I'm looking for people to join my team and am looking for any ideas on how to promote it to others.

I started my Arbonne business almost a year ago and it's going great! I did not invest any money (other then the $29 start up cost) and earned my products through holding several launch parties. Start with your friends and family. Then, branch out and start asking for referrals. This is a business. Just like with anything else, it's going to take work. However, I LOVE the work and find it very rewarding. If people get into this business and hope to sit back and let their team take them to the top, it's not going to go very well. That only happens to lucky people! :-) Be a product of your product and stay in constant activity. Continue to network and share your products and opportunity. Duplicate yourself and teach and train your team to be successful and positive.

Arbonne is a multi level marketing business. Pyramid schemes are illegal and look a little something like corporate America with only 1 president or CEO and everyone else underneath. With Arbonne, everyone has the same opportunity to work their way up to the top. Pyramid's are businesses where only money exchanges hands. These are scams! Like you know, Arbonne has over 350 consumable products. Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump just published an article on multi level marketing and the benefits of getting involved! You should check it out!

If Arbonne did not have great products, a great successplan, or a great opportunity it would not be as successful as it is today, 27 years after it was brought to the US. We've grown over 111% every year since 2002 with 164% growth in 2005 over 2004. We more then surpassed that half way through 2006. You'll do great! Stay positive! I'm here if you have any questions. Good luck!

Have you looked on ebay?
Please check out how many of those products are on there....
I would be against that idea due to what appears to be market saturation.
The 7 piece set (my mother wanted one)
was $250 according to the sales lady.
I bought a set on ebay for $99.00 including shipping charges. Well needless to say, the lady that was selling them was quite pissed (I did not know her so I didnot care) that we found the product so much cheaper. If it were a $20.00 or so difference then I would have probably had my mother buy it from the lady in front of her but $150 savings on the same ITEM was a bit more than I could watch her loose!)
I have to assume that I am not alone in that feeling.
SO if you can get into the business just to supply yourself at a discount then it might work but to sell to others I would be against that just because if you have any computer savy clients there will be no repeat business. Get out before this ruins your entire life... people that are in your uplight will start to make you feel like you are a failure if you cant move that stuff. Friends and family dont want to come toyour parties anymore because they dont like the idea of having to BUY your friendship.
Have you noticed that the arbonne reps, eat sleep and drink this product.
SUre you might get a few people to buy it during one of your parties but the real money is to have people working under you...you get them to see the light and you can all sell your way into riches!
It does not happen for many
and ifyou were to do time invested (calling friends hosting parties) and divide that by actual profit, I woudl think that it would be like 1 dollar a day! You would have a better return on your investments if you mow lawns

We were in that and it flopped. Don't let them B.S. you by saying it's not a pyramid because it truly is. You may get a few people under you, but you're completely dependant upon them. If they drop out you flop - period - end of story - and you're out your investment. Sure we sold a few items, but good luck getting people to invest the big bucks like you did. You need to find the people who are looking for a home based business because if they're not actively looking it's a hard sell to convince someone to spend the money. You always hear of the success stories - the $86,000 yr, the Mercedez, the homes, the boats, but have you ever met any one of them? How many meetings have you been to where one of those people are there? Look for Arbonne on eBay and you'll see people dumping their inventories. Good luck with this. I hope you do well. It's not the cake walk they make it out to be.

No, Sorry Not interested. I'm a consultant with Purse Party and it's going really great for me. I have no problem promoting my stuff or getting people to join b/c everyone just asks me! Where did you get that purse...where did you get that necklace! It sells itself!
