Is it normal for a consultant's sponsor to take over when it comes to getting orders after a party when it is left open for guests who are trying samples, etc.?
Also, should all sign ups go under the consultant having the party or the sponsor?

Just curious!

It should be normal if she is showing you how to do the orders. But you should be the sponsoring person if it's your party. Please don't tell me she robbed youhttp://www.wahm.com/forum/smileys/smiley21.gif

I know how to do the orders. I know of one person at the party she signed up and not under me.

i think we need more information. If you are just learning & she is showing you then that is fine. Also all sells should go to you minus whatever product of hers you used. And all new sign ups definitely go to you since it's your party. If not then report it immediatly.

This was my third party. I have already placed the orders from some of her guests so she could get her first round of $100 for $20. I'll admit I'm not as experienced and don't have as much product to show such as makeup, but I always have plenty of samples and catalogs. I feel like she has taken over and has been in contact with the hostess and her guests like it was her party. I know the hostess is totally confused and so am I. I also feel like it makes me look bad.

Have you asked her about this yet? I would definitely address this with her either that or don't involve her anymore and I would report her as well.

I agree with Bridget. Anyone that signed up at the party should be under your name. The sales should go to you as well. It's your party.


I would talk to your sponsor about itjust to make sure you aren't missing anything as far as why she would be taking people from your party. If she doesn't give you a good answer,I would confront it. If she still has no response,I would tell her that you will be reporting her to Arbonne and you think she is being unethical.

Sooner, sorry to hear your having an issue like this. How do you feel about the rest of your upline? If, after talking to your sponsor, you still feel the is an issue then you can always go up the chain of command. Be sure to document everything you do incase you do need to escalate it to home office.


Good luck!
