Wow! We just had a great conversation on Vokle with our SuperStar Director, Allison Dalke, loaded with information. I'll skip most of the need-to-know for convention stuff, since I don't think any of you are going. However, I strongly recommend that you follow along on social media, if you want to learn all the news that will come out of convention. You may even want to learn more about our speakers by reading their books. The speakers this year are Carrie Wilkerson, Laura Stack, and DeWitt Jones. I know I plan to go to amazon.com and order my reading material for the plane this week. :)
Brand X: The latest Scentsy Family brand will be announced at convention and rumor has it that it will launch on August 1. I'm not exactly sure if that means we will be able to sign up or sell on August 1, but that is a big day for the new brand.
Fall: Layers will be part of the Scentsy wickless catalog this Fall/Winter. Remember August is transition month, so most of the catalog is 10% off, and starter kits order early in the month will get Spring/Summer items and Fall/Winter items.
Ideas: If you have ideas for new products for any brand or for the Scentsy Family store, you can send them to productideas@scentsy.com. Use "Attn" in the subject line with a note about what brand you have any idea for in the subject line, so it's properly directed. Scentsy is always open to our ideas, and many products now available came from fellow consultants.
Velata: One of the "party" ideas I saw in the chat box was to loan out your Velata warmer for a day. The borrower buys the bag of chocolate, and gets to test the product before the buy. You could probably even work a deal that you will refund them or get them a new bag of chocolate if they bring back over $150 in orders.
Well, I guess there was more convention topics on the call than I realized or maybe I didn't write it all down. :) At least you get an idea of what goes on with these little sessions. It's really fun for me just to "hang out" with these amazing consultants. These are also the types of things we can discuss in our own meetings. I'm hoping to schedule my first Scensty team meeting on August 18th, so I can discuss with all of you the MANY things we will discuss on the Vokle call with Allison on the 14th along with topics that directly effect us and things I learn at convention. I still recommend participating in Allison's event because I might not cover something of interest to you. I still have not heard from most of you about whether or not you would like to Skype or Vokle into a team meeting, so I'm hoping to hear from you this week.
Allison and her team are also hosting a mini-convention in Norman, OK, on August 25. There is an online option for $25 that includes all the materials and a t-shirt. I will be doing online for this one because I am traveling the weekend before, and that will be the end of my son's first week in big kid school. You don't have to watch live if you order the online option, you will get an email with links to ALL the trainings. The main topics for this mini-convention will be how to GROW your business and be a business person especially with anticipated growth of the Scentsy Family over the next couple of years. How exciting!!!!!
Last but VERY important - a big SHOUT OUT to Lesya and Stephanie for having over 200 PRV last month. Way to be active, ladies!!!!
Hope you are all staying cool this summer and making big plans to grow your business this fall. I know I am! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Scentsationally,
Heather
