You guys are going to hate me for asking so many quesitons! okay, i just had a pretend show and it says i need a total of 330 to send into arbonne. well if i total up what everyone got plus the 7 dollar shipping onto each one, i have too much money to put on the credit cards. I haven't even done tax yet. I am sooooooooo confused!!


Michele

that "too much money", would that be your 35% commission?

I've never had a class that was only credit cards, there's always checks too. You can always say, I take credit cards, but I prefer checks.

no its not because when you do it online the commision was taken out BEFORE they gave the price that i needed on the credit card. My commission was like 101 and the grand total being 330. But then i had the host gifts, etc to add too.

Around here people hardly ever write checks. They use their check cards....i dont mind getting the money at the end of the month instead of that night, but im jsut curious as to how i pocket that extra shipping when it is put on a credit card

what do you mean you have too much money? too much charged to the credit cards?

yes. ARbonne says i need 330 total. but i have more money than that to put on the cards...

then that's your 35 % commission, right?

I see that that would be my 35% commission but when you do it online it already took out $101 saying that THAT was my commission. How do i get that $101 then?

Basically when i placed my pretend order where it says subtotal it also said less 35% discount. so i asssummed that was my money earned from the show

I've been told that in a situation like that to call Arbonne and order it that way to be sure that your 35% gets credited to you on your override check.


I suggest sitting with someone in your upline and watching them put in a few orders, that's what my Area offers to those who aren't sure.

that is your money earned from that show, but since you have all credit card orders, Arbonne will need to put that 35% commission onto your override check

When your entire class, or even most of it, was paid via credit card you can turn in the entire order and Arbonne will send you a check for your 35%. You will need to call in your order to do this. Just call 1-800-ARBONNE and tell them that you are a consultant and want to place an order. Tell them that you do not want to take the discount, but want to pay full price. For payment, give them all of the credit cards that you have from the class. Arbonne sends out override checks once a month around the 15th.

If it's an all CC show, then you would still need to charge that amount to the CC. Then you should get a check at the end of the month for the overpayment. I know this sounds odd. I was previously with another direct sales company. I had one order like that and I just went with what the computer told me to enter. I kept looking for a check and it never came. I finally realized that I did put the ENTIRE amount that needed to be charged (meaning my commision). I chalked it up to a learning experience on that one.


If you ENTIRE show comes to $431 and Arbonne is saying you owe $330, that leaves $101 for your pocket. You would want to charge the entire $431. You should get a check from Arbonne for $101.


Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Are they going to know to do that? And put the extra money from the credit card onto my override check as well? I guess it would be easier to do orders by phone huh?

When your entire class, or even most of it, was paid via credit card you can turn in the entire order and Arbonne will send you a check for your 35%. You will need to call in your order to do this.

great explaination!

WOO HOO! I get it!!!


You guys are the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!smileys/smiley17.gif

Wendy,



So in order to get the $101 override in a check you would have to call
Arbonne to place the order, correct? If I do the order online
then I would have to spend the $101 for items for myself. Doing
the order online does not give you the capable to put more on the
charge than how much the entire order comes to, correct?? I had
this situation happen to me and I was doing the order online.



Jenny

I believe that is correct. Right Melle?


You could make up the difference by ordering from The Place too.

If this happens when you have a party hosted by someone else, you can enter the host info online (sign them up as a client) which would allow you to place the order online with the host being the "client" that is placing the order ~ this will total up the entire amount for the $431 party and ship the order to the host. You then get your commission on your check from Arbonne.


If you are the host for your own party and everyone uses a CC ~ it's probably easiest to call the order in.

hello, i am new to the message board and i am also an Arbonne independant consultant. I have been doing this for almost 2 months and I will promoting out to District Manager at the end of this month. I love this site but frankly I have more questions now that i am reading all of these threads.


The issue with cc is now confusing to me. I just want to make sure that I understand. For example: if I have alot of retail orders and some pay with check and some with cc..........what is the best way to place the order? I just had a party that had several retail orders and everyone paid with a check and one with a cc. I put the orders under my consultant number but paid with my cc and the additional cc. After reading this, I am wondering how I would rec. my 35% commission on the one person that paid with a cc. The checks are not a problem b/c I take the 35% like it was cash. Should I have put the check orders under my ID on the computer and called in the cc order so that they would put the 35% on my check?


I look forward to your input.

This is only an issue when ALL (or nearly all) payments are made in credit cards. Otherwise, do it the way you have been doing it. You have to look at the TOTAL, not each sale individually. When you have more cc's and the total on cc's that you recieved from sales is more than the total to send in, that's when you need to call it in to 1-800-arbonne (because that "extra" is actually your commission)





maybe chrlstoncharmed can explain it better!smileys/smiley1.gif
