“God’s Promises Devotional Journal” Book Review

“God’s Promises Devotional Journal” is a devotional that spans 365 days. Each page has a devotion with a question for you to answer in the journal section on the page. The devotions are taken from books by authors such as Sarah Young, Max Lucado, Sheila Walsh, David Jeremiah, John MacArthur, Billy Graham and many others. The cover art on the book is gorgeous and inviting.I love the layout of each page. There is a bible verse to start the page, a short devotional, and then the thought provoking question with space to journal. Each page is dated, which makes it easy to stay on track and remember where you are and to get caught up if you miss a day or two. The book is hardcover and durable which is great for preserving the book to look back on later in life.

*This book was sent to me by the Thomas Nelson Publishing company through their BookSneeze program in exchange for honest review.

Questions from April 12th Giveaway

Wende Shull Sampson What sets Arbonne apart from all the other skin care professionals out there, for example, Mary Kay?
Our ingredients and our heritage. Arbonne is a product that first was developed in Switzerland and our Research and Development Lab is still there. We adhere to the European Standards for the beauty industry, which are much higher than those set forth by the FDA in the US. We also don’t used petroleum based ingredients (from crude oil), parabens, pthalates, PABA, formaldehyde-donating preservatives, or any animal products or by-products. (Certified Vegan). The problem with many other companies are the ingredients that they use. Their products are less effective and many of the ingredients are known carcinogens or cause other health issues. They are able to use these because the FDA hasn’t banned them. The European Union has banned 1000′s of chemicals, while the US has banned about 8 for beauty products. They continue to use these ingredients because they are cheaper, and it makes their products cheaper, but they are also of lesser quality. Here is a chart that ranks beauty companies.

Sarah Houston this looks so perfect,there has to be a catch.my question is: is there a catch? please be honest
The only catch is that you get what you put into it. It is work and those who work hard are going to see the rewards. Those who sign up and then don’t do anything, obviously aren’t working at it. But for those who jump in and are coachable and ready to make things happen, it is such a blessing. The time freedom is amazing, and the financial rewards are as well. The only things that get in the way are fear and laziness. If people are willing to work through those, they can be successful.

Hallonia Smith From the very beginning of this video I saw that a MAN actually came up with Arbonne…Is there any reason why he did it? Maybe a person who inspired him? I just thought it was weird that a man would make beauty products for women. =)
I’m not sure who his inspiration was, but he wanted to create safe products for women, and he loved the US. He and his family were from Norway, but he so strongly believed in the freedoms in the US that he started his business there. Since then, Arbonne has spread to Canada, Australia, and the UK. His wife attended our 2010 conference in celebration of our 30 Year Anniversary and it was amazing to hear from her.

Jenn Walker It seems to good to be true, does it really work?
I’m going to copy the answer I gave Sarah, because her question was similar. I’m also going to add that Arbonne has 31 years experience and has so many programs to reward their consultants and make them successful. We’re a different culture than a lot of the companies that are out there today. The only catch is that you get what you put into it. It is work and those who work hard are going to see the rewards. Those who sign up and then don’t do anything, obviously aren’t working at it. But for those who jump in and are coachable and ready to make things happen, it is such a blessing. The time freedom is amazing, and the financial rewards are as well. The only things that get in the way are fear and laziness. If people are willing to work through those, they can be successful.

Morgan Rayl I know Arbonne has baby products, Do they carry a man’s line?
Yes, we have a men’s skin care line, plus many products that are great for men or women. Arbonne also has a nutrition line, spa line, aromatherapy line, and so much more. You can view products at www.megancurtis.myarbonne.com by clicking on Shop Online.

Crystal Merkle Looks like people is living it up selling this product. It looks like a huge company, but I have to say I’ve never heard of it.. Approx. how many people are involved with this company??
I’m not sure the number of consultants that are with Arbonne. We have a lot of Consultants and a lot of Preferred Clients (Discount Buying Program). In the US, we have around 420 consultants at the National Vice President level, 730 at the Regional Vice President Level, 2300 at the Area Manager level, and 7700 at the District Manager level. This doesn’t include consultants who haven’t promoted to a manager level yet. We have been around since 1980, but still only have a 1% recognition rate in the US. We sell an average of $500 million each year even with that low recognition rate.We are getting ready to go to $2 billion a year by 2015.

Paige Kelley Is it possible to support yourself selling Arbonne or do you need another income? And do you use their products personally? I feel you can better recommend what you use yourself daily Thanks!
Yes, Arbonne is my full time income. My husband works as well, but in the next couple years we are looking for him to retire. When someone signs up as a consultant, our goal is to help them promote to District Manager in their first 3 months. At District, the average is from $250/month up to $1500/month. Then we work on going to Area, which is $1500 – $4500 a month average. Yes, these are the only products that we use in our home. We use the nutrition line daily as well as the vitamins and supplements. In our shower, everything is Arbonne…shampoo, conditioner, soap, face wash, sea salt scrubs, shave gel, and more. We don’t use any other company. If Arbonne provides it, we use it. When Arbonne doesn’t have a product, such as deodorant, we shop in a store, but are very picky about what we use. We avoid all of the things that Arbonne does not use, such as parabens, mineral oil, formaldehyde-donating preservatives, etc.

Amanda Paige Noack What is your favorite product? And more info on the baby line would be great! Thanks
This is by far the toughest question. lol. For me, I would say my RE9 Advanced Skin Care Set, but if I have to pick just one product in the set it would be the Smoothing Facial Cleanser. Without it my face breaks out like crazy. For my husband, his pick is the Joint Supplement because he works with his hands daily and they ache if he doesn’t take his joint supplement. My pick for him would be the Omega-3 supplement because his family has a history of high cholesterol.
We have 5 baby products. Diaper Rash Creme, Baby Oil, Baby Sunscreen, Baby Shampoo/Wash, and Baby Lotion. Arbonne’s Baby Care line is extremely gentle and adheres to all of our ingredient policies. It doesn’t contain any mineral oil or any preservatives that release formaldehyde. It is also very effective. The majority of main stream products for babies really aren’t safe. I posted this article the other day. It talks about some of the chemicals that were found in baby care off the shelves of stores. The chemicals found in these products can cause skin conditions, cancer, and many other health problems. Here is the article: http://consumerist.com/2009/03/baby-products-now-with-formaldehyde.html

Nicole Dilley Do they carry mens products?
Yes, we have a men’s skin care line, plus many products that are great for men or women. Arbonne also has a nutrition line, spa line, aromatherapy line, and so much more. You can view products at www.megancurtis.myarbonne.com by clicking on Shop Online.

Mary Mcmenamy do you carry bath products talcs
We don’t have talcs, but we do carry soaps, lotions, bath salts, and scrubs, as well as hair products. You can view products at www.megancurtis.myarbonne.com by clicking on Shop Online.

Belinda Banks-Gresham why is it so expensive?
Because of the ingredients we use. They are more expensive than the ingredients that are harmful for you, such as mineral oil, parabens, etc. We don’t use any fillers, which makes the products extremely concentrated. What that means is they last longer. On average, the RE9 Advanced line lasts 5-7 months. Generally the eye creme and toner run out first in month 5, and then the others start to run out in months 6/7. So, although it is more upfront, it lasts longer than most of what you’d buy in a store or from other companies.

Michelle Kennon Do you carry items for sensitive skin
Yes, all of our products are formulated for sensitive skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and the only products that I notice a slight reaction with are the RE9 Serum and the SeaSource Mud Mask. The serum just makes my face red for about 30 mins, but that is because it is designed to break down the “bonds” that are holding the dead skin to your fresh skin underneath. The mud mask is a thermal mask, so it warms up. Sometimes this irritates my skin a bit and other times I don’t notice it at all. We have over 500 products though, and these are the only 2 that I’ve noticed any reaction to.

Michael Sweeny What makes your baby products more safe/effective then others? My little girl is my life so why shou dI trust your product inplace of another?
Arbonne asks that consultants not say anything that is demeaning towards other companies, so I am going to be respectful of that and word this as kindly as I can. Arbonne’s Baby Care line is extremely gentle and adheres to all of our ingredient policies. It doesn’t contain any mineral oil or any preservatives that release formaldehyde. It is also very effective. As far as comparing it to other products, take a minute to read this article and draw your own conclusions. http://consumerist.com/2009/03/baby-products-now-with-formaldehyde.html

Answers from April 5th Giveaway

Sarah Houston how long does it take to be successful in that business?i have a 18 months old son,jason,and i would love to do something from home.that way i can make money AND spend time with my son and i dont have to put him in daycare
It depends on the person. I’ve had some consultants who jump in and really take off and others who go at a slower pace. It really depends on what each person is wanting and looking for. Arbonne has a program that they introduced back in September that takes new consultants from Start to District Manager level in 3 months if they choose to follow the plan. Arbonne gives $700 in free product to consultants that “graduate” the program. As a District Manager, the average pay is between $250 and $1500 a month.

Angela Phillips how long has arbonne been in business?
31 years.

Tya Claudia Wilson wondering if Arbonne is safe for expecting/nursing mom?
Our skincare, cosmetics, etc are. You would want to consult with your doctor before using any of the nutrition products, just to be on the safe side. Arbonne provides full ingredient lists for all of their products, which makes it easy to print them off and take in to the doctor.

Penny Haywood Pierce How much is the inital investment to get started?
The starter kit is $109. Some people will sign up and get their kit and then begin taking orders. Others who are on a strict budget will start collecting orders to pay for the starter kit.Basically, we collect orders to pay for your sign up. When a new consultant signs up, Arbonne lets them purchase $350 in product and then pick out $350 in free product. This is optional, but most people use it because it lets them get $700 in product at 50% off instead of the normal 35%. Some people will sell $350 and choose $350 in free product for themselves. What I do with new consultants who aren’t wanting the $109 to come out of their pocket, is have them sell $700 in product and then place it under that special order. They end up with around $350 profit. They use $109 to pay for the sign up fee and can keep the rest or use it to place an order for themselves. Hope that makes sense. I have a new consultant in Alaska that we are doing this with right now.

Heather Cruz Is arbonne safe on sensitive skin? My face breaks out easily if a moisturizer is too oily and will flake if a face wash doesn’t have enough..lol
Yes, our products work well with sensitive skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and the only products that I notice a slight reaction with are the RE9 Serum and the SeaSource Mud Mask. The serum just makes my face red for about 30 mins, but that is because it is designed to break down the “bonds” that are holding the dead skin to your fresh skin underneath. The mud mask is a thermal mask, so it warms up. Sometimes this irritates my skin a bit and other times I don’t notice it at all. We have over 500 products though, and these are the only 2 that I’ve noticed any reaction to.

Jennifer Aufrecht Arce Does the shakes really work?
Yes, they can be used as meal replacements, or for people wanting to gain weight, you can add them to a meal for extra protein. Here is a video with some great testimonials. http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=1827229042966

Erin Bullis how quickly do you get your initial investment back?
It depends on the person. Some people choose to get it back their first month. The cost to start is $109. When you sign up, Arbonne gives you an option to Buy $350, Get $350 for free. Some will sell $350 and then pick $350 in free product for themselves. Others will sell $700 and place it under that order, so they get $350 of it for free, which means they made a $350 profit.

Jessica Gonzalez are there products for baby?
Yes, we have baby oil, baby hair & body wash, baby lotion, diaper rash creme, and baby sunscreen. The Baby line is called ABC which stands for Arbonne Baby Care.

Dayna Winge With a lot of people using cloth diapers, including myself, is the diaper rash cream cloth diaper safe?
The Diaper Rash Creme contains zinc to repel moisture, so it will build up in cloth diapers over time. A friend of mine sells cloth diapers and she uses a fleece liner in between the baby and the diaper. That keeps the creme on the baby and off the diaper so that she can still use a diaper rash creme that is free of petroleum ingredients.

Brittany Riley do you do anyhting to try to advertise? ive never heard of these products till recently
Arbonne doesn’t advertise in magazines, tv, etc. Most of our advertisement is word of mouth. By not paying for advertising, they are able to give more compensation to their consultants and put more money back into product development to keep creating new products that are superior. Personally, I do booths locally to advertise. At my booths, I have a drawing for a free chocolate spa party for them and 8 friends. That allows me to call up those who entered and book a party with them and their friends. I also use my Facebook page. My clients are really my best advertising though. Most people get compliments on their skin within weeks of switching to Arbonne’s skin care lines. They either send their friends to me to order, or they decide to become consultants themselves and their friends order through them. Either way it grows my business.

Cindy Pate Simpson whats your top seller?
The RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care line.

Answers from April 4th Giveaway

Debra Diriwachter Do you have anything for dry skin thats also wont make me break out im prone to to breaking out besides dry skin
Arbonne’s products are mineral oil free, so don’t lead to breakouts like many other brands do. There is also a chance of breaking out when you switch skin care because you are cleaning the impurities out of the skin, but for those that do break out, it clears up in a week or two. We have 2 main skin care lines; RE9 Advanced is our Anti-Aging line and FC5 is our more basic line. Both have solutions for dry skin.

Brittany Riley is your product considered organic?
Arbonne does not use 100% organic ingredients because some of the ingredients are not available in an organic form. We do choose organic whenever it is available, and we have an organic farm in Switzerland where we grow the ingredients for our cosmetics. The beauty industry isn’t regulated like the food industry is, so even products that say natural or organic on their packaging aren’t always 100% organic. They just have to contain some ingredients that fit that qualification to be able to claim it. Arbonne has open ingredient sheets that are available to any client that wants to see them. https://arbonne.com/products/index.asp

Maddison Paige do you like giving stuff away and making your fans super happy?!
I do!!!

RuthieLynn Peach are the Citrus energy fizz tabs gluten free
Yes, the entire Essentials Line is Gluten Free.

Jessica Jardon Never tried arbonne before would like to though!
If you win the giveaway, you can choose any sample you would like.

Lisa Mileo Ziegler What makes Arbonne stand out from all the rest like Mary Kay? What benefits do u get from using Arbonne?
Our ingredients and our heritage. Arbonne is a product that first was developed in Switzerland and our Research and Development Lab is still there. We adhere to the European Standards for the beauty industry, which are much higher than those set forth by the FDA in the US.

Monique Combes Megan, my samples came! Thank you ♥ Will be trying them out tonight.
SO glad they made it! Can’t wait to hear what you think!!!

LaTanya Thornhill What is your fave Arbonne product that you use?
This is by far the toughest question. lol. For me, I would say my RE9 Advanced Skin Care Set, but if I have to pick just one product in the set it would be the Smoothing Facial Cleanser. Without it my face breaks out like crazy. For my husband, his pick is the Joint Supplement because he works with his hands daily and they ache if he doesn’t take his joint supplement. My pick for him would be the Omega-3 supplement because his family has a history of high cholesterol.

Raymond Manduley do you use these products?
Yes, Arbonne is the only brand that we use. The only thing that isn’t Arbonne are our deodorant, toothpaste, etc because Arbonne doesn’t offer those.

Cindy Pate Simpson i could sure use this…you wanna give it to me…lol
I’d love too! Let’s hope random.org cooperates. lol

Liberty Druga How much is a starter kit and how much do you get for each sale? Meaning like 5%, 10%,?
The starter kit is $109. Some people will sign up and get their kit and then begin taking orders. Others who are on a strict budget will start collecting orders to pay for the starter kit. We make 35% commission on retail sales. We also make overrides on our team. The starting override is an extra 6%, then 8%, then 14%, then 17%, then 18%. It goes up at each level. The override is where Arbonne takes the $ of sales your team did and gives you a portion of Arbonne’s profit on those sales. It comes directly out of Arbonne’s pocket.

Alicia McMahon Does Arbonne have someplace where they show before and after photos of people using Arbonne products? (My sample came in today! Thanks!)
We used to have a ton, but since they redeveloped some of the lines last year, they haven’t built the library back up. There are some on this page: http://arbonne.com/RE9Advanced/  Click results and then clinical results. I had to come back and add this… I completely forgot that Arbonne has a video with results and testimonials. Here is the link. http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=1827229042966

Liberty Druga So how do people go about taking orders to pay for their first starter kit? Okay I know this is breaking the rule of asking more then one question but I am just interested in the start process.
I’m going to delete your comment so there isn’t a double entry, but wanted to make sure to answer your question. Basically, we collect orders to pay for your sign up. When a new consultant signs up, Arbonne lets them purchase $350 in product and then pick out $350 in free product. This is optional, but most people use it because it lets them get $700 in product at 50% off instead of the normal 35%. Some people will sell $350 and choose $350 in free product for themselves. What I do with new consultants who aren’t wanting the $109 to come out of their pocket, is have them sell $700 in product and then place it under that special order. They end up with around $350 profit. They use $109 to pay for the sign up fee and can keep the rest or use it to place an order for themselves. Hope that makes sense. I have a new consultant in Alaska that we are doing this with right now.

Rena Ramirez What products can I use to help fade dark spots on my face?
The Revelage line works to get rid of dark spots, age spots, freckles, etc. It breaks up the pigmentation instead of bleaching the spot like many products.

Lacey Krentz My son, Hayden, has really sensitive dry skin. He gets dry patches on his face, especially around his eyes.(have been to dr) do you have any products that might help him?
The baby line works really well on eczema and dry patches. I normally recommend the wash and lotion.

Cindy Nájera Gutierrez What makes Arbonne the best product in your opinion?
Our ingredient policy. We only use the best ingredients and refuse to use fillers and products that aren’t beneficial. In the US beauty industry, that is pretty much unheard of.

Answers from March 31st Giveaway

Hazen Buckley-Peet How much staying power does the lipstick have when gloss is put over it? Does it need a “setting” time? I’m kind of a lip gloss addict and I like to wear it over lipstick. So far, the gloss just kills the lipstick no matter how I apply; they both come off very fast.
Our lip gloss is a long wear lip gloss, so it doesn’t take away from the long wear of our lipstick. I use gloss over lip stick all the time and don’t have any trouble. I’ll paste 2 links below. One is a review of the lipsticks and the other is of the lip gloss.

As far as with combining Arbonne with other brands, I don’t know. Arbonne is all that I use, so I don’t know how it would work with a different brand of gloss over it, or vice versa.

Jamie Bimber Kase does the lipstick make your lips feel tight and dried out like some other brands
No! I never wore lipstick until Arbonne came out with this new lipstick in March 2010. It is FABULOUS! It actually has moisturizing properties to it, so it adds moisture to your lips. I am still a gloss girl for normal days, but now when I go out or dress up, I have a lipstick that I love! Below is the info directly from Arbonne’s training on the lipstick.

The lipstick is richly pigmented and glides on smoothly for buildable coverage. With advanced moisturizing ingredients, this lipstick will last all day, leaving your lips conditioned and moisturized.
The new Arbonne Cosmetics line was tested with a third party research group, for clinical performance and user preference evaluation with consumers. Results were determined with instrumentation to measure breathability, long-lasting wear, and moisturization levels of the lips.
The Lipstick demonstrated an immediate increase in lip moisture content. Fifteen minutes after application, the product was wiped off and the moisture content of the lips was measured. The moisture content increased nearly 37% versus baseline (no product applied).

Misty Scarbrough-babb dou carry night cream for wrinkles and to refresh
Yes, we do! We have an Anti-Aging Skin Care Line (RE9 Advanced), A Basic Skin Care Line (FC5), as well as baby care, cosmetics, body care, and nutrition and weight management products.

Madelin Field I haven’t had the chance to try these products but have heard a lot about them:) What would be a few items you would highly recommend to a first time buyer and why??
It really depends what they are looking for. Most people love our Awaken Sea Salt Scrub and it has a nice fresh scent that is great for men or women. I also recommend our RE9 Advanced Line to anyone who is wanting to fight the signs of aging. For more basic skin care, the FC5 is great. The ABC Baby Care Line is fantastic for young children or anyone with eczema. For those looking to manage their weight, the protein shakes are great and the protein powder can be used to make shakes, smoothies, or protein bars. I also love the shea butter lotion and wash. Our makeup primer is fantastic to put on before foundation to give a smooth, flawless look and help foundation stay on all day. The lash enhancer is great for anyone wanting to thicken their lashes and doesn’t carry the risk of some of the prescriptions that are out there. I also love the Renewing Gelee on burns and sore muscles. The 5-in-1 Massage Oil is fantastic as well!

Nikki Byrd Do you get alot of orders for the mens line?
Yes, the Men’s RE9 Advanced line is extremely popular. I do have some men that use the FC5 line instead. (Generally those under 30).

LaNette Beck How long have you been selling it?
I’ve been with Arbonne since August 2007.

Alicia McMahon Do you have to use any specific product of arbonne after you use the clarifying mask? (My face burns for a few days after using it)
No, although most people use a moisturizer after it. It shouldn’t make your face burn though. A slight warmth is normal, but only for 20 mins or so. You might be having a slight reaction to one of the ingredients. Even botanical ingredients can cause a reaction if you have a sensitivity to it.

Linda Nowels do u have foot cream 4 dry cracked feet?
Yes, the FC5 Foot Creme.

Mary Mcmenamy love lotions what scents do you carry?
Arbonne doesn’t use artificial fragrances like many of the other companies in the US. We don’t believe in using them because they cause skin issues, as well as causing harm over time. We use natural fragrance from fruit oils. Our FC5 products have a light, fresh scent. The RE9 Firming Body Creme has an orange scent from the Vit C. The SeaSource products have a clean, spa scent that is extremely relaxing. Awaken Lotion is a citrus scent meant to wake you up. Unwind Lotion is a relaxing lavender scent that will relax you. Our baby line doesn’t have a scent because it is meant to be mild for a baby’s skin.

Aubrey Turley What makes arbonne’s shampoo and conditioner worth buying? What sets it apart?
It is sulfate free. It doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or petrochemicals (from crude oil). The Intelligence shampoo contains tea tree oil which is great for dry scalps and for lice prevention. The FC5 line is great for all hair types.

Teresa L Parsley My question is similiar, I havent tried arbonne yet, do you have face cream for older women?
Yes, our RE9 Advanced Set is our Anti-Aging Set. In that line, there is a cleanser, toner, serum, eye creme, day creme, and night creme. They can be purchased as a set or separately.

Melissa Sanchez why should I use Arbonne’s Baby products compared to other baby products on the market?
Arbonne’s Baby Care line is extremely gentle and adheres to all of our ingredient policies. It doesn’t contain any mineral oil or any preservatives that release formaldehyde. It is also very effective. The majority of main stream products for babies really aren’t safe. I posted this article the other day. It talks about some of the chemicals that were found in baby care off the shelves of stores. The chemicals found in these products can cause skin conditions, cancer, and many other health problems. Here is the article: http://consumerist.com/2009/03/baby-products-now-with-formaldehyde.html

Madelin Field How much is the initial kit to get started?? I know with most parties for products there are different kits you can purchase…
Arbonne just has one starter kit for consultants. It is $109 to get started. For those that cost is an issue, we can collect your first orders before ordering your starter kit. That way you make the money to pay for your starter kit and don’t pay out of your pocket. Arbonne also has a Strong Start Program that is free for consultants to participate in. Strong Start Graduates receive $700 in free product of their choice.

Answers to Arbonne Questions from 750 Gan Giveaway!

Kimberly Conover Dickerson Are Arbonne’s products considered vegan? No animal by products?
Yes, Arbonne products are all Vegan Certified. Our ingredient policy is here: http://arbonne.com/products/index.asp

Crystal Waldroff As a consultant have you tried every product?
I’ve tried almost every product. There are some shades of blush, lipsticks, etc that I don’t use because they look bad on my skin coloring. We use pretty much everything else because we replaced our old products with Arbonne once we learned about the what other companies were using in their products. And I get paid to shop with myself.

Brittany Riley about how my arbonne products are sold a year?
Actual products? I’m not sure because there are consultants in 4 countries selling and we have over 500 products that they could be selling. Our sales are on average $500 million each year. Our CEO has a goal to make that $2 Billion by 2015.

Raymond Manduley is there many male consultants?
Yes, there are more and more joining all the time. Here are the links to a few of their stories.

Cindy Pate Simpson does it take up alot of you time to try and sale the products?
Arbonne is my full time job, so I work at it a couple hours each day. I have others on my team that work a full time job still, so they are working Arbonne in the nooks and crannies of their days. Some make phone calls on their lunch breaks. Some do a party a couple nights a week or 2 on Saturday. Whatever works for them. One of my favorite things about Arbonne is that we can set our own schedules and make it work for us. One of the things I do is to help my team set goals that work for their lives.

Aubrey Turley What is the most rewarding part of working for Arbonne?
I started my business for myself and my family, but once I started to help others build their businesses, I quickly realized that for me, that is the most rewarding part. I love helping Mommies stay home with their babies, husbands retire early so they can spend time with their family, and families get to take vacations and have family time without having to ask a boss.

Bryan Terrill What percentage of sales is mens stuff
That’s hard to track because most of our items are for men or women, like the FC5 line. It is a neutral, fresh scent and I have clients that are men and women who use it. There are some line’s like RE9 Advanced for Men that are made specifically to appeal to men, but I have many women who use the shave gel on their legs. For me personally, most of my clients are women, but they are purchasing for themselves and their entire families including husbands and sons. We also have an entire nutrition line that is extremely popular with men because of the vitamins and protein shakes.

Niki Hamilton do you enjoy selling Arbonne?
I do! I love Arbonne’s products, and love helping people get the best price on them. I also enjoy educating people about the ingredients that are being used in the beauty and health/wellness industries and how harmful they can be. I love that Arbonne doesn’t use any of that junk in our products.

Kendra Lewis What is your favorite Arbonne product?
This is by far the toughest question. lol. For me, I would say my RE9 Advanced Skin Care Set, but if I have to pick just one product in the set it would be the Smoothing Facial Cleanser. Without it my face breaks out like crazy. For my husband, his pick is the Joint Supplement because he works with his hands daily and they ache if he doesn’t take his joint supplement. My pick for him would be the Omega-3 supplement because his family has a history of high cholesterol.

Lacey Krentz What is your favorite product to recommend to all of your clients?
Our RE9 Advanced Firming Body Creme is so much fun to watch them try. I have them put it on the back of one hand, but not the other. Within 5 minutes, most everyone sees a difference in the two hands. The Firming Body Creme tightens the skin and smooths wrinkles and lines.

Alicia McMahon Do you have alot of clients that repeat buy, or do you find that you have alot of one time buyers?
Most of my clients are return customers. There will always be those people who are buying at a party to support a friend, or who are product/brand hoppers (lol), but by far the majority reorder. Once they’ve tried Arbonne, they love the products and want to continue getting them. Most will go ahead and become a Preferred Client so that they can receive 20% off all of their orders. Once they become a Preferred Client, their ID is tied to my business. That means that when they go online as a Preferred Client and order, Arbonne credits me for that sale, so I get the commission on my check from Arbonne.

Nikki Byrd Why Arbonne? What what made you think this is the company I would love to be in?
I loved the products. I loved the ingredient policy and extremely high standard of integrity. Along with that comes an amazing compensation plan that is better than any other company I’ve seen. I regularly compare compensation plans because I get asked questions about them, and Arbonne is the best I’ve ever found. I also love the people. We are a lot different than many of the other companies I’ve seen. There isn’t all of the competition between consultants and drama that goes on in some companies. We all support each other and want to help each other.

Erin Smith What is your most popular Arbonne product?
I would say the RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care is what I sell the most of.

Loretta Minogue How long have you been an Arbonne Independent Consultant?
I joined Arbonne in August 2007.

Penny Gray McGee What are some rewards you have received from the company?
I am going on a trip to the Bahamas with my husband in August. Arbonne is paying for our 5 night, 6 day stay at the Atlantis Resort, giving us $1000 for airfare or shopping, and paying for all meals except lunches. I have also earned jewelry from Arbonne. They give out a special Arbonne key necklace to new consultants. All consultants can earn Tiffany Jewelry as well. I’ve also earned cash incentives, free products, samples, Coach purses, and lots more.

Ann Fudge how much does it cost to join?
Our starter kit is $109. I’ve helped many woman start with no out of pocket expense though, by collecting orders before we sign them up. The orders cover the cost of the sign up fee, so it’s not coming out of their pocket. You can also earn $700 in free product as a new consultant.

Jenice Mckin What is the best product?
Our RE9 Advanced Anti-aging Skin Care is what we are most well known for, but our Essentials nutrition and weight management line is fabulous as well! We have over 500 products, so it’s hard to choose.

Brittany Doerfler what product is your personal favorite
I can’t live without my RE9 Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care. All of my clients have different favorites though.

Robyn Ely I subscribed / Do they do incentive giveaways ?
Do you mean for consultants or clients? Arbonne typically does specials for clients every couple months, and I do specials for my clients from time to time as well. When someone signs up as a Preferred Client, they are eligible to pick out any single item for free (Up to $99 value) when they place an order of $150+. They get 20% off of that, so aren’t paying $150. They are also eligible to purchase $350, get $350 for free when they sign up or in the following month. A lot of people use this to switch over completely to Arbonne. Some will split it with a friend or friends. Here are this month’s specials: https://secure.myarbonne.com/arbonne/megancurtis.nsf/p1/1?OpenDocument&specialspage=1. Arbonne also does special trips, gifts, prizes, and incentives for clients. Our Strong Start Program is always available to new consultants and helps them earn $700 in free product.

Jamie Bimber Kase your opinion on prices
When I first looked at a catalog, I didn’t understand the pricing. Once I tried the products though, I understood. The ingredients that Arbonne uses are much more expensive than the fillers and garbage in other products. (Many use mineral oil (from crude oil), animal glycerin (animal fat from rendering plants), and other chemicals that are harmful and can cause cancer. The FDA doesn’t regulate the beauty industry like it should, so American beauty products are terrible. Because Arbonne has a Swiss Heritage, our products aren’t even in the same category. Arbonne would be in the category with companies like La Prarie which is priced 6 times higher than Arbonne’s prices. Also, because our products are extremely concentrated (no fillers) they last much longer. The RE9 Advanced Set lasts my clients an average of 5-7 months, where their old brands would only last 1-2 months. I have a few ladies who make their sets last 9-12 months. The nice thing is that when they become a Preferred Client, they can purchase $350, get $350 for free. A lot of them will go in with a friend and each get an RE9 Set. Then when their sets run out, they do a Buy $350, Get $350 again, so they’re getting product at 50% off.

Elizabeth Oxfurth are there products that dont make oily/combo skin break out even more?
Arbonne has 2 main skin care lines; RE9 Advanced and FC5. RE9 Advanced works with any skin type and is our anti-aging line. I had severe acne that would not go away. When I started using RE9 Advanced, my face cleared up in about 2 wks. The FC5 line is what my husband uses. There are products for Normal/Dry and products for Oily/Combo. The oily/combo products are perfect for those who have mild breakouts they want to manage. We also have an acne line called Clear Advantage that I recommend to teens and young adults to clear their acne.

LaNette Beck What do you like most about the products?
That they are pure, safe, and beneficial and provide AMAZING results!

Blazin Saddle Do you have to put long hours in selling Arbonne Produdts?

Every consultant has different goals for their business and sets their hours around their lives. I do Arbonne full-time, so I work more hours than some of the consultants on my team. Generally about 10-15 hours/week. That replaced my 40 hours at a job that I hated. If a consultant does 2 parties/week that is about 4-5 hours, and then if you make a couple phone calls or emails each day, that adds another 2 hours or so, so about 6-8 hours a week is average for my team. It really is up to what each person wants though. I always help new consultants set goals that work for their schedule and gives them to income they’re needing or wanting.

Answers to your Questions from Giveaway #2 on March 24th

Wow! You all came up with some wonderful questions! I love it! I am going to answer each question below.

Brittany Riley is it harder than you thought when you started?
My goal with Arbonne is to become a National Vice President, which is the top level in Arbonne. It isn’t harder than I thought, but it does take a bit of learning and time to get to that top level. As far as the day to day consultant activities, I’ve found ways to simplify things and keep myself on track. The Consultant Planner and Activity Tracker that comes in our Starter Kit is a huge help with that. Also, direct sales is becoming so mainstream, that most people want to help and support you.

Teresa L Parsley Where is Arbonne mainly based?
Arbonne was started in Switzerland in 1980, but our corporate headquarters are in the US in Irvine, California. Our Research and Development lab is in Switzerland. We adhere to ingredient policies in Switzerland. For instance, in Switzerland, it is illegal to use mineral oil in cosmetic and beauty products, because it is harmful. Arbonne does not use mineral oil, although in the US it is still legal to do so because our FDA does not properly regulate the beauty industry. Arbonne is sold in 4 countries as of today; USA, UK, Australia, and Canada. Products are made in the country they are sold in, and we have warehouses in each country, as well as headquarters in each.

Alysa Willeford Young How much does it cost to become a consultant?
Arbonne’s starter kit is $109. You receive a full starter kit from Arbonne, Access to training, conference calls, and Arbonne University, Training from your sponsor, Access to Strong Start Program where you can receive $700 in free product from Arbonne, and more. When someone joins my Arbonne team, I help them launch their business, set up their Arbonne page and Facebook page if they want those, do their first few parties, earn the free trip for that year (if they want to go), help them launch new consultants onto their team, and any other help or training that they need. I also do special incentives for my team where I reward them for their efforts each month and they can earn custom made jewelry, business aids, movie tickets, product, and more.

Jamie Bimber Kase how does your baby products compare to johnson’s?
Arbonne asks that consultants not say anything that is demeaning towards other companies, so I am going to be respectful of that and word this as kindly as I can. Arbonne’s Baby Care line is extremely gentle and adheres to all of our ingredient policies. It doesn’t contain any mineral oil or any preservatives that release formaldehyde. It is also very effective. As far as comparing it to other products, take a minute to read this article and draw your own conclusions. http://consumerist.com/2009/03/baby-products-now-with-formaldehyde.html

Marisa Latham What type of products does ARBONNE carry??? sory dont know much about ot
Arbonne offers botanically-based products that are pure, safe, and beneficial. Our product lines include skin care, body care, baby care, hair care, spa, cosmetics, nutrition, vitamins, weight loss.
Arbonne Products Are:

Vegan Certified (No animal products or by-products)
Made without Parabens, PABA, Pthalates, Benzene, Toluene, Petrolatum, Mineral
Oil, or other Petroleum Products
Made without any formaldehyde-donating preservatives

Our nutrition products are also made without gluten, artificial sweeteners,
artificial flavors, artificial colors, cholesterol, saturated fats, or trans
fats.

Maddison Paige was it hard to get started??
No, Arbonne makes it really simple. They actually just redid our starter kit in September (It’s a lot cooler than the one I got when I started in Aug 2007. lol). The new kit includes a workbook that guides you through your first 30, 60, and 90 days, helps you set goals, figure out who to talk to about the products, and a lot of other things. The only hard part if not being afraid to do it, but that is what your sponsor is there to help you with.

Cindy Pate Simpson do you honestly like it?
I do. I love Arbonne’s products, and would use them even if I wasn’t a consultant. More than the products though, it is amazing to see lives change as people are able to build the life that they want to live thanks to Arbonne’s income opportunity and the time flexibility. Not to mention that Arbonne spoils it’s consultants. Each year we can earn a free trip, we can earn Tiffany jewelry, Cash incentives, plus monthly gifts just for doing our jobs.

Diandra Hinson Vega how long did it take you to get a customer base going?
I started with my family and friends and asked them to host parties for me in my first couple months. Then I booked parties at those parties and ended up with hostesses that I didn’t know before that night. The majority of my clients are people that I never knew before starting my business. As far as my Facebook Page, I started out on Feb 1st with 167 fans and all of them were either other Arbonne consultants that I know or family, friends, or current clients. It took me a year to get to that point because I didn’t know how to build or use my page. I started reading a newsletter that teaches how to do your page. Since Feb 1st, I went from 167 fans to over 700…less than 2 months. From now on I will be teaching all the consultants on my team how to work a Facebook Page if they want to. I also teach them how to grow their customer base when they are starting out, and will help them call people if they need help with that.

Raymond Manduley do you make good money?
Right now I am at the first level in Arbonne. I make between $1500 and $2000 on an average month. Part of that is my 35% commission and part of that is from Arbonne’s bonuses, team incentives, etc. I am getting read to promote to the 2nd level in Arbonne and will make about $3500/month then. Income really depends on how much the person is wanting. Some people come in and only do 1-2 parties a month, so they will make less than those doing 6-8.

Wende Shull Sampson Raymond took my question..lol..wondering how much it pays also?
I answered your question above.

Cindy Bryant do you get samples to give out to people if they have never heard of the products?
We have to buy our samples from Arbonne, but they are very inexpensive and they are also tax deductible, so I claim them as a business expense on taxes each year. Arbonne also does an incentive each month where you can earn free samples from Arbonne and use them however you want.

Princess Mia what change you got in your life after becoming a consultant? What benefit did U get?
I love the income…lol. I also love being able to set my own schedule and work my business around my life. It’s great to decide what I want to do each day instead of being told by a boss. I also love helping others grow their businesses and watch as they check off the goals and dreams that they have for themselves.

Tammy Tracy Castonguay How many shows a month do you do?
I do 6-8 usually, which is about 1-2 a week. Parties are about 2 hours at the most, so that is just 4 hours a week on average. Some consultants do more, but I’ve found that 6-8 is plenty for consistent growth and still gives you time for the other things in your life. Sometimes I will also do a booth at a fair or vendor expo. I normally find tables that are around $25 for the day and use them to meet new people and book parties. Some people choose not to build with parties and just meet with clients one on one and use sample packs. I use a combination of parties and meeting people one on one. It really just depends on if that person is wanting to hot a party or just order product.

Aubrey Turley What is the one arbonne product that I should invest in? If I could only choose one.
This is by far the toughest question. lol. For me, I would say my RE9 Advanced Skin Care Set, but if I have to pick just one product in the set it would be the Smoothing Facial Cleanser. Without it my face breaks out like crazy. For my husband, his pick is the Joint Supplement because he works with his hands daily and they ache if he doesn’t take his joint supplement. My pick for him would be the Omega-3 supplement because his family has a history of high cholesterol.

Alicia McMahon Do you feel like there is too many Arbonne reps in your area?
Not at all. I get referrals through my site all the time and on Facebook, from people who are just learning about Arbonne. At our training conference, Arbonne announced that we have a 1% awareness rate. That means that in the US, only 1% of citizens know what Arbonne is, and we’ve been in business since 1980. There is huge room for growth. Right now we are at $500 million/year in sales. Our CEO wants to grow to $2 billion by 2015! Also, I can build a team in my home town, or in any of the 4 countries that Arbonne is in. It’s great! I live in Missouri and this week I am launching a new consultant in Alaska. I met her on Facebook and helped her to get started.

Chrissy Stewart-Powell WHat is the commission
Consultants make 35% on retail purchases, plus we can earn bonuses each month along with incentives ($) for helping our team build their businesses.

Rose Walker what kind of baby stuff do you have?
We have 5 baby products. Diaper Rash Creme, Baby Oil, Baby Sunscreen, Baby Shampoo/Wash, and Baby Lotion.

Beth Williams does arbonne have nail care products?
We don’t have any nail polishes, but we do have Skin Conditioning Oil that is fantastic for cuticle care. I use it regularly, as does my husband. It is great for natural nails, or the soften cuticles around acrylics.

Terri Jo Wright Placher What product is available to help with acne?
We have an entire acne line called Clear Advantage. In that line there is a wash, toner, medicated moisturizer, spot treatment, and skin supplement.

Melissa Horn is the shampoo and cond highly liked
Yes, I have many clients who use it, and we use it in our home as well. The smell is clean and fresh, but neutral, so men or women can use it. It is free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfates, and won’t fade colored hair. The conditioner also keeps my hair from tangling.

Dawn Wallace Does the shampoo & conditioner has natural ingrediants like tea tree?
The FC5 Shampoo and Conditioner are made with things like kiwi, cucumber, and other fruit oils. The Intelligence Shampoo has Tea Tree Oil and is fantastic for dry hair and scalp. My husband uses the Intelligence Shampoo and the FC5 Conditioner and it has gotten rid of his dry scalp issue, and his hair is so soft. You can actually run your fingers through it now. It used to be so dry that they wouldn’t slide through it. lol

Chris Stolz Turley When I tried the products for acne, I broke out, why?
A lot of times your skin has to be cleaned out before it gets better. When you switch to a line that is made without fillers, mineral oil, and petroleum products, 2 things happen. One, your skin is cleaned out all at once. This brings any impurities to the surface of the skin causing a breakout to appear. Two, if you’ve used products with mineral oil, you can have deposits of that mineral oil trapped just beneath the top layer of the skin. They are too big to soak in all the way and get stuck. When you switch, the mineral oil deposits are cleaned out, but this causes a breakout. Arbonne offers a 45 day money back guarantee on all of their products so that customers can try to products for 4-5 weeks and make sure all of those breakouts clear up. If it still is not working, they can return the leftover products for a refund.
