I am going to start this off where it began for me. The first step I took when I started my Arbonne journey and listened to a 'Discover Arbonne' Presentation. In our industry of Direct Selling and Mass Level marketing (Think of a large company like Coca-Cola and all the area/regional/district/executive vice presidents/CEO's/CFO of each department - marketing, branding, taste, research & development, community outreach - now take away the walls & Billions of dollars for advertising, endorsements and legal departments then you have a direct selling company. Now take all of that wasted money on advertising and move it into research & development and product quality and sell it at an incredible price, now you have Arbonne) there are A LOT of negative comments towards MLM. Most of these bad impressions are the fault of the upline and consultants who are far too pushy and 'sell the dream' of owning your own business as an opportunity to make 5 figures with 10 hour work weeks! IMPOSSIBLE Imagine opening up a franchise like a McDonalds, putting in $2,000,000 to operating costs, leases, staff, training, products & Marketing and paying your 20% franchise fee on-top of your initial investment; and then quitting 2 months in when you are not making $4,000,000 each month. You then turn to the internet to whine about how McDonalds is a pyramid scheme, its founder and corporate executives are the only ones making money and that it was all a lie! It does not happen, and that is truthfully because the people who franchise these opportunities understand business or want to and understand that after a couple years of hard work and a few franchise locations they will be OK and it will be worth the investment!
Arbonne is an opportunity, a franchise, that is more readily available because your initial investment is only $99 plus whatever products you can afford (you can always borrow from your upline as a good one will treat you like the company founders mantra, like a family), this is both a blessing and a curse as all marketing is not good marketing. The people who 'get it' will work hard for it and be so thankful that they were gifted this opportunity and the people who don't will be upset by the results and by there own motivations and outcomes.
My only wish was that I understood business more when I first heard about this opportunity 5+ years ago, but I know enough about business now to know it is never too late to start!
Here is a great video that will hopefully explain more -
