Integrity of Scentsy

2 September 2016 By LA Leave a Comment

Scentsy is a company of integrity – else I would not have stuck around 10 years.

If you want to know why I say that, I can go on and on with examples. For now though, I will leave you with this quote from our CEO, Orville Thompson:

“We’ll never be perfect; but we’ll always be responsible.” – Orville Thompson, Scentsy CEO

That Orville Thompson quote above isn’t just a fancy sound byte or lip service. Since 2006, when I joined Scentsy, I’ve seen them have the consultants’ backs, over and over again. He and Heidi are genuine and authentic. They love this company; and they love the consultants and want us to succeed.

If you’re looking to earn extra income, I highly encourage you to investigate Scentsy. I can’t imagine representing any other direct sales company. If you’re looking for a sponsor to help you with your new venture, I highly encourage you to check out Laurie Ayers (that’s me!)

Hope to hear from you soon.

Not Hitting Your Goals?

18 August 2016 By LA Leave a Comment

I participated in a Jeff Goins webinar this week about building your audience. One of the things he said that stuck with me is:

If you’re not hitting your goals, there’s usually 1 of 3 things going on:

Your model is broken.
You know what to do but haven’t taken action.
You have taken action but now you’re stuck and don’t know what to do now.

If you fall into the above, then you need a guide to help mentor you through.

I keep thinking about how this relates to direct sales independent consultants who haven’t been hitting their goals. There are usually one of three things going on:

1. Your model is broken.

How to Keep the Convention Motivation Going

3 August 2016 By LA Leave a Comment

It’s summertime. That means many direct sales companies just held or will soon be holding their annual convention. Most who attend such gatherings will tell how your inspiring, exciting, motivating and energizing the experience is. Most will come home on fire – ready to take their direct selling business to a new level.

However just like any post-vacation or other post-positive-experience event, once you get back to the real world, surrounded by real life and an abundance of personalities, it’s not long before you lose that honeymoon feeling.

Is the Honeymoon over?

Just like any relationship or marriage, the honeymoon phase doesn’t last. Though there are some steps you can take to keep your positive momentum going, long after you’ve finished laundry, uploaded your trip pics and put the suitcase away.

Consider why your convention was so inspiring. I’m sure you can come up with a number of reasons and the number one contributor was because you were inundated with positive, energetic people who share the same goal. Attitudes are contagious. If you’re in a convention center with thousands of pumped up consultants, how can you not catch the fire? [Read more…] about How to Keep the Convention Motivation Going

Essential Oils Lifehack

No diffuser? Use this essential oils lifehack.

You may have known that Scentsy carries a beautiful line of quality diffusers to scent a room using cold-mist with variety of our essential and natural oils.

What you may not have known is that even if you don’t have one of our diffusers (yet) you can still enjoy our fragrant oils.

Use a wooden clothespin to make an air conditioning air freshener. Put a few drops of oil on it. You can clip it to the vent in your vehicle or to the A/C vent in your home. No electricity or water needed.

You may only be able to smell the scent for a day, but it’s certainly easy enough to rescent it.

What you need:

Wooden clothespins – depending on how many you want to make.
Your favorite essential or natural oils. See all the scents here.

That’s it. Easy pease. If you want to involve the kiddos they may want to decorate the clothespins. If you end up using a pompom or fabric or little piece of cork on yours, then the scent may last longer than a day.

BONUS: You can buy some cedar pieces or balls in the laundry or vacuum section of your favorite store. Fruit flies don’t like cedar. You can stash them on window sills or in the kitchen or anywhere really. Here’s the nifty part, whether or not you have fruit flies, you can scent the cedar with essential oils too and wherever you put them will also smell delightful.

If you’re not feeling the love for using the oils, we have plenty of other options other than wax and oils to scent you space. Take a lookie see here.
