Describe your business:
Scentsy provides a quality alternative to candles. They use wickless warmers to warm wax to scent your home. We also offer a variety of body care products, buddies, and scent on the go options. “The Scentsy Mission is to bring value to the world by providing an industry-leading, family-friendly business opportunity selling creative, artistic, high quality products that Warm the Heart, Enliven the Senses, and Inspire the Soul.
Where does your inspiration for this business come from?
My inspiration for join this company was my children. I honestly have always been terrified of leaving an open flame. To tell the truth I’ve been known to blow out a candle in the kitchen when I went down to the laundry room, only to re-light it again when I came back to the kitchen 20 minutes later.
With Scentsy’s warmers I have no problem leaving them on all day with my young children around, and even have a warmer in each of their rooms. I Love the variety and the quality of the warmers, and the fact that Scentsy stands by their product with a lifetime warranty.
What has been your greatest achievement thus far?
Honestly, my greatest achievement has been watching the girls on my team succeed and achieve the goals that they have set for themselves. And I love that my kids are just as excited as me every time the “box truck” (AKA UPS truck) arrives.
What’s your advice for someone who is just starting out?
My advice to anyone who is thinking of joining any direct sales business is to RESEARCH! Research the product, who is selling it already, the competition, the compensation plan and party rewards. Find a consultant who will take the time to answer your questions and who is willing to help you on your journey. And don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions – how much do YOU make on average, what you need to do to promote, if there are any upcoming bonuses for joining, what are the downsides of the business. But above all, have fun and enjoy your new adventure!
