Scentsy What Not to Do
Having a home business with Scentsy makes perfect scents (yuk yuk, sense!) The business opportunity offers much freedom in how you choose to run your business. We can sell at home parties, do basket parties, vendor events, set up displays, run fundraisers and even sell online. The freedom to choose is one of our great freedoms.
However there are a couple of areas that are strictly prohibited. Sometimes it’s easier for new people if they know what not to do, rather than to initially figure out all of the things they can do.
Avoid these three potentially career-killing actions and you’ll soar with Scentsy:
- eBay is a No-Way. Just don’t do it. Don’t sell on eBay, don’t try to advertise on eBay, and don’t get your sister, cousin, or friend to sell your inventory on eBay. Just stay away from eBay. Besides, when starting out, your commission with Scentsy isn’t high enough to cover the loss you’ll take selling for less than retail. Don’t forget you’ll also have listing, closing and PayPal fees to cover. EBay is a No-Way. (Policies and Procedures 6.4.4.2)
- When you sign up you are given a website/store. Your web address will initially be http://www.scentsy.com/505 (your consultant ID number at the end). You will need to go into your back office and “name” your website, such as http://www.Scentsy.com/LA Some people choose to use their names, or something to do with candles or aroma or scents or whatever you choose. This is the only opportunity you have to have a website using the word Scentsy in the URL. If you choose to set up an external website (restrictions apply) or if you merely want to purchase a URL as a redirect you must not have the word Scentsy in any part of the domain. Ex. www.scentsysue.com and www.myspace/scentsychick are both prohibited. You cannot have Scentsy in any part of a web address unless it’s your corporate provided replicated site www.scentsy.com/whatever. (6.4.1)
- Selling out of a retail establishment. If you or someone you know owns a salon or boutique you may not set up stock inventory there and sell Scentsy products out of the salon. However, a promotional display may be set up for the generation of leads or the collection of orders in conjunction with a Scent Event. (6.5.1)
There are a few others areas to avoid, but nothing that can’t be corrected if you overlooked the policy. It’s a good idea to thoroughly review your New Consultant Start Up Guide as well as ensure you have (and read) the most recent Policies and Procedures, which can be found in your back office under Business Builders.
Enjoy your Scentsy business, it truly is a Company of Destiny!

Business Lessons from Because of Winn-Dixie
If you have not seen the movie, “Because of Winn-Dixie” I highly recommend that you rent it soon. It’s a great family movie about a young girl who finds a dog when she visits Winn Dixie to do grocery shopping for her father, who is the pastor in the small town in which she lives. This movie deals with love, forgiveness, and the importance of friendship. Together, Opal and Winn Dixie befriend many lonely residents of the small Florida town, and find that their lives are enriched, in addition to improving the lives of the lonely people in this town. This movie involves examples of forgiveness, and concern for others. This is because both movies involve an animal helping a child become friends with many people in a small town.
Opal was tenacious when she wanted to keep the dog, Winn-Dixie. She faced much rejection and challenges, yet she refused to take No for an answer. Her father repeatedly said that she could not have a dog living in the trailer and the landlord also didn’t want the dog and said it had to go to the pound. This little ten-year-old girl knew the meaning of the phrase, “No means no for now, not no forever.” She believed in her quest so much that she wasn’t going to stop until she received the favorable response she was looking for.
Are you like Opal in your business? Or after a few people tell you No, do you retreat and give up? If you’re told no because xyz, do you look for a solution? Or do you withdraw and give up?
The neighborhood children thought Miss Grace Dump was a witch. They were afraid to approach her. Though Opal inadvertently landed on her property, she quickly realized Grace was not a witch and further took the time to get to know her. They became good friends. Otis was also an outcast with a troubled past. That didn’t stop Opal from seeing the man he is today. She listened to what he had to say and included him in aspects of her life.
What about you? Do you tend to prejudge people based on what you hear or are led to believe? If you find yourself thinking, “Oh, she wouldn’t be interested in (candles, jewelry, hosting a party, signing up, etc.)” then perhaps you’re not giving the “Otis’ and Graces” in your life an opportunity to share in something wonderful.
When Winn-Dixie ran away, Opal and her father looked all over for him. After a time, her father suggested that they stop looking. Again, Opal refused to take no for an answer. She was not going to give up her dog. Repeatedly, she proved that she was not a quitter.
When the going gets tough do you get going? Or do you allow the challenges and rejection to defeat you?
Rent the movie, make some popcorn and reflect on your own business. Because of Winn-Dixie is a feel-good movie that is sure to encourage.

Thinking of Taking a Break During the Summer?
Whatever you do, do not – repeat: do not take the summer off from your direct sales business. True things do tend to slow down a bit during summer months, but that is all the more reason to make sure you keep working your business. Otherwise you will have a non-existent paycheck during those months and your fall sales will not be set up to succeed.
Below are some summer suggestions from experienced direct sellers to help get you through the lean months.
Shelly Hill with Tupperware – “Here is something I am doing in June. I am holding a Summer BBQ and Pool Party and having 3 other DS Consultants come over. All 4 of us are providing the food and refreshments and inviting our local customer base to the party. We are making it a family event. To get the parents here for our demo party…we are having some face painting, swimming and crafts for the kids and have lined up some “folks” to help with that aka keeping the kids busy while we do our mini product demos. Each of us gets 20 minutes to do a demo but our tables will be out for the entire 3 hours.”
Susan Graves with Mia Bella – “Think about all the parades and festivals in the summer. It’s a great time to get out and hand out business cards, pens/pencils with your contact information.”
Catherine James with Jordan Essentials – “One of the things that I’m doing is participating in a JE “Multi-Hostess” Jordan Essentials party, with several JE reps getting together to do a “Bingo” party.”
Cindy Phillips with Sweets ‘n Gifts – “The absolutely one thing you cannot do is to take the summer off to be with your kids. So many moms seem to do that then wonder why they have no business in the fall. Schedule some time at least weekly if not daily that you will spend on business.
Robin Nessel with Thirty One – “Summer is also a great time to showcase your products wherever you go. Ex: TW – how many cookouts, family gatherings, neighborhood picnics, etc will you be at this summer? Great way to showcase your products at the same time as you are out having a great time. PC – same thing; health & beauty – a lot of products have natural sunscreens, skin protectors, etc; jewelry – great way to spruce up your shorts and tees; my company – great totes for beach, pool, kids camp, grocery store; keeping those cold/frozen items from melting on the way home, carrying them to/from the get-togethers. You don’t have to have a lot of parties in the summer to showcase your products and book up your fall.”
Laurie Ayers with Scentsy – “Brainstorm with your team members, especially those who are on the brink of “panic and quit” mode. Think outside of the box and open new veins where people have never previously heard of you. If you’re strictly an online marketer, consider doing some offline advertising and vice versa.”
Hopefully the above suggestions have given you something to think about. Direct sales is a business where you constantly need to plant seeds so that you will have a harvest later.
All the flowers of the future are in the seeds of today.
