My greatest hits

Posted on July 25, 2005 09:45 PM by Joel Comm

You never know which blog entries are going to stir the most controversy or interest. Here are a few posts in which the conversation seems to keep going and going and going...

  • To Arbonne or Not to Arbonne - My simple evaluation of the way the company conducts business online has turned into an all out battle of the Arbonners vs. Anti-Arbonners. I have NEVER said Arbonne was a bad business. In fact, I am still a consultant in case anyone wants to sign up. Tread carefully when you read the comments on this post!

  • Free Gmail Account - Once upon a time I posted that I had SIX (6) Gmail accounts to give away. To this day, I am inundated with Indians asking for a free gmail account. Go figure.

  • Seussical the Musical - Originally posted in March 2004, this thread continues to get comments from fans of this family-friendly show, including many from people who have had the opportunity to play one of the roles in their school version of the musical.

      I have noticed much animosity among this message board. I believe it is the lack of self-acumen or more commonly known as self-motivation. Those who believe in failure in their newfound endeavors will ultimately end with failure. As you know the “doubter” will always doubt, just as you cannot teach a dog new tricks. Lets observe Joel; he has excelled in the online Internet world and some various unknown tidbits. Moreover, from my personal experience from family and past to present coworkers, Internet based professionals lack that person-to-person zeal. In saying that, I believe you understand my line of reasoning here; or at least the picture should be clearer.

      Now some facts for the doubters: Firstly, if for any reason you wish to terminate your business relationship with Arbonne Intl. you may do so. Secondly, if for some reason you decided to purchase this huge $ amount of products that I keep hearing about you may return it with a letter of resignation for a 90% refund. Lastly, I am not quite sure if Joel actually read the SuccessPlan and Policies & Procedures Manual, especially, to Sections 8 – 8.2. Therefore, for all you individuals that think this company is a pyramid scheme tell me what type would let you do that. You do not have to ask your sponsor, DM, AM, RVP, or even NVP to get an “OK”. This is your own Arbonne Independent Consultant business and you may quit at anytime and purchase as little or nothing as you like. Actually, look at Arbonne’s Independent Consultant Code of Ethics, [five] “I will not advise or encourage excessive buying at unrealistic levels. I will resell at least 70% of all products or services that I purchase prior to purchasing additional products or services.”

      In addition, you mention that even the VPs at the top must spend money to be able to qualify showing that money must always come in. In fact, this is so the person still is actively out their selling and promoting the business just as you do. Did this reason ever cross your mind? You can also pass up your sponsor, DM, AM, RVP, and hit NVP or even ENVP. Furthermore, some individuals have numbers or think they have facts on $ that AM make on the $10,000 central volume and where the money is. An AM might not have any generations or they could have up to three (3) generations. Lets take a quick lesson on AM, as I have below.

      Your Central also meaning your personal sales included. Consultant (s) 4%, District 8%, and Area 6 %. Now, if you have another direct AM you promoted out to your same level you now have a 1st Generation and you now get 8% from that District and 6% from that Area. AM pays out up to three (3) generations.

      Well Joel, I am checking out of this place because it is obvious you did not do your homework. Next time please open your manual before making yourself look even more ignorant. If you ever have any questions, Arbonne home office is always pleased to help.

      Thank you to all the people who kept the spirit of Arbonne alive on this message board. You are the true leaders of yourself and your future and lets not forget about being a mentor for those who are willing.

      Truly yours,
      MJB
