I have a wholesale account with Arbonne, because I use some of their
products that are not available through Jafra. I have had this
account since 2001.
But that is not what I wanted to share.
I wanted to share that when you are feeling frustrated and think that
your area is over saturated with Arbonne consultants, do not
despair! Just keep doing your business and look at a little town
in California called Hanford. Hanford is a very</span>
small farming town in the central valley in California. There are
literally hundreds of Arbonne consultants and wholesale buyers
there. It is also the home of NVP Kristen Vander Veen, ERVP Kelly
Silva and RVP Tory Brandt as well as numerous DM's and AM's.
My point here ladies, is there is no such thing as over saturation!
There is always someone to share products with and there are always
going to be no's in your business, but there are also going to be yes's.
The trick is to keep going after you get the no!
I just find places like Hanford, CA very inspiring for ANYONE who is in
direct sales and multi-level marketing and I wanted to share that with
you all.

I remember the first time I was allowed to go out trick-or-treating on
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Halloween night with just my friends. (Of course I'm sure my Dad
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">was following along at a safe distance but he'll neither confirm not
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">deny that accusation!) Our mission was a singular one - get as much
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">candy as possible in the shortest amount of time. In other words,
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">I wanted my big plastic orange pumpkin overflowing with goodies.
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">We literally ran from house to house as we scoured our neighborhood
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">intent upon our goal. On occasion, we approached a house, rang the
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">bell, and nothing happened. The lights were on but no one answered
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">the door. Put in that situation, what do most kids do? They move on
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">to the next house. "Come on, let's go" and they're headed down the
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">block. They don't stop for a second to wonder why the owners didn't
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">answer the door. They don't take it personally. They don't think that
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">they're wearing the wrong costume. They don't walk around the
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">house peering in the window trying to see why the owners didn't
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">answer the doorbell. They don't sit down on the front step and pout.
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">And can you even imagine that they would just quit and go home?
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">No way. You see, kids are neat people to observe with regard to how
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">they handle rejection. It just never occurs to them that the rejection
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">is about them! And why? Because it's not. Kids have a unique ability
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">to observe the world just the way it is. As we grow up, our self-esteem
<DIV dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">takes a few hits and we start to think that everything that happens to
