Hello my Arbonne readers,

This post is for you. (And actually if you’re not part of Arbonne, you can still benefit, so read on, and think of this as your sneak peek - every company goes through this.)

This weekend I did a training at a car presentation for a memeber of our Savvy Sponsoring program. (hehe Savvy helped put another Mercedes in another driveway!)

There was lots of talk about going back to the “party system,” and not using the “drop system” anymore.

Lots of talk about building for stability rather than speed.

But what I got most of all is that people are all over the map!

Look, here’s the deal. It’s critical to focus on making sure people have the correct tools to do the business. Some people will buy 4 sets, or 6 sets or 8 sets. Some will buy one set.

Front loading is when someone is “talked into” buying more sets than they can use or will use. That’s not a system, it’s manipulation.

I got picked up at the airport by a young woman who is working a solid Arbonne business. She started at the $29 wholesale buyer level. She saved the money she made from her parties until she could buy her first set. She’s now a solid Area and working steadily toward Region.

Your income does not need to seesaw. Your income does not need to be affected by policy changes from the field or home office.

We’ve been hearing “system grumbling” for a while at Savvy. But this weekend put it into real focus for me. It’s time to talk seriously about systems and what they mean — and what they don’t mean. And how to ‘do’ them.

Take it from me who has been there and done that. Your income does *NOT* need to seesaw. It does *NOT* need to be affected by policy changes from the field or the home office.

So that’s exactly what we’ll do this Friday morning, Feb 16th at 9:00 am pacific time (that’s noon eastern time).
>> Click here to register It’s last minute because it’s THAT important we nip this in the bud.

Join us on this Open call (no fee, but only for now) to discuss:

How to implement the change around different systems.
How to coach your downline through these changes.
How to handle it when someone hears about someone who was frontloaded.

Come join us Friday for discussion and coaching where the rubber (Mercedes of course) meets the road. >> Click here to register

And hey, don’t hesitate to pass this around okay? This kind of grumbling - this kind of underground upset as it were - it can eat an organization from within if proper care isn’t taken. Not that that’s going to happen, but - Let’s make *SURE* it doesn’t, together, deal?

So first things first, book time in your calendar now for Friday, Feb 16th at 9:00 am pacific (noon eastern) >> Click here to register and be prepared for some real action to take afterwards.

Then, just as important, send this blog entry to everyone you know - that’s downline, upline, and crossline.

We welcome everyone to join in who could benefit. come one come all.

  1. Hi Jillian,

    I have been so busy with that other job I have that I just read your blog about speaking at the Arbonne Mercedes presentation. I very much appreciated the comments about front-loading and have been concerned about this very issue for some time in Arbonne. I’m sorry I missed your call because I would really love to hear what you had to say and what the group had to say. If that was a free call is there a way to access it? Or do you have one on one coaching on this issue I could arrange on a single call fee basis?

    Thanks, Deborah
