How To Keep Track of What You Sell

As business owners, we need to have systems in place so that we can be as organized as possible. When we have our homes and businesses in order, our thought process can easily flow in our mind allowing us to gain clarity and creativity. This system doesn’t have to be complicated. The use of notebooks can have a powerful effect that produces a sense of simplicity which can be duplicated for others to follow and practice it on a daily basis.

In this blog post, we will focus on the old-fashioned way of writing things down. There is power in using the paper and pen method we learned a long time ago. I have come to realize that using it can improve our memory and your vision becomes clear and realistic that enables us to think at higher levels. By practicing what we already know, you become accountable with your own actions. Whether you take action or not, you will not fail anyone else but yourself.

There are three tools that you need for this task:

Two notebooks
Planner

The first notebook is to build your 100 Customer List. You have heard before about writing down the names of 100 people you know. We panic when we hear this humongous number and deeply think how in the world are we going to come up with that number of people. What others fail to tell us is that this list is built over time and not in one sitting.

How is it built? We all start with family, friends, and co-workers. Once we have communicated with them, we need to get in the habit of asking for referrals. Who do they know? Ask for 3-4 phone numbers of people they know that may enjoy our products. Those friends know other friends that we may not know. This activity will help you build that list of 100 customers.

Do you want them to keep coming back to you? Do you want them to send you referrals? Then provide excellent customer service. Follow up with them with the 1-1-3 method or the 2-2-2 follow up method. Ask yourself, how can you make them feel important?

The second notebook is for record keeping, inventory tracker and keep up with who bought from you. If you enjoy technology, this system also works on-the-go and later on transfer those numbers and information in general to your virtual system you’re currently using.

What kind of information should you add to this notebook? To keep a record of what you’re selling you will write down what you have on hand. You will keep your inventory in order by writing the name of the product, how many you have sold, how much it cost, who bought it and how many the customer bought. When you keep these details in order, you will have clarity on where you’re going, what kind of adjustments you need to make to reach your intended goal.

Each day you make a sale, you will write it in your notebook. What did the customer buy? How many she bought? Did I collect her name, email and phone number? You will do this every time you sell a bundle each and every day. This routine will help you analyze what is working and what is not working so that you can make the necessary adjustments so that you can reap the rewards of your harvest season. At the end of the week, you will add up your daily totals to that the sum total can be transferred to the final step of this blog post.

The final tool to have is an agenda/planner. When you add your daily sales, you can move the full amount of the day to your agenda. For example, if you sold (2) $30 bundles on Monday, you will take your agenda and under Monday, you will jot down $60 on that day. You will do this process on a daily basis. Let’s say you were able to sell the same amount on Tuesday, you will record that final number for the day. To have an amazing week, you will need a total of $420 which is selling two sets a day. Track your sales daily so that you know where you stand.

A large number of people get discouraged because they don’t write things down so they don’t see their earnings. If it’s not written down, it is not visible. You will not be able to see your business evolve.

Now that you know how to keep track of your sales, have some control of your business, make this a daily habit. When you have everything in place and know exactly what you’re doing, teach others the simplicity of this system.

What is a Temptation Basket?

What is a temptation basket? How to Use it!

Take advantage of the holiday season to reach your goals and finish this year strong. This basket can be used year round and think about other holidays such as Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day where people tend to buy more because it is considered major holidays. This will help you exhibit your products and you will be utilizing products you already have in your inventory.

What is it about? To take advantage of what you already have. If you have limited-edition products, mystery bags, or products you have purchased from a flash-sale, these are the products you will add to your basket. You will add loose products in the basket. Meaning, products that are not on bundles or made into baskets already.

There are two ways you can do the bundle challenge:

Pre-make bundles to sell (pick three bundles you can carry around with you to show people you talk to and sell them on the spot)
Temptation basket: customers create their own bundles by choosing products from your temptation basket

When you talk to people and they see what you have on hand, and for some reason, they don’t like the scents you have in the bundle, this is where the temptation basket comes to play. You can tell the customer she can build her own bundle by picking items from your temptation basket. She can customize her own bundles with the items you already have in the basket. The temptation basket has a similar concept to impulse buying at the stores. It doesn’t matter how big or how small your inventory is, you can do this!

What really matters is to put the batteries on and get to work! Why are you working with this basket? To generate money and invest in your business by hosting a party. If you see what’s happening here, this challenge with the temptation basket can do a lot of things for you and your Scentsy business:

You will be in active status (if you get to sell $200 or more during this challenge, you can put in an order as a party under you. This will help you earn free products and one half-off item)
Higher prv
You might reach levels you never thought of before
Your commissions will be higher
You will possibly reach a new title (if you have a team and they partake on this challenge, you can’t imagine the possibilities)

What do we need? Our main character is our basket. If you have inventory at home that you haven’t sold yet, add these products to the basket. Our job is to sell the products that are in the basket. This is a great way to move products you may have sitting at home and haven’t been able to sell.

I hope this helps you this holiday season. Remember, the more you talk to people, the more you’re able to sell. Happy selling!

The Biggest Secret to Sales: Expectations vs Reality

The Biggest Secret to Sales: Expectations vs Reality

Do you know that this is a business? Just because it is direct sales doesn’t mean that it doesn’t count as a true business. You have to have control of what you have in your hands right now. You will need systems in place so that as a business owner you can stay organized and be able to see your rewards from hard work. There are so many Scentsy Directors that provide videos and files on YouTube that you can use to stay on top of your business. These tools are amazing because not only are they free to use but teaches you to manage your business and keep yourself organized.

One simple tool to use and keep at all times is a notebook to jot down your list of 100 customers. This 100 Bundle Challenge will help you fill the notebook with names that will help you build your customer list. What kind of information should you keep in this notebook? The top 3 basic information will be full name, email and phone number. If you provide excellent customer service, you can ask for their mailing address and send them a free gift such as a Scent Circle. You have to keep this notebook with you at all times. The simpler your system is the better.

The next tool to keep handy is another notebook to keep a record of what you have sold during the week. For example, what did you sell on Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday, etc? You will jot down the name of the product, the price of each product and who you sold it to. At the end of the day, you will add up what you have sold that day.

That end of the day total will be transferred to your Scentsy planner (or any planner you’re using) and this system is going to be used on a daily basis when you’re making a sale. This will give you clarity and control of your business.

Now that this challenge is out there for you to try, this system is perfect for any challenge you decide to partake in. I want you to see the magnitude of these notebooks and how they can help you to take control of your Scentsy business. How?

Do you know what an amazing week looks like? Insteading of aiming for $200 just to stay active, think BIG! Step out of your comfort zone and aim for $500 a month. Break this down to manageable chunks and break it down to weeks and then daily. For a $500 end of the month it will look like this: (500 a month = 125 a week = 17 a day) Seventeen dollars a day is a pack of 3 Scentsy bars. That is a bundle sold! Sometimes we get so caught up on the big number that we don’t even take the effort to break it down so the number can seem manageable. We need to leave that comfort zone and make things happen! But because you don’t break it down and don’t write things down, you don’t see it. You don’t realize what you’re doing. Start developing good habits and your business with awareness. When you realize what’s happening, things will start to look a lot better. This system will help you focus. Have a goal each week. How much do you want to sell this week? Go get it! Nobody is going to do it for you unless you take action!

Be aware that sometimes we don’t reach the goals we jot down, and that is okay. Don’t be so hard on yourself! In order to see your goals happening, you have to go out and talk to people. It doesn’t matter where you live, you can go to other places and talk to people.

So what’s the biggest secret to sales? Go out and talk to people!

Finally, at the end of the month, you can jot down what you have sold every week. For example, (These numbers are only examples, not real life numbers.)

Week 1: $125

Week 2: $100

Week 3: $50

Week 4: $150

Count the weeks from Sunday to Sunday. Also, you will discover how much you sold, how much your commissions will be, and how much you entered in orders. Then and only then, you will see how well you did during that particular month.

How to Party Without a Party

How to Party Without a Party

Hostesses & Cash on Hand

$30 Bundle Challenge

Work with ambassadors. The ambassadors (helpers) are the ones that are going to help you sell. For example, when you’re meeting with someone and she says, “I don’t have the money. I can’t right now. I can’t with the current situation.” Whatever she says, you are going to say: “I understand.”

Then you are going to say, “Let me gift it to you.” She’s going to look at you puzzled. You’re going to say, “It’s simple. All you have to do is sell 5-10 bundles to your friends, family, whomever you want and I will gift you one. (If they sell 5 you will gift her one bundle. If she sells 10, you will gift her 2 bundles). Make her gifts affordable to you!

So the first tip during this challenge was to tell everyone you’re doing a challenge and with their help, you can achieve it. It is really important to ask for help (referrals will come from this). People do not resist when we use these three words: help, please and thank you. We need to use them more often.

You can also tell your ambassadors that if they sell 10, you will gift them 2 bundles. You can also give them samples for them to try. There are many YouTube videos out there that teaches you how to make samples. It is super important that you get moving and you can make this happen.

If you find this hard to do, it is going to be hard! You have to start feeding your mind that it is possible and you can get it done. Do not say, “I’m going to try!” These words need to be cancelled right now! We have to speak abundance because those who say these words are giving space for excuses, to find justification, and will slowly step away from achieving it. Instead say, “I am going to make it happen!”

There is a huge problem within the direct sales industry where we tend to give out the products first and then expect payment later. That is not selling! You are losing your product, your money and basically you’re giving it away.

There are people out there that are willing to help you out, but it is up to you what kind of incentive you are giving them. It depends on you how you are moving them. How are you motivating them!

Everyone that has skin, it’s a customer!

How do you talk to strangers?

Everywhere you go, you need to open your mouth. The door to your business is your mouth. This way, you will be connecting to people.

Once you connect with them, you will say, “Do you use Scentsy?” Remember that not a lot of people know what Scentsy is. Expect for people to look at you a bit confused. What I suggest you have on hand is our Scentsy Fragrance Mist to carry with you everywhere you go. Study the reaction the person gives you because this will let you know if they know about Scentsy or not. Depending on their reaction you can say, “Do you want to try our newest product? Look, it’s our Fragrance Mist __________(explain what our fragrance mist is. Learning about our products is very important when giving information to customers that never heard of it. You can find this in the workstation and read the FAQ file. Get in the habit of researching and learning so that you can become knowledgeable about our products). During your conversation, you will eventually direct them to your challenge. If they say no, thank them for their time, and move on.

A lot of us get discouraged because we don’t have customers. All our Scentsy problems can be solved with volume. The amount of people we talk to on a daily basis. Talk to more people, talk about products and offer them our products.

“The more I offer what I sell, the more I sell what I have to offer.”

We have to keep offering what we have because our goal is to sell 100. That means (100) $30 Scentsy bundles.

How can you sell when you feel discouraged?

Motivation is an intrinsic characteristic. That means that it is inside of us. That’s why the first question of this challenge was, “Why are you doing this challenge? For what? How can these earnings help you this holiday season?”

Enthusiasm comes as a phase. That phase is action. Enthusiasm generates action and action generates enthusiasm.

When you generate money, you will be enthusiastic because you are seeing results happening before your eyes.

If you don’t take action, there won’t be enthusiasm.

If you let yourself fail because someone told you no, you’re wasting your time. What you need is willpower. Stop thinking that everyone has to say yes to you. Not everyone will say yes to what you have to offer. Have you said yes to everything people offer you?

If you already have inventory, create bundles with what you have. Show them off! If they don’t want anything you have pre-made, have them pick and choose what they want. If they don’t have the money to pay for the bundle at the moment, offer them payment installments during the current month only. Products will be given in the last payment installment.

You have to start strong as soon as the month begins. It is 25 bundles per week. If we break it down by day, it will be 3 bundles per day. You may

We have to talk to 10-15 people a week. That is the power of 3! The power of 3 consists of talking to 3 people a day.

We have become too sensitive. We don’t want to do things. We don’t want to become passionate about our business. We don’t want to work it. We don’t take advantage of the wonderful things this business has to offer. You should join our wave of blessings heading our way this holiday season. This is going to be an exceptional last quarter of the year!

You’re life is about to change!

100 Bundle Challenge

$30 Bundle Challenge

October, November & December

(The best trimester. Let’s sell BIG! This is going to explode!)

People are going to go crazy for your product! You’re going to see all the blessings coming your way. We’re going to break the record! We’ve been breaking it since March! We experienced it last month with the Nightmare Before Christmas launch!

We became active. We have reached greater levels in such a period of time.

Let’s work on bundles without the mystery bag concept.

Let’s sell 100 bundles to 100 people. If that goal is too big, let me lower it for you. Only 50 people buy 2 bundles from you. If that goal is too big, let me lower it for you. Only 30 people buy 3 bundles from you.

So much thinking about it will cause paralysis. Thinking that it’s too hard will stop you from achieving what you want. Thinking that it’s impossible, you will never see what is possible. Don’t think! Make it happen!

I invite you and your downline to do this! Stop talking negatively! Stop thinking negative! Stop analyzing it! What if this happens? What if I don’t make it? Stop making excuses. Stop creating excuses. Your current situation does not determine your outcome.

How would $1,500 impact your economy?

How would your Christmas be impacted by $1,500 in earnings?

Start thinking BIG!

Whether you want to remain where you are or be successful at this, it is up to you!

How would your history change if you open your mind and your heart to what God had prepared for you this day?

Decide to do something with your life. Don’t wait until you have a problem, an emergency shows up or feel like you’re up for it. Wake up! Dare to take this challenge!

Two questions you have to ask yourself:

For what you’re selling 100 bundles? What do you want to do with that money? If you are not clear enough about this, it won’t happen.
Once you have the goal and you commit to this challenge, you need to commit with your Sponsor. Send her a message that you are committed to the challenge. If she doesn’t follow up, you follow up with her and keep sending her the amount of bundles you have sold.

Once you have these two points all set in place, you have everything to win in your favor.

Every objection you find out there it’s because you believe it first before it happens. You created that scenario in your mind. Your self-talk can be powerful. It can bring positive or negative outcomes.

How are you going to do this?

Of course, you need to order products. You need to take action!

What do you add to the bundles? It doesn’t matter. Customers gotta choose.

How are you going to launch it? Talk to everyone you know!

Key question to ask to every person you meet: Do you think I can make it happen?

Because they are nice enough, they will tell you; “Of course!”

Then you will reply with this (believe it, they will be shocked): ”With your help, I know I can!”

What’s going to happen here is that they are going to look at you like, “What do you want me to do, buy you one?” You will then show them the bundles that you have.

You’re going to make bundles that you like and look nice.

Refer back to Annie Mazmanian YouTube videos
Check possible bundles in your website

You can tell her she can build her own bundle, so you will show her your inventory. (ex: temptation basket)

For this, you may need a notebook with you to have on hand and track what you have sold.

-go to businesses

-people working

-guaranteed money

When someone buys a bundle from you, remind them that you’re in a challenge by asking them:

-Do you remember that I told you I have a challenge? They will say yes. Challenge them to sell 4 bundles to their friends. If they find excuses or give you any objection, ask her for 4 phone numbers of her friends that would love your bundles and you, as a Consultant, will follow up on those calls so you take the pressure off of her.

There’s no special script for this. If you have a customer you haven’t talked to in a long time, a friend you haven’t seen in a long time; you will say something like this: “Hey, how are you? It’s a pleasure to reconnect with you. Let me tell you that right now I have a challenge to sell 100 bundles and I’m super excited. Do you think I can make it happen?” They will say, “Yes, you can.” You will reply, “With your help I know I can. Look, which one do you like? For example, I have this awesome _______________ bundle that has ____________. This bundle ____________ (share why it’s awesome).”

Put together bundles that you like, that looks amazing. So if you have a favorite bundle, sell more of that bundle. While you’re showing them to the person,tell them the price and you have two choices here:

Pre-make the bundles for them.
Have them choose their own products

If you decide to do option two, then a temptation basket will be a fantastic way to go to show them the inventory you already have and they get to pick and choose their own items.

A few things can happen here:

You are consistently ordering because you are running out of products from the temptation basket
You may have to place an order every week
You may need to have sample bundles on hand to show them how they may look like
Your prv will increase
Possibly offer a payment plan to those you know closely and are responsible

How to do the challenge without inventory?

Our mentality is different, but where there’s a will, there’s a way. It all depends how you work your business. Your energy transfers to other people. If you don’t think you can make the sale, it won’t happen. If you think you can make it happen, it will. Abundance is a conscious state of mind. It’s your choice!

How do you think an apple tree can give you oranges? If you want to make money, you need to invest, work your business, and give your time to it. It is a business! Any business requires investment. How do you think the gas station, the nail salon, the hair salon, and food joint started?

8 Things Nobody Told You About Happy Mail

Happy Mail is a mix of product samples and information that a Consultant ships to potential Customers/Hostess/Loyal Customers with items they haven’t tried yet. Happy Mail can be sent up to three months in hopes of getting sales. However, there’s seems to be an issue on this concept for most Direct Sales Consultants. If you want to know about what these issues are and learn how you can make it better, keep on reading 👓.

When planning to send Happy Mail, it needs to be carefully planned, be intentional, and most importantly, take action. It takes a bit of courage to build relationships with strangers and this is the part of the business it seems everyone is hesitant about.

Many of us rather stay in the all famous comfort zone and sell to family and friends, but the issue here is that it’s not a growing place.

Before sending Happy Mail, it is imperative to take a moment and reflect on the purpose of sending this packet. If you’re sending these packets to people who you see as dollar signs, you are doing a disservice to them. Why? Think about how we currently live our lives and how so many people are in need to feel important. Imagine each person you encounter with whether in person or online, carrying a sign around their neck that says, “Make Me Feel Important.” Then, your mindset should change, your strategies should change, and your actions should follow through.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ How would you like someone to treat you? ♥

ʜᴏᴡ ᴍᴀɴʏ ᴛɪᴍᴇꜱ ʜᴀᴠᴇ ʏᴏᴜ ꜱᴀɪᴅ “ɴᴏ” ᴛᴏ ꜱᴏᴍᴇᴛʜɪɴɢ ʏᴏᴜ’ʀᴇ ɴᴏᴛ ɪɴᴛᴇʀᴇꜱᴛᴇᴅ ɪɴ?

It is the same situation with others and this is reason enough to reach out to people on a daily basis. If you want to grow at an exponential rate in every area of your business, then you need to answer the “How can I make others feel important?” question.

These are some tips and ideas on how to make this journey better:

When you step out of your home, change the route to where you’re going. The best customers are right in your community. When you change your route not only will it fix your own boredom, but theirs as well. How? Sharing your Happy Mail may fix their boredom and have something do such as browsing your website and possibly shopping with you. Do you know how many people feel bored at this time and don’t know what to do with themselves? You can be the answer for their boredom.
Do you use the Uber transportation service? If you do, you can give a Happy Mail packet to the driver (I do this with the GrubHub drivers) and ask them if you can leave a few for their passengers.
Don’t compare yourself with others. Comparison is the thief of joy. You have been created to be unique. When I watched all the YouTube videos I needed to watch regarding Happy Mail online, I was both inspired and overwhelmed. I didn’t know where to begin and how I could possibly make it that pretty. I sure wanted to make things presentable because that’s how I like to do things. When you have so little to work with, it may seem impossible to think that other people may be interested in what you have to offer. Let me remind you that you need customers and they need your products not how beautiful and expensive it may look in order to gain a customer. Overtime, when your business picks up, then you can add a touch of your own personality to the packets. Have you had this thought before?
Work with what you have. I know you have heard this before a million times before, but I can’t stress this enough. I believe this is the main reason for comparison paralysis. When I started the Scentsy journey last year, I joined with a $15 promotion. All I had was testers and lots of flyers and rub & sniff stickers so I had to make it work. And I did! I didn’t wait until I had a large inventory. I didn’t wait until I had samples. I used what I had and made it work. When others see the simplicity of the business, they can think of how easy our business can be so they can be motivated to join our team. Once you start getting commissions, you can get items little by little. This is a process and it takes time. The wait despairs! And this is a terrible thing especially if you are not patient.

How can you get responses back after sending Happy Mail?

Here are extra tips and ideas to think about and do:

Are you sampling with a purpose?
Are you following up with your Happy Mail receiver? Have you tracked their packet? Do you know when they will be receiving it? Have you confirmed the packet arrival? Have you followed up with them on their product usage? Have you tailored to their needs? I’m sure you’re expecting them to contact you to provide all these details, but that’s not superb customer service. It is our duty to get the answers to these questions so that we know how to service them. I know deeply this is the reason why so many are disappointed about their return on investment regarding Happy Mail. Sample with a purpose means that you will follow up on their Happy Mail to somehow flip that relationship building into a sale whether it is small or a large one.
Because you don’t have what others have (comparison), you rather not work your business. This is a huge mistake especially when you are brand new to your business. All the questions that you have, there are answers for it. The key is to take action! When you first meet your Happy Mail person, make things minimal. Send them a letter with a bit of information about yourself and ask lots of questions not only about themselves, but products they have tried before, and what they would like to try. Many people will enjoy an old-fashioned handwritten note. You can simply mail them a brochure with a Scent Circle in a regular #10 envelope with one mailing stamp and you have gotten yourself an awesome Happy Mail to send. This is a simple Happy Mail system!
I always tend to Research on topics I have no clue about or want to try and don’t know where to start. It is easier to ask someone who have gone through the deep waters than taking the initiative and do it ourselves. I do have a research system that I use that have created a good habit in my business. The first thing I do is login into my workstation and click on the training tab. The second is to browse the Scentsy groups I am a member in to find out how others are doing in that specific areas so that my mind begins working on ideas of my own. The third is binge watch Scentsy videos on YouTube to enhance what I’m learning. I take Saturdays to binge watch YouTube. Finally, if I feel like I still don’t get it, then I reach out to my Sponsor.

The technology nowadays makes it easier for us to explore topics we need more knowledge of. The key here is to take the initiative to do your own research so that your brain begins creating those unique ideas of your own. The digital reality is shifting and brand communication must follow. While direct mail (Happy Mail/Snail Mail) listings, advertisements and push notifications are even usually used for selling tactics, they aren’t optimizing participation/selling rates. That’s the reason why it is important to understand and realize that if you are letting your customers come to you instead of following up with them, you are leaving money on the table.

Change the way you are doing business. Change the way you think about this business. If something is not working, change it. This is where brainstorming sessions come in handy.

How To Find New Customers and Hostesses On Social Media

So many people asked me how I find people for my business. One of the key ways to do so is to plan what you’re going to do strategically. What this means is that you need to find an activity that will give you the most returns. First, I decided to expand my Scentsy business outside of the United States by subscribing to Region 1 which includes North America (United States, Canada and Mexico). When we enter the business, we automatically do business in the United States, but this type of subscription will open the doors to expand your business to Canada and Mexico. Keeping this in mind, when you are searching for customers and/or hostesses, make sure you mention in your social media post, where do you do business so that others are aware that your business has expanded to these regions.

Second, when you plan for this type of post, I create my own posts using Canva because it allows you to show your personality through the images you create. If you need some sort of inspiration on how to create your own images for a particular reason, then I always search Pinterest which is my go to for any sort of inspiration search engine. Your ultimate goal is to stand out from everybody else that’s doing the same thing over and over. What kind of image should you make? Have you heard the Book a Party, Pick a Prize game? If you have, this has been around for so many years. If you haven’t heard about it, today is the day to learn something new.

Third, create your own Book a Party Pick a Prize image without using the word Party. Many people are already sick and tired of hearing the word party. I believe it is an overwhelming word not only for the customer or hostess, but also for the Consultant because it can hurt the potential of not only getting sales but also gaining potential customers.

The image above is an example of my August Book a Party, Pick a Prize image I made in Canva without using the word party. On my updated version, I numbered each school bus from 1-9 so that it will be easier for your audience to be able to pick a school bus number to reveal their prize. I use Instagram as my main go-to social media platform to gain potential game players and it seems to be the most active social media platform out there. When I post something like this, I just don’t post the image and let’s see what happens. It’s all about communication!

Honestly, any direct sales company is about communication. Along with this image, I will write something like this 👇

“Ok, people. We are going to play a game. It is optional, so if you don’t want to play that’s fine. But those who do play get a chance at some cool prizes. To play you must do what is on the school bus reveal that you pick. You get to pick once.”

If you have inventory, this is a great way to get rid of the excess you may have. But, if you don’t have inventory, no worries, you can use what you have. You will determine which free gift they will get but in order to get all the bookings you need, this is how I set up my pick a prize game. Make sure you write your options on a piece of paper so you don’t forget which number has what

Book a Show
Win a Prize (Scent Circle)
Book a Show
Book a Show
Win a Prize (Sample Pack)
Book a Show
Win a Prize (Scent Circle)
Book a Show
Book a Show

Another option can be that if their choice was “Win a Prize” and you have a temptation basket, they get to choose a prize from your gift basket. If their choice says “Book a Show” they must book a show. However, if they are hesitant about booking a show, share the benefits of hosting one. If they still withdraw, they don’t get a second chance and move on. Use customer service here: Always thank them for playing. For those who have to book a show, be sure to emphasize the Hostess Rewards so they see it as an opportunity and not an obligation.

Keep in mind that this requires for you to invest in your business by mailing their gift to the recipient. It is inexpensive to offer Scent Circles because the only investment will be the prize, an envelope and stamps. For those of you that have Region 1 Subscriptions, you may require to add 3 stamps if you are mailing to Canada and Mexico. What should you include in this mailing?

Scent Circle
Current Month Brochure
Stick a Rub and Sniff Sample to the current brochure
Make sure you label everything before mailing it out

Finally, when you reveal what’s in the number they picked, make sure you reveal it in a private message. Again, use your amazing customer service skills and say something like this 👇

“Hey, ________. Thank you for playing. You have picked number 5 on our fun game. Number 5 reveals that you will be receiving a Sample Pack in the mail!!! Congratulations!”

Make sure you collect their mailing information and get their goodies out the door as soon as you can.

When I create these images, I think about which holiday is approaching or special occasion is right around the corner. When I did the school bus, I thought about back to school so I made sure I create the image reflecting back to school time.

I hope this post will inspire you to create something fun for your followers on any social media platform. You can use this mainly on Facebook and Instagram but if you use another platform, go ahead and explore.

Word of advice: If you have the same people participating for 3 consecutive months and there’s no action in their part (no purchases or no bookings), I just make sure and communicate with them that although you are happy they are playing, you are only giving them a complimentary 3 months worth of participation on games since you are running a business, you are looking for new customers and hostesses to move your business forward. Remind them also that you love referrals if they know someone they want to bring to your business.

Let’s Talk About Scentsy Deluxe Diffusers

Our Deluxe Diffuser proves you can have it all with an understated yet stylish design and smart, ultrasonic technology for a multisensory experience of beauty, light, and fragrance. And like our Premium Diffuser, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty!

The Deluxe Diffuser is much simpler than our Premium Diffuser — its versatile design works with any décor or even blends into your space with its subdued style.

Sturdy construction and long-lasting fragrance minimize the fuss, while eight light settings — including rainbow! — add personalization and style. Great for busy families.

The large, 450-mL reservoir provides over a day of continuous fragrance when set on Low mode, quietly diffusing a fragrant mist into the air.

Sliding controls make it easy to adjust and gauge the settings. Just add water and your favorite Scentsy Oil to the reservoir, choose your light and mist settings, and enjoy all-natural fragrance in your space.

How To Stay Organized & Make Money With a Mobile Office

Finally set up my mobile office. It was looking sad before lol. Now I’m ready to take this everywhere I go.

It’s Money Monday! 💲
How can you make money on the spot? By carrying your mobile office everywhere you go. If you carry a few full size size products you in your mobile office, you get to sell them on the spot. Make sure you write that down in your notebook so that you keep track of the inventory sold. Use your planner to book any parties that present themselves during conversations.

How To Use Your Previous And Current Flyers

I try to use whatever I can to make sample packets for current and future customers, and Hostesses. I have done from mini to large sample packs and I have realized that simplicity goes a long way. However, being a member of many groups that teaches you different ways to create sample packs and combining it with some crafty ideas, I thought making pockets using the company’s flyer is a great way to not only use the current ones, but also, the previous ones.

I have read many times how others ask about doing something with items that are outdated. Over the years, while I was with other direct sales companies, I’ve learned to repurpose what you have. The only difference is using sticky notes to your advantage. There is nothing wrong with having a handwritten note. As a matter or fact, people truly enjoy a personalized message. You can write something like this:

“This catalog/flyer has expired. If you would like to receive our current one, please call or text me.”

The advantages of doing this is that they are coming to you to receive a new catalog/flyer. The moment you talk to them, you are collecting information to build up your customer list. And, the first thing you want to do is get rid of the old catalogs/flyers so that you no longer have them amd give room to the new items.

To create the pocket all you need is:

Scotch tape
Monthly flyers
A sample
Business card
Crinkle cutter or butter knife

Fold the flyer from the bottom up until you reach the center.

Tape both sides of the fold.

Add sample and business card.

You have created a sample pocket your customers are going to love.

(Take a look at the picture 👆 so that you can grasp the idea)

Although I have no idea how many I made because I was immersed on this mini project, I can say I filled up a “shoe box” bin 👇.

I hope you enjoy this simple project for your business. You can tailor it to your own needs.
