• The biggest blessing we have to offer someone is actually not our products, although they are fantastic. The best thing we can offer someone is this business. You're here because this business offers you something you need: additional money, choices, flexibility, time with kids or family, travel, hope, etc. You're not alone. Other people, people you know, want and need those same things. 

​

• In addition to that, although many people promote to District Manager on their own, to advance to Area Manager and above ($1000 plus paychecks), you need business partners. And let me promise you, you WANT business partners. Nothing is more exciting than helping someone else get ahead and growing a business together. 

​

• Sharing the business opportunity is an important skill to learn when you're starting your business. This step will give you some practice doing just that. Make a list of 10 people you'd love to work with. Who do you admire? Who would be a lot of fun? Who is already influential in their life of line or work? Those are the people you should put on this list. I want to encourage you not to pre-judge anyone. You might think your lawyer friend wouldn't be interested in this because she already makes good money, or your stay-at-home-mom friend already has all the time flexibility she needs and would never consider this.  The truth is, many professionals feel trapped in their income bracket and desire more time, and many who seem to have time have sacrificed financially to do it. There are plenty of lawyers, doctors, CEOs, SAHMs, teachers, nannies, students, and retirees in this business already. 95% of people who start are full-time working parents. That means busy people do Arbonne! Let your top 10 decide for themselves if they're interested. And if they're not, they might know someone who is. 

​

• Here's the reality: if you're sure they're not interested, then you lose nothing by asking. If they say no, well, that's what you expected, so no harm, no foul. But what if they say yes?

​

• If someone from your Top 10 list is a "no thank you" to getting on a business Zoom, be sure to invite them to your launch or ask them for a one-on-one. You can also ask them if they'd be open to hosting for you.

​

• Goals of sharing the business:

  • ​You can go District Manager as a team of one, but it's much harder to promote beyond that and access the higher levels of pay, bonuses, and benefits. Business partners help us promote.​​

  • I am willing to bet that the majority of the things on your 21 Reasons Why Arbonne list require a $ 1,000-plus monthly paycheck to start checking them off. Sharing the business allows us to leverage our time. That allows us to be in more than one place at once, so to speak. When we teach and train others to do what we're doing, we're duplicating ourselves and our efforts. Imagine if you had 10 of you cleaning your house. You'd get a lot farther a lot faster, right. The same is true here. 

  • When we're sharing the business, people say yes (similarly, when we're not sharing the business intentionally, we don't gain business partners. Myth: "They will tell me if they're interested." It almost never happens). When people say yes, they launch their business! Their launch demos fill our calendar. We meet new people, new potential clients, new hosts, and new business partners. When people are launching, our calendar stays full, our network keeps growing. 

​

• When reaching out to your top 10, DO NOT cut and paste the following and send to everyone. Personalize and add your own voice. This is meant to be a blueprint to give you an idea. The goal is that they might be intrigued but also blessed by your message. 

​​

Break the ice:

"Hey ______! I wanted to reach out to you and ask you a question that is super out of left field. I just recently partnered with Arbonne, a health and wellness brand, and I'm not sure if you keep your options open for additional income, but I'd love to share with you what I do.

​

Compliment:

I thought of you because you are super hardworking, and remind me of a lot of the women who have had success. (Feel free to be as genuine and specific as you can for each person)

​

Question: 

I'm having a quick little zoom on (date and time) to share some more information about this. After listening, this might not be the right fit for you, and it's okay if it's not, but if I sent you the link, would you be open to hopping on to learn more? 

​

* After your first scheduled zoom for your top 10, you can invite people to the scheduled Discover Arbonnes that we share via voxer, or you can always send a recorded call. Two examples below.
