Little Blog Update

Hey All!

I feel as though I haven't posted enough lately! I just wanted to mention that as hectic as life gets that I am never concerned about my Scentsy business!

After all, that is the GREAT WONDERFUL FANTASTIC thing about Scentsy is that your working hours are so flexible!

You choose your hours!

I also wanted to point out that although I may not have been able to put in as many hours as I would have liked to this past week or so, my business is still going well!

I was able to close a basket party this week that generated over $400.00 in sales!

Point being, choosing to join the Scentsy family means that you are joining a company that offers products that truly do sell themselves.

Working as a consultant is not a daunting task, as much as people may believe it is!

You don't have to be great at sales, and you don't have to slave to earn money!

I cant stress enough how wonderful this opportunity is!

My goal now is to add a new member to my team for March!

If you are interested and want more details, please email me and I will gladly answer any questions that you may have!

Happy Valentines Day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

 

(PHOTO ABOVE IS OF FEBRUARY'S WARMER OF THE MONTH "I HEART YOU")

 

 

What's the first thing that pops into your head when you think of Valentines day candy?

 

 

CHOCOLATE?!?!.... WRONG-O... I said the same thing, coming from a choco-holic I don't blame you.

 

I'm talking about CANDY though....

 

Perhaps Conversation Hearts??

 

 

 

These iconic candies have been around since 1902, and are made by Necco. Every year Necco adds new sayings onto their beloved candy hearts.
 

This year they have even added "Tweet Me" and "Text Me" - seriously we are so driven by technology these days it sometimes scares me!!
 

 

You're probably thinking what the heck does this have to do with Scentsy?!? ..... here I am rambling on about CANDY... haha..

Well my friends, I found this on the Scentsy blog, and thought it was super fun! Do you remember getting these candies and trying to make sentences or poems with them as a kid?

Scentsy took a spin on this concept, and using the idea of Conversation Hearts to make Scentsy Fragrance sayings and poems related to Valentines day... "CONVERSATION BARS!"

 

I LOVE THIS CONCEPT! So creative!!

 

Here's a super cute example:

 

"I tell myself to Just Breathe when you smile and look into my eyes.

 I feel my soul Awakening when I feel you near me.

The Sheer Innocence of your Wink & a Smile Makes me Quiver with love and longing.

 Our Love Story is beginning"

 

 

 

I know I have fellow Scentsy Fragrance addicts, and I also know they would find this super cute! As cheesy as it may be (I KNOW!).

 

If you have a good Valentine's day saying or poem using Scentsy Fragrance names, email them to me!! I'd love to read what you come up with!  >>> b.gerrity@live.com <<<

 

I want to wish all of my fellow Scentsy addicts, team members, potential recruits and new and loyal customers the happiest of Valentines day!

 

Whether you are in a relationship or not, today is a day to celebrate love! If you are single, love yourself and do something JUST FOR YOU! Everyone deserves a little extra love today!

This also goes without saying, that you never know who may be feeling lonely today... So share a smile with a stranger, and give a friendly hello! Simple words and acts of kindness will go a long way today for some! You never know who's longing for someone to just talk to or share a smile with!

 

SHARE THE SCENTSY EXPERIENCE! :) SHARE THE LOVE! SHARE THE PASSION! :)

 

 

All my love,

Brittany Gerrity

SPRING SPRINT 2014

SPRING SPRINT 2014
TORONTO, ON
FEB 8, 2014

 

 

 

 

This past weekend was SO exciting for me! Not only did I celebrate my daughter's 5th Birthday! (OMG GROWING SO FAST!) but I was also given the opportunity to attend Scentsy's Spring Sprint in Toronto, ON!!

 

I had never been to one before (NEWBIE!!) and I had to admit that I was so anxious and almost nervous about going that I spoiled the surprise for myself by joining the "Spoilers" page on Facebook. I don't know WHY I was nervous... I guess I tend to be a little obsessive when it comes to pre-planning, and wanted to ensure that I was prepared for what was to come.

 

Now that I think back, being surprised may have been better, but at the same time, I knew what to bring, what to buy, and what I was getting myself into. So... positive, negative ... Ah well! It is what it is!

 

I do have to say though, I am SOOOOO glad that I went! What a great learning opportunity, and experience. I learned many things, and took so many notes that my hand was cramping and I actually got a blister on my finger!

 

Everyone that attending was in such good spirits, and everyone pumped each other up! It was definitely a good motivational boost event to go to. Especially around this time of the year... I posted recently about the "5th season" and the stage of being in the "winter blues". This event was a great pick-me-up and helped everyone regain focus and set goals for 2014!

 

My sponsor Meaghann and I arrived SUPER early. We were both anxious to get into registration, and then to hit up the Scentsy Family Store. We arrived around 7:30AM, and were registered by 7:45AM. We immediately went to the Family Store, had about a 10 min wait in line, and purchased some goodies for the upcoming spring/summer season! (I got a couple packs of the spring/summer Scentsy Fragrance catalogues, Showcase Brochures, Product Lists, Category Stickers and Cards, the spring/summer Grace Adele catalogues, Mini Scentsy Flashlights, Sunglass Cases, and probably a couple other goodies). By the time we finished our mini-shopping spree, it was only 8:30AM. General session didn't start until 10AM. Sooo... we mingled around, checked out the displays, and then waited for our team to come!

 

 

Kim did an excellent job ordering our Team Shirts!

 

 

Waiting for the General Session room to open!

*PS.. they were about an hour late starting*

 

During the General Session Paul and Jeff spoke about "selfies" and were teasing one another, so I decided that the time was fitting to take one! LOL

 

 

 

Paul looking all casual and what not, opening General Session.

 



 

After Paul showed us his amazing wonder woman Power Pose, Jeff decided to one-up him and give us this little show! Yay for Canada shirts! lol

 

After about a 1-2 hour presentation and some amazing giveaways, we broke for lunch! MMMM thank goodness, because I was STARVING! lol

 

After lunch (we had about an hour and half to eat and return) the breakout sessions started. How this worked was there were 6 rooms available that had different leaders doing presentations on various topics. You were able to choose 3 sessions and attend them in any order you'd like. I chose to go to one on recruiting and building your team, one that was on expanding your business beyond family and friends, and then one on Velata. I have to say the first two sessions I attended were AMAZING. the speakers we well versed, and were so personable and easy to listen to. We learned so many different things about how to speak to people, how to approach people, and how to connect on personal levels. I was extremely disappointed with the Velata speaker though, I have to admit. She had a beautiful display, but she didn't really speak about anything. She dipped an apple in chocolate, and then grilled a sandwich on the racklette table top grill. She then pointed us to Google for recipes and ideas for Velata. Honestly... it was horrible, and I feel AWFUL saying that. The poor girl... I don't know if maybe she was just nervous, or wasn't comfortable... but she had to of known what she was getting signed up for when she agreed to be a speaker at this event. It was just so... unprepared?... I guess that's a good way to describe it. Any who, she didn't sell me on the Velata opportunity, so that sucked. It almost felt like a waste of time and that I could have gone to a much more informative session. 

 

By the end, we were EXHAUSTED, and our heads were filled with new ideas, and we were motivated to set our goals for 2014!

 

If you debated going to SS this year, and chose not to, then I suggest you go next year! Its a ton of fun, and its only $60!! You definitely get a lot out of the information they provide.

 

I guess I should also mention the "Free Product Kit" that you receive when you sign up for Spring Sprint. I personally chose to sign up under Scentsy Fragrance (as that's the only brand I was offering at the time that I signed up). In my kit I received quite a few things including: The Scentsy 10 Year warmer/frame (looks very similar to March 2014's warmer of the month), I received one Scentsy Bar in Nashi Nectar (smellllls delish), a set of the spring/summer transition mini testers, a 25-pack of the spring/summer catalogues, washer whiffs in "Scentsy Clean", Liquid Laundry in "Scentsy Clean", one Grace Adele spring/summer 2014 catalogue, one spring/summer Velata Catalogue, A Scentsy Family pen, a Spring Sprint workbook, and probably a few extra goodies as well that I'm drawing a blank on right now).

 

It was so worth going... It almost makes me want to spend the money to attend Family Reunion... although I'm not quite sure if that's in this years budget!

PS... I may or may not have about 20 Scentsy Family pens... not sure where they all came from, but when I got home that evening, there they all were in the bottom of my bag! WHOOPS!

They will make great little gifts for my customer's order bags though!!

Scentsy Spirit

Getting In The Spirit!

KEEP MOTIVATED

 

 

I like to do things to encourage myself to stay in the Scentsy Spirit. There are months that all consultants have that aren't as "good" as others, or months that you have set goals and were so close to making, but didn't quite get there.

 

I want everyone to understand that this is NORMAL! In any business there are ups and downs, accomplishments and failures. This is all part of the learning process, and of course, its reality.

 

You cannot beat yourself up for the hard times... if you do, you will stress yourself out, and become unmotivated to keep going.

 

INSTEAD - you need to take those moments and turn them into something positive, use them as a learning experience and try to understand what didn't work, and change it so it DOES work!

 

I keep myself thinking positively by doing small things in my life that keep me, and those around me, motivated!

 

Things such as the fact that I have my Scentsy scent circle in my car, its right there in front of me, and I see it every time I get in to take a drive.

 

 

 

The Scent Pak I have sitting on my desk at work.

 

The plug-in warmer that I have warming in the bathroom at work for all of my ladies.

 

 

 

Not only am I sharing my business and the Scentsy experience, I get to see and smell these things on a daily basis which keeps my mind on my goals.

 

 

Simple things like this keep your mind on track even if you don't realize it.

 

 

I have also been known to do, what some people would call "silly", things to keep myself motivated.

 

I do things like paint my nails bright purple, or bright green ... or even both! (Scentsy Colours). 

 



 

I find the simple things, that work and mean something personally, keep you motivated!

 

My most recent motivation endeavor was this:

 

 

 

YES, I now have PURPLE hair! It was nerve wrecking but also super exciting.

 

JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING SPRINT 2014!

 

(No I didn't plan it like that, but it worked out perfectly!)

 

You have to do what it takes, in your own way, to keep yourself motivated through the speed bumps of running your own business.
