Starting a new Scentsy wickless business can be overwhelming.  Add a bowlful of acronyms and no wonder new consultants are lost and confused.  Hopefully this list of abbreviations and acronyms will help you better understand our lingo.  Some have further explanations and others are more self explanatory.

I am certain there are others that I may have missed.  Feel free to add to this list, and I will continue to do the same as we increase our Scentsy alphabet!

AFL: Active Front Line –A frontline consultant would include any consultants in the first level of a Consultant’s downline. These are the Consultants you personally recruit. To be Active means you have $150 or more PRV for the month. Everyone starts each month inactive.  So an AFL would be a consultant you personally recruit who has 150 PRV for a calendar month.

Consultants learn 30 points in PRV on all licensed products, such as Campus Collection and Scentsy Family Foundation Charitable Cause Warmers.

PWS: Personal Website – When you join Scentsy, you get a FREE three-month subscription to your own Personal Website (PWS), which will help you promote your business, collect online orders, announce online parties, and recruit new Consultants. You can maintain your PWS for a subscription fee of $10 per month after the first three months.

PWV: Personal Wholesale Volume – 75% of the point value of commissionable products that you sell. PRV x 75% = PWV.
