Mini Testers available April 1st

You asked for smaller testers, and we listened! Beginning April 1, Scentsy’s new line of Mini Testers will be available to order in full sets of all eighty 2010 Spring/Summer fragrances. They are small enough to carry with you anywhere and designed to ship easily for Basket Parties. In fact, each tester is about the size of a small lip gloss pot, and each full set of Mini Testers will come in its own clear, zippered carrying case – all for $25 ($30 CDN)! To order (on or after Thursday, April 1) just use product code MT-FULL. We know you’re going to love them.

CONVENTION:

I wanted to work with each of you in my downline to ensure all those who want to attend Convention have the opportunity to receive “early bird” pricing of $150, with the option to pay in monthly installments, before the 3/31/2010 deadline.
If you are a Director on my team, it is crucial for you to attend convention if you want to see your business grow. If you are sponsor, I would truly recommend going to convention. If you just started with Scentsy, you may make your own decision but Convention will CHANGE your BUSINESS!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask your sponsor or me.

BLOG:

Again, another quick note, I have been posting on the blog and very few are responding. We have over 120 people in our group and only 19 people are signed up for the blog. I have had chances for two giveaways and no one has received them. Shall I continue the blog? I really would like your feedback. I can focus my time on something else for each of you rather than the blog if you think it is not working. I really would love your feedback.

PRIZES:

This month I have not mentioned prizes, I have them written down and just noticed I have not passed them along.
I wanted to let you know the March prizes so if you were close to getting one, you still have several days to get there! Notice I have went down to $500 again, so if you are near $500 I would get those other orders to push you over, the new Scentsy pens are so cute.

$500 ~ Package of the New Scentsy pens
$1000 ~ Scentsy Bank Bag
$2000 ~ Join Brochures

High Sales ~ $10 Gift Certificate to Scentsy Success
Most Recruits (must have more than one) ~$10 Gift Certificate

Remember if you recruit someone, you receive a Scentsy t-shirt. Once your new recruit becomes active, they too will receive a Scentsy t-shirt. If your new recruit becomes active in the same month that she enrolled, you as her sponsor will receive a special prize for your efforts for helping them become active in the same month!

Recap of Monica's call last night.

Monica did an excellent job on the call last night. If you may have any questions, please feel free to post them on the blog so other consultants can see and help answer them.

Recap of Monica’s call:
Fair/Shows
Inventory is crucial. Make sure you have plenty of light bulbs. Rule of thumb is to always have at least 4 times of inventory for your entry free. Example: Your entry fee is $80 you will need $320 in product. Take your most popular Warmers (all), bars (favorites), car candles, and travel tins. You never go home with your entire product.

Before the show

Label all your warmers, top and bottom, and outside of the box. Label all bars, car candles, and travel tins. Have some sort of organization before you go to the show. Always practice setting up your display before your show. “Start Your Own Business” sign on Scentsy Success is a good way to advertise joining your team. If you can’t sell directly from your booth, have a lot of fliers, samples, and displays. People will want to know more. Have plenty of pens and paper for your drawing. Have your calendar marked with your open and closed dates.

Setting up

Make sure your inventory is on the table where people can see what you have. Use a decorated peg board for your bars, car candles, and travel tin display. Husband made a plug-in display to show her plug-ins. Be sure to have a drawing so you can receive customer information rather they buy something or not. I have a excel sheet that I put on the table asking for their name, phone number, address and email address. I have had several people fill that out. It is a good way to get their contact information too. Have your testers in case they want to order something you don’t have.
Always talk at your booth. Don’t sit and wait for the customer’s to come to you. Make sure you are saying hello to every person that walks by your booth. Put something Scentsy with your name on it in their hand. Have plenty of samples on the table with the name of the scent on the sample. Have mini catalogs so you are not giving out all your catalogs. (Available on Scentsy Success)
Always have a warmer or two going. Use a favorite smell. I would not suggest using your favorite. If you pick something out of the Favorites section you are guaranteed people to stop. After all they aren’t favorites for nothing.

Scent of the Month Club

Offer this at your parties and shows. Let everyone be a part of your club. They will feel special and think they are VIP. Not a lot of cost or time involved and can double your sales. Subscribe to the scent of the month on your workstation to get started.

Monica Jones- Speaker of tomorrow's call.

After our conference call last night I have had some suggestions, and I totally agree and feel comfortable with them. So as for our group weekly calls held every Tuesday evening, we are changing up the time line just a little bit. This call is for the entire group and potential recruits as well. So feel free to invite everyone.

Each week we will have a different topic, we will discuss what you all want to discuss for only the first 30 minutes. Then we will open the conversation to question/answer time. I hope this will keep you all calling in each week. I know it may get a little old listening to me each week, so with that said; I am looking to have guest speakers often so you don’t get bored with me. I know I know I am a little boring, didn’t think so until I started holding conference calls. Ha!

Our first speaker will be Monica Jones, Star Consultant; she will be discussing “How to have a successful Fair/Show” and her Scent of the month club. You will enjoy learning all the cool things she does. Monica started with Scentsy on December 8, 2008. She is an accountant at a local credit union in Wichita Falls; she is a proud mother of 2 boys and 1 girl. Her husband is a fire fighter here in Wichita Falls, TX. Monica loves to spend time with her family and she also shows wonderful leadership skills to her team.

BUY, HOST, JOIN!

Here are a couple of things to tie into my topic last night on the call. I hope this will help you in your business. You are what Scentsy is...

Scentsational Ideas....Buy

• Staple a small wax sample and your business card in a little bag to the brochure. When you’re giving them awayquickly it will give potential buyers the chance to see and SMELL Scentsy. Make a sensory impact to watch yoursales grow.

• Make your own specials! Use the colorful “Make Your Own Coupon” template from www.scentsysuccess.com to create your own offers to staple to the brochure to drive sales. For example...“Place your order before 0/0/00 (date) and I’ll give you a FREE Car Candle when I deliver!”
“Come and sample my testers before 0/0/00 (date) and receive 10% off your order”
There are a lot of reasons to BUY Scentsy. Give customers a reason to do it quickly to prevent procrastination and them losing your marketing materials. Give them a deadline!

• Add an invitation to the brochure! Include an upcoming Open House date and address so that Scentsy can be experienced
first hand. Prominently feature the day, time and location. Encourage her to bring a friend by offering a prize. This is a great, low-pressure way to extend a deadline for your customer to BUY!

• If Scentsy is really new in your area, consider using the brochure as your invitation. Ask invited guests to sign it, add their phone number and pass it to a friend. The last friend in the line can return it to you and every name signed and attending can win a fun, inexpensive prize or a discount! A great way to encourage guests to “share the scentsation!”

• Let the BUY brochure advertise your basket parties! Make sure you include a handful of brochures anytime your basket testers leave your possession. Give them to the basket hostess and add a simple note:
“SCENTSY IS HERE! Don’t miss it!
“I have the testers at my home until 0/0/00, Call me!”
“SCENTSY is in the break room! Accepting orders until Friday”
“Take a smell and pass these testers to the next desk!”

• Give a brochure to every hostess to take and show off when she hand-delivers her invitations for her event! Or even give her a few so she can leave one with guests who have scheduling conflicts and won’t be able to attend. She’ll be eager to generate excitement BEFORE the party even starts so she can maximize her rewards.

• Hand out a brochure to neighbors and friends to promote special events, holidays and sales. “Perfect for Mothers Day”. Make a flyer and hand it out. Offer free gift-wrapping and don’t forget to include the last date for guaranteed orders. Make the most of months that offer 10% savings, or even hold your OWN sale on inventory!

• Hand them out at parties to guests who have friends that might like Scentsy. Have them take one, sign it, add their phone number. Tell them anyone that gets a friend to place an order and return the brochure wins a prize or additional discount.

Scentsational Ideas....Host
• Staple a booking card and an offer to the brochure and leave several out at events, display locations or shows. Ideas for the offer could include: “Call me and fill in the date and time and receive a FREE Scent of the Month” “Ask me about hosting your own event and win a prize!”

• Attach a calendar (available at www.scentsysuccess.com in the FREE DOWNLOADS area). Highlight select dates that you are available for parties and leave it out at all of your occasions!

• Attach the brochure to a basket of goodies or product to display. Add a note and let everyone know they can take it home if they book TODAY!

• Bundle the brochure in a cute bag with a car candle, your business card and invitations. Carry a few with you everywhere you go and be READY for any opportunity that might come up. Be sure you have your calendar handy!

• Look at the “average” sizes of parties - $150, $250, $500... make a list of all of the FREE and Half-Price items that a hostess could potentially get if she hosted a similar party. Attach the list to the brochure to show when you speak with a potential hostess.

• Highlight “opportune” times to host on a calendar that you can attach to the brochure. For example, “Host these weeks for optimal Mother’s Day gift sales!”. “School will be out, we’ll have plenty of time this week”. “Guests can save 10% on my product this month!” and “I have a NEW catalog coming. Be FIRST to see it!”

• Once a hostess has been booked, have her sign her brochure and give it to a friend that might like to host.
If the friend books with you, offer the hostess a gift or additional discount.

Scentsational Ideas....Join

• Never be without a JOIN brochure in your possession! Include a short, four to five paragraph note that features YOUR story. Tell them what excited you and how you’re doing. Tell them what inspired YOU to Join.

• Add a JOIN brochure in any order bag of a customer that may have asked you about your business. Handwrite a simple note that tells them they can earn a little extra money selling something they love!

• Drop one off to a friend or neighbor that may be looking for extra money in the down economy. Outline the freedom, being your own boss, the control over hours and being able to focus as much or as little attention as
you need to as you care for a family or other work obligations.

• Highlight the benefits that come when they Join YOUR team. Tell them how you train, when you are available to help, when you hold your team meetings and calls. Outline the help that comes from Scentsy corporate and the support system that benefitted your business.

• Leave several anywhere you have a Scentsy display. As more and more people look for work, you’ll want to prominently display the Scentsy opportunity.

• Leave at least one with every basket party.

• Consider an offer of a small discount, a free gift, marketing tools, etc. that you create on a FREE DOWNLOAD coupon. Add a deadline to encourage people to call.

• Always attach an invitation to an upcoming training event that they can attend and see the excitement and support that come with a Scentsy business opportunity.
