Being a scentsy consultant?

115 replies

Talkthirtytome · 25/10/2019 18:37

I'm thinking about becoming a scentsy consultant. I've read up about mlms and I'm not expecting to make a living from it but i don't want to lose money either. Just want some opinions really!

OP posts:

@LivingDeadGirlUK I make more than minimum wage but only put in a few hours a week so its not lots of money. This is fine for me.

@Liseg2005 I know I am, they seem to think that because there are people out there that exploit others we must all be the same. We're not. If you're losing more money than you can make then it isn't for you and you need to leave. It's not a get rich quick scheme and it's not something you should feel pressured into!

Oh I have plenty of morals and can't see where I wrote the words that I don't. I have nothing to do with anyone else that sells Scentsy, so my conscience is clear. I'm not recruiting anyone nor am I trying to. If I was then I could understand your statement. I've just joined Mumsnet and this is the first post I've had experience with. I didn't realised it was designed to put other mothers down for doing something they enjoy, but there you go, you learn something new everyday. I responded with my experience with it as someone asked a question Anyway I'll make this my last response as I can see there are people trolling and after an argument so this could go on forever. I'm sure you will find another victim to try and belittle. I'll bid you good day. I'm off to smell my waxes!

Have the Boss Babez Bots chucked a link to this somewhere?

....quite possibly judging by the brainwashed botss new posters who have popped up on this thread yet have never posted on MN before....

BINGO!

thetemptationofchocolate · 28/10/2019 19:33

Elliescents in your first post you said
if you are losing friends and money then you are doing it all wrong

In your second post you said
Putting people down and laughing at them really isn't called for

What do you think you are doing by telling someone they are doing it all wrong, if not putting them down? I dare say there will be a script somewhere to answer that question, ask your upline if you haven't learned that one yet.
I do agree with you about not laughing, there is nothing funny about MLMs

Gingerkittykat · 28/10/2019 19:33

What a strange hobby, can't you take up knitting or something?

I have a friend who recently started up her own business making and selling wax melts and she is doing pretty well. People like me actively ask to see and smell her products because they are nice and also pretty cheap. Perhaps this would be a better idea for the OP.

elliescents · 28/10/2019 19:57

Yes they are doing it wrong if they are losing money and friends due to using scripts as you mentioned, and being a pushy and desperate seller. I don't do that and we don't have scripts, my up line certainly don't have anything like this or tell us to use any, that's not how I work. Every single one of you have ignored that and carried on accusing me of being this 'Boss Babe' character I've never ever been. So I'm going to carry on doing what I enjoy, which isn't knitting, and you can all carry on doing what you enjoy.

AlkaSeltz · 28/10/2019 20:02

How much profit do you make annually?

thetemptationofchocolate · 28/10/2019 20:34

The point I was making is that you were telling us off for putting people down, whilst doing so yourself.

FranceTeam · 28/10/2019 21:44

Jo Malone candles are the best ones, save your cash on mlm shite and buy quality brands instead

MoggyP · 28/10/2019 22:17

"I didn't realised it was designed to put other mothers down for doing something they enjoy"

Well, whi's doing the ding down now?

Many MN posters think it is supportive of others to warn them in blunt and unmistakeable terms that less than 0.3% of people who sign up to MLMs make any profit at all. And people can and do make losses.

It is strange that so many new posters from the 0.3% have joined to post about this. Stranger still that none of them are able to say how much is their turnover or most recent annual profit.

abatculledjohn · 28/10/2019 22:31

I'm running out of bingo cards.

TheoriginalLEM · 28/10/2019 22:58

I worry about candles being carcinogenic

Thing is, the facebook groups are so addictive in terms of, theres always someone on it, the wise mother-hen experienced 'consultants' who people look up to as they live and breathe scentsy. They overshare their lives so you feel you know them, all the drama over a new catalogue (lots of eeks and squeeks), people queuing up to have photos taken with the bosses as if they are celebs. Its weird, so weird. People crying when the female boss/ ceo cries at their conferences. I mean who does this in real life? Who would line up to have a photo with their boss? Who would choose to go on a holiday (that they pay for) with their boss?!
