NOW WHAT???
Who’s Who in ScentsyO Sponsor – the person you are signed up underO Upline – people between your Sponsor & your DirectorO Frontline – Someone you sponsored directly.O Downline – Anyone who you sponsored or anyone they
sponsor or that their recruits sponsor in the future. O Director – The person responsible for your Team (I am
responsible for the Team Aspire and you are a member of my Team).
O Group – Everyone in your Downline regardless of level or team.
O Team – Once you promote to Director your downline becomes your team. As new Directors promote in your Downline, their Downline will become their Teams.
O The difference between “group” and “team” is: Group is everyone in your downline. Team is everyone in your downline minus your Directors and their teams.
Important TermsO PRV= Personal Retail VolumeO GWV = Group Wholesale VolumeO TWV= Team Wholesale VolumeO PWV= Personal Wholesale VolumeO Sales Bonus – Any month you have
$2,000 or more in PRV you get a 5% bonus commission. That’s 30% on your PRV for that month!
What’s Your Goal?
Set Your Goals and Remind Yourself Every Single Day!
Recruit 1
person each
month!
Schedule at
least 1 party

Goal WorksheetO When setting your goals, it is important to recognize your strengths and
your weaknesses. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes. We all have things we wish we could do better. So one of your goals may be something you wish to improve on.
O IE- responding to your emails is very important to your business. If you are not timely in doing this, you may loose a party, sale, recruit or let a team member down. Try to set a “goal” that you will reply to all emails within 24 hours.

Print MaterialsO You may use the Scentsy Independent Consultant
logo and trademarks on any item that you print on your own printer without limitation.
O You may NOT use the Corporate logo on anything.O If you want to use an outside printer you can, but
you must first get the design approved by Scentsy and then the printer must complete the LIMITED PERMISSION TO REPRODUCE SCENTSY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY form available on your workstation.
O You can buy preapproved marketing materials from Scentsy Success. I watch the site regularly for sale and clearance items.

The Online PartyO Create their party right away regardless
of whether it is a Home or Basket Party.O Use the evite system so they can
market their party via email, Facebook, Twitter, etc.
O Boost sales by allowing them to get orders from people who can’t attend.
O Guests who order online will pay for their order and it will be shipped directly to them. They will pay for shipping at the time of order.
O Be sure to show the party on your workstation. You always want at least one or two parties showing up on your website. Look busy and you’ll be busy!
What do you bring to a party?
Give each Customer at your party- a Door Prize Slip, a Catalog, an Order Form, a specials flyer,
a pen and a Scent Ranking Sheet

Product Setup and Display
No two displays are ever the same for me. It depends on the size of the area, number of guests, etc. But I always…
O Call the hostess a few days ahead and ask how many are coming and if he/she has a table.
O Get there at least a half an hour before the show to set up.O Have my catalogs already “prepared” before I get there stuffed
with everything they’ll need to sample the scents and order.O Have at least one of every product to display.O Warm a strong scent that will show how great Scentsy is!O Spread testers throughout the room so they are easy to get toO Place Host and Recruit signs throughout the room.O Wear my Scentsy Recruit or Fundraiser button and my Scentsy
Diva shirtO Pass around a room spray and fragrance foam so they can try
them out. Before I did this, I hardly ever sold them!
The Presentation
KISS AND SHORT!!!
Be sure to cover Buy, Host, Join but… Long presentations not only bore
guests, but actually sometimes make them angry!
Happy guests are more likely to book a party
Potential recruits will see it doesn’t have to take a lot of time to make $$$
You will make more money per hour Less food…something sweet and
something salty to eat. Easier on the hostess and people will buy 40% more if there is less food to eat.
Payments
At some point during the presentation, be sure that guests know that you can take credit cards. This will often bump your sales significantly.
O CashO Credit Cards: gather ALL information on Order Form plus
the 3-digit code on the back of their card: VISA/Master Card/American Express/Discover. If they’re present have them sign the order form.
O Checks payable to you: Deposit right away & make sure there is a phone number on all checks! You may want to add a “return-check fee” to your price list in case you receive any returned checks (find out how much your bank charges you and then you can charge that amount to your customers if you have a problem)
What About Games?Whether or not you play games is entirely up to you. If you want to play…there are tons to choose from…
O The Scentsy Story GameO Door prizesO Balloon GameO Match the HostessO Word ScrambleO Purse GameO Or…make up your own
Get Those Bookings!Offered a party but no takers? Maybe a little extra “Booking Reward” will help them decide
O Additional Free Product – i.e. Plug-in, 3-pack, Solid perfume, whatever you like.
O Extra Half price item.O Hostess Never Pays Full Price Again.
i.e. Once you’re a hostess, you always get 10% off Scentsy from you!
O Ask them to book when they bring you their order at the party. You would be surprised at how many say yes!
After the PartyO Calculate Hostess Rewards based on product sales for the
orders on hand and give the amounts to the hostess so she can shop for her rewards while you clean up.
O Use the time while you’re cleaning up to chat about the opportunity and do your best to recruit. Let them know what you made on the party and they’ll see just how easy it is.
O If they don’t join, set a date for the next party instead.O Give the hostess a copy of the orders but be sure to take all
orders and money with you when you leave. If for any reason the hostess does not close the party, you can
still submit the party with what you have and fulfill guest orders. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen.
This is another reason it is so important to have contact information for each guest.
O Thank the hostess again!O All in all, it shouldn’t take more than a few hours start to
finish.
Close the Party
O With any luck your hostess will do this at the party. But if not, don’t let it go too long. Close all parties within 1 week. The guests want their Scentsy and if the Hostess takes too long to close, they’ll get anxious and you’ll lose your reputation.
O Submit parties to Scentsy as soon as you close.
O Scentsy MUST ship your order within 10 business days.
Things to Note…O A Party (Basket or Home), Fundraising or Fair and Show order
must be $150 or more to be entered as a party and qualify for free shipping and hostess rewards. Only after you have $150 in product entered will hostess rewards be calculated and displayed at the left.
O Sales Tax: Calculate sales tax based on where the order will be shipped.
O For order shipped directly to the customer, be sure to charge the customer shipping. 10% of the order with a minimum of $5.00. Add shipping first then sales tax.
O Review the order carefully while the guest is still there. You will avoid errors later when entering.
O Be you have contact information if there is a problem with their order.
O Email addresses are key to your success. If they have one, get it from them!
O Credit card amounts are held when you put the card information in the system not when the order is submitted.
Entering OrdersO Business Supply items can be added to a Party Order but not the
reverse.O The type of order you select in the system (i.e. Party, Basket, Fair,
etc.) is for your tracking purposes only. Whichever you choose, the entry system remains the same.
O If a customer, or a few customers, give you orders that total $150 or more, enter them together as a party and keep the rewards for yourself.
O If you must submit an Individual Order, be sure to charge the customer shipping. 10% of the order with a minimum of $5.00. Add shipping then sales tax.
O If you do not use the hostess rewards Scentsy will charge a $5.00 fee. At a minimum, order light bulbs as the half price item(s). You’ll avoid the fee and get something you’ll need for later.
O I ship all Party orders to myself whenever feasible so that I can include catalogs, specials, etc. in with the orders. It’s a little more work on my part but I get several parties booked after the customer receives their products. It’s well worth the effort.
Your Order’s Here!O When an Order is received- Take Inventory and make sure there are
no missing items, Check items for damage also. If something is missing or damaged contact Customer Service at (877) 855-0617.
O When you contact Customer Service make sure you include your name, your consultant id#, the party #, Guest # and item #...this will make it much faster for customer service to find your order and process your return.
O The Support Ticket system in your workstation is great. I prefer it because I then have a written record of my issue.
O Do not throw away a damaged item. Depending on the issue, Scentsy may send you a return shipping label.
O Scentsy does not replace items if a customer doesn’t like it. The item can be returned to Scentsy but either the consultant or the customer must pay for shipping. I have found it easier to just order what the customer wants and sell the item to someone else at a later date.
O Defective products will always be replaced and returned at no cost.
It’s in the Bag!O Label everything! You never know when someone
will pass the product on as a gift and you want that person to know who to contact to reorder.
O Put a catalog, host brochure, buy brochure and magnet or business card in every bag.
O If you’re offering a Booking Reward put something in the bag that tells them what it is.
O Put a note in the bag telling the guest how much the Hostess earned in Free and Half Price. This will lead to bookings after the event.
O Make your bags look pretty. A little extra effort and they’ll feel like they’re getting a present.
O Thank them for the order. A card or simple note on the order form goes a long way.
Your WebsiteO Write your story…it’s
important!O Be sure your contact
information is correctO Be sure all open parties
are displaying.O You control the layout.
Your Replicated Site is: The only authorized way you can operate your Scentsy
business on-line without an approved external website. The only way to allow customers to place an order and
pay for it without dealing personally with you. If only one extra $40 order is placed on your site per month, the site fee will be covered in the commissions earned.
The only way to have your name on the consultant locator on the Corporate Website www.scentsy.net
The only way for new consultants to sign up with you immediately. If you do not have a replicated site, you must have your recruits sign a paper Consultant Agreement and send it into the office for processing.
The only way to utilize some features of your consultant workstation, such as Evites and Event Management.
Editing Your Website
Your NewsletterO Scentsy sends the newsletter automatically the first Wednesday
of every month.O Add every email address you have to your Making Perfect
Scents Newsletter database. O Click on the Communication tab and then the Newsletter link at
left. O “Permission-based” newsletter, so before you add any emails,
you must be authorized to do so first. O Once you start building up a good customer base, your
customers will receive a very professional looking newsletter and will give the monthly product specials, what new things are happening, and if you want you can add your photo and message to personalize it.
O They can opt-out at any timeO Tracking results let you see who’s paying attention and what
interests them most. If they clicked on the host link they’re a prime candidate for a party. If they clicked on joining they might be your first recruit.
Scentsy Fundraising!
Fundraiser BasicsO Great way to build a large customer base very quickly!O Fundraisers are entered as a fundraiser party in your workstation.O Hostess rewards are calculated exactly the same as any other
party. O Divide large fundraisers into smaller parties. i.e. A 1,000 party
nets $150 in FREE and 4 half price items. The same fundraiser entered as two 500 parties gets the same $150 but 6 half price items!
O You give a percentage of your commission to the group or organization. You can give it all or just some. I give 20% unless they have over 2,000 then 25%.
O Scentsy offers fundraiser catalogs, order forms and envelopes. Or, you can use the current catalog and regular order forms. The fundraiser catalogs do NOT offer combine and save items. All items are individually priced.
O Since you don’t get paid until the 10th of the month following the month you submit the order I would suggest telling the organization that they will receive their payment on the 15th of the month.
O Take the cost of any business supplies you need out of the proceeds so you don’t lose money.
Special EventsO Use product you acquired from fundraisers and/or
bundling to sell at events. More profit in your pocket!
O Holiday Craft Fairs, Church Bazaars, Ladies Night, Customer Appreciation, Catalog Launch
O Look for events that won’t break your pocketbook to get started. Some of the best events I’ve ever done are either free or very little to participate.
O Bring anywhere from 5-6 times as many bars or scents on the go as you do warmers.
O Holiday products sell fantastic at fall/winter events!O You do not need your own Sales Tax ID. Scentsy
will provide you with their certificate for display.
Scent/Warmer Subscriptions
Each month Scentsy offers a new “Scent of the Month” and “Warmer of the Month” at 10% off. As consultants, we can purchase these as a subscription. Either subscription can be purchased by consultants 15 days prior to the first of the month it is featured. You can start or stop either subscription in any month. Subscriptions are delivered in the month prior to launch so you have plenty of time for presales. O The Scent or the Month - $35
O 1 Brick, 6 bars, 1 room spray, 1 party tester, 1 mini tester and 50 fliers.
O Scent/Warmer of the month - $60 O Includes everything above plus the warmer!
Both are well worth the money and best of all they are counted as PRV so you earn commission on them each month. A certified consultant is only paying a maximum of $45 for the Scent/Warmer subscription for product that totals $85!
