I have a question for you ladies. A woman in town is trying to sell me Arbonne, which I'm interested in, but I have to admit, its kind of expensive to just up and try.
Anyway, she keeps asking me to buy stuff, which is okay, I understand being in sales. I asked her if she had any samples that I could try before I spend $200 on the skin care stuff she was trying to get me to buy. She said she sells all her samples on e-bay and that she was offended that I asked since it was like I didn't believe her that her product was a good one.
I was a little stunned. The Merle Norman rep still gives me samples when new colors comes in, and I've been buying from her for ages. I just had to ask. Is this normal procedure for Arbonne? Or is this lady just nuts?

She sounds alittle off....we are not supposed to sell on eBay as well!
I dont have any samples, but I am sure alot of gals online here will be more than willing to send you somesmileys/smiley2.gif.
I took the plunge and bought $100 worth 18 months ago, and I am still here...love the stuff.
Good luck to you!
P.S. You do not have to sign up with someone local...the internet is a great tool!

No, absolutely not normal procedure for Arbonne consultants. She could be "fired" as a consultant for selling samples on eBay.
Consultants do give out samples, but quite a lot of consultants actually loan out an entire set of full-sized products for theclient to try for a number of days.
She should really think about trying this method ... sounds like she needs some help. LOL smileys/smiley36.gif

Yep not normal. We are not allowed to sell on Ebay and I give sample packs to everyone. I have used the products for 15 yrs and know how good they are. Once you try them if you didn't like them or need to change your system (as people have different skin types) we have a 45 day guarentee. If you have any questions or would like to try a sample let me know.

Thanks everyone. Several of you have been nice enough to offer to send samples for me to try. Like I said, I was just pretty stumped. I went on E-Bay last night and found tons of people selling samples, so I guess thats where she got the idea.
And I'm not letting her affect my thoughts on the products and your company. One lady is kindly going to send me a sample and I'm going to try it with an open mind.
Thanks again!
