Considerations

Scentsy sales consultants are given their own sales website free for three months. After three months, consultants pay $10 per month to keep the site.
Considerations
-
The sales commission for a salesperson's sales is 20 to 30 percent. For their recruited downline, the commission is up to 9 percent. Scentsy salespeople must sell or purchase $150 in products every three months to continue with their Scentsy business.
History
-
Scentsy was founded in 2004 by Orville and Heidi Thompson. The founders originally housed the Scentsy product line on his Idaho sheep farm. The company now has 40,000 salespeople who sell the products through home parties and online.
