Get Your Team Back!!!

I've listed the info from the Directors call this morning about reinstating purged consultants. A lot of times in the past, consultants were purged because the couldn't get a $150 order in just one month. For differing reasons they purged or cancelled their contracts. I'm suggesting that you contact these purged consultants and tell them that they can keep their Scentsy discount and contract if they follow the guidelines below to reinstate their accounts and never worry about meeting the 3 month sales quota again! The purged consultant will need to contact accountservices@scentsy.com to request a reinstatement.
On the Director Call they announced that they are preparing a FAQ Document about this issue but this is what I have learned so far:

1) Any consultant who was not canceled because of Compliance issues can be reinstated. It does not matter how long they have been canceled.
2) This is the new policy going forward. There is no deadline to get this “deal.”
3) They do not have to wait until September 1 but I would imagine that Account services is going to receive a lot of requests so it probably won’t be instantaneous.
4) They DO NOT have to place an order of $150 to be reinstated*
5) To remain a consultant, a person needs to place an order of ANY SIZE just once anytime between July – December.
6) To remain a consultant with a downline, they must place an order of $150 in one month every 3 months. If they don’t, they will lose their downline but remain a consultant.
7) If they have been canceled more than 6 months they can request a new sponsor.
8) If they have been canceled less than 6 months, they will be reinstated at their ending Title.
9) If they have been canceled more than 6 months, they will be reinstated at the title of Escential.
10) Basically, cancellations will only occur on January 1 and they will be based on sales from July – December. Anyone who has had any orders during that time will not be canceled.

*If they have a downline and this is their 3rd month without a $150 order, they WOULD have to place a $150 order before the end of the month to retain their downline. If they don’t, on September 1, they would not be canceled, but they would lose their downline.
They could get their downline back if they request it within 30 days and place the $150 order. All levels/generations of upline have to agree for the downline to be reinstated.
Please keep in mind that this is information from me, not an official Scentsy communication.

I think the information is accurate, but be sure to check this against the FAQ document that will be posted, hopefully today or tomorrow.

This may be a good time to stock up on your best sellers:)



There's never been a better time to sign up for Scentsy! Seriously!!!

4 Reasons why your contacts will want to sign up in August:

1. In addition to the full starter kit for Spring/Summer, they will also receive the new Fall/Winter testers and catalogs. Doubling their total catalogs and seasonal testers is a great bonus for the same price, $99 US, $119 CA.

2. They will get $1000 points towards the incentive trip to Punta Cana just for signing up. Just so you know this is an all-expenses-paid vacation to the luxurious Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in the Dominican Republic where Scentsy will SPOIL YOU ROTTEN! (no kidding)

3. New cancellation policy. Begining September 1, there is NO SALES QUOTA! Any PRV within a 6 month time period will keep their contract. (the current 3 mo. policy remains the same if you want to keep your downline.) This is great news for those that just want to buy Scentsy at a discount for themselves and maybe sell occasionally. The other great thing about this is, they may catch the Scentsy Bug and end up working their Scentsy as a business, (creating a leadership $ bonus for you).

4. Scentsy is creating a new sales opportunity. There will be a parent company and Scentsy will be a satellite company underneath this parent company. Next July at the Las Vegas Scentsy Convention Scentsy will announce the new satellite company and the new product line (it will have nothing to do with warmers and wax.) You will be able to keep your downline selling for both companies and any sales from both will go towards your total PRV. August sign-ups will have the advantage of getting in on this new business at the very beginning with all their training in from Scentsy. Meaning - they'll have 1 year of experience and a ground floor opportunity in a company with 7 years of consistent growth in a down economy. How can anyone say no to that???

Start telling your contacts these 4 reasons TODAY! August is already half over! Remember that if you don't tell them these 4 great reasons SOMEONE ELSE WILL.

I'd love to hear your successes for August! Feel free to post a comment on this blog:)

Coupon For Staples

A good tip for Scentsy consultants is to LABEL EVERYTHING!!! Especially your bars and the bottoms of your warmers. I find an easy way to make my own labels is to go to www.Avery.com and use their templates. I buy Avery labels or the generic form of Avery. I found a coupon for Staples that gives you 20% off one item. Use this to get your labels at a great price. You'll need to hurry though because it's only good today and tomorrow.

Personal Scentsy Website

Did you know that having a personal website can help you market yourself as a Scentsy consultant online. Even just a Scentsy blog can be beneficial to help you find new customers online. If you are looking into this option GoDaddy is a good place to search for and purchase your domain name. There are naming rules that apply when you do, such as; don't choose a name that has any similarity to Scentsy in it, ie. Scentsygirl or ilovescentsi. My team name Scent-Z-itis is actually out of compliance. I'm not sure why they've let me keep it, lol. They may ask me to change it someday.

Currently, GoDaddy is offering $1.00 New Domain Names with the code JILLIAN1. You can use it on .coms, .nets, .biz and more. I suggest that you purchase a .com because that is the most popular in searches.

I don't know how long they will offer domains for $1, it's a promotion they do every once in a while.

If you are considering starting a personal Scentsy website there is some reading you'll need to do in the policies and procedures to guide you. You may also want to take a class on internet marketing. I know that it can be VERY lucrative when it's done right.

The Amazing Scentsy Race

Update - this card will work in both the Canadian and US markets, so print it up and get it out there!!!


Are your summer sales in a slump? Here's a card to give them a bump!



No parties on the calendar? People don't want to commit? They don't want to clean, they don't know anyone, they don't have time, etc. Try this!

You need 5 people to commit to collecting $100 in orders in 10 days. This will total $500 in orders. You give each person who participates a prize. EVERYONE wins something...which is more than the "nothing" they'd earn by turning in $100 in orders. Prizes are as follows:

1. $40 FREE
2. $35 FREE
3. 6 pack of Scentsy Bars FREE
4. 1/2 price & 3 FREE Scent Circles
5. 1/2 price & 3 FREE Scent Circles

When you put the orders in as a $500 party, you'll have $75 in hostess credit and 4 1/2 price items. The prizes will cost you $20 out-of-pocket ($12.50 for the 6 pack of bars and $7.50 for a 6 pack of Scent Circles. Use 2 of your half-price items to order these.) Remember that there will be tax on the full value of your half-price items. Be sure to mention to your participants that they get free shipping but they will have to pay the tax on the full value of their prizes. (Scentsy doesn't charge tax on their free items but to be fair I plan on charging tax to all the participants regardless of which prize they get. In Utah the extra tax money will be about $5.13 and I plan on using that to offset the cost of my out-of-pocket expenses.

When they agree to participate, you need to gently enforce this commitment by saying "there are 5 people participating, so it's very important that you'll be able to commit to this challenge so everyone can receive a prize." Make sure you set a closing date.

Once you get people to participate the first time...they will look forward to the next time. You can modify this to suit your needs too...make it a $50 challenge for 10 people and tweak the benefits. Or a $100 challenge for 10 people! Do your first challenge NOW...so that come fall, when everyone is ready to do their holiday shopping, you can do it again;)

Click the link below to download your 4 x 6 postcard without my contact info. Use a photo editing program like Microsoft Paint or Vistaprint.com to add your contact info. You can also print out labels and add your contact info that way. Then
print it as a photo or print it as a post card with Vistaprint.com.

Amazing Scentsy Race Card Download

Here are 2 print deals that you'll need to take advantage of quickly to print your cards at a great price. vistaprint.com, 100 free standard postcards(5.47" x 4.21") just pay shipping and image download fee.

"Enliven the Senses"



Incentive warmer for June. Who will win it???

"Warm the Heart"


CONGRATULATIONS to Crystal Hewett and Richelle Dowler for winning the Incentive warmer for May!

Warmin' Up the Summer




Warmin' Up the Summer is an incentive program that is completely different from any other incentive that Scentsy has EVER done. Orville said that he wanted to inspire and motivate all the consultants ranking Escential to Director Q. These are the consultants that we wants to reward over the summer for increasing their business. To do that he is only offering prizes to these ranks for their summer sales. (Directors and above only win a prize if someone on their team wins a prize.) I personally love this incentive because it gives a nice even playing field for consultants who want to grow their business and win a prize without setting some kind of "World Sales Record".

It's incredibly easy to win this incentive. You are basically comparing your sales numbers for the current month to your April sales. You win this incentive by being one of the top 5,000 consultants increasing your sales growth above April's sales , (the word they use on the chart is CHANGE) Look at the chart above for details.

As of today Scent-Z-itis has 3 team members that are in the running to win:
Melissa Smith
Monica Cook
Tiffany Green

As of today their sales statistics fall within the 1-5000 consultants that will win a prize. To win, you only have to beat the 5000th position in ONE category.

Here are the numbers to beat today, June 18, 2011:
PRV -(personal retail volume) 513.10
Percent Change - (percent increase over April) 45.46%
Dollar Change - ($ difference between April & now) $5!!!

The numbers increase a little bit everyday. To keep an eye on them, log into your workstation and click on PERFORMANCE. Scroll down just a bit to see the incentive chart.

Bonus: Anyone who wins May, June and July also wins a $50 gift certificate to Scentsy Success!!!

FYI: May's numbers to beat were:
929.60 PRV, 175.66% Percent Change, $176.70 Dollar Change

GOOD LUCK!, and please leave a comment if you have any questions.

Bring Back My Bar Post Card


So here's what I did yesterday:

I made this 4x6 post card that you can print out as a photo at Walgreens or Target etc. Click this link to download the post card:

BringBackMyBarJuly2011

Before you print you can take this image and import it into a program like Paint or Gimp or any scrapbooking program that will let you modify an image. Enter your contact information on the bottom right corner then save and send it to print. Or you can print your own labels and stick them on. Address the back and use a post card stamp and mail them off to your customer list, past hostesses, neighbors, friends and family, etc. Or pass the out at parties, shows or fundraisers. (Remember this promotion only runs during July.)

Here's a really cool deal to print you post cards:

Click here to create an account on Kodak Gallery and you automatically get 50 Free 4×6 Prints! Plus, shipping is around $3.49. (The cost of shipping my vary depending on your location.)

As I said before, I did this yesterday and my order shows that it shipped today. Yay!

Create a Facebook Fan Page for your Scentsy Biz

Creating a Facebook Fan Page can be a big boost to your Scentsy business. Best thing of all is that it's a free web page that can help you find customers and keep the customers you have coming back. Take a look at my page on Facebook to see an example of what this training will help you accomplish: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Here-I-Glow/164336273615992 or just search for Here I Glow on Facebook.

First Step:

Create a fan page by clicking the link below. Facebook will walk you through the process.
http://www.facebook.com/help/?search=How+do+I+create+a+fan#!/pages/create.php

TIP: Keep in mind when you're naming your page, it's better to make your page name short and easy to remember. Don't use extra characters like hyphens. Example: Get A Scent, Here I Glow, I Love Wickless.
You can also use Scentsy in your page title IF you also add "Independent Scentsy Consultant" Example: Christine, Independent Scentsy Consultant.
Do NOT use just Scentsy or any thing that sounds like it. Scentsy will ask you to remove your page if you do. Example: Scentsy Girl, Scentz, Scent Si.



Step 2
Create your tabs to promote your Scentsy website

Go to Edit Info at the top of your page. Then apps on the left side. Add the app that says "Static FBML" Click "Go To App"

Type JOIN as the title in the first box.
The next box is the tricky part. Go through the following code thoroughly and everywhere you see XXX put your Scentsy URL name in it's place. example: https://XXX.scentsy.US - https://Christine.scentsy.US
(Canadian consultants, you'll need to change the .US to .CA and you will also need to change the $99 to $119.)

TIP: To quickly change the URL names use the Notepad application on your computer.
1. Click Start/Run, type in "notepad".
2. Copy/paste the code between START and STOP into Notepad.
3. From the EDIT menu, click REPLACE.
4. In FIND WHAT type in the snipet of code you want to modify.
5. In REPLACE WITH type in the change you want to make.
6. Click REPLACE ALL.

Example: FIND WHAT, XXX.scentsy.us - REPLACE WITH, Connie.scentsy.ca

Now copy and paste the following code between the START and STOP. (Do not include START or STOP)

Running Credit Cards

Another Update: Square has now dropped the 15 cent charge per swipe. This handy little device is a Scentsy business necessity. (I'm my opinion.)

Update: I found another CC company that offers special rates to Scentsy Consultants. Here is a list of fees she charges for comparison:

On a $100.00 transaction:
Let's say it's a rewards card and you're paying 2.30% = $2.30
Plus our .10% = 10 cents
Plus .15 cents per transaction = 15 cents
Total = $2.55 for the $100.00 charge.
+ ROAMpay will charge $9.95 per month for the ability to be mobile with your swiper.


As a Scentsy Consultant you can run credit cards through your workstation when you are processing an order. Scentsy will process your credit card payments free of charge for you which is a great benefit to your business. (Not all direct sales companies do this.)

If you are doing a fair or show or have customers that want to buy your "on hand" items and pay with a credit card, it can get a little tricky. Fairs and shows in particular usually need a credit card machine. I have never had one because they can be pricey to set up and maintain.

My husband recently found a Smart Phone application called Square. A friend of his in his office building uses this app and says it's great. I've now opened an account with Square and ordered a free credit card swiper that plugs into the ear phone jack on my Smart Phone. I recommend that you check into this company by going to their website squareup.com. You can open a free account and they will send you a free swiper which will make it possible for you to take credit cards without entering an order.

This service is currently only available in the US. (I think we should write in and request that they expand to Canada soon!)

Here is the list of fees they charge:

2.75% + 15¢ for swiped transactions

3.5% + 15¢ for keyed-in transactions

That's it! There are no activation, gateway, monthly, early termination, hidden fees or any additional costs to use Square. Every credit or debit card we accept (Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover) have the same flat rate. These fees are static and do not change depending on how much the transaction was for. As our fees are taken out of each transaction as they occur, there is no fee schedule. Square also does not require a contract upon signup and since we only charge per transaction, it doesn't cost you anything if you don't use it!

If you decide to try it out, write in and let us know how it's working for you.
