What is a Wahm? - The term stands for "Work At Home Mom". A WAHM could be a person who works for a company at home but most WAHMs are independent representatives.

What is Direct Sales?
A direct sales person does not have a fixed retail location. They are often 

included in the "Work At Home Mom" category. They are also called distributors or consultants. They often sell products through in-home presentations, or party plans.

Why the Party Plan method may be your best bet for success.

I sell Scentsy wickless candles. Once I "got it" about home parties I see this may be the best way to sell products.

See, the party plan provides a unique way to keep a flood of good prospects who will listen to your sales story. In fact, they like the idea of a get-together to chat and learn something new.

If you've ever attended a home business party then you know the excitement that can be generated by an experienced hostess. You also know how much fun a good home party can be.

I saw a button the other day. It said "I do THOSE parties". This is a joking way to say we know some people have an aversion to them, though I'm not sure any more why people feel this way. I guess it's sort of forbidden to have fun while doing business, you know? At least in the old sales Bible, that is. Unless you are drinking yourself silly over a business lunch. That type of fun is permitted by the stodgy bunch in suits.

Well, things have changed, ladies and gents. We live in a brand new world that accepts online social marketing and offline scorn for the old ways of doing business. Take advantage of the new way and call your favorite direct sales consultant. She (or he) will love to hear from you! You will make her heart go cha-ching!

In fact, the home party plan may be guerilla marketing at its finest. After all, what we seek as salespeople (dare I say that word?) is simply an audience with an open mind. Home parties provide that, and then some.

By the way, we've noticed a large influx of male Scentsy consultants over the past year. Maybe he lost his job? Maybe he met a Scentsy consultant who obviously doing very well in the flameless candle business (you can tell that by the tilt of her head and the wide smile on her face when she talks about her business).  So, email me if you are a man or a woman you will be treated with respect, gents.  ;)
