60 Ways To Sell Scentsy & Grow Your Direct Sales Business!

There are many things I love about Scentsy, but one of the most important things to me is the ability to be able to sell the product however I feel comfortable with.  When I first joined Scentsy, parties scared me, events scared me, talking to strangers worried me.  There are so many ways to sell the Scentsy products, that slowly my confidence grew and I am now able to do all these things.

So if you are trying to find ways to sell the products within your current confidence levels, or if you are looking for some new ideas to try, then you have come to the right place!  As you read through the list make a note of two or three to try, take them away and action them.  Once you have done them, come back and pick another two or three.  Slowly work your way through the list until you are actively doing all these tasks.  Which your business grow and hopefully your confidence as well!
