Why I chose Arbonne, Part I

I am a relatively new Arbonne consultant, and I am still learning to deal with the look friends and family give you when you get into direct marketing. That look, I know, holds people back, we all want to feel pride in what we do, and what people think, quite honestly, matters. I had to get past that, as well as many other obstacles to even begin to start my own network marketing business. I was like a lot of people, I really truly thought it was not for me, initially.

I recently had a conversation with someone at the post office about Arbonne products, and received a negative response, Apparently, while at a party, she purchased an $8.00 product and after tax and shipping as charged over $20.00. Needless to say, she was not impressed and even after being assured that I would not treat her that way, she refused a catalogue or my card. This is what really led me to several days of thinking about my own journey from being outspokenly anti-direct network marketing to being a gung-ho Arbonne consultant.

For the next few days (however long it takes), I am going to outline my arguments against starting my business (I am sure many, if not all will be familiar to you)and what caused me to work past them..and why I am glad to have done so!

The birth of an Arbonne mom

Hi! My name is Carli Clark, and I wear many hats, but this blog is dedicated to my journey as an Arbonne Independent Consultant in beautiful Southeast Tennessee. I am a mother of three incredible daughters. I have a degree in biochemistry, and most of my employment has centered around health care, but I have found myself fortunate enough to be currently staying at home with my children. Arbonne not only provides my household with amazing products, but the freedom to provide additional income while working from home.

I am a lucky woman...who also happens to have super sensitive skin, with a unique ability to be oily, dry and acne prone all at the same time. One of my toddlers seems to have inherited my finicky skin and is prone to rashes and blemishes, as well. I am also coping with post baby weight loss and IBS effects. Basically, I am like everyone else...like YOU....with the average physical maladies we all suffer to one degree or another. Arbonne products have been on the forefront of my life helping me through these obstacles and I intend to use this page to share with you my experiences with the Arbonne business and products.
