Hi Everyone. I am trying to decide if Arbonne is the right company for me. You guys all seem so supportive of one another. I live in northern NJ, are there any reps that live in NJ? It seems that a lot of people have support groups in their areas. I would love to find one in mine if I decide to join. I am 6 months pregnant and I am a little nervous about what kind of investment is involved beyond the initial $29. I see people talking about"pups" and other materials to purchase. Also I am a little confused because it seems you don't need tocarry inventory or have home parties; but everyone is talking about doing presentations. Are presentations differentfrom home parties? How about catalog sales? I have a huge directory of people that I could mail out info to. Has anyone been successful with this method? I am so sorry for all the questions. I have to make sureI make the right choice for myself, and my family. Again, any NJ reps out there I would loveto talk!!


Thank you all for the inspiration:)


Stacy

I am a new consultant with Arbonne. I love their products and what the company is about. I am finding that people are interested in it, but holding parties is not particulary popular with many people. This is what I did when I signed on. $29, $96 for the business aids, one RE9 system for myself and toshare with othersand an additional set of RE9 sample packs. I have invested $500, but you don't have to invest that much. People work this business in many different ways and I'm trying to do it as cheaply as I can. You have to have some products to show others. People love the idea of trying before you buy. Arbonne has amazing products and I love to show and get people involved in using them. I carry the hand cream around with me and have given it to moms at my kids extracurricular activites for them to try. They love the way it feels and smells. I don't push anyone to buy of course. But like I said, you can just come in at the $29 level or invest a little more to get some products.

Hello.. people do the business different ways. Some people like to have parties. I've had people say it's better because you get to reach more people at one time, plus there's more interaction and the women can socialize etc. The "puppies" are the RE9 sets that consultants buy to demo out. You drop off the puppy and pick it up in a couple of days. People like this approach because it's easy, drop off.. pick up and meet with the client for 20minutes or so and talk to them about the company and it's benefits. The puppy approach makes the business look easy and duplicatable, which is what you want to show people. You want them to see it's not hard to do what you do, so that they think that they can do it too and join your team! It all depends on what you want to do or what fits your life. That's whats so great about Arbonne (besides the phenomenal prodcuts). Good Luck!

We could all ask "Is Arbonne right for me?" I think the better
question is "Am I right for Arbonne?"


Am I willing to be a product of the product?


Am I willing to learn the program--the Arbonne way?


Am I willing to follow the program--the Arbonne way?


Am I willing to make a commitment and follow through with that
commitment no matter what?


Arbonne has already done its part; now what's left is for us to do
our part.


Just my two cents.
