1. Determine your "why". What do you want Arbonne to do for you? This is most important for keeping your goals and vision in your minds eye.

2. Determine your financial goal. Do you intend to make Arbonne a primary income stream or a second income stream? 
 

a. Immediate financial goal __________________________________

b. 3-5 year financial goal __________________________________

c. How many hours can you commit each week to your business? _____________ 
 

a. Make a list of 100 names (don't worry, writing them down doesn't mean that you will call them) 

b. Listen to the product knowledge tape as many times as it takes to be comfortable with the 
    information.   Take notes in the margins of your Product Knowledge manual. $2 or in $65 start kit.

c. Read your Business Manual, listen to and watch the tapes in your kit, read the catalog, review all the contents of your Starter Kit. 

d. Order business cards 

e. Be a product of the product. Place your first order. You may wish to use the 1st RSVP to get all that you will need (skin care, hair care, cosmetics, nutritional supplements). RSVP #2 will help start your inventory. With a $100+ or RSVP order, you are entitled to one free product of choice. 

f. Visit www.successline.com and follow the link to SuccessLine support. Look at the available audio and videotapes and select some that interest you. Order them and listen over and over. 

g. Have a "Business Bag" with you at all times. You may want to use Arbonne's new "Artist Tote" which has tons of pockets and is very professional. Here are some of the possible contents: Catalogs, samples, "Discover Arbonne" audios and brochures, Hand Cream for people to try, Business cards. 

h. Have an "Arbonne Control Book". Here are some possible categories: This helps keep you organized.

•  Calendar with upcoming events and flyers you get from your upline 
•  Important numbers (sponsor, upline, conference calls) 
•  Prospecting List (list of your 100 - 200 names) 
•  Products you have lent or borrowed 
•  Orders 
•  Client List 
•  Sales 
•  Accent on Action 
•  Up Close 
•  SuccessPlan 
•  Goals 
•  Expenses 
•  Trips and Recognition Program 

4. If you intend to be an Arbonne Business Builder: 
a. Set aside an area in your home for doing business. This could be a dining room table. 
b. Put a professional greeting on your phone to let people know you are in business. No children on your outgoing message. 
c. Set up a separate bank account and charge card. 
d. Attend all trainings 
e. Listen to the Fast Track Conference Calls [see event calendar]
f. Tape of the month training via Successline Support 
g. Order "Making Time, Making Money in Network Marketing" by Rita Davenport through Arbonne International 
h. Order "Success at Home" by Sandra Tillinghast www.successathome.com 
i. Learn a 30 second commercial 50 you will be prepared to say what you do when you "bump into" someone.
 

Remember, you are in the sorting business, not the convincing business! 

5. From your list of 100 names, you will schedule 6 group presentations.  A group is 4-5 people.  You may wish to work with your sponsor to identify those you will call. Your sponsor may be able to do your first few classes for/with you as you learn.  SuccessLine Support has videotape available on group presentations by Donna Johnson. You can even have your class follow along with the tape. 

6. Talk to your sponsor to "roll play" how to ask for a class. 

7. Other "reaching out methods" includes craft fairs, calling on business that are appointment only (salons, tanning salons, nail salons, doctors, etc.); sample packs, trade shows, sponsoring meetings, bump into's,  one-on-ones, handing out  tapes, ads. Discuss with your sponsor those which interest/work best for you. 
 

8. Identify 3 people with whom you would like to work the business with: 

a. Name ___________________________
Why you thought of this person _______________________________________________

b. Name ___________________________
Why you thought of this person _______________________________________________

c. Name ___________________________
Why you thought of this person _______________________________________________
 

10. What level of income interests you? 

a. Earn enough to get your products "free"? You need 20-25 good clients. 

b. Earn a 2nd income stream? Do the above plus develop 100-150 wholesale clients. 

c. Become a business builder? Do a & b above plus find 3 people who also wish to teach others to do the same. 

12. What is a wholesale client? You may sponsor someone to open an Arbonne account so they can get their products at cost and even take advantage of Autoship. Who should you have do this? I suggest someone who is ALREADY using the Arbonne products. I also suggest you ask them to hold a group presentation first which will help them earn their Right Start Value Pack. You may ask them if they want to service those people or if they want you to service them. 

13. Remember to let the Arbonne tools "do the business for you." It's duplicable. Pretend you invested $50,000 in your business. What do you want your plan of action to look like? What do you intend to do tomorrow?
