M.L.
I have about a gajillion friends who sell scentsy. In fact, that's all I ever read about on my facebook wall is their power meetings and conferences and parties and new scents and specials and awards and voting to bring back retired scents and "hurry up and get your order in, I'm placing my weeks order tonight" and how much they *LOVE* their scentsy family...
But if you know women at work wanting a rep, then by all means go for it. Apparently, a lot of people have fun with it, it isn't for me though. (Though I do have a burner I bought from a friend and their sugar cookie melts. Heavenly. But, as horrible as it sounds, I'd rather get them cheaper on ebay, I'm on a budget!)
*To answer your question, yes, they do in home parties, but you can also bring catalogs to work and I am fairly certain you get a webpage people can buy off of too. Plenty of people place orders over the phone.
** about ebay, maybe times have changed, lol! the top scents or favorite high demand scents seem to be in pretty high demand and do go for higher. But for less cute warmers, they can be pretty cheap. Just know your post made me go and plug mine in, ha! I think dealers can do their own specials and incentives too, so that's a plus for the rep.
