My Story
Our Scentsy story begins with our family. My husband and I are high school sweethearts who gave been married for 8 years. We are parents to 3 kids less than 4 years apart (ages 6, 5, and 3) and work alternate shifts to allow both of us to work without needing childcare. My husband is a coffee manager at a convenience store by day and I am a medical laboratory scientist performing Covid testing for our local community hospital system by night. Our oldest and youngest children are preemies (29 and 36 weeks respectively) and our middle child has battled Chronic Kidney Disease from birth(tho you would never know it by looking at him). Even with both of us working full time, we were struggling to make ends meet each month. I knew something had to change but I didn't want to sacrifice time with my growing family. I NEED to see them grow up and I need quality time with them. That is when my high school friend heard our struggles and introduced us to the Scentsy opportunity. We were skeptical about if we could really succeed at it, but decided that the $99 investment was worth the chance when we were using the products anyway. We figured that the worst that would happen was we used the kit contents for personal use if our business didn't take off. We loved that the products were safe to use around our children.
Fast forward to two years into our business and we have earned the Shooting Star Award, Scentsational Start Level 2, Level 1 of two different incentive periods, gotten 3 promotions while leading a team of 13, and have achieved over 25,000 PRV in sales total so far! Our team is growing and we are currently working toward earning an all-expenses paid FAMILY trip to Disney World next summer! We have gotten to spend more quality time with our kids while making money and earning incentives. What other jobs are out there where that would even be possible?
Our favorite part of this business is that our kids can be a part of it and actually help. As Nico my oldest son says, "Scentsy is simply the best business. There is simply no other business out there that is better than Scentsy." Our kids are learning first hand what it is like to run their own business. They watch training videos with me and are learning how to market products, attract customers, work hard and be confident even when someone says they aren't interested. These are lessons they will take with them in life and be better for it no matter what they decide to do in the future.
We have been blessed to be able to attend Scentsy training events in National Harbor, Maryland and Boston, Massachusetts since joining and have made amazing new friends throughout this journey. It has been such a blessing in our lives and brought us a support system we never even knew we wanted or needed. How will it bless you?
