Yes! We have lots of very easy to prepare food...everything is either "open and enjoy" or requires 2 or less ingredients. Very easy, but delish foods! I do home taste testing parties, it's SO much fun. It's nice to meet you, Arbonne is a wonderful company. Hope to get to know you better!
Katie,
I am currently a stay at home mom and I am looking for some work that I can do from home onthe computer do you have any ideas???? Let me know. Thanks
We both are customers, but also have a wonderful business at the same time! Thats whats great about it, you can be simply a customer, or a customer/business builder. Thats where the benefits come into play!

Thanks for everyones ideas! I do have a question for any independent sales reps out there. With Partylite I went through all my family and friends for parties and now I have no one, how do you book your parties or get your orders?
I've never had a problem with bookings. In over 4 years with Tastefully Simple, I have always been blessed with 6-10 parties per month, and I generally have to pass parties along to my team members in the 4th quarter because it just gets too insane!
A couple of questions to ask are (1) Is my product marketable and desireable? (2) Is the market saturated with the product I am selling and the number of consultants selling it? (3) Do I really love and have a passion for the product I sell?
Then, you need to make sure you are talking about your company/products to everyone! Wear logo wear for your company, have a sign on your car, always have catalogs and business cards with you for those spur of the moment conversations, and most importantly make sure your parties/shows are FUN! People want to re-create a fun experience. so if you are having fun, and your guests are enjoying themselves the bookings will come.
Most importantly, though, is ASK, ASK, ASK!!! You are not being pushy when you are offering someone the opporunity to earn free products with your company. I ask every single person at checkout when they would like to get their taste-testing parties scheduled. The worst that will happen is that they will say no, which leaves me no worse off than if I hadn't asked in the first place. Many people want to host a party (or join your team) but they are too shy to make the first move...so just ask!
I would love to share with anyone interested how to have a business with Mary Kay.
The company has a new ,fresh look but still has the wonderful skincare products that improve skin in as little as three days.
The training and support I receive is awesome. Everything from how to make a plan that works, setting up a business budget, sharing the opportunity, servicing customers and most importantly how to have on going bookings. Without much effort I was able to replace my teaching income to stay at home. I started my business with $100.00 and made that back in the first two hours I worked. I am starting now to have reorders which increases the amount of money I make. Products that are in demand and are commsumable almost gaurantee reorders and new business.
OK I have been here before. There are a couple of things you can do to get things kick started again!
Hope that helps some. These aren't anything new (i'm sure) it is really just getting on phone and making the calls (which I totally hate)!
Good luck -- if you have any questions e-mail me at kim.stlmoms@gmail.com
I too WAH as a consultant for Tastefully Simple (Hmmmm.... I think I know you Tami!) and am loving it. I haven't been a SAHM for very long, but I'm glad we made this choice.
If you have the extra cash then get a booth at a craft show. I've heard people do very well there.
Some other ideas for you:
I'm sure I'll think of more!
