You assume too much. I will give you this much. There are a great many posts here from those who "gave it a try" and after a few days or weeks quit and blame the company. Shame on them because they are bashing for the wrong reasons.
There are also, posts from people like me, that made over $1,000,000 in the business but still don't have a favorable opinion of how it operates. THAT is why some of us left. The year I left the company, I was 1 of 10 offices that won a trip to Monte Carlo.
"Alternative Marketing" and/or direct sales is awesome.....but recruiting people on false pretenses knowing that 99% of them will leave the business in worse shape than they came, is not admirable. The 1% of people that truly make great money w/ Scentura are people that could make great money doing ANYTHING.
I taught at a few owners schools for Scentura where we taught owners how to recruit and retain people at all costs. I didn't lie to people but I knew how to tell the story and make it sound great. I don't look back on that time of my life with Pride, but with regret for having steered people wrong for personal gain. Hindsight is 20/20 but I post here to provide honest insight so people perusing for info can find an honest take from someone without an agenda. If anything maybe I find some feeling of redemption being able to offer information that to people so they can make an informed decision on their future.
So why are you here Kim? What is your backround? Have you ever stayed in a seedy motel sleeping on the floor because you sold the least on the road trip that day? Have you ever cut ties with friends/family in naivity, believing they were going to drag you down with their "negative attitude".
Unless you have some personal experience in the business, I contend you are speculatively talking out your ass. You are the person signing the back of the paycheck while some of us are signing the front.
