The Wiser Way

VERBIAGE THAT WILL GAIN YOU EXTRA YARDS IN YOUR BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!

Guidelines for Booking Parties

1) REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF THE PHONE CALL. BE CONFIDENT AND KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE CALLING TO SHARE, NOT TO SELL THEM SOMETHING. NEVER SAY, " I'M JUST CALLING TO TELL YOU..." THIS MAKES YOU SOUND LIKE YOU DON'T WANT TO BOTHER THAT PERSON. Maintain your POSTURE in the conversation!!!!! This is key because then they will know you are serious about becoming successful in Arbonne!

2) SELL THE APPOINTMENT (PARTY)...NOT THE PRODUCT. THE PRODUCTS WILL SELL THEMSELVES WHEN YOU DO THE PARTY.

3) BUILD Rapport WITH THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE. PEOPLE LOVE TO TALK ABOUT THEMSELVES AND ESPECIALLY THEIR CHILDREN. BEFORE YOU ASK THEM IF THEY ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING A PARTY AND RECEIVING FREE PRODUCT, STRIKE UP A CONVERSATION. THIS WILL MAKE THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE FEEL GOOD AND WANT TO BOOK A PARTY. BUT don’t wait too long to ask for the party. You will start to get nervous and chicken out of asking. Get to the point, once you have asked how they are and they are fine. They will know you are ON PURPOSE with this business, when you don’t beat around the topic of your call. Just do it!!!

4) TRY TO FIND SOMETHING IN COMMON THAT YOU HAVE WITH THE PERSON... EXAMPLE: KIDS. MAYBE SAY THAT THE WHOLE REASON YOU ARE DOING ARBONNE IS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO STAY HOME WITH YOUR KIDS. I AM SURE THAT THEY CAN RELATE TO THAT.

5) DON'T BE INTIMIDATED BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING TO A STRANGER. SOUND HAPPY AND CALL WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE. PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS PICK UP ON HOW YOU FEEL BY YOUR APPROACH. REMEMBER, WE ARE CALLING TO share what we love with PEOPLE, NOT TO SELL PEOPLE. STAY CONFIDENT AND DON'T GET DISCOURAGED BY "NO." IF THEY DO SAY NO, ASK THEM IF THEY MAY KNOW ANYBODY ELSE WHO IS INTERESTED AND IF NOT, JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PERSON! GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY!

I hope the following verbiage tips will help you all!!

ASKING FOR, BOOKING PARTIES & CONTINUING TO GET BOOKINGS OFF OF PARTIES

What do you say to someone that tells you they do not want to have a party for you, and says that them and their friends are too busy to have or come to a party?

“Can I ask you question? What is it that makes you say “no” or not want to have a party for me? (Wait for their response!!! Don’t give them their answer. Make them TELL YOU why they don’t want to have a party for you.) Then tell them, that you do not expect them to help you build your business FOR YOU, but you do need help to get this started. You grow a business by networking with people. It all starts with the people I KNOW, that then CONNECTS me to people that YOU KNOW and it starts a chain reaction, BUT IT has to start with people that I KNOW. Could you please help me out, I am committed to making this work. Would you be someone that helps me get it going? Before you answer, let me tell you what you have to do to have a party and all the BENEFITS of being a HOSTESS for me in Arbonne!!!

The ONLY thing you have to do to get ready for your party is… have one room of your house ready to receive 4-5 of your close friends and family. So that means it doesn’t even have to be that clean!!! Make some brownies/cookies and lemonade and tell your friends that you want them to come over and have a night of FUN and RELAXATION! You all DESERVE to learn how to look and feel your best with Arbonne’s products. While you and your guests are being PAMPERED by me! They are learning about or MORE about what these products can do for them and their families. There are so MANY NEW PRODUCTS available right now, that even if you are a fan of Arbonne already, you will learn about all of the other things that they have added that will help us be the best that we can be!! People are always amazed to find out about the BENEFITS of Arbonne products. I promise your guests will have a BLAST and love taking care of THEMSELVES for once in their life and you will get to have all the benefits of being the HOSTESS that night, which helps you get a ton of stuff for free or at a huge discount!

It is really that simple, FUN and beneficial for you to have a party. NOW would you please help me and your friends out, by being a hostess for me? I can do Tuesday or Thursday this week; which of those days is best for you? ( If not then, we can look at another day.)

You can say: I LOVE Friday night parties, people are usually FREE on that night, they are at the end of their workweek and they are in the party mood! We have a blast on that day, because they are ready for the weekend and are in a fun and relaxed mood already!!

How do you get friends and family to book a party for you?

When talking to your friends/family and you have told them all of the BENEFITS they will receive, they look uncomfortable and the tone in their voice changes. They start to make excuses why their friends won’t come. What do you say to get them to understand the reasons why they NEED A PARTY?

If this is a TREND LINE, then have someone listen to how YOU are asking and what you are saying. If it is just this person that seems uncomfortable and normally you get a good response, I would say:

“It seems like this is uncomfortable for you to think about doing, I understand how you feel, but let me tell you how FUN and EASY it is for you to have a presentation and all of the hostess rewards that you get for having a party. You know all of your favorite items from Arbonne… I can help you get those for FREE! All you do is make one room in your home ready for guests, make some brownies and lemonade. I will send out the invitations for you and you can just call to remind them. I know everyone thinks that their friends are too busy to come to a party, but that is EXACTLY why they would LOVE to come spa with us!! You will be giving them a GIFT!”

You are going to spend a RELAXING night with a FEW of your close friends and family. You are all going to learn about how to be healthier on the inside and out, so you can all LOOK and FEEL your best! You will have such a wonderful time and you DESERVE to have a RELAXING night with friends!

Script for asking for a Party:

Do you have a minute to chat? Yes, Great! No, When is a good time I can call you back.

As you know I have always wanted to…(state your why’s or I story)

I was calling to tell you that I have decided to make all of those dreams a reality. I am really excited to tell you that I have started my own business with Arbonne International. I have seen a lot of people who have changed their lives with this opportunity and I going to do the same thing for my family! I am calling you because you are someone that I really respect and I want you to take just one night out for ME. Can you set aside the night of _______To come and listen to what I am going to be doing? I LOVE these products and I thought of you, when I heard all of the information about the products and this business.

Yes, or NO,

I really respect your opinion and I would love for you to hear about what I am doing! Take one night out for yourself to come RELAX, be pampered and learn about how to look and feel your best with these products! You will see why I am so excited about this business and I really just want to surround myself with GREAT friends like you when I am starting a NEW adventure! I could really use your support!

What about another night? If NO, then well do you think that you can help me get started strong by hosting a class for me?

Script for party when IN QUALIFICATION for a new management level:

Hi, _________, I am calling to tell you how EXCITED I am about my new business!! As you know, I have started my own Arbonne business to help my family with _____________________ (monthly bills, help husband stay home, stay home with kids, pay for college, save for retirement because were not able to save enough for our future), I am excited to call you and tell you that I have worked so hard and I am now in qualification for _________!!! I WILL BE a National Vice President with Arbonne soon. This is REALLY working well for me, like I knew it would! I so appreciate you supporting me and I want you to know that I will NOT rely on you in the future to SUSTAIN my business, but I am calling for a favor this month. It would REALLY help me a lot, if you would ___________________(Help me hit this BIG goal by hosting a presentation in your home for me THIS month! I have Tuesday or Thursday next week open on my calendar and that is it!! I am really working hard to make sure this will happen for my family. Would one of those dates work for you? It would help me get in front of as many people as I can this month, so I make sure I finish completing my management qualification THIS MONTH”)

What can I say to get someone to have a party for me now? When I call a friend and ask if they would have a party for me, they say things are too crazy right now, but try back at a later date. When I call back they say the same thing.

Hey _____, let’s look at what your calendar looks like RIGHT NOW! I know you are still crazy busy, because you know what…we are ALWAYS going to be crazy busy! But that is the very reason, I want to come and pamper you and 4-5 of your close friends and family!! I know it may feel like extra work for you, or that no one would have time to come, but I am going to teach you what to say to your guests so they will want to come over and spend a fun, relaxing night with you, while you all learn about how to LOOK and FEEL your best, even with life being as crazy as it is! We need some extra help, so the stress of what we do to survive does not show up on us any sooner than it already is going to anyway!!

All you have to do is get one room of your house ready to receive your friends and family, which means it does not have to be that clean! Make some brownies or buy some cookies and lemonade, call them and tell them they are the special chosen ones that you want to have over for a night of RELAXATION. Do you know how special that makes them feel, that you want THEM to join you on your special night? It is like a friend calling saying, I want you to go spa with me, and just relax and have a good time!!! That is it…who would not feel honored and EXCITED to come and be with you, when you PICKED them. You are going to tell them WHY, you want them, just like I am telling you WHY I want you to have this special night. I.e. we are all so busy, I just want to relax and be pampered!

You will receive ALL of the benefits of being my hostess that night and helping me share this with your family and friends!

What do you say to someone that says “I don’t do parties”?

Ok…can I ask you why? (You could have fun with them by Jokingly asking… Is it one of the BIG life rules that I don’t know about?) Wait for their answer…(They may say, I don’t like bugging my friends to come over when they are so busy or buy something because they feel obligated to me.)

I totally understand that reason, but can I please explain to you, what we do at a party and how I HELP people with things they are already looking for, buying or are needing. I HELP your friends, in the comfort of your home, while they are relaxing with their friends and family, that they love and want to spend time with, etc. You know how girls are, if you are using something that you love, and I promise, you WILL LOVE Arbonne, they would be MAD at you, if you did not share that with them. They don’t want you looking younger than them!! Plus you would be helping another friend, ME!! I am NOT going to rely on YOU to help be build my business forever more, but I would love for you to help me get it started!! It is a networking business, it grows because we network with our friends and family that helps us get connected to a BIGGER network of their friends and family.

How do you TEACH someone NOT TO ANSWER for his or her friends and family about wanting to come to a party, spending money on “stuff like this”, etc?

You know I hear you answering for your friends about what they would like to spend their money on. I know you know them better than me, but can I share with you that there are only 3 things that are recession proof in our society and that one of those is cosmetics!! People will spend money on cosmetics when you think they won’t! That is why we teach our hostesses not to answer or guess what their friends and family will spend money on, because you would be surprised. Even if they don’t spend money, they are going to have a wonderful time coming to your party, spending time with you, while I pamper you all. We don’t take enough time to take care of ourselves. We deserve to look and feel our best and I promise your friends will be feeling good, by the time they get done at our party! Let me help you, do something nice for your friends and families. I promise they will love YOU for it!!

How do you ASK FOR BOOKINGS AT YOUR PARTIES?

I close with 3 ways to win. One of those ways is to be a hostess and I explain, how awesome it is to win as a hostess in Arbonne. If you had a GREAT FUN time tonight at this party AND you thought of people you know in your life that could benefit from the same information that you learned here tonight as I shared with you the benefits of these products. You could earn FREE products just by sharing this information with people that you love and care about!!! All you have to do is get one room ready to receive guests, have some cookies and lemonade! I will do everything else for YOU. You share a fun night with a few friends and family, while you WIN FREE PRODUCTS FOR YOURSELF!!! Your friend, “MARY SUE”, will benefit tonight as my hostess when you book a party for your friends off of her party!! (I coach my hostess to share how fun it is to have friends and family over and how she will support them if they will book a party for her.)

I also offer my WHOLESALE DISCOUNT to everyone at the party, when I share another way to win with Arbonne is becoming a wholesale consultant with Arbonne.

I say…If you like these products and you are a bargain shopper like me, you can sign up with Arbonne as a wholesale consultant for $29 and get all of your products for at least 35% off for the next year and renew every year after that for only $15. There is no monthly minimum order that you have to place. You simply order when you want, IF you want, you get your products at a discount and they are shipped directly to your doorstep! I will still be glad to consult with you on your Arbonne needs, but this will give you these products a HUGE discount!

By doing this I am giving up my 35% commission here tonight. I don’t mind doing that at all, because I LOVE A BARGAIN too! But the way I build my business is by getting in front of people that you know and I don’t know. So what I like to ask for in return, is that when you sign up for the wholesale discount, think about the people you want to share these products with and host a party for me. That is a win, win situation…you get these incredible products that your family uses everyday at a HUGE discount and I still get help to build my business while I reward YOU as my hostess, just like I am rewarding, (MARY SUE) here tonight!

What do you say to get people to understand how important it is not to cancel their party that they have scheduled with you?

Once the party date is picked, I tell my hostess what they will get for having the party and I coach her on how to get the maximum benefits as a hostess. (Be willing to give away the farm, do the Arbonne University on Hostess Coaching, etc to learn how to keep a hostess happy)

Then tell them how much you appreciate them for being your hostess. This is how we build our BUSINESS, it is so much fun working with nice people like you! When you keep your “business appointment” with me on our ORIGINAL date, you will get another HOSTESS REWARD/GIFT, I WILL MAKE THIS WORTH YOUR TIME AND EFFORT, I PROMISE!! I know it is a party for you and life gets busy, but if you will let me do all of the work for you, we can still pull this off and have a great night with your friends and family. I really appreciate you working with me to keep this date on our books!

How do you create a COMMOTION around your business, so people will WANT to do things for you?

Always close with what you recommend and ASK for a class. Tell them what most people do “ most people want to do what most people do.

VERBIAGE:

Most people join for $29 and get their products at cost, generally a Re9 set. You will get 35% discount on your order TONIGHT!! Also a benefit that I offer to anyone on my team that gets an ID number is that you are now eligible to receive not only the consultant benefits (usually an 80% discount) but you also will receive the consultant benefits as well. WHEN YOU BOOK A PRESENTATION THIS MONTH OR NEXT, I do the presentation/class for you AND I offer the hostess benefits of a 90% discount!!! (you pay $10 of the $20 or maybe even all of it!) Let’s get you on my calendar right away as these dates will fill up and I want you to be able to take advantage of this great offer!

Another great benefit I offer to those with an Id number is that once a month, this month it’s Sat. July 29^th, I let my wholesale consultants schedule a 20 min. color consultation. You can come pick out your colors and I will help you order them at cost. Or, if you’re not ready to order right then, we can at least fill out those you like so you will know what you need when you are ready to order. I have refreshments, drawings and a prize “for those that keep their appointments they get to put their name in a drawing for $50 worth of FREE products! Plus if you bring a guest with you to your appointment, you get ___________. These appointments book out fast so let's schedule that right now too!! Everyone loves these parties and the special one on one treatment they get when they get me for a consultant!!

GETTING REFERRALS

What's the best way to ask for referrals and AVOID getting the answer "I don't really know a lot of people" or "I don't really know anybody that would be interested, but I'll think about it?”

I know you don’t think you know anyone that would need this, because maybe YOU don’t need this or want this for your family right now. But I would REALLY encourage you to think about what other people MAY NEED. People are looking for ANYTHING ANTI-AGING and that is EXACTLY what I have, but what I want you to REALLY CONSIDER…is that there are a lot of people that NEED THIS BUSINESS. So even though you may not need it, please don’t let someone else be struggling with jobs, finances, etc and not let them know about this VERY VIABLE AND LUCRITIVE opportunity. For some people HOPE IS WHAT MAKES LIFE BAREABLE! That is what I offer with this opportunity is HOPE! So think about it this way…who do you know THAT NEEDS HOPE or help? With the world like it is today…there are soooo many people that are struggling, restless, or just plain unhappy with their current circumstances. Those are the people that I am looking for and this is a network marketing company, I have to network to find those people…YOU are MY network!! I will get connected to people that need my help, through people I know that connect me to people they know, that then connect me to people those people know. When we do this, we will eventually being helping thousands of people that need and WANT help! It is not anything more than that, despite the sometimes, general beliefs about network marketing and what it does to people. Does that sound so bad to you? I actually LOVE what this company and opportunity can do for so many people. I am proud to be a part of something that can truly make a difference in someone else’s life!

PROSPECTING

What do you say to yourself before you go to every place during the day to ensure that you don't miss out on an opportunity to prospect (Self-talk)?

I tell myself that they want what I have and I am LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO HELP with my products and business!! I AM going to find people that need my help and want to WORK with me for their own dreams!

What can you do to avoid letting a potential prospect slip through your hands? (I.e.- not walking away, especially if you feel the urge to talk to them)

I look for people that would BE GOOD at my business, and that shows or tells me that they NEED MY BUSINESS. Then I ACT on that opportunity!!! I truly believe that it is my GOD that puts that urge in my heart to share with the people HE puts in my path and that I am being disobedient if I don’t do what HE wants me to. HE knows their needs, I don’t…I just follow HIS lead! It is cool when you work with GOD as your business partner!!!

How do you talk to a clerk at a store?

“How long have you worked here? __________ You must love it here. OR Do you love working here? _______. Have you ever heard of Arbonne? YES. GOOD…have you ever USED their products? YES. GREAT what have you used? _____ Well, have you ever heard about the OPPORTUNITY that is connected to these amazing products? If you have ever thought about doing something different than what you are doing today, you should look into Arbonne a little more. You can go to Arbonne.com, but the COMPENSATION is even more amazing! You can make anywhere from $300-31,000/ month at the different levels of management with Arbonne. It is VERY lucrative and gives people a chance to have choices in life and YOU DESERVE to have choices too!! (Watch their body language and LISTEN to their response)

If they are open to hearing more – Tell them that Arbonne has had an average of 100% growth over the past 3 years. Share the success of the team that you are on and that you are going to be at the top of the company too!

If they are hesitant or put a wall up – Tell them you know people USUALLY put up a wall or are hesitant when someone shares information about a Network Marketing company with them. I USED TO DO THE SAME thing!! But then someone shared with me what NWM REALLY is and all that it does for people JUST LIKE you that working hard to get ahead but not happy with what you have to do to make that happen for your family. This is the only VIABLE option for MOST NORMAL people like you and me have to start and be the OWNER of our own businesses, have control over our schedule, I still work hard, but I CHOOSE WHEN I WANT TO WORK, and make that $300-$31,000/month that I shared with you earlier. When you REALLY understand all that it can be…instead of thinking it is a pyramid, you will be willing to hear more so that IF you say “no”, you REALLY know what you are saying “no” to. That is all I ever want people to do is really HEAR about this opportunity, so that I know, you have heard this and you still don’t think that this is something that you and your family would want to take advantage of, for them. Then I can sleep at night knowing you aren’t like me that said “NO” to this opportunity for 3 years (or however long you thought about saying no) before I REALLY listened to what this has done for so many “NORMAL” people like you and me!

How do you talk to someone that is in line with you at the GROCERY STORE?

I start conversation about the items in their basket and compare to my basket in some FUN way!! If they are a fun person, this will start conversation. If they are not a FUN/FRIENDLY person and they don’t respond to you, then they are NOT a good prospect for you anyway. After we have conversed back and forth for a little while, I ask them “Can I ask you a question?”

NOTE: THEY HAVE NEVER SAID “NO” TO ME!

Then I always ask…Have you ever heard of Arbonne? YES. GOOD…have you ever USED their products? YES. GREAT what have you used? _____. Have you ever heard about the OPPORTUNITY that is connected to these amazing products? If you have ever thought about doing something different than what you are doing today, you should look into Arbonne a little more. You can go to Arbonne.com, but the COMPENSATION is even more amazing! You can make anywhere from $300-31,000/ month at the different levels of management with Arbonne. It is VERY lucrative and gives people a chance to have choices in life and YOU DESERVE to have choices too!! (Watch their body language and LISTEN to their response). You are so NICE, you are the perfect person that can be WILDLY successful in this company and if you already like the products you should contact your consultant and ask them more about the business!!

If they are open to hearing more – Tell them that Arbonne has had massive growth in the past 4 years and share the success of the team that you are on and that you are going to be at the top of the company too!

How do you react when someone PUTS UP A WALL after you mention Arbonne?

If they are hesitant or put a wall up –

Tell them you know people USUALLY put up a wall when someone shares information about a Network Marketing company with them. I USED TO DO THE SAME thing!! But then someone shared with me what NWM REALLY is and all that it does for people JUST LIKE you that working hard to get ahead but not happy with what you have to do to make that happen for your family. This is the only VIABLE option for MOST NORMAL people like you and me have, to start and be the OWNER of our own businesses, have control over our schedule. I still work hard, but I CHOOSE WHEN I WANT TO WORK, and make that $300-$31,000/month that I shared with you earlier. When you REALLY understand all that it can be…instead of thinking it is a pyramid, you might be willing to hear more so that IF you say “no”, you REALLY know what you are saying “no” to. That is all I ever want people to do is really HEAR about this opportunity, so that I know, you have heard this and you still don’t think that this is something that you and your family would want to take advantage of, for them. Then I can sleep at night knowing you aren’t like me that said “NO” to this opportunity for 3 years (or however long you thought about saying no) before I REALLY listened to what this has done for so many “NORMAL” people like you and me!

How do FIND A PERSON OF INFLUENCE at a party, in a group, etc and then START A CONVERSATION WITH THEM?

You look around the room and watch the people interact with each other! Who do you see “LIGHTING UP THE ROOM?” Where are the people congregated and who is KEEPING THEIR ATTENTION. That is your person of influence!!

You also want to look for the SHARPEST, BEST DRESSED PROFESSIONAL looking person in the room. Hopefully, that is the person that is lighting up the room as well, because they can be your ACE if they ever do this business with you!

You will go over and ask to join them and their group, because your friend/husband/boyfriend is busy talking with their buddies, etc. After listening to the group and joining in, WITHOUT TAKING OVER THE CONVERSATION, you can take out your HANDCREAM and ask them if anyone would like some. Conversation will start about the handcream and you can tell them that it is Arbonne and then ask if they have ever heard of it or used it.

How do you TEACH someone NOT TO ANSWER for his or her friends and family about wanting to come to a party, spending money on “stuff like this”, etc?

SHARING THE ARBONNE OPPORTUNITY

What do you say to someone that has changed their attitude about this opportunity since you first met with them?

I would remind them where we left off from our last meeting and BRING THEM BACK TO THE PLACE THAT THEY WERE EXCITED about Arbonne. If they act uncomfortable then I would say:

“How are you doing? What are you thinking or feeling? You seem a little distant or overwhelmed…(wait for their response). It is NORMAL to feel scared, overwhelmed or have second thoughts about doing something that you have never thought about doing in your life. But just because it is something different doesn’t mean it is bad that you are thinking about it. Many times when I talk to people about ALL that this can be for them and their family, they get VERY excited. Then they go home and share the idea with their family and friends and sometimes get a negative or protective response, which places doubt or fear in you. Let me ask you something…remember the other day when you were sharing with me how you wanted to stay home with your kids, make some extra $$, etc…is that STILL something you would like to do? Then I am asking you to let me show you how. I know it is scary to think about doing this, but let me teach, train, and support you so you CAN go and make that happen for your family.”

You could go on and explain why people have warned them against doing Arbonne… Protection of them, they are worried about how it will affect THEM, if you do get successful with Arbonne, etc.

DEALING WITH SOMEONE THAT HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE

What do you say when someone has had a bad experience with Arbonne’s opportunity or another Arbonne consultant?

I listen to them and what happened, so I know HOW to respond and then say:

“I am SO sorry that you had a bad experience with an Arbonne consultant or opportunity,( whichever one they are sharing with you). This IS such a WONDERFUL company and an amazing OPPORTUNITY that if you let me, I can show you how awesome it REALLY is.

If it was a bad consultant:

There are SOME people out there that hear about the money and the opportunity with Arbonne…sometimes they are trained by people who are trying to get rich quick, they are not trained AT ALL or have not plugged into the training that Arbonne provides for all of us. So when they sponsor people or sell products without the training they REALLY don’t know what they are doing, or they are doing it WRONG. That is what can result in a bad experience for clients or consultants that they are working with. Some people say they want to do this as a business, but they really are just doing it as a hobby and are not equipped to REALLY be a GREAT CONSULTANT for someone else.

However, I promise you this company DOES change lives and if you work with a consultant that uses Arbonne’s system for success, you can take advantage of all of the wonderful things this company gives us. If you are PERFECTLY happy with your life and you have all of the money and time that you need, or you did EXACTLY what you wanted to do today and spent time with the PEOPLE that you wanted to be with, then you know what…you don’t need to hear anymore about Arbonne, EXCEPT how amazing these products are, because even if you don’t need this opportunity, YOU will want the products because they are the best ones around. BUT…if you are RESTLESS and you would like some freedom and flexibility with your finances or how you live life, then I would SINCERELY encourage you to let ME show what this company can do for you and others that need a change.

What do you say when someone tells you they broke out with Arbonne after trying it just for a short period of time, after using another product that they were happier with?

“Did your consultant explain breakouts are COMPLETELY NORMAL when you use a product with ingredients that are so concentrated, powerful and GOOD for your skin that it will make some people breakout, because that is how it CLEANS OUT what is in your skin that NEEDS TO COME OUT. If you will let me work with you, I can help you get through that phase so that, ONCE YOU GET THROUGH THAT PHASE, you have the BEST skin that you have ever had, because these ingredients are so powerful and good for your skin!! You will GLOW, if you will let me HELP you. That is what we do…we are skin care CONSULTANTS, we are supposed to CONSULT with our clients to help; them with their skin concerns!

What do you say to someone that had a bad experience with another Arbonne consultant?

I am so sorry that you did not have a good experience with the consultant that you had helping you. That can happen if someone is new, not plugged into the training that Arbonne gives us on how to help our customers or if they are not TRULY DOING THIS AS A BUSINESS, yet try to teach someone how to do it when they don’t know what they are doing. But Arbonne really is such a WONDERFUL company and helps so many people. The products are amazing and have the BEST ingredients for your skin that you can find out there today and are formulated in such a way that they REALLY give you results. (Show a before and after sheet if you have one. Watch their body language and listen to their response. If you see their guard dropping go on and say the following).

I understand if you don’t want to hear anymore about Arbonne or their products, but I would love it if you would let me really HELP you learn more about our products, because if you love our products like I think you will, you may even want to hear about how this company changes peoples lives! (You can share the compensation summary). There really are only good things about this company and the products. They are not out to hurt anyone; they really just want to help you with either their products or the opportunity, whichever one fits for you.

If they say they will listen, share your information, samples, etc.

If they are not open to hearing anymore, give them a business card, and ask them to at least look at the website on their own and check it all out for themselves. They may see something they like and if they do, have them call you.

Someone who has done OTHER NETWORK MARKETING companies before and did not succeed or had a bad experience.

You know, I understand that if you had a bad experience with another company, how easy it is to lump them all into that same awful category. But I always use the scenario that if I was out of town and I ate bad Mexican food, and I LOVE Mexican food, that would not make me never eat Mexican food again! I just would not eat Mexican food at THAT restaurant! You obviously saw the BEAUTY OF HOW NETWORK MARKETING works or you would not have tried that/those other companies. We have a lot of people that have been in other NWM companies before without success but are leaders in OUR company today, living life the way they choose! I would love to share information with you about Arbonne and answer any questions that you have about our company, compensation plan, etc THEN if you are not interested that is fine. But at least you know what you would be saying NO to! Can I please help you do that? I can handle you saying “NO” to this, if I know you REALLY know what you are saying “no” to!

Someone tried your Arbonne products but BROKE OUT or had an ALLERGIC REACTION.

Now, if you TRULY HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION, where your skin became RED, SWOLLEN like hives or irritated, then you are sensitive to something in the products that you used. But we can help you figure that out, even if you don’t use Arbonne, you will want to know which ingredient you need to avoid in the future. Arbonne lists EVERY ingredient in EVERY product on their website. So we could go look at the products that you used and see if there is anything you know that you are sensitive to. Some people are more sensitive than others, but I promise you there will be something that we could find for you to use that you would be fine on! That is our job, as consultants, we are here to help you find products that are a FIT FOR YOU.

If people let me, I usually have them stop everything, let their face/reaction clear up and then we go VERY SLOWLY, doing test patches and trying one thing at a time until we find a regimen that works for you and gives your skin what it needs without things YOU OBVIOUSLY DON’T WANT!! I am so sorry, but do you think you would be willing to let me help you?

If not we have other products that are good for you, that we can show you and you will receive benefits and enhance the skin care that you are using.

GIVING SAMPLES AND GETTING FOLLOW UP INFORMATION

What do you say to a prospect to get their contact information to follow up on a sample or product that you are letting them use?

After talking with them about Arbonne, I always lead with the question “If you would like to try a sample, I can give you one to try. Just give me your information, phone number, email (address if you don’t have a sample on you) you can say “I will mail you a sample and overview sheet or catalog so you can try it and I will call you back in a few days and follow up to make sure you DON’T have any questions and see how you like it.”

If they act uncomfortable about giving me a sample –

I say “the only reason I need your information, is to follow up and make sure you don’t have questions once you start to use it.

If they still seem uncomfortable -

I say if you are uncomfortable giving me your information, that is ok… you DON’T HAVE TO TRY IT, I understand. Then I give them a BUSINESS CARD instead and say you know you should at least go home and look at our website, Arbonne.com. You will see how much goes into our products and having a product that is botanically based is so good for your skin. If you decide you DO WANT TO TRY my product, give me a call or email me. My information is on the card too. Thanks for your time. I hope you will check this out, I think you will LOVE what learn about our company and products! We really do have what people are already looking for in health and wellness!

What is the BEST way to get someone to call you back, after you have given him or her a sample to try? What do you say when after calling 3 and 4 times you have had no response?

I always try to get a chance to talk to the person first and not say it on a message. If after a few times of calling, I say “Hey, this is Carleeta again. I would really like for you to call me back…I am starting to get worried that I have not heard from you. Everything may be fine, but my head is starting to play games and I am worrying about YOU. Please call and let me know you are O.K. If I don’t hear from you I will call back in a few days! Hope things are great with you!! Talk with you soon!

How do you get some to TRY A SAMPLE and then get their CONTACT INFORMATION for follow up?

If they act uncomfortable about giving me a sample –

I say “the only reason I need your information, is to follow up and make sure you don’t have questions once you start to use it. (If they still seem uncomfortable, I say if you are uncomfortable doing that, that is ok, you DON’T HAVE TO TRY IT, I understand. I give a BUSINESS CARD instead and say you know you should at least go home and look at our website, Arbonne.com. You will see how much goes into our products and having a product that is botanically based is so good for your skin. If you decide you DO WANT TO TRY my product, give me a call or email. My information is on the card too. Thanks for your time. I hope you will check this out, I think you will LOVE what learn about our company and products!

How do you get someone to try Arbonne, when they LOVE their current product or they “USE THE TOP OF THE LINE” or a “Physician RECOMMENDED brand”?

After I have asked for them to try my sample and I get that response, I would say.

“That is so cool that you CARE THAT MUCH about your skin and have experienced TOP OF THE LINE skin care products. Ok…I have to ask because I LOVE ARBONNE, but I am looking for testimonials from other people that know good skincare. Will you please use it and tell me HOW IT COMPARES to the product that you are using? That would help me learn more about my product from someone who knows skincare and I would so appreciate you opinion!”

PAINTING THE PICTURE

How do you PAINT THE PICTURE about what this business can be FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILY?

LISTEN to them and what they are saying their family “NEEDS”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then I say “Have you ever thought about doing something different, if what you are doing right now is not working for you?” Or, “have you ever thought about the statement “if you would like things to change, you have to change what you are doing, to get different results?”

I don’t know if it would be a fit for you or not, but have you ever heard of Arbonne? Or…You should think about letting me help you do what I do? RESPONSE - What is it that you do? I help change peoples lives, by teaching them how to build a business out of their home, where they are their own boss with a company that compensates their management levels at a range from $300-$31,000/month based on how hard they work.

You are the perfect person that can benefit from an opportunity like this one. You are a HARD WORKER, but are tired of not getting paid what you are worth and stressing over how to make the ends meet, or maybe you are getting paid well, but are tired of the rat race for you or your spouse and you want more freedom and flexibility to ENJOY your life. Either way, if you are restless, like you are saying, this is something that you should learn about. It may not be the right fit for you, but it is worth investigating, I promise, because if it is a fit for you, it could be an answer to your prayers!

How do you PAINT THE PICTURE for people to see the Re9 does not cost much, when you consider how much you spend on EVERYTHING else you wear to look your best?

Before showing Re9 at a one on one or at your party, first tell them you want them to close their eyes:

“Imagine yourself in front of your closet when they are getting ready for their day. Can you SEE all of the clothes you have hanging, shoes, belts, purses and all of the accessories…you pick out an outfit to wear, put it on, look in the mirror to check out HOW GOOD YOU LOOK. If you don’t feel good in that outfit, you may even change and put on something different. You do all of this just so you will LOOK AND FEEL YOUR BEST all day.”

Ok, you can now open your eyes and I want to ask you a question…

What is the ONE THING YOU WEAR WITH EVERY OUTFIT? Answer – YOUR FACE/SKIN!!!

I am so excited to show you the Arbonne skin care products and help you look and feel your best everyday with everything you wear!!

It is cheaper and safer than cosmetic surgery and YOU WEAR IT WITH EVERY OUTFIT!

I also explain how it is SOOOO CONCENTRATED that you use TINY amounts of each product. A little bit goes a long ways!! A system will last anywhere from 4-9 months with some of the pieces that you use. When you think about how much you have to use of a product that is NOT CONCENTRATED and how often you are spending money replacing it, you sometimes even SPEND LESS on our products than what you are using currently and the results you will get are BETTER!!!

DEALING WITH UNSUPPORTIVE FAMILY & FRIENDS

How do you deal with FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE?

I try to educate them about what and WHY I am doing this business and what it takes to make it work. I also explain and share stories of what it is going to GIVE to our family. If they are still unsupportive, I ask them to agree to disagree. Even though they don’t agree with it, to please not say anything at all to me about it and I won’t say anything to you. SET BOUNDARIES and tell them that you don’t expect them to believe in Arbonne, the products, or network marketing, but you do need them to believe in YOU…PLEASE!!!

REWARDING YOUR HOSTESS WHEN PEOPLE SIGN UP WHOLESALE

How do you REWARD YOUR HOSTESS when everyone at the party signs up WHOLESALE?

I explain to everyone at the party, when I am explaining 3 ways to win with Arbonne, that they:

“You can sign up as a wholesale consultant and get their products for at least 35% off tonight.”

I don’t tell them all of the other specials, etc. When I am getting their information, I ask for the booking and when they say they will do a party, I explain that we will sign them up at their party and they will win all of the hostess rewards at their party, but tonight “Mary” is our hostess and gets the rewards for her party.

If they don’t book a party for you, but still sign up wholesale:

I charge them the extra shipping for their sign up and get them registered as a consultant, but I put all of the orders under “Mary” our hostess tonight.

Then I call that consultant back before the end of the month and see how they are liking their products, during my follow-up. I ask if they have any questions, then I say “I also wanted to let you know that when you place a $100 PRV order on your ID number in the same calendar month that you signed up with Arbonne, you get to pick out another item out of the catalog…ANY SINGLE ITEM that they want, absolutely FREE!! It could even be the $72 Re9 Night Cream!!! I can also help walk you through the ordering process on line if you need my help the first time you order on line with Arbonne.

Offer them their RSVP for them and their family or show them how they can share it with friends or family, this month ONLY!!!

ONE-MINUTE COMMERCIALS FOR NWM GROUPS

What do I say for my 1 minute commercial that I have to give at my NWM group?

Hi, my name is _________, I am excited to be here today, representing my company, Arbonne International! It is over a 26-year-old personal care products company with over 300 different products that people use on a daily basis. All of our products are a part of the HEALTH & WELLNESS INDUSTRY. Which is predicted to be the NEXT 1 TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY IN JUST THE NEXT FEW YEARS! That is a one of the KEY components or reasons for Arbonne’s phenomenal GROWTH in the past 4 years. We have doubled in sales, after 26 years in business, with millions of dollars in sales/year. Last year our company went from a 200 million dollar company with a 164% growth in sales to a 450-500 million dollar company. All of our products HAVE TO BE PURE, SAFE and BENEFICIAL, they are and ALWAYS HAVE BEEN and always will be botanically based. They are proprietary to Arbonne, dermatologist and pediatrician tested; we don’t use animal products, animal by-products, mineral oil, chemical dyes or fragrances! We have what people are ALREADY looking for in personal care products, we just have tell them what we have.

There are only 4 management levels in our company and the top-level managers in Arbonne last year, made an average of 31,000/month from Arbonne! (see our compensation summary). Arbonne has a system that fosters success in this company because of the training and support that Arbonne and their committed leaders provide to their consultants. There is room at the TOP of this company for all of us!

I am proud to be here representing my company, as an independent consultant, with Arbonne International!! Thank you for your time!!

TALKING WITH SOMEONE THAT IS INVOLVED IN ANOTHER NWM COMPANY

What do you say to another consultant from another Network Marketing Company?

How exciting to talk with someone that sees the BEAUTY in NWM like I do!! We should trade contact information and support each other as we grow our businesses. Sometimes I even do OPEN HOUSES, where I invite other home based businesses to join in and we share our products with each other’s contacts! These are a BLAST!

DEALING WITH THE IDEA THAT WE ARE SATURATED

What do you say to consultant or prospect that says your area is SATURATED?

I know everyone says that and you may believe it, but I it is my job to teach people how to connect with people that will take you out of the area that has more Arbonne in it than most. Everyone ONE person you know, knows 250 people AT LEAST. It just takes one person to get you connected to a different area that will change the course of your business.

Once you get connected to a few local people, you then end up getting connected to people that live ALL OVER THE NATION!! Your organization will start to look like the airline diagrams that show you everywhere they can fly you!! It is like a spider web of consultants that connect you to EVERY part of this nation and we have not even gone fully international yet!!! It is so exciting, how much room for growth, this company has and WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE FOR PEOPLE THAT LEARN HOW TO THINK WITH ABUNDANCE not scarcity. I am looking for people that will let me help show them HOW to get connected to enough people that they will see their business, look like a WEB ACROSS THE NATION!!! Will you let me HELP you learn how to do that?

Ask people WHO they know somewhere else that needs help. (Use Verbiage from previous example of not wanting to give referrals.)
