Does Peppermint Oil Repel Mice

16 March 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Some say that using peppermint oil around your home can repel mice. Others say that is a myth and it doesn’t work.

I cannot say definitively one way or another if using peppermint oil around your home works to repel mice. But my personal opinion is that if there is a chance it works, I’m using it.

To be clear: I am not making any claim that peppermint oil, Scentsy or otherwise, can repel mice. Hear me out.

I have a phobia of mice. I don’t mean I don’t like them; or that they scare me. I mean on a scale of 1 – 10, ten being the worst, I have a mice phobia of about a 50.

I know cognitively that it is ridiculous. Yet, it is what it is and I sold a house because of a mouse. True story. I found out there was one in the house. I called my realtor friend to tell him I wanted to sell the house and I was dead serious. Eighteen hours later he brought a perspective buyer through and less than 24 hours after the sighting I agreed to the offer. THAT’S how much I am unable to cope with mice.

I also cannot share with you the research for and against whether or not peppermint oil or peppermint teabags repels mice because that would require me to see images and read about the rodents. I did however see in a cursory glance of DuckDuckGo search results that those articles that say it does not work, are listed on exterminator websites. So … take that for what it is worth.

You can do your own research to determine if peppermint oil can repel mice. If you choose to give it a try, I would also encourage you to give Scentsy Peppermint Essential Oil a try.

Does Door Advertising Really Work?

14 March 2017 By LA Leave a Comment

Does the practice of hanging catalogs on neighborhood doors to promote your direct sales business really work? Or is it just a waste of time and money?

One rule of thumb to keep in mind when you are trying different marketing techniques is whether or not you acted on a similar campaign.

For example, have you ever made a purchase off of any ad you saw on someone’s vehicle? (I have not).
Have you ever taken advantage of an offer that was hung on your door (I have not) or did it likely go straight into the trash or blow away in the wind or eventually get soggy with rain?
Do you often read and act upon fliers you find around town? (I do not).

Of course there are exceptions to every rule, but I would caution you to target your marketing to a particular segment (new moms, elderly, college kids, empty nesters, nail salons, doctors offices, etc.). Then relay your message to that market in a method they will respond to. [Read more…] about Does Door Advertising Really Work?

More on Selecting a Direct Sales Sponsor

Although, you run your own business, before start in direct sales there is another person you should think about when it comes to your success.

Your up line leader, or the person who recruits you that you’ll train under, is an extremely important person to your business. Because sponsors are so significant, you’ll want to choose wisely when enrolling in a direct sales business.

Here are five some more things to look for in a direct sales sponsor:

Handwritten Marketing is Unprofessional

7 March 2017 By LA 3 Comments

If you’re an independent direct sales consultant, you’re a business owner. Professionalism is a must if you want to succeed.

One of my favorite acronyms to remember in business is RYBLAB: Run Your Business Like a Business.

The only time handwriting is appropriate in business is a personal thank you note.

All other marketing should be typewritten using labels, ink stamps or not good but acceptable, typed up labels printed off the computer then carefully cut out and taped.
