believe you won't get better and find a way to make it work.

How to Grow A Direct Sales Business

Expand Direct Sales Business Beyond Friends and Family

One key to your success as a Direct Sales Consultant or business owner like Scentsy, is to extend your reach beyond just your initial contacts.  Friends and family can help make your Launch Party a success, and even be your first hosts, but if you don't branch out to find other contacts, you will burn out those who initially support your new Direct Sales business.

Here's a short video explaining how to grow your Scentsy or other Direct Sales Business by expanding your contacts:

Scentsy Consultant Success

Can I Have Success as a Scentsy Consultant?

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

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!

selling scentsy from home

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.

Why start a Direct Sales Scentsy Business

Why Choose Direct Sales

I began the start of my Direct Sales business as a Scentsy Consultant in February of 2008.  If you would have told me before that time that I would start a Party Plan type company and not only stick with it, but be successful with it, I would not have believed you.  I have never been the home party or entertaining type, so I never would have thought a Party Plan Direct Sales company like Scentsy would have been a fit for me. 

There are so many benefits to a Direct Sales company, let me share a few with you.

Income 

I am so glad I started my Direct Sales business against my natural inclination, and chose to start my own Direct Sales business with Scentsy.  Over the years I have built my team and my business, to the point of really making a financial impact for my family. There really is great income* potential, you just have to keep building and growing. 

*Income Disclosure Statement:  because I mentioned income and benefits I have earned from my Scentsy business, I am required by the FTC 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. 

Flexible Schedule

One of the biggest benefits to Direct Sales over a traditional job is the flexibility!  I am able to stay home with my five kids, create my own day, and still be able to add to our finances in ways I never would have imagined.  

Recognition

The extra income has been such a blessing, and is the real reason I joined. Along the way, I have also gotten promotions, awards and recognition I didn't know I needed.  Every year I get to walk the stage at National Convention, which is a fun red carpet type moment. 

Develop Talents

As I have been asked to to trainings to help other consultants, I have found that, although it makes me super nervous, I really do enjoy teaching and training.  That is put to the test every time I asked to public speaking in front of hundreds of people.  

Travel

I have earned free incentive trips to exotic places I wouldn't have taken, especially while my children are still young.  My husband and I get to go to Mexico every year for Scentsy's Annual Leadership Retreat and enjoy the beautiful setting and rub shoulders with Scentsy's best of the best. Never thought I would be a work at home Mom, and own my own company, but it has been so rewarding and I am so glad I decided to give Direct Sales a try.

Scentsy is Direct Sales and Party Plan Company

Direct Sales Association

Scentsy is not a pyramid scheme, but it's a Direct Sales Party Plan company.  Some people think that a Direct Sales business is easy or a way to make lots of money quickly.  It is a great business to build, since I get to be paid on the personal sales I make, as well as the sales from my team members in my business, so my earning potential is huge, while my risk and investment is minimal.  

I graduated from college in Business Management and always thought I wanted to own or run a business.  What I didn't think of, was how easy it would be to run a Direct Sales Party Plan company instead of a traditional business.

Join a Direct Sales Association (DSA) Member Business

There are many Direct Sales companies to choose from, but make sure any company you are considering joining is a member of the Direct Selling Association (DSA).  That ensures compliance within a certain code of ethics, and will help guarantee the business is legitimate and give you the best chances of success with your new business.

Why Join Scentsy and Direct Sales

There is no doubt I am so glad I chose to start a Scentsy Direct Sales business. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great home business opportunity with a wonderful Direct Sales company.

Direct sellers are Independent Consultants who choose when and how to work. One huge advantage of direct selling is that you can start a business while still working a full-time job.  Here are a few benefits of a Direct Sales business, such as a Scentsy business:

- Work your own hours, as many or as little as you choose and when you choose

- Never have to ask for time off or plan your family vacations around your work schedule

- Opportunity to build a sustainable business that you can pass on to your children

- The ability to control how much money you make or when you want a raise

- There's no need to create catalogs, product promotions, or other marketing materials

- You don't have to source your own products, or create your own product ideas; no time or energy into new product development

- Create lifelong friendships and networking opportunities

- Tax benefits of running a home based business

- Great part-time job to add supplemental income

- No new schooling, degrees, or previous work experience required

- Opportunity to work from home when your Direct Sales business can replace your full-time job

- New, challenging workplace where you get to create your workplace environment and choose your co-workers

- You are your own boss and can create your Direct Sales business as you like, according to your talents and abilities

- Personal satisfaction from earning promotions and watching your Direct Sales team grow

- Free trips to work toward and enjoy each year to places you never would have gone otherwise

Scentsy Annual Mentor

Best Scentsy Sponsor and Mentor

Scentsy Awards Reception Invitation

Scentsy Consultant Becky Sattler earned Annual Mentor Award and Awards Reception invitation.

I love being a Scentsy Consultant and one of my favorite aspects of my job is recruiting, sponsoring, and mentoring new team members.  In 2011, I made it my goal to earn Scentsy's Annual Mentor award, Scentsy's highest award for it's top performing sponsors and mentors. To earn this award I had to personally recruit 20 new Consultants to my team during one year and help them be active in their new business! Typically, less than 1% of Scentsy Consultants earn this Award every year so I knew I had my work cut out for me! So, I made a plan and implemented a lot of changes within my business to help me achieve my goal and made sure that each new Scentsy Consultant that joined my team had the personalized mentoring they needed to help them succeed with their own Scentsy business.  It was an awesome endeavor and I was pleased to achieve my goal... I earned the Annual Mentor at the Scentsy Annual Convention in Las Vegas in 2012!

Scentsy Annual Mentor Award

Annual Mentor AwardThe next year I continued that goal, even though the qualifications changed a bit. I now had to personally sponsor 20 new team members AND help them reach their first promotion to Certified Consultant within the year timeframe.  I focused on recruiting and made more improvements to my development programs and I was able to help 28 new consultants reach that level in just one year!! I was so happy to earn the Annual Mentor Award again at Scentsy Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana 2013.  Earning Scentsy's Annual Mentor Award is my favorite accomplishment with Scentsy.

Sign up to join and sell Scentsy with me and I'll be your mentor to help you build a successful Scentsy Family business too!

Every year since 2012, I have earned the Annual Mentor Award at the Scentsy Convention helping over 60 people, all over the world, earn the rank of Certified Consultant and get an instant pay raise of 5%! This last year, 2016, was my fifth year in a row earning the Annual Mentor Award. I really enjoy helping driven, new Consultants launch their business, start building a team, and become leaders.
