Thank you all for coming to Team Talk.  I learned so much and can't wait to share what I learned with anyone who was not able to make it. 

• We covered so many  aspects of our business and how to keep it growing for us.
• We concentrated on goals and how to use them to our advantage. 
• We made so many kinds of samples.
• Stacy and Michelle showed us how to make ones that are so cute and had so many ideas what to do with them.
• We came up with a way to let people try the pink pepper mixed with another scent by making a sample and what was so cool was I had a cookie cutter that was shaped like a pepper.
• We also shared ideas on where to purchase baggies and other items we used to make our creations
• We went over some compliance laws
• Michelle and Stacy showed me their business cards done by our Scentsy company and they are great and not too expensive

Mark the date...TEAM TALK at my house on Tues June 5th 6:30

Drive your Stake....

As I close up the month and see my totals soared over last month I realized one thing.
Setting goals has helped me see where I want to be .........and get there. 
How has your goal setting helped you?  Have you been honest and made yourself  write them down and evaluate how close you were to reaching them?
Ask yourself ...what your willingness has  been.  What you desire your willingness to be.
A very successful business man used to tell me to "Drive my Stake and keep working toward it."
I Challenge each of you to DRIVE YOUR STAKE!

anyone looking for good party ideas?   What's it worth to ya?   Will you tell the others what your favorite Scentsy learning video it for one?  I will e-mail you a complete party idea for each favorite you have and where you found it.
If you really want to be good at your business and want it to grow you have to learn and it is easy with the training center....we need to use it more.

Willingness....

What is your level of willingness today?
Are you up for a Fundraiser?  I just finished one and it was well worth the work.
Where should we go to find events like this? 
If you have good ideas post them and share.
I have tried schools and had very little luck.  I will keep trying. 
I am now seeking groups of women who give money.  Like service organizations. 
If you have done a fundraiser tell us how it went and what is your set up.
Have a Scentsational week.
Wish me luck on the Velata parties I am going to be having soon.  If you did not sign up and want one I am making an order the first few days of may  so let me know

Focus on Relationships

One of your best tools in our business is the ability to listen to people. 
Listening is so important.
Listen then plant seed to people on the opportunity to join Scentsy.
Almost everyone you know or meet can use Scentsy or want Scentsy.
Building relationships is not a very hard thing to do but it takes time and compassion.  Each relationship means a sale, or a party, or even a team member.
Do any of you have any good ideas on how to approach people to join Scentsy?
Do any of you have any great ideas on how to get people to host a party?
Has anyone ever turned a person who hosted a party into a  team member?
For the people who want to share ideas and comment on our Refuel I will send you a custom document.  I want to share with each of you all the things I have made and the thing shared with me by other great Scentsy Consultants  I will send you a document for each positive learning comment you post.  I have tons so get busy and lets network!
Thank you all for being great team members and I want to help you each grow a business.
Kim

Will

Success is governed by Willingness.
There are 3 levels of willingness.  Which one is yours?

#1  N. A. P.      or This is Not A Priority right now

#2  CONDITIONAL  I'm in when I feel like it and when it is easy.

#3  UNCONDITIONAL  I'm in no matter what.
Your life will be whatever you WILL it to be!

Now that you honestly figure out which level of willingness you are.  Let's work on getting to the UNCONDITIONAL level of willingness.  That is where you put out your" I'm Open For Business" sign every morning and don't take it down until your head hits the pillow. 
This can mean that your put your mom hat on or wife wig or anything you want it or need it to be.  It means BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE TODAY!
Be careful of the IDFLIDs.....can you guess what that stands for?
I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT DAYS.  Don't let them get you.

Velata....you have until the 28th to order yours for the special price.  Call me if you need help doing this.

Also Cherry Vanilla is the scent for May and it is lovely.

I watched SCENTSY THE ORIGINAL WICKLESS CANDLE HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY on youtube.
I really like this one because it has The owners of the company and so many of the ladies who are super star directors who were just like us to start with.
#2 SCENTSY WAX VS WALMART WAX on youtube.
this was entertaining and has some great proven facts that show how Scentsy is better than walmart wax.

Goals and Inspirations

Did you know that only 3% of Americans have a list of measurable goals?
A WRITTEN GOAL BECOMES A ROADMAP FOR WHERE YOU ARE NOW AND WHERE YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE FUTURE.
I feel that to set realistic goals you have to know #1 WHAT INSPIRES YOU
I am working on setting goals in all these areas of my life
HOME AND FAMILY
SPIRITUAL
FINANCE AND CAREER
PHYSICAL AND HEALTH
PERSONAL GROWTH AND EDUCATION
SOCIAL AND CULTURAL

My Goal sheet will be like this for each area above...
Goal________________ Action Required_____________________
Accomplished_________date

Ok so if you just started your business maybe your first month's goals would be something like this:
Home & Family Goal To set scheduled hours to work my Scentsy so I am not cutting into my family time.
Action Required Set some hours to work when the family has other things planned or after bed or in the day when the kids are at school... and stick to it.

And so on in the other catagories.
I didn't seem to think Goals were for real people. I started this just a short 5 months ago and now My goals are way different because I have seen how doable things are if you set your steak and drive straight to it....running through and jumping over obsticals and rejection and negative energy all the way.
You won't believe what you are capable of if you set goals and commit them on paper.
I challenge you to try this. If you would like to share any or all or if you come up with a great sheet to document them on we would all love to have it.
I am raising the bar for myself this month. Just a few hours...and a few phone calls, and a few dollars more than last month.
I enjoyed TEAM TALK and was inspired by your passion and drive for your scentsy business. I missed each one who was not able to make it. We watched A couple of great videos and shared some great ideas with each other. I am sure any of us would be happy to share all the details with you.

AND THE WINNERS ARE....

How many parties did each of you close? post a comment with that The winner gets one pink pepper scent trend bar.
Sold $750
Sold $1000 Mauraka Smith wins selling over $1200
Learner Earner Drawing winner Mauraka Smith
A big thanks to my helper Serina for drawing...she is awesome always willing to help.
Awesome work this month team.
We are planning to get together for Team Talk at the salon at 5:30 to 6ish on Friday the 2nd of March.

Today's Challenge

Listen to Explosive Ideas for Increasing Party Sales in the Training Center under sales.
Doesn't that make you want to find a party? Maybe 2!
Ok then listen to OVERCOMING OBJECTIONS BY LISA MURDOCK also in the workstation under Training Center.
Do this and post about them for all to talk about and get one entry into a monthly LEARNER EARNER DRAWING.

Leap Day Wrap it Up

Good Morning
Today is the day to wrap up all sales and parties for February. If you have trouble putting your orders in just call me or your upline and we can help.
Then go on the work station and print off one of the layers flyers so you have it for your basket. Then start calling or go see people on your list to see if they will do a basket party for you this month. Try to have 3 book or basket parties completed by the 15th. I bet you can...in Fact for our first March incentive I will give a free room spray to the person who closes 3 parties by the 15th of March
And I will give a special prize to the person who puts in the first $150 order in March...It will be a travel tin.
WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL SINCERELY SCENT CARDS UNTIL APRIL NOW.
I will do the drawings this evening when I get home so if you have watched any educational videos tell us about them fo a chance to win a set of transition mini testers. Also post how many qualifing parties you closed this month.

So True

Out with the OLD and In with the NEW

Really there are only 2 days to get all the orders we can from the old book. This is such a busy time for me and the tiny little area I call office is decorated with sticky notes of who I need to call and what hostess gift I need to order for the parties I have coming up. Crazy but it feels so good and productive.
I am also printing off the Layers brochure so I can have at least a few for my party on the 3rd and some for my book parties I have going on.
How many book parties do you have working for you right now...1, 2, 3,.....6 that's my goal 6 book parties a month. What is your goal?
This month with all the new products and the awesome fruity and floral spring scents we should do all our friends a favor and ask them to do a book party so they can earn a whole set of our layers body care for FREE.
So far Mauraka won 2 bars of sunlit morning SOM for March for selling $1263.07
Also Mauraka can promote to lead consultant if she gets one recuit before end of month. Go Mauraka Go
I know others that have orders to put in and will probably win also.
Great job everyone.
Use this as a motivater don't let it intimedate you if you only have a small amount of sales. We all started there and you have to start some where!
Also if you want to stock up on any of the fall/winter bars now is a good time with them 10%off and bricks will be going away and they are 10%off too.

R U Certified?

Good Morning
R U Certified?
Do you even know you could be?
Yes you can....when you sell your first $1000 worth of Scentsy you become Certified!
Yep and you get a raise...yippee
Wanna know how to get there in Simple steps????
I am going to figure from a $0 start
You could have 8 $150 Book parties ( this is where you ask 8 people to collect orders for you this month.
You could teach the host a little better and have them do $300 Party you only have to have 4 people do that for you
Or you could get 2 people and really explain and coach and help them set goals and then turn them loose with your book or do a home show...$500 or more party.
These are all ways to help you get Certified . You can choose one or mix them up but at least you can see that it is achievable.
March One of my goals is to help you each get a 5% raise on your personal retail Volume (all you sell) I will help you get Certified.
* Tip for success...Always have at least 2 book or basket parties going...always. Let those little guys work for you.
It's Saturday and one of the biggest money days in our business. Go ask 3 people to host a show for you ...it can even be a book party.
Wish me luck I have a home show in Sanford today.
Have a Scentsational Day!
