I just signed uplate last month to be a wholesale buyer with Arbonne. I have intentions of becoming an Arbonne consultant but I dont think that I understand the groundwork. I understand the PUP approach but I guess I dont understand how you move up and where you go. Also haveany of youever came across someone who is just not interested even after they have demo'd the RE9? Do most potential clients purchase the RE9s? I guess I'm worried about the people looking at the cost. Yes the product is great but even at the wholesale price it's a littleexpensive for most of the people I know. If potential clients dont purchase this do they normally purchase other items? Any input is really appreciated.
Thank you,
Shelly

Hi Shelly, I thought the products were too expensive when I first started, but I was very suprised that the people you least expect to purchase are the ones who do. The most improtant thing is to belive in the products because people will see how passionate you are about them they will be excited to try them,and once they have tried them thy will be willing to pay to get them. Not everyone will of course, but there is something for everyone and every budget. Its important to get your upline to explain how to move up the ladder, its is a very simple plan and it works. Hope that helped a bit!

Just a note, you're alreadya consultant. If you paid the $29 to sign up with Arbonne you are a full consultant. The next level is District Manager. You move up based on the sales volume under you. I guess the difference between a wholesale buyer and business builder is one just wants to buy for themselves and the other wants to make money. But either way with Arbonne you are a consultant so you can start working the business anytime at any level and grow your business.

I haven't even started Arbonne yet, but I wanted to add: There are people out there selling $300 flip flops, and people are buying them!!! There is a market for everyone and everything and I agree, often it's the onesyou least expect who buy the most, no matter the cost. I know it'shard but one of the most important things is not to pre-judge. I admit, I do it with my other Direct Sales company too.
Believing in the product will help with this as well b/c you won't feel like you are ripping people off - you are really giving them a gift!
Hope that helped!

Thank you all for your replys. I think I am just in the nervous stage of starting and not knowing how well I'll do. Even my husband says you may not be able to sell as well as the others so don't expect too much. But like the Arbonne CD says, I'm not going to let him be my dream snatcher. Even the lady I work with says that she feels it is hard to see someone making that much money at Arbonne. I guess I will have to do my best to show them! Reading the message boards helps alot.

Many people will try to tell you that this is not a good idea, guess what ,when you get that White Mercedes and are making a decent income they will come back. They will be the first to say"I knew you could do it" Arbonne is a great company to be a part of and the compensation plan is great. If you want it you can have it. Do not let others discourage you, they are the ones that are afraid to step outside thier comfort zone and take a chance. Good luck
