    When I was first diagnosed as Type One Diabetic, my cousin, who sells Arbonne, tried to get me to buy the shakes with the intent of revamping my health and curing me of T1D. I think she was confused with what I have (T1D) and type 2 diabetes which can be 'cured' with weight loss, exercise, and a controlled carb intake diet. It was crazy.

      My hyper religious aunt thinks I can pray away my panic disorder, fibromyalgia, or my debilitating migraines which are severe enough to hope for unconsciousness or death. My migraines started from genetics and a head injury. They are severe enough to potentially cause frickin brain lesions. But sure auntie, it must be something I ate, not like my doctors didn't rule that out repeatedly over the last 20 years. I'm sure praying will heal me from it, especially if I take vitamin supplements.🙄

    @Sparkle__Punk 4 года назад +72

    $300????? Yikes!! Also (certified personal trainer here), no supplement alone causes real weight loss. The only supplement that can possibly help support weight loss efforts is caffeine, which obviously should only be taken in the appropriate dose. And caffeine isn't magic - it only boosts metabolism by a couple extra hundred calories a day at most, so if lifestyle changes arent made that little bit of calorie deficit can easily be negated by eating an extra snack. Any weight loss Arbonne people see is a result of their lifestyle changes, not the "vitamins" they're throwing money at.
    Btw i love the Regina George comparison! 😂 She sounds so awful!! And i feel so bad for Gretchen - no one should ever be body shamed, especially by a coworker/supervisor!

      @frubarox2 4 года назад +2

      Please don't put me on blast, but honestly as far as mlms go I think arbonne is very mild. Its discouraged to buy stock and at most you can lose a few hundred dollars getting started. I know that's still a lot for some people but it's better than the thousands of dollars people lose to things like lularoe where you have to buy stock.
      Also the nutrition line is actually marketed as a lifestyle change within the company, no matter what some misguided rep says it may cure.
      Don't get me wrong, I do think arbonne has its flaws, but it tries to better itself despite the mlm format which is why I continue to buy the products.

    There is a festival that happens not far from me called "The Gathering of the Vibes" and it's the exact opposite of this which is why I find the "Pure Vibes" title kind of hilarious. That festival is all about dirty hippies getting together and partying, which I can totally respect because they don't hurt anyone. The worst thing I can think of is that they kinda mess up traffic flow for a few days and the smell can be intense. Arbonne "Vibes" feel all wrong to me...

    I lost almost11 pounds because of a side effect of sertralin in a short span of time. I went from 111 to 102 in 3 months, I got no hunger, it took me months to get my appetite back. Put it on top of a already present desordered eating problem I turned over eating into undereating. Encourage people to lose weight and you can make someone's life hell.

Our guitarist and I had such a huge feeling this was shady and it’s finally been confirmed!!! Thank you for adding clarity.

They did this simple four shadow look on me that I didn't really like, and then put pressure on my mom to buy those shadows. It was like, $50. I still have them, but not to use, just to remind me to not go to those kind of functions.

  • @justinkelsey9218
    @justinkelsey9218 4 года назад +2

    To expand on the pricing you mentioned in basic economics the equilibrium price is where supply and demand meet to create the most profit and units sold in a market. MLMs have to price their products out of the market to cover commissions and most products are sold to "distributors" rather than retail end users because the only time enough value is presented to make a sale is when its sold in conjunction with an "amazing income opportunity" it will really put the MLM business model to the test over the next couple years as we see what happens with Advocare now that the MLM business model shut down. If they go under it will prove the illegitimacy and unsustainability of their retail operations proving that they were an illegitimate company riding on people's hopes and dreams and not actual market demand for their products.

The only way to make money is to recruit someone and convince them to invest over 1000$ for starter kits. Then you have to train them to recruit other people and tell them why it’s a good idea to invest 1000$. Imagine if you are able to recruit 10 people in a month and convince them to invest 1000$. There is no way you will make money if you sell the products. I know this from people that were on the top in MLM they told me it was all done by people investing in their starter kit and never by selling.

    @timothyulrey4508 3 года назад

    I wrote down ALL of the reasons I hated MLM's below and found ONE that solves ALL of the reasons to hate MLM's!!!
    PROBLEMS:
    1) Recruiting only is the business model, and members are forced to buy stuff they can get at walmart for cheaper - that's just dishonest.
    2) The products have cheap competition that work perfectly fine (walmart has shakes, makeup, food containers), which means less selling for you!
    3) Per #2, you are forced to keep buying overpriced BS to stay in the business.
    4) Per #2: MLM members are forced to cry, do jumping jacks, lie, etc., to make the sale because... there is no reason to buy it from them; it's at Walmart.
    5) Inventory: I don't want boxes of overpriced crap in my house.
    6) In person demos: no thanks - gas is expensive and traffic stinks
    7) Saturation of salespeople: most people you approach have already been approached (plus can buy the crap at Walmart)
    8) Need vs Want: No one actually needs this crap.
    WHAT (so that the problems solved - below - make sense with context)
    What if the product gives both members and customers access to lawyers for $1/day? It/s mobile, not something you put in your body. Covers up to 300 hours of pre-trial/trial defense (you get sued - kid falls down your stairs), they write your will (easily $500 alone w/out it), you call with questions about where to start with something (advice), they will write letters to the DOT if a snowplow breaks your mailbox and you want payment for it, a small business owner needs legal docs reviewed before submitting (15 pages), you get a speeding ticket and want a lawyer to rep you in court and keep your driving record..... legal services that are pre-paid / free with the membership of less than $1/day?
    WHY IT SOLVES EVERY MLM HATRED PROBLEM
    1) Recruiting: Let's say a member ONLY recruits. That's still perfect. Why? Because the EXACT people who join MLM's are folks who need money - those are the SAME people who benefit the MOST from the service as they could never afford a lawyer, but now they have prepaid legal services on speed dial, literally speed dial, and then, they help others to solve 2 problems at once (no money, no lawyer access). I.e. Your recruits ARE your best target market whose lives literally get better. BEAUTIFUL.
    2) Lawyers are expensive. Now they are on speed dial with dozens of common lawyer services - from big to small - totally pre-paid = ease of mind.
    3) Covered in #1, new members' lives are literally better and more secure now for less than $1/day.
    4) No crying, jumping jacks, or lying. The product is a no-brainer and cannot be bought at Walmart.
    5) It's mobile.
    6) Zoom and automation. Your content becomes omnipotent marketing where your digital self is talking to people about it while you sleep.
    7) Since you do not know anyone with this service (or very few), then clearly it is not oversaturated = tons of opportunity to make cash!
    8) People need lawyers. Plain and simple.
    So why not make money with it? Click my link below! Let's make money together without my preying on your buying cheap crap every month!

    I realized recently I was given the Arbonne pitch. I was a single mom of a baby, working part time as a bartender under the table. I was eating one meal a day bc I needed to be able to afford the expensive af organic non dairy food for my 11 mos old. (Fortunately for me she still nursed so I could afford to eat once daily.) They sold me on the products and I really wanted them, but when they talked about me selling the sht, I was squirming thinking about me trying to sell $300 skincare to the immigrants I worked with and the moms on food stamps I knew. My sister bought me the kit. It was ok. Her midwifes daughter was her friend and her sister has been a crack head but now had her sht together and was selling Arbonne. I guess she did well bc she was able to get breast implants. But it never occurred to me to try and sell it bc I didn’t know anyone who could afford it. Plus I hate selling to ppl. I’m more of a recommender. I was really uncomfortable, but now I feel bad for my past self. I felt poor and pathetic but at least I wasn’t selling a pyramid scheme to desperate young moms.

    The level of "worship" people have for anyone above them in these organizations is what gets me about these things. So weird. The way they talk about people behind people's backs is EXACTLY like Mean Girls. It's too bad these things are so culty. I mean, it's an opportunity to sell pretty good products without having to come up with your own stuff to sell and an opportunity to be independent. Except you have to be part of their weird culty team.

    My co-worker sent me a link to work as a consultant under her and I was honestly so offended. I thought, How dumb does she think I am?? But maybe she was just naive enough to believe she could make money on it. Who am I to judge?

      No way thank you! 🙈🥰🌟💜 I think we all get used to our appearance over time, I keep to myself a lot so I’m not really used to thinking about it! That’s so sweet and really means a lot that you feel that way. Also, love your pink hair!! It’s inspiring me 😍
