I am thinking of becoming a consultant for the Arbonne company. Has anyone heard about it? Is anyone a consultant? Is it really worth it? I am a stay at home mom and I have used the Arbonne baby products and I love them. I also use the products myself and the benifits are starting to show.
I am wondering if it is worth going for it and also if anyone has any helpful info on starting?

I've heard of Arbonne, and like any of the other work at home companies, Mary Kay, etc. they can be very profitable. But you have to really work it. They never really worked for me because I don't like to feel like a pest, asking people to have parties in their home etc. I'm not much on sales, I've been a hair stylist for 15 years, and I love my job. I love the beauty industry and Arbonne definitely has GREAT products. So, it's very personal whether this is the choice for you. You will be investing some money and you have to feel comfortable approaching people with a sales pitch. If this is something you ARE comfortable with...then Go For It! If you feel timid about it, like I did, it's just not a good match. So, think about what it will entail, how much time away from home in the evenings and whether you can handle a lot of "no" before you get a "yes". Do you have support of your husband or partner in this business? That will help a lot and they can keep you motivated!
Good luck figuring out if it's for you and if it IS, I hope you are very prosperous in your new adventure!
Take care!

I started it and I hated it. Well, I see some people being very successful doing it, but it's not for everyone. I didn't like being laughed at my face (and a lot of people will), I didn't like hearing "no" all the time. When you find your own partners to work with, they are not fully committed. I bought sets in order to promote them, but then I just sold them on e-bay (because nobody wanted to buy them). What I would recommend is to sign up as a consultant (it's only $30), and try selling products. Don't buy sets, but ask your manager to lend you some at first. My manager had 20 of them! If you like the business, then that's great! If you think it's not for you, then you don't lose that $30 because you can buy the products that you need yourself with 30% off! Either way, you win.

I went to an arbonne thing and its called f.y.i (for young individuals) and it was pretty cool. My friend and I saw all the make-up and facial stuff. I really liked their products. I think its worth becoming a consultant.

Arbonne is AWESOME...being a consultant is even better BECAUSE you don't have to go to meetings, they send you free products, you get their products cheeper AND their products ROCK...my mom has been a consultant for what seems like forever and anytime i need a refil, she orders it for me at half the price. it's TOTALLY worth it!!! if you want to start, well, contact arbonne or contact a arbonne consultant that you know near you...if you have a freind who sells it, they can give you papers to start...if you go to arbonne parties, they give out information there...if you need anymore information, contact me!

In my experience, the company is not a reputable one even though the products are good. I will never do business with them again.
