Hi all!





I just began Arbonne this month and have had a great month. Won't make first step DM, but did well.


Anyway, my question is this. I am going to write a letter to everyone I know and just say hey, I am doing this now...Would you like to book a party, etc. Does anyone have a sample letter so I won't have to recreate the wheel?


Thanks for all your help! I am SO excited!

Hi Tanya,



Good luck with your new business! I cut an pasted this from Jamie
Kanner's website . It is a sample letter to friends and
family. Hope it helps you.

Family &amp; Friends:


As
2004 gets underway, I wanted to let you know about an exciting new
adventure I’ve embarked upon. I’ve decided to start my own business.
But not just any business. I have discovered a terrific line of
skincare, cosmetic and nutrition products manufactured by Arbonne
International, a Swiss-based company, that gives me the chance to
leverage my entrepreneurial interests but at a pace that complements
and fits with the rest of my life. Not only am I having a ton of fun,
I’m truly excited to tell people about these pure, botanically-based
products – all of which are designed to counteract the impact of time
and environmental stresses on our skin and enables our bodies to
holistically navigate the hormonal changes and imbalances so many of us
experience.


I am only sending this note to my close
personal friends and relatives so I know your initial reaction may be,
“Is she nuts? How could Pamela possibly have time for another
commitment?” And, if I weren’t so incredibly excited about these
products and impressed by the company and caliber of people I've met,
I'd tend to agree. However, I’m convinced opportunities like this
don’t come along everyday so I have decided it’s time to put my
creativity and marketing skills back to work. My goals are simple. I
wish to earn enough to buy me the flexibility to spend more time with
my children and achieve the financial freedom that, with my traditional
corporate job alone, remains just beyond my reach.


So, here’s where you come in.


In addition to your moral support, there are many ways you can help me get this business off the ground.


1)
First, if you or someone you know might be interested in joining me on
this exciting and lucrative journey, don’t delay. Please have them
contact me by phone () or email () right away. Arbonne offers terrific
opportunities and incentives for entrepreneurial-minded people to get a
business up and running without requiring them to make a huge upfront
investment or compromise their lifestyle and personal priorities.


2)
Second, these products are not available through retail channels but
rather, are shared primarily via home-based classes/parties or personal
introduction.I hope you will be willing to help me achieve my personal goal of conducting twelve classes in the next two months.
I promise very little is required on your part and I assure you, a hard
sell approach is not my style. I will plan to call you in the next
week to talk about when you might be able to gather a few friends
together for about an hour to hear more about these breakthrough
products.


3) Third, I’ve enclosed a catalogue (and some
additional information) to help acquaint you with what Arbonne is all
about. If you know of others who may have interest in seeing one,
please let me know and I’ll be happy to forward another on.


4)
And, finally, even if you personally have no interest in trying
something new, I know all of you have a large and diverse range of
friends who might be interested in learning more about how to: look
younger, feel better or join me on my journey towards financial peace.
If you’d be kind enough to share these leads with me, I promise to
handle them with extra special care.


Thanks so much for
your interest, your support and most importantly, your friendship.
I’ll look forward to speaking with each of you soon to see what you
think and to hear more about what you and your families have in store
for 2004.


With Warmest Regards and Best Wishes for a Great New Year,</td></tr></t>
