January - Finding momentum!


“The great upside-down misconception about sales is that it is an effort to get something from others. The truth is that sales at its best—at its most effective—is precisely the opposite: it is about giving." - Bob Burg


Hello - it has been a little bit since I last shared anything about my success thus far with this amazing company - Arbonne.  As of last month I qualified for Area Manager and currently working diligently to become Area Manager!  Each day I am coming closer to that Mercedes AND building a team that is strong and willing to work for what they want.

You may think it is all about the money or what I can earn - but in reality it has nothing to do with those (maybe a little).  I love people and I most certainly enjoy hearing people share their successes and trials! You can be so much more when you decide to listen and truly hear what someone is saying - you will begin to see how the products you love will change another persons life!

I believe EVERYONE wants success - but not all of us are willing to use the elbow grease that is associated with success!

I have come to realize that having your own business is about being someone who gives - and desires to give without taking anything in return!  A book I recently started reading by Bob Burg; Go Givers Sell more has really intrigued me.  Why, you may ask?

What is the nature of selling?  To receive cash or some sort of value in exchange for your product or service, right?  True but more deeply it is about serving the person you are selling too - or attempting to sell to :).

I have realized something as I have been reading this book - people want/desire to be heard.  By understanding this I as the promoter of Arbonne products - I need to hear what my client wants and be educated enough to realize I have what they need!

This journey of being part of an MLM has guided me through places I never thought I would journey. I have done things that I didn't think I would do - I am certainly blessed that I was allotted this opportunity.

Most importantly I am blessed to have met so many new people and have had the opportunity to be a giver to many!  God Bless!
