hello !
I have posted in the MK board and now i will here. somewhere yesterday i found a message that contained a list of website for arbonne 'directors'. can someone direct me to that message>? i can't find it . I am researching the pros and cons of Arbonne compared to the MK biz opp. I live in a small city which is Pinked out to the max! and no Arbonne consultant nor meetings nor directors no nothing! ...
I am doing a comparison of both businesses and products. the only thing scary is that i would be in virgin territory when it comes to setting up Arbonne in my city. remember it is a Pink town here now! i guess that would be one of the questions, can you work your arbonne without having meetings, downlines, uplines close by support, and from scratch? what is YOUR success rate in something similar. I am not interested in knowing your upline's or your upline's upline's success but YOURS. thank you. yaraluna
PS: you can PM if you want.

I think I sent you a PM last week. Anyhow, I am not sure what you mean by directors? We have District Managers (which you will find a lot here) Area Managers (which I am and there are a few here), Regional Vice Presidents, and National Vice Presidents. Are those the "directors" you are referring to?
I can tell you that I have supported 2 people get their Arbonne businesses started from a distance. They are both doing well right now and they are building slowly, but surely.
I live in an area thatArbonne was in, but no one was really selling it. Until last year. Since thenwe have grown significantly and we have even hadlots of MK convert.
It will be a challenge with virtually no one in your area.....BUT it will make it that much more sweet when you start to grow.

Hi Yaraluna~
I sent you a PM.
I did a lot of research before joining Arbonne when I was trying to decide between it and MK. If you have any specific questions or want to know why I ended up choosing Arbonne, let me know. I think that both are good options...

Lucky you!!! I'd have to say GO FOR IT!!! Arbonne itself provides a tremendous amount of education so if you're alone you can still get the education you need. It may not be easy- but I'd LOVE to be in your shoes! I don't know if anyone has mentioned it but we have something called arbonne university where you can go online to get educated. It's great. They are modules that you work through teaching about the company, product knowledge, the industry, how to move from one level to the next... they are priceless!!! In addition there are learn and burns that you can download each week or get a subscription where they send you a cd each month. The nation I'm in - as most- hold weekly conference calls with more education and support so you can get on those from anywhere. May I ask what part of the country you're in? Please let me know if you have any further questions. I think you've got a gold mine and you should definitely go for it! :) Good luck!

Ditto Jen!!
Arbonne offers some may tools on line to learn about the products and the business. Your sponsor does not need to live near you for you to be successful! My sponsor does live near me but most of the consultant on my team are out of state. I keepa list of recorded conference calls on my website for my team to listen to. I stay in constant contact with them by phone or email to let them know about meetings in their area or training and just general support and motivation.
You could even hold your own Business opportunity meetings and training once you get a team going! I think its a great opportunity for you to be in a small town that is not familiar with Arbonne. You can open their eyes to a new way of thinking about their health and beauty products!!Go for it!!
Good luck with your decision!
I wish you the best of luck on your Arbonne journey!!
Hope to see you at the TOP!!
