Top 3 Reasons Why Scentsy Makes Sense for Men

By Leave a Comment

direct selling for menIf you are of the mindset that selling candles, diffusers and oils is women’s work, think again! It is true that women make up the brunt of direct sellers but it’s definitely not gender exclusive.

Many men in direct sales are earning a substantial supplemental (or more) income.

Fellas – hear me out. Just hold up a minute with that “I’m not peddling any sissy girlie stuff” attitude. Consider why it’s such a viable option for manly men.

1. It Works With Your Existing Schedule

You’re already putting in 40+ hours at the office or on the site. You work hard to support your family or dig yourself out of financial struggles. Leaving one full time job to go work a second part time job is one of the last things you want to do; but you do what you gotta do, right?   With Scentsy you work the business when it’s convenient to you.  If your regular gig keeps you on the road commuting to and from work or in between appointments, that’s an opportune time to work in phone calls and make contacts. While you’re tuning into your favorite sporting game,  you can also multi-task by doing a little Internet Marketing to let your online community know what you’re offering.   Doesn’t that sound better than 14+ hour days working a second job?

2. Most Men Aren’t Natural Gift Givers

Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Sweetest Day (3rd Sat. in October, BTW) – you pick.   Many men dread the idea of [Read more…] about Top 3 Reasons Why Scentsy Makes Sense for Men

Follow Up Will Make or Break Your Business

By 2 Comments

feel the fear and do it anywayAbout eight years ago I bought some product from a vendor at a women’s expo. I have repurchased only a couple of times since then, since I stock up when I buy. The reason I made repurchases is because she calls me about twice a year.

She just left a voice mail message, “Hey Laurie, It’s …, calling from … checking in, seeing how you’re doing on your supply. If you’re ready for more give me a call for the current specials. My number is …. All right, talk to you soon, bye.”

It’s that simple. Whether I answered the phone or she left a voice mail, she had very little time invested in that call. She knew since I bought from her before, there was a chance I’d buy again.

Pick up the phone! Follow up with previous customers. If you have fear of the phone, feel the fear and do it anyway. Don’t have time? Make time. It’s a simple, easy tactic to get sales. I suspect she was working her way through a list, and will likely end her day with a number of new sales.

Start dialing, then let me know your results.

Too Sick to Party?

By 4 Comments

Direct Sales can be a great source of income if you’re too sick to be employed outside the home.

Too sick to workIf you are living with a disability, disorder, disease or caring for someone with such, you know how difficult it can be, if not impossible, to work outside the home. Qualifying for disability income can be a real challenge maneuvering through their extensive, exhausting, process.

Perhaps you previously considered direct sales, being an independent consultant representing a company that sells candles, purses, jewelry, food, kitchen items, etc., but know that you’re not feeling up to conducting home parties. If this describes you, please keep reading. I may have some information that will be helpful to you.

Most direct sales companies now allow you to sell using other platforms than just home parties. You’ll have to check with individual company policies, but most will let you sell online, one on one, at vendor events or conducting fundraisers. The direct sales industry affords consultants much flexibility when and how much you work. You’d be an independent business owner, so you’d work as much as you’re able or as much as you choose.

She Lost Money on That Vendor Event

By Leave a Comment

As I have discussed many times, vendor events can be worthwhile.   They can also be a huge waste of time and a vacuum for your hard earned money if you are not wise in selecting the right ones and then not optimizing your space once you get there.

I recently attended a vendor event as a customer. I am fairly certain the consultant lost her shirt by participating in this one.   What do you think?

  • It was a first time event. It was advertised mildly on Facebook and there were yard signs dotted around town.
  • It was $7 just to get in the door as a customer.
  • Vendors were charged $750.00 booth rental for this three day event.
  • The consultant had quite a bit of marketing collateral that she liberally handed out, at least $300 worth.
  • She also had a medium size amount of inventory (medium meaning not spectacular and not nearly enough for a show of this caliber, but at least a showing.   It wasn’t a totally pathetic display; I’ve seen worse.)   She had approximately $1,000 or more in inventory.
