Arbonne??? - 11-11-09, 04:36 PM

Hey,

I have been asked to become a rep for Arbonne, just wondered if any of you buy/sell arbonne products and your thoughts on the brand?

As im a mobile tan tech i get to speak to alot of people and thought it might be a great way to make sum extra cash on top of my tanning?

Is it worth it?? What do u think?

I wouldn't sell a product that in turn my client could also sell herself.

I find the products are overpriced for their quality.

You will have the person you signed under up your rear all the time pushing you to sell.

couldn't agree more. This is no professional product - any lay person can sell it for goodness sake!

Kimberely, I posted a similar question a few months back...and boy did I wish I hadn't. There are some very strong views and your original question is completely ignored. Strange opinions from people that have never even used the product or know anything about the company??

My advice is to ask your potential sponser for a sample of the products for you to try yourself at home and take some time to research the product and the company, the website is excellent www.arbonneinternational.co.uk.

I have recently become an Arbonne Consultant and stock the products in my salon...my clients love the products and the incentives. The products are certainly not overpriced and in my opinion it is a very professional product and a professional company.

If you need any advice or have any questions, please feel free to pm me.

There is a lot of things to consider and it might not necessarily suit you, but take time out to make your own opinion. Im so glad I did.

I am sorry stoney, there is no way to be nice about this, everyone did answer you last time but you have a problem.

You were obviously already involved with this, all you wanted us to do is confirm your choice, we all answered the question.

You had selective listening and waited and waited until someone told you the answer you wanted to hear.

This did not happen, I suggest any to search the word arbonne and they will see, you are not being fair on others saying this, the truth was told in the last post, selective listening was used.

What exactly is not fair about advising someone to research a product.
You have your opinions, and I have mine. Yes I am guilty of selective hearing, I only listen to people that talk facts!

I am not going to defend myself or my decisions to you, or anyone else, I researched the product and decided it was for me. I suggest it is you who has the problem, and should come down from your 'ethical' high horse.

I also suggest you change your signature, you appear to be very biased. Have you actually had a bad experience with Arbonne products, or the company? Has someone stolen money from you? I doubt it.

All I can advise is as a dermatology consultant nurse, (I think I can safetly say I do have some knowledge re skin and associated products)! I would not recommend these products.

Not a personal thing. X
Please elaborate, why exactly wouldn't you recommend these products? Is there a dermatological reason? They are hypoallergenic, botanically based and contain no mineral oil.....if you have information to the contrary, then please advise. The last thing I would want is to harm my clients

SusanEvian and Daisyl , I couldn't agree more.

On the skincare side, one can purchase a professional product that is better and for less money than this.

On the business side, our clients come to us to find the best products for them, how can they trust our judgement when we are selling them skincare that anyone can sell them? Why would I want to buy this product from someone at retail price when I know I can sign up myself and pay close to wholesale price?

Isn't it much nicer to make a reservation in a fancy restaurant with specialty chefs cooking with the best ingredients who truly understand how and why different ingredients work well together to make the tastiest meal, rather than waiting in line at the local fast food chain with just anyone serve you a meal that looks good, is either microwaved or fried, and can only tell you it came mailed to them frozen in a box?

They came into my work and tried to get us in on it. Left some samples etc.
I thought about using it for mobile but it didnt come across as very professional. It costs a fortune for what it is really and for retail you'd be lucky if you made 20%.
So just my opinion but defo no no from me xxx

I like Arbonne products - especially their C-vitamin range. There is a lot of money to be made if you treat it as a business and of course the more people on board, the more money the first person makes. I like the packaging and if I am correct it IS different to pyramid selling.

I think it's more a retail like as opposed to treatment line so you dont have to be a professional to sell it. Well that's my 2p anyway.

Was surprised to see some of the comments. I can assure you Lisa is not 'stoned'....
