Scentsy – The Man-Friendly Direct Sales Company

5 July 2009 By LA Leave a Comment

candle menIt used to be that we typically thought of salesmen as just that – men. Most of the sales personnel for encyclopedias, vacuum cleaners, carpeting, insurance, car parts and other widgets were (and possibly still are) men.

Yet if you consider Direct Sales – home party plans and the like, a majority of those sales representatives are women. Sure, many direct sales companies have some male representatives and some are quite successful; but they’re still a minority. Direct sales is still viewed typically as a woman’s gig.

I can say with most certainty that the men who are currently successful with Scentsy were able to see past the gender stigma and see the bigger picture and the awesome potential. If direct sales companies are good investments for Warren Buffett and Donald Trump, it holds a great feature for any man.

Scentsy Wickless Candles Company is a prime example of a direct sales company for men. Here are three reasons why Scentsy is the perfect business opportunity for men, guys, dudes and fellas.

1. Men are More Comfortable Buying a Gift from Another Man

Men are more comfortable buying a gift for wife, girlfriend, mom or sister from another man. Let’s face it; most men weren’t born with the “shopping gene.” As much as we women would love it if the men in our lives were as great of gift givers as we are, genetics simply doesn’t allow that to be the case a majority of the time.
Characteristically direct selling women sell to other women – this leaves out half of the population as potential customers. Male sales consultants can capture that market.

Also, there’s no law prohibiting men from enjoying candles. Many men do, just some are in the closet about it. Another man endorsing that their office, den, house or apartment can smell like Baked Apple Pie or even Leather and it’s nothing to be ashamed of, can be another great selling point to the untapped customer base.

2. Do You Know Any Women?

There are worse things in life than being referred to as the Wax Man. There are plenty of women out there who like candles. There are also plenty out there who like home fragrances but due to allergies, asthma, small children or pets many no longer burn candles. You can solve their dilemma. Scentsy wickless candles are flameless, sootless, smokeless. The wax is melted with a 15- or 25-watt lightbulb. The women you come in contact with every day will be an easy sell.

I will never say that any product sells itself. That’s just not accurate. However Scentsy is an easy sell. Men, stop and think of all the women you encounter each day – if not at work, think of your wife, sister, girlfriend, mom and then all of their friends.

Do you do any social networking? Facebook? Twitter? LinkedIn? There is no shortage of potential customers. When women encounter a male candle consultant, the thought “There’s something to be said if he’s getting behind this company. I better check out what he has“ will enter their mind.

If you put two people in a room, both with Scentsy wax samples to hand out, one a man and one a woman, it’s almost guaranteed that the man will get more attention. I don’t need to get into the psychology behind it, but I can tell you that the Scentsy men in the company have a proven track record of success.

3. Scentsy is a Portable Business

Whether your job transfers you or need to move out of state to find employment, you can take Scentsy with you. Even if you’re not planning to move, you can take Scentsy with you every day as you drive to and from work. If your job keeps you on the road, what a better way to pass the time then to call people to tell them about Scentsy and then direct them to your website.

Men, if you’ve never seriously considered working with a direct sales company, I highly encourage you to give Scentsy a look. It’ll provide you the freedom to continue to work your regular job; or to give you something to do if you’re retired. Scentsy can fund the orthodontist, home repairs, college tuition, wedding expenses and aging parent(s) that may be staring you in the face. For more information about becoming a Wax Man, continue reviewing this site or contact me.

p.s. If you still think candle sales are a woman-thing. Get over it. You’re missing out on an awesome opportunity!

p.p.s Still not convinced? Want to talk to a successful Wax Man? Talk to Blayke, he’ll tell you the real deal.

Scentsy What Not to Do

17 June 2009 By LA Leave a Comment

scentsy buttonHaving 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:

  1. 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)
  2. When you sign up you are given a website/store.   Your web address will initially be https://la.scentsy.us (your consultant ID number at the end).   You will need to go into your back office and “name” your website, such as https://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)
  3. 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!

Flameless Candles Prevent Fires

13 February 2009 By LA Leave a Comment

The headlines are devastating: “Woman rushes from her home without blowing out candles; fire destroys home“, “Ailing man likely unable to flee burning house“, “Unattended candle started a fire in the garage.   Damage was estimated at $25,000” “Candle Fire caused $30,000 damage to home.”

More than 15,000 residential fires are caused each year by the careless or inappropriate use of candles. Further, according to the National Fire Protection Agency, candle fires account for 2.4% of all fires and result in 6% of total injuries from fires and 3% of all fatalities from fires.

The most startling statistic from National Fire Incident Reporting System is the fact that nearly 85% of the candle fire incidents were started because of consumer misuse of the product.   Fire injuries account for approximately one-third of all injuries related to candles reported.   The rest are basically from burns or lacerations.   These injuries are also increasing, although not as fast as actual candle usage is increasing.   Of the fire injuries, 55% result from “body part burned on flame or fire”.

Is that enough statistics for you?   The numbers may be just statistics to you, the reader; however these figures equate to death, destruction and devastation to the people involved.

According to the US Fire Administration, each year $390 million are lost due to home fires started by unattended or unsupervised candles.   Scentsy flameless candles just might prevent such fires.

What is a flameless candle?

It is a candle that contains no fire, no flame, no wick, no smoke, no soot and no lead because they are electric!   Candle warmers are specifically designed to melt flameless candle bars into a wax pool that throws the maximum amount of fragrance over the longest period of time.   Our electric warmers melt wax at a lower temperature, with a 25 watt light bulb so there isn’t the danger of burning children or pets.

With over 80 different scents and 40-some different styles of electric candle warmers, there’s something to fit everyone’s taste.   You can still enjoy the fragrance and light of a candle without the fire hazard!   See for yourself at www.IncomeWax.com
