Scentsy Story
Thank you for stopping by my page! I'm SO excited, as I JUST celebrated my 13th anniversary with Scentsy this past September! I’m basically re-starting my business and I’m so thrilled about my future! I found Scentsy at a Women's Expo in Dallas, TX. Once I saw it I was immediately drawn to it! "What a great concept! It's a LIGHT BULB!" I was told that all you have to do is "PLUG it in and TURN it on!” How simple is that! I LOVE candles, and could see the potential for a profitable business so I was interested in the opportunity right away! I'm very glad I decided to join! Lots of amazing things have happened to me since I started my Scentsy journey. I can't believe the things I have accomplished and the people I have met. In less than a year I became a Director. 8 Months later I became a Star Director. I’ve been asked to be a speaker at a regional World Tour gathering. That particular event happened to be Scentsy's 2nd largest gathering of over 2,000+ people, more than at national convention a few months before! Out of the 300+ Directors in my region, I was 1 of 8 speaking that day. What a wonderful opportunity that was to be recognized and to be asked to share my story with everyone. It was an experience of a lifetime, and it just keeps getting better all the time! One of the best things about Scentsy is that YOU can chose HOW you want to work your Scentsy business. I was 1 level from the top and I had a family situation that needed my attention and I had to step back. I had no idea that 8 years later I’d be starting from the bottom again. But Scentsy is here and will always be here no matter what. I’m fortunate that Scentsy provides all the training, information, support and things I need to resume or restart my business. I’m a work in progress and I am excited to be a Future Scentsy Success Comeback Story! Scentsy is great whether you want to BUY, HOST, or JOIN. It's just that SIMPLE. If you're like me, and you love candles, and you love people, and you love the flexibility to do your business your way, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about our wonderful company, product, hostess rewards, or business opportunity! You'll be glad you did! Blessings to you and Wishing you a SCENSTSATIONAL Day! Believing and KNOWING it CAN happen! *Scentsational Scentsy Facts that we're PROUD of!
