This is such an amazing time to be involved with Arbonne! Are any of you going to the training in Atlanta on the "puppy Dog Approach"?


Our team has started doing this -- it really has made a difference in my business... I work a full time job and this type of selling has been easier than the parties.


We have another consultant receiving her Mercedes next week... I was really astounded to find out that someone that I personally know had a check in February from Arbonne that was more than Imake in 3 months working my fulltime job! (And I thought that I made decent money.. )Thatreally put things in a different perspective for me...Let's just say, I am moving full steam ahead and wanting my Mercedes by December!!!smileys/smiley1.gif


I just started my 60 day challenge... are any of you doing this???

If you are talking about the one on June 4, I don't think I'm going to be able to make that one b/c my son's birthday party is that day.


But the puppy dog approach is the entire reason that I got involved. I didn't want to have to do the parties. I love it this way and many people have shown interest b/c you don't have to do the parties.

I am trying to plan to go to atlanta.. is it only about the puppy dog aproach? I am not sure how many more times I want to sit through that being explained... lol


I am not against the Puppy Dog approach.


But I am against people purchasing more then they can afford to buy.


I do tell new consultants about the puppy dog and if they decide to do it that is their choice.


I honestly think it is nicer to give out the whole set rather then the samples. But if all you can afford is samples... then that is what I tell people to use.


I gave my demo set to a facialist to borrow and in 1 day she knew she wanted to use ARBONNE..and now she is excited about the mens set also...

I agree!! There is really no better company to work for. I
love to go to the meetings because they are the only business meetings
I have ever been to in my life where people are happy to be
there! Actual smiles on people's faces!!!

Michelle,


I don't ask someone to purchase more than they can afford. I explain to them the start up fee will get them access to the computer to order. Then they need to decide what is best for them to invest, what they are comfortable with. They may or may not be able to invest the same amount that I did. I have invested in a certain amount of pups (or RE9 sets). I use these to pass out. They are pretty and appealing. People like seeing the exact size they will be purchasing. It's $22.50 for a pack of 10 (if you order 1-9) for the RE9 system for face. Then one would still have to order enough samples of the lift to go with however many samples of the 6 strips they ordered. That's $6.50 if you order 1-9. Then you have to keep ordering samples to pass out. With the pups, you order the pup, pass it out and it last a long time. If it were to be used on a daily basis, it should last 4-6 months. It could last longer if it's not being used daily. If it is done properly, you can recoup your investment and then some in just a few months.

The one thing that is great about the puppy dog is...
You have to follow up lol.. no excuses.
I think following up is the most important part... with pups or samples.
Of course it is great when people call you before you had a chance to call them. People are just amazed at the results. I think that is what is so awesome about this company. Amazing results! I tell everyone that is why I love my job it makes it much easier to sell..because the results sell. Not me.

Melissa,


First let me say something I am sure you have heard before. Melissa Gilbert, like Little House in the Prarie? I am often told I that I resemble her, LOL. Secondly, I too work full time. I am glad to here that the puppy dog approach is working as I will be trying it. Are you doing it with just the RE9 set or with other products? Thanks and best of luck to you!


Lynne

Lynne--- smileys/smiley1.gif I hear that all of the time.. people will call me half pint--- I say I am more a pint and a half! LOL!!! If you resemble her that's great b/c I think she is very pretty!


I am going to order the new RE9 mens line to "pup" out and also the new Arbonne Baby Care... I am also considering pupping out a Basic set to some younger college girls...and women that are working with a tighter budget.


I also don't like people being pressured into buying lots of pups.. more than they are comfortable with...I have a girlthat is getting ready to sign up and she will be placing an RSVP... she has decided that she wants 2 Re9 pupsfor women,1 RE9 pup for Men, 1 BasicN/O pup, and I ABC pup... She will be spending around $444 plus tax .....that includes her start up consultant costs too.


I think that is really reasonable... I didn't start my business this way.. But I went back at my order history and looked at all of the business supplies that I ordered..here and there those first few months. I can tell you it was much more than that!The sample packs aren't cheap...And people just don't feel as compelled to try out the sample pack... There is an urgency to try the full-size bottles... and they know they need to get them back to you in a few days.


The great thing about Arbonne is there are many ways that we can work our business.. all leading to success...


Michelle, ... I think the main focus is the Puppy Dog Approach and also a Fast Track to RVP training... you can look at the agenda on

This new board is just great!!! smileys/smiley32.gif


Melissa

Melissa,


I think she is pretty now too, however, I think I resemble her more from the old days of the TV show, LOL. I will be placing another order for puppy products soon, I already have 2 RE9's, a Bio-Matte set, and and ABC set. Cross your fingers for me as they are going out in the next 2 days.


Much luck to you and please keep in touch. BTW, I used to live in HOTlanta...


Lynne

I bought my tickets the day they went on sale! I will be there with my RVP and my man who is also a consultant!


Ann :)

Wow I like the smaller order for puppy dogs.... great idea!


I will be going to Atlanta!! I can't wait.


Charlene

Ann,


How long has your man been with Arbonne? And how is he working his business?? I always think it is so interesting ... I can't get my hubby to take an active role... I would love for him to... smileys/smiley17.gif

He has always helped me at events but just signed up and RSVPed by himself last month. He is doing well. He is sharing the mens set, vitamins, thermal fusion hair and biz opp with his co workers and friends. This was definately something I thought I would see him do. He is a manly man with a college education. He currently works UPS full time and always told me to please, quickly retire him. A few months ago I made the joke... why don't you help? He said "I do!" I laughed and said, "If I am not fast enough here, do it yourself" WhatI thought was a joke turned into a consultant. My brother signed up too but is slower moving at this. I made a deal with both of them that I will do there parties, cosmetics and hormone balance but they need to do there puppy dogs and businessthe rest of the way.;)


We are having lots of fun and I encourage every one to get their husbands envolved some how, some way because you never know when they will take it to the next level.
