My Story
Hi, I'm Liz. I came across Scentsy in 2005 when my sister in law gave me a warmer for Christmas. I was drawn to the safe candle aspect because I love fragrance and the ambiance of candles but not the ugly soot, open flame hazard and pollutants from burning wax. Scentsy is different. The wax is warmed, not burned so there is no flame, no wick, no soot - no kidding (and there's so much more than wax and warmers now.)
Back then, I was working way too many hours in a corporate job, longing to be able to stay home with my kids. I joined because I saw huge potential in Scentsy. I thought 'What do I have to lose? I'll just see if this works for me'. I joined to make a little extra money (I wanted to be able to afford name brand groceries. I'm serious, I just wanted to not feel SO strapped.) A year and a half later, that corporate job laid me off. I dusted myself off and decided then to make Scentsy work; rather than find another job outside the home. I am SO GLAD I did!
That feels like a million years ago now (ok, it has only been 17 but the time has flown by). I have watched Scentsy grow from a tiny company to the billion dollar, international, direct sales leader that it is today. I feel privileged to have seen it with my own eyes, to have felt and been a part of its incredible growth. It has come a long way and I am truly proud to be a Scentsy Consultant today. It has changed my life; not just because of the income it provides but because of the community and friendships I have made.
I learned how to sell Scentsy the way I wanted to. There are so many ways: parties, fundraisers, events, word of mouth, through social media...I like online sales the best. Today I'm at the top of the company with a huge sense of accomplishment!
I feel valued by this company and by those I lead and mentor. I am an independent contractor with a the ability to sell what this imaginative, talented, legitimately fun company makes.
They do all the designing, research and development, production, warehousing, shipping, customer service, and even process credit cards and create beautiful marketing images for me. I just share what I love about the products and it sells itself.
I never would have thought this would be my life but pinch me - this is my happy place!
