💜 Another consultant shared this, and it really resonated with me, so I wanted to share it here too.
🌱 Some Things I Wish I Knew as a Brand New Consultant
1️⃣ You don't need to know everything before you start. I spent way too much time waiting until I felt "ready." The truth is, you learn by doing. Every consultant you admire was once brand new too.
2️⃣ Consistency beats motivation. The people who succeed aren't always the most talented—they're the ones who keep showing up, even when engagement is low.
3️⃣ Most people are not ignoring you. They're busy. Kind follow-ups aren't annoying; many customers appreciate the reminder.
4️⃣ It's okay to start small. You don't need huge parties, massive sales, or a giant team right away. Small steps repeated consistently can build something incredible over time.
5️⃣ You don't need a huge following. You need relationships. A small group of loyal customers is worth more than thousands of followers who never order.
6️⃣ Comparison will steal your joy. Someone else's chapter 20 is not your chapter 1. Focus on your own growth and progress.
7️⃣ Personal posts matter. People connect with people. Share your life, your family, your pets, your hobbies, and your story—not just product photos.
8️⃣ Not every month will be a record-breaking month. Business has seasons. Slow months don't mean you're failing.
9️⃣ Systems save you. Customer lists, follow-up trackers, host coaching, and simple routines are often more valuable than chasing every new trend.
🔟 Your business should fit your life. Especially for busy moms, caregivers, and people balancing work, family, and everything in between. Success doesn't have to look the same for everyone.
1️⃣1️⃣ Every "no" isn't personal. Sometimes it's timing. Sometimes it's budget. Sometimes it's simply not a priority right now.
1️⃣2️⃣ The relationships become the best part. The friendships, customer connections, team culture, and personal growth often become more valuable than the sales themselves.
1️⃣3️⃣ Your first few months are for learning. Give yourself permission to be new. Every catalog, launch, event, and challenge teaches you something that will help you grow.
💜 If you're new to Scentsy—or thinking about joining—remember that you don't have to have it all figured out. Just start where you are, learn as you go, and give yourself grace along the way.
