: 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.
