I'm considering a few different opportunities but, would like some feedback from those already doing Arbonne.



Thanks

I will send you some info via PM.

I'll try to keep it short and sweet! smileys/smiley2.gifFirst, find a great sponsor that you really click with and that you feel comfortable with. Make sure they are doing what is best FOR YOU and not what is good for them. Ask yourself what you want from the business and how much time you want to spend each week. There is different ways of doing the business if you are looking for an extra $500 a month, or if you really want to go all the way and make much more. Your sponsor should be able to give you a plan of action for reaching your goals, not a plan of action to push you too much.


Have you tried our products? I would stay to do that first and make sure you LOVE them! Its a much easier sell when you are passionate about the product.


I have been using the products for almost a year, and have been making a business out of it for the past several months. I am loving it! It is a wonderful company to work for! If you have any specific questions, I would love to help!

I will agree with Bbrown, make sure you find a sponsor(if you havent
already) that you really work well with. Also beware of those that
force you into doing things you cannot afford or uncomfortable with.
This goes for any business you may decide to start. A lot of times
people feel pressured into placing huge start up orders and they do it
even though they cant afford it, and later regret it. Of course, if you
can afford it and all that, go for it, that the faster you'll move!



Everyone works their business differently, have a game plan and work
it. Anyone can be successful with Arbonne if they just work at it. smileys/smiley1.gif

I sent you a PM earlier today after seeing your other post.


Good luck!!!!

I would say a couple things.


First, I love the ARbonne products, and I totally believe in the "Arbonne difference" Once I started researching ingredients ,I was so happy I found Arbonne. The prolief has been a life saver, and the baby products have helped my daughter's eczema entirely! The quality can't be compared.


I will also saythat Arbonne works for me because there is no inventory requirements, or even suggestions, and NO minimum orders to stay active. I am a homeschooling stay at home mom of four, and there are some months I just can't do the activity to get lots of orders. So I can take it at my own pace. I have not had any out of pocket costs since my first couple months (That I earned back right away) because of being able to reinvest my profits from parties, etc.


The off the top discount may not be as much as other companies, but I like the fact that if someone only wants $80 worth of stuff, I can order it at 35% off and get it sent straight to them. I have clients in other states and it is nice that I can order for them seperately and have it go right to them, no matter how big or small the order is.


Also, when I do have several outside orders, I can put them together and make more money that way, or order my stuff at 80% off for personal use.


I also like how easy it is to build a team of wholesale buyers that I then earn comission off of.


I have learned a lot about myself since becomeing more serious about building a business and it has been scary at times, but really, really good for me!


Good luck in your search!

Yikes, I can only imagine the number of PMs you are getting from the various companies! smileys/smiley3.gif


As always there has been some great thoughts given on Arbonne. I wanted to jump in & ask what it is that is important to you? There are so many businesses out there to choose from it is important to know what are deal makers & breakers for you. I think if we knew some more details on what you are curious about then we could give you more specifics about Arbonne.


I'll just throw out some generals.


Training. We have an impressive amount of training available to us. Arbonne puts new audio files online for us to listen to or download any time we like. They are in a variety of areas such as Leadership, products, building your business, self development & stepping up to management. They also provide Arbonne University which has various modules we can complete. All free of course.


Then there are several conference calls & trainings/meetings various leaders do that you can participate in.


Also, your sponsor will help you with your specific training & day to day activities to help you get started. Since it looks like you're doing research on a variety of companies I am going to venture to guess that you don't have an IC you are working with yet. If that is the case then be sure you find out what everyone's approach is regarding training. There is not one set way to do things in Arbonne so things like that will vary.


Approach There are different approaches to use for building a business in Arbonne. There is the REsults approach, Let's Go Shopping, Party system or a combination of one or two of them. This is not a one size fits all business. Different people are going to have different strengths. So ask questions so you can make sure you are being taught the approach that is right for you.


Products If you haven't tried the products it's important that you do. It's hard to share the product if you don't like them. Having a passion for what you are doing is so important in this business. There are going to be times you have rejections & that is when your passions & beliefs are important. We have over 350 products so there is a lot of stuff for people to choose from. Not everyone is going to love everything. You just gotta help them find which ones that they will love. In my family we use nothing else but Arbonne. I like that I can trust the ingredients & not have to worry about reading labels. I think the products work better than anything else I've ever used. And I get paid every time I use something. It's kind of fun to wash yourhair & think Cha ching, cha ching! smileys/smiley1.gif


This by no means is a get rich opportunity. It is a simple business but not an easy one. If you decide that Arbonne is a fit for you then fantastic! Be sure you find the sponsor who is also a great fit. If there is something you'd like to know about anything & it hasn't been covered yet by one of us then ask onthe boardor PM us. Everyone here is very helpful & supportive


Good luck in your search!
