What I Think
Scentsy is a large direct sales company with a lot of Scentsy Consultant with legitimate high quality products. I think Scentsy is a great company that can be very profitable to someone seeking a business opportunity and the cost is extremely low for what you get out of it. Scentsy can be for someone what they want out of it.
If you are looking to just make a little extra money that is what you will get out of Scentsy. You can have consultants in your downline from Canada, Ireland, United States, Germany and Ireland and you are also able to sell product there. If you are looking to bring in major income and are willing to put time and effort into it you will be extremely satisfied with your business.
However on the flip side with the internet and online shopping in today’s world, if you are wanting to really get the ball rolling you need to be start networking, relying on home parties, family and friends is not enough you need to get out there and be involved in Social Media and online marketing approaches.
I think selling Scentsy is exactly what they say when you begin looking into selling! You will get out of Scentsy what you are willing to put in to it a discount on the product that you love, a few extra $100 a month, extra money to pay off some bills or an actual business that you rely on to pay your bill.
I decided to write an honest review on what I do, I was like many people out there and wanted to know so much more before I signed up. I know how direct sales can be and people will tell you whatever they have to so you will sign up. This is an honest review about what I have done with Scentsy so far. When I first signed up to sell Scentsy my outlook was at least I will get a discount on a product I love. That quickly formed into standard direct sales approaches (parties, friends and family) and social networking.
To be completely honest with you I have been extremely surprised on how easy it has been to sell Scentsy. My 1st order paid for my $99 starter kit, everyone I worked with, friends and family all bought something it was a huge hit. By me saying that I do not mean you do not have to work hard I just mean people love the products already and if they loose their consultant they will search out another.
Scentsy was right for me so if you have questions and you want an honest answer about my experiences with Scentsy let me know. I will not tell you things that are not true just to get you to sign up I want you to be happy too and I do realize it is not for everyone.
