Becoming a Scentsy Consultant – My Story
Before I started as a Scentsy consultant, I worked retail, which as many of you know, can demand really long hours, especially during holiday time, and you really don’t have any control over your schedule. Once I had children I didn’t want to go back to those awful retail hours and miss out on my kids’ school programs or other family events. I wanted to not worry about the holiday season but rather create memorable holidays with my family.
I stumbled across Scentsy and was blown away by the product from the moment I saw it. It’s an amazing product. I loved the safety benefits because I love my children and want to protect them. And my husband being a builder, he loved the non-damaging effects from the Scentsy candles because they don’t put out any smoke or soot. I immediately bought some for my family and I thought ” why not become a consultant ?”
Like I said before, my husband’s a home builder, so we purchased some Scentsy candles for welcome to your new home presents and I found people were liking them so much that soon after, I called the home office and signed up to be a Scentsy consultant myself. The amazing thing about being a Scentsy consultant for me, is that now I put our family events in my calendar first and then I work Scentsy around all the family stuff, instead of the other way around. My kids love the fact that I am at every one of their programs, sporting events, and dance competitions. I am in control of my schedule.
It’s fun to remember when I decided to work as a Scentsy consultant full time. We held a family meeting to discuss what I was wanting to do. During the meeting I told my family that I needed just one night per week to host a Scentsy party. Thursday nights were going to be my party night. By holding one party a week, I made the goal to sell $2,000 per month. If each weekly party generated $500 in sales, then I would meet the monthly sales awards and qualify for an extra 5% bonus. I also made the goal of finding 3 new recruits each month. When I made that change and actually set some real goals and focused on those goals my business really took off.
As a Scentsy consultant, my family now has a business that we can all participate in together. It’s been super rewarding to spend that time together as a family working on the Scentsy business. I believe I’m really teaching my children to work for their goals, and they are doing a fantastic job. They love everyone on my team and we have made some great friends and have a really good time.
My husband and I were so grateful to have Scentsy because with the building market struggling the way that it has, times have been very difficult. Our monthly income kept decreasing, but my Scentsy income was going up month after month. It was definitely a great thing to watch and be a part of!
Scentsy is an amazing opportunity. I look and see the increases that the company is having monthly and the increases we had last year in sales and recruits. This is definitely the place to be. Scentsy is just fantastic!
Yes I’m aware that the economy is not so hot right now. I have lots of friends who have really been affected by that. But what a blessing Scentsy has been for my family. We have something to keep us moving on. Scentsy is something that we have some control over so we don’t have to be a victim of the economy and what is going on. Scentsy has helped me so much. It’s taught me to manage my time a little better and has really brought me out of my shell as I hold my team meetings and do team prizes. I’ve always loved working with people and Scentsy allows me to do that in a fun, enjoyable way. Scentsy has trully enhanced my life, and I am so grateful.
