Hello I went to my first arbonne meeting last night and then today I was on the sebsite looking at some of the productsand acted like I was going to by something and a find a consultant tab came up if some random person looks for some arbone are they paired up with a consulant.


Plus what is this business builder stuff they never mentioned that they said just get the 4 pack and take them to 4 people and when you go to pick it up ask them if they would like to know more about the arbonne opp.


oh yea one moreI sell with another company at the moment and I started with a completly cold market how could I do that with arbonne. I know must companies tell you to start with a warm market but I do better with stangers so is there a way to do that with arbonne.





thanks


I will ask the person that took me to the meeting if you don't want to tell me this but she is out of town right now and I was just wondering I am adding this cuase that seems to be what you tell newer people oh yea and do the catalogs ever change.

Hi,


I'll do my best to answer...I don't quote understand all of your questions, but here goes.


1. Yes, you can only purchase product through an independent consultant. Isn't that great!?


2. If you sign up with Arbonne, and choose to be a business builder using the results approach, you could buy 4 RE9 sets with samples .Find 4 people who are willing to try the products exclusivley for a few days. You'd themleave the set with them for 3 days, and at the (pre-arranged) pick up meeting, you would go through the results approach presentation (available to consultants on the Arbonne website) to teach them about how they can earn an income with Arbonne and use the products in their own home. They may have not used the words "business builder" but that is one way you can build an Arbonne business


3. If you prefer a cold market approach, go for it! Many people have found success approacing Salons, Dr.'s offices etc. Other's prefer sharing with friends and family. One of the great things about this business is thatit is totally up to you how you reach out and build a client base or team.


Hope that helps.

Ok, I am confused, and partly because I am not a rep. But, the lady that dropped off the RE9 set to me did not give me samples. She gave me the set to try. So, is she just using the full sized set as her sample, and if I wanted to order I would?????

Hi Debbie


Many consultants let people try the full size set to sample so they see what they will be getting. If you wanted to order, she would order you a brand new set, unless the one she gave you was new when you received it. Some consultants give samples, some give the full set to sample

Sorry if I confused you.http://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif


Some give the set with samples, some just give the set. Arbonne recommends the giving thesets with samples, but since the results approach is still evolving, there are differences in the way people are trained to do it. My preference is to give the set with samples, becasue I don't wantto re-use the full size set if the person doesn't buy it. Since the containers are metered, many people don't mind re-using the sets. They just clean them up and put them out again. Until Arbonne does more than recommend( if they start to require)using samples, I think many people just put out the full size sets and have prospects use them.
