Why Are You Sabotaging Your Business?

23 May 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Every day on social media I see Scentsy consultants who are self-sabotaging their business. I don’t know if they’re afraid to succeed or if they genuinely don’t want to succeed.

For the purpose of this post, I am referring success in the sense of Scentsy consultants who say they want to build a business, to lead a team and reach top ranks.

These are also the same consultants who are struggling in their business but say they are trying. They say they’ve done everything they can and yet it’s still not coming together for them. I disagree. Remember there is no try, you either do it or you don’t. If they truly did everything they wouldn’t be struggling.

One person is not solely responsible for what all their team members do or don’t do. One person can’t make any team member sell or recruit if those team members don’t choose to. However, if that one person feels he or she has a team that is mainly comprised of personal or very part time users, then one person can get more team members.

Get More Team Members

Wouldn’t it be nice if it were as easy as going to the store to get more team members?  I’m not suggesting it is easy; but it is simple. With laser focus on sponsoring activities and monthly recruiting goals, one person can build and rebuild the team, regardless of inaction the rest of the existing team may be doing.

Selecting a Scentsy Sponsor

21 May 2017 By LA 3 Comments

Before you join Scentsy you need to select a sponsor; but before you select a sponsor, do your homework and choose wisely.

selecting a scentsy sponsorIt’s interesting to watch the ambulance chasing that occurs on Facebook and elsewhere online when someone says, “I’m thinking about joining Scentsy.”

Under No Obligation

Just because someone messages you first or happens to be someone you contacted first does not mean that you have to join that person’s team. Just because someone emailed and/or snail mailed you some information does not mean you are committed to joining with that person.

Take some time, do your due diligence and find the right sponsor for you.  I would strongly discourage you from looking for the best offer. It won’t take you any time at all to find offers for free this or that if you join this team or that team. I’m sure you can even find someone who will provide a way for you to join her team for free.

What’s Important to You

For the record, it’s against most direct selling company’s policies, Scentsy’s included, as well as the DSA Code of Conduct to offer any enticements to get people to join your team. That includes offer to pay for starter kits, extra products, perks or anything monetarily extra if you join their team. The exact language from the Standards is “Offering incentives to join:  You may not offer, or infer that you are offering, to pay for someone’s Starter Kit or other monetary benefits as an incentive to join your Scentsy Team.” [Read more…] about Selecting a Scentsy Sponsor

Direct Sales Lessons from Notre Dame

18 March 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

How May I Help You?

Whether or not you are a fan of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, everyone should add ‘Attend a Notre Dame Football game’ to their bucket list. It truly is an experience like no other. There are also some direct sales lessons that can be learned from a trip to Notre Dame.

First it’s important to understand a bit about the Notre Dame Usher program. I’ll give you examples of their outstanding customer service, then hopefully you can transfer this knowledge to your own direct sales business.

Notre Dame has almost 900 ushers who work each game.  They each know they are Ambassadors to the University.   They represent a one of a kind institution and must reflect that at all times.   One thing you will hear over and over is “Welcome to Notre Dame” “Welcome to Notre Dame” “Welcome to Notre Dame.”

Required vs. Prohibited Language

No substitute will do.  Ushers are required to welcome anyone who comes across their path. Saying nothing is as bad as just saying “Hi or Hello.”  It’s “Welcome to Notre Dame“.   The first time guests are pleasantly surprised and the return guests have come to expect it.

Also, another term you will hear repeatedly is “How may I help you?”   Not, “Do you need any help?” and not  “Let me know if you need any help?”  “Do you know where you’re going?‘ is totally unacceptable – it implies the guest is an imbecile. [Read more…] about Direct Sales Lessons from Notre Dame
