Scentsy Party Games

31 July 2016 By LA 1 Comment

games to play at home scentsy partiesBelow you will find Scentsy consultant responses to the question, “What’s your go-to party game?”

  • Guess the scent is always the best for me! And I have a bunch of wax samples in bead bags or pack of candies to throw to the guest when they guess it. I just get them to yell it out, it gets the energy up in the room. Whoever has the most samples/candies at the end wins!
  • I number each pen and draw out a winner at the end, from orders placed. I am also using the Scentsy story game from the workstation, which is awesome with a big crowd.
  • Pass the buddy. Every time I say Scentsy during my presentation they pass the buddy to the right. Whoever has it at the end gets a prize.
  • The Scentsy story game.
  • Pass the Gift & Scentsy Story was a hit Friday night.
  • Give everyone a balloon, tell them the first to blow up the balloon and pop it wins! The relevance is to get them excited and the energy up in the room.
  • I give them all a marble, chip, or playing card. Select two prohibited words. One is the host’s name and the other is a hard word to not say like “one” e.g which ONE do you like? Or this ONE is nice. Every time someone hears the prohibited words you take their card (or one if they have a few). Person at the end of the party with most wins. This is also fun and helps them pay attention to what is being said.
  • What’s in your bag game? They get points for every item that is on the list that they have in their bag. Winner is the person with the most points. Items could be common purse items and tools, baby items, snacks, clothes pin, bobby pins, flashlight, gum, coupon, business card, make it as easy or obscure as you want.
  • I often play the game where I have everyone write the word Scentsy and make as many words as they can in 3 minutes.

There are even more game ideas in your workstation. Type in the word GAMES in the search bar to find them.

Party On!

Christmas in July

22 July 2013 By LA Leave a Comment

Christmas Planning in July

Whenever you hear people mention Christmas in July, they’re frequently referring to having a big sale in the summer to buy or sell some Christmas items at a great price. It’s hard for people to think that far ahead; let alone fork over money even if it is a good bargain. It’s vacation season and close to back to school time.

Instead of thinking of sales in July, think of planning in July.christmas in july

If you haven’t already done so, now is the time as a direct seller you should be setting up your Christmas season.

  • Are there vendor events you need to schedule? Sometimes those book a year in advance but there still may be some you can get into.
  • Will you be advertising in a gift giving guide?
  • Are you going to host a customer appreciation event or special offer?
  • Plan a cash and carry event and offer festive snacks and free gift wrapping.
  • Fill your calendar. Hosts like free and half off items too to help with their gift giving.
  • Heavily recruit new team members who need money for gifts or who want to buy from themselves.

Direct sales is a business that you have to balance always looking and planning forward and not sacrificing the current month.   It’s also a business that is sometimes a bit slower in the summer so it’s the perfect time to set up your holiday season.

Christmas in July – tis the season!

See you at the top!

Reverse Home Party

7 July 2013 By LA 1 Comment

home party snacksIt is true that as a direct sales consultant, if you can get home party bookings, that is still the very best way to get a large amount of sales in one location in a short amount of time. It’s also true that in 2013 because of changing times, busy schedules and technology finding hosts who want to invite family and friends to their home is more difficult. More difficult doesn’t mean impossible.

Overcoming objections often begins with offering a solution to the potential host before she makes the objection.  Some of the most common reasons people give for not wanting to host a home party include:  “I don’t want to clean my house; my pet would be in the way;  and I don’t have enough space.”

Those are all valid concerns. Fortunately you can suggest a solution to those challenges. Offer a Reverse Home Party. When talking to a potential host tell her that you’ll have the party at your house. You’ll do the cleaning, provide some chips and beverages and you have plenty of room for everyone.  (An easy rule of thumb for refreshments is one sweet, one salty and something to drink. A bowl of pretzels, a bowl of m&ms and water or lemonade would fill that bill.) The host will still get all the benefits of hosting a party in her own home, without all the hassle.

It’s also win/win for the consultant in that you don’t have to lug your entire inventory and continually set up and tear down your display.

Give this approach a try to see if it doesn’t increase your bookings!

Direct Sales Lessons Learned from Monsters University

1 July 2013 By LA 1 Comment

Did anyone see the movie Monsters University? It’s a fun animated PIXAR movie. They always entertain. There’s a great quote in there as the OKs are going into at frat party: “We forgot to bring a hostess gift. We need some scented candles.”

It’s sad to me that the practice of never going to someone’s shindig empty handed is a dying art. I try to teach my own kiddos that it’s just rude to show up empty handed.   Unfortunately 9 times out of 10 they return with their bag of chips or whatever they brought, feeling silly because no one else brought anything and they didn’t open it.

No matter which company you represent, chances are you have something in your product line that would be perfect to bring as little somethin’/somthin’ whenever you’re invited to attend an event. Why not make it your mission to bring back this respectful and thoughtful practice?   Teach your downline and hosts the same thing.
