Tips For Recruiting

Why Recruit?

There is a lot of potential for you if you can learn to recruit. There are a lot of points related to bringing new people on, mentoring them to earn our Scentsational Start award, and because you’re growing your team, you’re also likely to promote yourself. If you can to learn to recruit, you also increase the likelihood of earning some level of the Scentsy Incentives.

I want to teach you what took me from being a Certified Consultant to a SuperStar Consultant, earned me a trip to the Dominican Republic, free registration for Scentsy Family Reunion in Anaheim, California, an all-expense paid trip on a 7 day Mediterranean Cruise, countless awards and even 6 months as a Director. These things happen when you start to build a team. So please hear me out on this process because it really does work. There are lot of really basic things that go along with recruiting.

Choose one to three of the daily post ideas (don't forget to include a photo) and then complete the daily activity.

Challenge to you: Type out this simple question and send it to 10 friends.

“Hey, ____! I have a quick question for you. Have you ever considered joining Scentsy?”

I know that approaching people can be scary sometimes. For me, it’s a fear of rejection. Some people worry that they are bothering you. But let me ask you this. Does the cashier at McDonald’s worry about what you’ll say when they say “Do you want fries with that?” Nope. I guarantee you they, don’t. It’s a simple question. It’s us that tie weight and meaning to the simple question. Whatever people respond back with, it has nothing to do with YOU per se. Suppose they say “yes, they’ve thought about it.”

The question is simple and it makes it easy for you. And if it’s easy for you, then you’re more likely to do it. Right?! It’s also simple and it’s not going to overwhelm them. The key in offering the opportunity to people is that you keep it simple. Nobody wants to do extra work. Nobody needs a HARD job! They want to join Scentsy & get products for free. They want to have fun. They want it to be simple. And Scentsy can be simple. You and I both know that whatever you put in to the business is what you get out of the business. This isn’t the time to go over all that stuff. I used to get soooo excited about the opportunity (and parties) that I would word vomit all over them… you know, like tell EVERY BIT OF INFO that I could ever think of about Scentsy so they could know EVERYTHING!!! Ugggghhhh! Not at all helpful like I thought it was. That is just overwhelming!! The time to talk about all the details is when they start asking about that minutia. The things to talk about now are that it’s fun, simple and how it can help THEIR life.

Now, why did I ask you to send that question to 10 people? Because here’s the thing… statistically, for every 8 people you ask, you’re going to have someone who’s interested. For every 8-10 people who are interested, 1 will actually join you. So it’s a sheer numbers game. When I first started, I only asked people who I thought might be good at this. What I learned over time is: who am I to judge & what makes me think I know what would be good for someone’s life? What I consider “successful” in Scentsy for me is something completely different than what someone else would consider a blessing for their family!! Not everyone needs to make a career out of the Scentsy opportunity. Why can’t Suzie Q. Get money back on her Scentsy purchases and that be PHENOMENAL?!

Now, if you could ask 10 people a day for a week that would be 70 people. If 1 out of every 8 was interested & 1 out every 8 of the interested ones joined, you would get 1 recruit after asking at least 64 people. So if you’re not asking ANYONE, or only the host of a party, it limits the likelihood (the percent chance of a YES) of getting a join.

Now, in no way would I want you to just walk up to a random stranger or your friend from grade school who you hadn’t spoken to in a decade and ask them… that would make you a Spammy Pammy! Don’t be that chick! But amongst your customers or any people that know, like and trust you… ask away! If you’re not asking, no one is going to join.

Now when the 10 people who you ask that simple question start responding, you have to respond from their point of view. Right now, it’d be very easy to try and recruit someone and say for example: I love the Sisterhood, Scentsy has changed my life, I’m a better person, I’ve grown so much mentally and emotionally since I’ve joined Scentsy. They aren’t there yet. That’s not where they are in their Scentsy Journey. You need to be recruiting from where they are in their journey. Think back to when YOU started. Imagine having the conversation with one of your hosts and saying “you’re already hosting the party, why not get your host rewards AND get a commission check for inviting your friends. The work is already done!” See how the focus changes. People are motivated by product, by the easy way, the “why not”. So that’s where you need to come from with recruiting. People are looking for friendships, money, fun, free Scentsy…

Get out of your own way. The only person stopping you from promoting, getting awards, earning vacations… is YOU!!! Don’t be your own road block!! Start in your comfort zone and keep pushing yourself.

Remember “No” might just mean “not right now.”
