Hello Everyone!


I have been reading your posts for about a month now and I have finally decided to take that leap of faith and sign up as an Arbonne Consultant. I will be an official consultant on June 1st. I have tons of questions, but my main one is what products do you recommend for my RSVP? I don't have a lot of start up money (I'm putting my RSVP on a credit card if that gives you an idea of how little start up money I have), so I need to get the most out of my RSVP. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Well Michelle, it really depends on what you prefer to focus on. If you are going to do pups, I would invest in at least one or two RE9 sets.


I'm sure you would also at the very least get a set of whatever line suits you (unless you already have). It is nice to have a few things to show at classes, i.e., a bottle of vitamins, a scrub or mask, hand lotion or foot cream, sea salt scrub or other aromatherapy....


Mymain suggestion to someone on a budget would be to get things that you will personally use and also bring them with you to classes for display.

Here's my suggestions:



RE9 set

Awaken Sea Salt scrubs (3)

mini hand creams

mini foot creams

reactivate lotion

unwind spray

herbal muscle massage gel

something from baby line

something from men's line

vitamins

skin conditioning oil

thermal fusion enzyme mask

shampoo

conditioner





These things can't be part of the RSVP, but I think they're important.

I would also get the RE9 body set (you can get it for $20 with your
RSVP) and the foundation color selector set from the business aids
section. You will need tons of catalogues and some samples as
well. See if your upline does a group order on those, because you
can save a bunch of money if you by them in bulk. (One 10-pack of
the RE9 facial set samples is $22, but if ten 10-packs are ordered,
they are each only $15.)





Good luck and welcome to Arbonne!

Can't she get the last 4 items from the $5 offer when she purchases all the other stuff? Or does that not apply when doing RSVP?

I dont think it applies. If it does i sure wish I would have known that! But im pretty sure it doesn't apply.

You can't get any of the $5 bonus items with the RSVP, but you can get
your free product as a new consultant, and the RE9 body set for $20.

You can also do the Smart Option instead which would give you the opportunity to get the body basics at $5 ~ costs a bit more, but also gives you more volume.

Wow, thanks for the suggestions. What is the Smart Option, I don't think I'm aware of that one.

the RSVP is $700 in products at cost of $350, gives you $350 volume


the Smart Option- $500 regular order ($325 wholesale) + $200 for $40= $365, gives you $500 volume
