My family's first time in Epcot was on a Scentsy DisneyWorld incentive trip the summer of 2021. We all fell in love with the varied experiences with culture, flavor, colors. The afternoon rainstorm did push us out before we spent as much time as we wanted in the Park, so I am excited to return and experience it again. This next time, though, we will get to experience Scentsy in Epcot too, which is enough of a reason for me to go back!
When you buy the Scentsy scents featured at Disney's EPCOT Flower and Garden festival, you bring the experience home with you. Scent creates a memory that will stay with you, long after you leave the park.
Scentsy and Disney World Resort
Our multi-year relationship with Walt Disney World® Resort includes Scentsy’s designation as the Official Fragrance Products of Walt Disney World® Resort. Similarly, Scentsy's participation in the 2022 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is our first in-park experience as well, and runs from March 2 to July 4. Come see Scentsy at Epcot!
Scentsy Income Disclosure Statement
Scentsy Consultant Income Potential
Many people as the question: "How much money can you make by selling Scentsy?" Income for Scentsy consultants varies, but the potential for income is as much as you want to make it, and are willing to work for! The opportunity is wide open, dependent on the effort you put in.
As a Scentsy consultant, you can earn between 20-36% commissions for all sales and bonuses, and can make even more from leadership bonuses as a result of growing a team.
Scentsy Income Disclosure Statement
Companies like Scentsy are required by the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) to list the potential income minimums and maximums for consultants. This helps potential consultants understand the potential, but realize that individual results may vary. So, here's the Scentsy Income Disclosure Statement:
Can you make money selling Scentsy?
The answer is yes!
Sales Commissions
If you look at the chart, you can see that Scentsy consultants always earn commissions for their sales. Those who made $0 didn't sell any Scentsy at all in the calendar year, or they would have made commissions. So, the more Scentsy products a Consultant sells, the more money they make.
As you look down the chart further, you can see the incomes drastically increase. That is a reflection of the extra money that is made in addition to personal sales commissions, called Leadership Bonuses.
Leadership Bonuses
A consultant can earn Leadership bonuses depending on their rank, which means they can be paid a percentage of the total sales of their whole team. The more a leader mentors and helps his/her team perform better, and the larger the team, the more earning potential from Leadership Bonuses. Those making the most money work their Scentsy business through a combination of selling Scentsy, and growing and mentoring their teams to success.
Scentsy Income and Lifestyle Potential
My husband and I have been Scentsy Consultants for over 14 years, and support our family completely through the income from our Scentsy business that we run together. It took us many years to build up our business to this point, but it is definitely worth it. Thanks to our Scentsy business, we now have the flexibility to work from home together. We are always available to fully participate in the busy lives of our five kids!
Scentsy offers incentive trips we can earn each year, which makes us take the time and effort to get away together as husband and wife (which probably wouldn't happen otherwise!). Our incredible team of Scentsy consultants all over the world is a benefit we didn't know we would love. Our friendships with our team and other consultants have greatly enriched our lives and helped us make life-long friends all over the world.
Income Potential
You can make money if you work hard at a Scentsy business. However, the benefits are more than even just the good income potential. If you are looking to make extra money, we would love to welcome you into our Scentsy Family too!
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.

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.
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.
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 Centerreports 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 –
"...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!

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.

VIP members can choose their order frequency and get free shipping in the contiguous United States for orders of $60 or more. What’s more, VIP members will have the option of adding one of our best-selling fragrances in a Scentsy Brick — that same Scentsy wax you know and love, but in a package five times larger than our traditional Scentsy Bars!
Become a member of the VIP program to experience VIP benefits:

Our incredibly popular Laundry Love bundle, which includes Laundry Liquid, a tub of Washer Whiffs and two packs of Dryer Disks. $60 (free shipping!)
We’re starting this program small, but we’ll add enhancements based on requests from our Consultants and customers.
We look forward to growing our Scensty VIP community and program, to make it easy for you to stay stocked up with your favorite Scentsy products. To sign up for more information about the Scentsy VIP program, visit http://www.ScentsyVIP.com so you can be one of the first VIP Scentsy customers.
Scentsy hasn't changed their host reward requirements in all 11 years as a company. It's amazing it has been able to stay the same for that long, but now as of September 1, 2015 the minimum requirement for a Scentsy party (and shipping charges) will be changing slightly.
I think it will encourage hosts to take the steps to host a good party and thereby earn more free and half priced Scentsy products. Scentsy consultants will also make more money, earn promotions more easily, and even earn incentive trips as the parties continue to increase.
Here's the new Scentsy Party Minimum requirements by Scentsy Region:
Scentsy Shipping Region 1
Scentsy US: $200 USD party = free shipping and host rewards
Scentsy Canada: $240 CAD party = 10% shipping (otherwise 20%) and host rewards
Scentsy Australia: $310 AUD party = 10% shipping (otherwise 20%) and host rewards
Scentsy New Zealand: $370 NZD party = 10% shipping (otherwise 20%) and host rewards
No Minimum Order Requirement
Scentsy products can be ordered in any amount, with no minimum order requirement, either directly through a Consultant's Scentsy Websiteor through the Consultant. However, in order to qualify for discounted shipping rates and receive the free host rewards, the party must meet these minimum party requirements listed above.
Scentsy Shipping Changes
Scentsy still offers free Scentsy shipping for qualifying party orders in the US of at least $200. If you want to get free shipping on your Scentsy order, contact me to help make sure you are getting free shipping and all of the free Scentsy host products too!!
Scentsy party orders in Canada will now be charged a minimum shipping amount, to help offset increasing costs instead of raising costs of products.
If you have any questions, or would like me to put in an order for you, just give me a call; I'm happy to help!!
What time is it? It's time to earn a Scentsy summer incentive trip!
Now is your chance to join our annual Scentsy 2015 summer incentive - Launch to Leadership! This year's summer incentive trip is a free CRUISE to Cozumel, Mexico.
Free Scentsy Cruise to Cozumel
If you earn this year's Launch to Leadership Scentsy incentive trip, you'll be joining fellow Scentsy Consultants for our annual Leadership Retreat, this year aboard Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas with a Cozumel, Mexico destination - all expenses paid (including flight to Florida, airlines luggage fee, all food, cruise and cruise taxes, as well as transportation to and from port!).
How to earn the free Scentsy cruise
How do you earn it? By doing what you do best and accruing credits through sales, enrolling new Scentsy Consultants and mentoring team members to Certified Consultant status. Just earn 15,000 credits during the incentive months, May 1st to July 31, 2015, and you'll be joining us for four days and four nights in the balmy, beautiful Caribbean (destination: Cozumel, Mexico!) from January 7-11, 2016 -- when you could really use that extra dose of vitamin D!
To qualify for the free Scentsy Leadership cruise, you must earn 15,000* credits between May 1 and July 31, 2015. You can earn any combination of credits for the following:
Each new or existing frontline member who becomes "active" for the first time in their Scentsy or Velata Consultant lifetime = 1,500 credits
Each new or existing frontline member who promotes to CERTIFIED Consultant before the end of the promotion = 3,000 credits
Reaching at least 150 PRV points in each month of the promotion (May, June and July†) = 1,000 points
Reaching at least 500 PRV points in each month of the promotion (May, June and July†) = 3,000 points
Attending 2015 Scentsy Family Reunion = 1,000 points
†Consultants may only earn credits for monthly Personal Retail Volume (PRV) at one level -- either the 150 PRV points level or the 500 PRV points level, whichever is greater. ‡Credits awarded only once.
*Region 1 (US, Canada, Mexico) all-inclusive trip qualification is 15,000 points
*Region 2 (Europe) 15,000 points will earn the cruise with a credit toward airfare; 32,000 points earned includes complete airfare too.
*Region 3 (Australia, New Zealand) 15,000 points earns the cruise with a credit toward airfare; 50,500 points includes complete airfare too.
Example of how to earn the incentive cruise (many ways to do it):
Sell 500 PRV for each month May, June, and July = 3,000
Help 3 frontline consultants (new or existing) get "active" for the first time = 4,500
Help 3 frontline consultants (new or existing) reach Certified promotion by July 31 = 9,000
Qualify for the free Scentsy Leadership cruise with your total of 16,500 points!!!
Another example:
Sell 150 PRV for each month May, June, and July = 1,000
Recruit 3 new frontline team members and get them Active and to Certified = 13,500
Attend SFR = 1,000
Qualify for the free Scentsy Leadership cruise with your total of 15,500 points!!
You can see that the BIGGEST points are awarded for your NEW recruits who join and reach their Certified promotion before the end of July, so the sooner you recruit them, the more likely to get those 4,500 points for EACH of them!!!
Scentsy Leadership Cruise
The Leadership retreat is usually only open to Scentsy Directors and above, but this is your chance to get in on the exclusive training and networking! No matter your current Scentsy title, you can earn our Scentsy Launch to Leadership incentive. So start earning 1 May, and then watch your progress on the Home page of your Workstation using the "Incentive Tracker" (available May 13). If you aren't a Scentsy consultant yet, hurry and join my Scentsy team so I can help you earn it!!
