1 SET YOUR GOALS


Before setting your goals, its important to think about why you joined Scentsy Family. 
Did you do it to help supplement your family income? Did you want an opportunity to socialise and sharpen your presentation skills? Or do you simply love the products and have a passion to share them with others? Once you understand your motivations, you can set goals that will help drive your own form of success.

It All Starts With a Goal


First, clearly define your primary goal and write it down. A written goal is proven to have a much higher rate of success. Your Primary Goal: Post your goal in your home office, on the bathroom mirror, or somewhere you can see it every day. Then figure out what it will take to get there. If it looks a little scary on paper, try breaking it up into smaller pieces; then get started with one manageable piece at a time. Its easiest to first decide how many parties you may need to schedule to meet this initial goal. I will schedule parties per week to reach my goal. To get started, try at least 1-2 parties per week for the first 70 days. Tip:  Mark a calendar with the days you can fit parties around family and/or other commitments then youll always know when youre available! Next, determine what other actions will help you reach your goal.

Promote!
As a brand-new Consultant, you earn a 20 percent commission on your Personal Retail Volume (PRV). As soon as you earn a cumulative total of 1,000 points in PRV, you will be promoted to Certified Consultant and begin earning a 25 percent commission thats a 5 percent raise you can earn right away! I will become a Certified Consultant by (date):

2 Its Time to Party!


 Parties are at the heart of your business. At a party, you will sell products and show others that being a Consultant is something they can do, too! Parties are also a great place to schedule more parties that will keep your business running at full speed. To get your business off to a great start, begin planning your launch party today!

Your Launch Party


Your launch party is the grand opening of your business. Its the perfect opportunity to gain your very first customers and Hosts so you can schedule more parties and continue to share the products and business opportunity. Because youre the Consultant and the Host at your launch party, you earn the Host Rewards! (For more information see page 12.) And once you breeze through your launch party, youll realise how easy it is to translate your love of the products into a fabulous party experience for your future Hosts and their guests. Heres a checklist that can help you get started: Before Your Launch Party  Choose a date for the party. We recommend hosting your launch party within 10 days of becoming a Consultant.  Set up your party on the Workstation, under the Orders tab. When you do this, your party becomes visible on your Personal Website (PWS). (For more on how to use the Workstation, see page 13.)  Create a guest list using your List of 100. (Learn how on page 8.)  Invite guests using postcards, or by phone, email, Facebook, etc. Be sure to over-invite generally, one out of three guests will actually attend.  Create a display using items from your Starter Kit.  Label catalogues and other business materials with your contact information. (Templates for personalised labels are available in the Resources tab.) Your Starter Kit contains catalogues, invitations, and order forms; each item becomes more valuable when labeled with your contact information.  Prepare Host Packets to give out to future Hosts. (For more information, see page 10.)  Prepare a short presentation and practice it.  Bring pens, order forms, and a calendar marked with your availability so you can book new parties at a glance!

party

During Your Launch Party Relax and be yourself.  Tell everyone why you love the products!  Explain Host Rewards to help book more parties. (For more tips on how to book parties, see page 10.)  Ask everyone you speak with if they are interested in hosting a party and earning Host Rewards of their own.  Show others how fun and easy it is to be a Consultant, and share more about the opportunity with any guests who show an interest. After Your Launch Party  Call guests who couldnt attend to see if theyd like to place an order before you close the party they can even shop on your PWS.  Close your party and enter party orders on your Workstation. For help entering orders, work with your Sponsor or visit the Training Centre. Label products with your contact information and deliver orders.  isit the Training Centre for more launch party tips and instructions on how to enter your V first order!

Build Your Contact List


Its amazing how many people you actually know! Use the List of 100 on the next page to start building a list of contacts you can use to create your launch party guest list. Write down all the names that come to mind in the following categories: Friends and family  Your spouses friends and family  School friends (yours and/or your childs) Teachers  Someone who loves fragrance, or fashion  Contacts you know through your children Your co-workers Your spouses co-workers  Church or community contacts Someone who travels  Someone who wants extra income  Social media friends near and far (friends who dont live in your area can still shop your party online!) Neighbors and acquaintances

If you dont get to 100 names right away, dont worry! Continually add to your list, and keep in touch with those listed. Every six months, you may want to check in with your contacts to see if theyd like to place an order, host a party, or learn more about the business opportunity.

Booking Parties
We cant state it enough: Parties are essential to your business. And every party, including your launch party, is a great place to generate more bookings. Here are a few tips that will help you fill your calendar in no time.  Talk about Host Rewards. As a Consultant, Host Rewards are one of the most powerful tools you have when encouraging someone to book a party: Once theyve seen and fallen in love with the products, all thats left is to tell them how they can get theirs free! (For more information on Host Rewards, see page 12.)  Share party options. Theres a party type for every Host and every location from living rooms to cyberspace! (For more information on party options, see page 11.)  Have Host Packets ready. These will help your Host be ready for the party. (For more information on Host Packets, see below.)  Know your open dates. Always have your calendar on hand and be prepared to schedule a party whenever and wherever you are.  Offer your next available date. This keeps the excitement high, and theres no rule that says you need two weeks to prepare for a party! Most people know on Thursday if they are available the following Tuesday. Get referrals. Ask everyone for referrals. Even if someone isnt interested in hosting a party, they probably know someone who is. Overbook! Always schedule more parties than you think you need to reach your monthly income goals. Visit the Training Centre for more party tips! 

Host Packets
Before the party, give your Host a packet of information to help them prepare. Include: Catalogues Order forms Hosting brochures Postcard invitations  Your business cards Youll find each of these items in your Starter Kit. If you run out of any of these business supplies, you can reorder them by placing a Scentsy Family Store order from the Orders tab in your Workstation.

10

Party Styles
There isnt just one way to party! When it comes to experiencing our products, you and your Host can work together to choose the perfect party style. And no matter which style your Host prefers, Host Rewards work the same theyll get free and half-price products with each qualifying party.  Home Party  With a home party, your Host will provide the location, invite friends and family, and supply simple refreshments. Then youll share the products and business opportunity, interest others in hosting a party, and show everyone how much fun you get to have as a Consultant! Open House Party  For an open house, your Host will invite guests to drop by at their convenience during a two- to three-hour window. You wont give one big presentation, but instead give several mini presentations. Guests can browse products and mingle at their leisure. Basket Party (Scentsy Fragrance only) While it may not offer the full social experience of a home party, a Scentsy Fragrance basket   party is the perfect alternative for guests-on-the-go. Provide your Host with a beautiful display basket full of product samples, order forms, and all the information theyll need, to share with as many people as they like. After 10-14 days, collect the basket and completed order forms and enter the orders into your Workstation! Adding Outside Orders to a Party Encourage your Hosts to maximise their Host Rewards by collecting orders from guests who cant attend. Guests can also join a party on your Personal Website (PWS) and place their orders there. You can find party games and other helpful party tools in the Resources tab on your Workstation.

11

Host Rewards
Your Hosts will do almost all of the prospecting for you, and deserve to be rewarded generously. With our Host Rewards, they have the chance to earn free products and half-price items for their own shopping! Host Rewards are one of the main reasons why people choose to host a party, which makes them one of the most powerful tools you have to grow your business. Here are some of the key details you need to know:  The product or discounts awarded to the Host are paid for by Scentsy Family. Discounts and free product will not come out of your commission. Host Rewards do not count toward Personal Retail Volume (PRV).  To earn Host Rewards, your Host must throw a qualifying party of at least 150 in sales, excluding shipping and handling. There is a Host Reward fee of 4 charged to the Consultant if all of the half-price items earned at a party are not redeemed. If your Host doesnt use them all, take advantage of the discounts yourself! The chart below details the benefits a Host can earn through the Host Rewards program.

HOST REWARDS
Guest Sales* Free Product Half-Price Items 150-249 10% 1 250-399 10% 2 400-999 15% 3 1,000+ 15% 4

Always encourage your Host to collect outside orders before and after the party, and also invite guests who cant attend in person to join the party and place an order through your Personal Website (PWS). Any orders collected before you close the party still count toward their Host Rewards!

Perpetual Party Reward


A Host can continue to earn rewards even after their party: If one of their guests signs up to host a party, your Host will receive an additional half-price item when they attend that party! We call it the Perpetual Party Reward, and its a great way to motivate your Host to help you book parties.

* Host Reward levels are VAT inclusive.

Getting Paid
Here are the details youll need to know: Calculating Commissions Scentsy Familys Compensation Plan is designed to support multiple countries. Thats why commissions are paid based on Personal Retail Volume (PRV) rather than currency. In other words, Scentsy Family uses points instead of pounds when determining commissions earned. This allows Scentsy Family to maintain a single Compensation Plan across multiple countries. Once commissions and bonuses are calculated using the points in PRV earned, the figures are then converted to the appropriate currency. To pay commissions, Scentsy Family uses a calculation that includes a peg rate to convert PRV to local currency. The peg rate is set for a period of time and does not correspond to any currency exchange rate. The current peg rate for the U.K. is 0.833. To calculate your monthly commission: (Your PRV Points) x (Your Commission Percentage) x (Your Countrys Peg Rate) = Commission in Pounds To find the PRV points you earn for each product you sell, check out the United Kingdom Price List in the Resources tab of your Workstation Scentsy Family Pay Portal As a Scentsy Family Consultant, you receive a Pay Portal account where your commissions and bonuses are loaded each pay day. You can access your Pay Portal account by clicking the Pay Portal link on your Workstation or visiting ScentsyPay.com. From your Scentsy Family Pay Portal account, you may transfer your earnings to up to two personal bank accounts. For more information on the Pay Portal, go to the Training Centre or the FAQ section of the Pay Portal home page. If you sign up for more than one Scentsy Family brand, your commissions will still go to the same Pay Portal account.

Visit the Training Centre for more Pay Portal information.

Pay Days Commissions and bonuses for each month are loaded to your Scentsy Family Pay Portal account by the end of the 11th day of the following month; if the 11th falls on a weekend or bank holiday, commissions will be paid on the next business day. For an order to be included in the following months commission payment, it must be submitted during the qualifying month prior to 11:59 p.m. (PT) on the last day of the month. For example: Any qualifying sales during the month of April earn a commission payment by 11 May. Ranks and titles are updated when commissions are paid.

Value Added Tax (VAT)


Non VAT-Registered Consultants/Customers Value added tax (VAT) is imposed on the purchase of Scentsy products and services. The VAT rate applicable on products ordered is the rate of the country where the products will be shipped. The VAT rate applicable for services such as International Service Fees and PWS subscriptions is the rate of the country where Scentsy is located. The prices displayed in the UK catalogues are inclusive of VAT. VAT-Registered Consultants If you are registered for VAT, you need to provide your EU VAT number(s) to Scentsy. You may have done this during the enrolment process or you may do so at any time by emailing support.uk@scentsy.com. Once submitted, your VAT number(s) will be verified by Scentsy through the European Commission. Following the VAT number verification, compliance with VAT reporting and remittance on orders will be the Consultants responsibility, not Scentsys. VAT will be collected by Scentsy on all products ordered for customers through Scentsys payment processor on the Workstation and remitted by Scentsy to the appropriate taxing authorities. For products and subscriptions sold to VAT-registered Consultants, no VAT will be charged. The Workstation will generate a unique invoice with the information necessary for fulfilling the Consultants reporting obligation. Go to the Resources tab on your Workstation for further information regarding VAT. Tip: W  e recommend setting up a separate cheque account exclusively for your business so you do not comingle funds between your personal and business accounts. This will help you track business expenses and follow your financial progress.
