keep any product on hand? I can see people wanting one "right now". My husband thinks I should, but would you send "their" order to them and pick up the new kit or send it to me and give them their free or(extra)items. I know other consultants in other companies who say they carry quite a bit of popular products because if they don't have it they might lose their clients to a drugstore, but then again I think those are retail customers so that would make a difference.


advice?


Thanks,


Melanie

I do keep product on hand. I usually buy a ton of the PWP's each month, and then just use those if people order them, rather than have to order or use them as hostess gifts. I also keep the Progesterone creams on hand because if people run out they don't want to wait a week to get more. I also like to keep shampoo and conditioner on hand...along with Aromatherapy products. These make great gifts so I love to have them on hand. Certainly a person would not have to do this...it's just my personal preference. I am careful to try to obey the 70% rule, though and not go crazy. One other thing I like to do is if I need one item that is in a set, I buy the set and then get the free gift that comes with the set and keep the other products on hand to sell individually.


I don't really keep them on hand to not lose customers...I do it so if someone orders one thing I don't have to place an order and pay $9.75 shipping for one item.

That we sell 70% of what we order.

from our Policies and Procedures:
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">


6.3. 70% Rule
In placing an Independent Consultant order with Arbonne International for product purchases, the Consultant certifies that he or she has sold at least 70% of any previously purchased products. Consultants should keep accurate records of monthly sales to specific consumers as proof of the 70% sales requirement. These records are subject to inspection by Arbonne upon reasonable notice. Consultants must provide their Clients with an Arbonne sales receipt. Consultants may duplicate this form and must provide one to the Client and retain a copy for their records. The Arbonne program is built upon sales to the end consumer. Consultants are strictly prohibited from purchasing products solely for the purpose of qualifying for discounts, bonuses, awards or advancement under the SuccessPlan. Consultants may not inventory load nor encourage others to inventory load.</BLOCKQUOTE>
