How to Do an In-Person Event
Tips can be used for any type of an in-person Arbonne event
Note From Val
Having a group presentation is an AMAZING way to expand your network, build relationships, gain customers, find your new business partners, get volume to help with your promotion, make money, and to get future bookings.
If you want to get into some major momentum; having at least 8 group presentations a month on your calendar is a GREAT way to do that! ( Example: If you have 8 group presentations a month and even 4 people are at each group presentation, that is 32 people you are getting in front of in a month. Your goal is to get in front of 40 total! Also, if the average presentation accumulates around $500 in sales and you have 8 group presentations a month on your calendar that hold, that is an average of about $4000 a month that you will most likely have JUST from the volume you sale at your presentation. That isnt including if you have a team that is duplicating what you are doing! )
Use the notecards that you can print off on this smore link to bring with you to each presentation to use as a guide. The first few pages are really for YOU to prepare and know what to do before the presentation starts. You want to be as duplicatable as possible.
( Remember everyone is watching you, you want your guests to feel like they can do what you are doing too! Using your notecards shows how duplicatable this can be!)
Be yourself, have fun, and remember that they dont know what you dont know. Dont feel like you have to know everything, its okay if you are a little nervous, that is normal! We all have to start out somewhere!!
People are looking for community and looking for a company that has the type of culture we have in Arbonne. Take the time to get to know each person and make them feel special. Go out of your way to interact with the guests. This one presentation can change their life as well as yours! Just remember to have fun!!
Watch the video below to view me doing an actual presentation using the notecard presentation cards.

Val Shares Tips to Prepare for Your In Home Group Presentation + Hostess Coaching Tips
Tips to Coach Host Before Your Presentation
Talk with the host about their interest regarding both business and products.
Give the host samples of products to try at least a week before their event.
Remind the host to send out the invitation via text or FB, depending on how they are promoting their event & to also text or voice text an invite to guess with a reminder the day before the event.
Offer the host a product from the Free Gift List if they get outside orders collected before their event (from those that cannot attend in person).
Have the host share with you a bit of info about guest she/he invited so you can have an idea of who will be in attendance (its great to know if they think there could possibly be someone great at the business or as a future host).
Let host know you will bring protein balls and
fizz for refreshments & remind them that they don’t need to have a bunch of snacks or food.
Be sure to stay in touch with the host each weekly before the event, so they don’t lose their excitement for hosting a presentation themselves & also for earning their 35%-50% off host perk link.

Suggested Voice Texts to Host Day Before & Morning Of Event
Example Text- Morning of Event : “Hi Sara, I wanted to let you know I am planning to arrive about 30 minutes before your presentation to get everything set up. Let me know if there is anything you want me to bring that you can sample before your event! I am so looking forward to seeing you!”
Tips for Prep once you have arrived at the Presentation
Once you arrive at the event, ask the host where they want you to set everything up.
Give the host the protein balls & fizz packets to sit out for guests to sample when they arrive
Sit the catalogs & guest packet info out along with a pen in the area where your guests will be sitting.
Put the Body Scrub & Lotion next to the sink. Let the host know you will be doing hand scrubs on a hand of each of their guests as they come in (this is a great ice breaker for you and a little pamper treat for them!).
Tips for When the Guests Start to Arrive
Have the host lead the guests to the area where you will be doing a hand scrub on their hand (Sometimes they want to do both but doing just one allows them to really see and feel the difference. Engage with them in a conversation that will allow them to feel more comfortable with you and so you can find out a little bit about their interests & background).
After they have done the hand scrub, have them grab a drink and snack. Then, have the host guide them to sit down where the presentation will be. Tell them to start filling out the Guest Profile Sheet/Wish List Sheet. Let them know that you will do a draw at the end of the presentation for everyone who fills out the personal info section on the profile sheet.
Make sure you don’t keep the guests waiting: especially those that have arrived on time. Even if there are guests coming late. I would suggest not waiting any longer than 15 minutes after the scheduled presentation time out of respect for those that come on time.

Opening of Presentation Once the Guests are All Seated
Host will thank everyone for coming,share why she/he wanted to host, and then they will share their favorite Arbonne product or products.
Have the host officially introduce you to the guests. Thank everyone for coming, and then say,
“ Before getting started, I would love to have everyone share their name, how they know the
host, and share, if I gave each of you a magic wand to change anything regarding your skin or health, what would it be?” (This is a great ice breaker and allows you to know some of the product lines they will be interested in hearing more about).
Welcome & Opening of Presentation
Share a brief intro of yourself:
What you did before Arbonne
• How you were introduced to Arbonne
• Why you decided to start Arbonne
• What your life is like now because of Arbonne/
or what your intent was to start
• An invitation to take a look at the business for
themselves.”
“As I begin tonight, I wanted to recommend to you that as I go through the product lines I am sharing tonight, if you find yourself interested in something I talk about; use the Wish List section on your Client Profile Sheet, to jot the name of the product down, so you will remember what products you potentially would like to order.”
“Tonight, I am going to share with you what I like to call -My Healthy Living From the Inside & Out Presentation. Over the next 30 minutes or so, I will share a little bit about Arbonne as a company & brand, a bit about our industry & product difference.

5 Areas of Focus for 30 Days
1. SUPPORT YOUR BODY’S NATURAL FUNCTIONS AND ELIMINATION ORGANS WITH CLEAN CHOICES
Our body’s elimination organs (kidneys and liver) and all of our other organs — such as the intestines, heart and skin (the body’s largest organ!)— are impacted by the nutrients we consume, the beverages we drink, along with the amount of sleep we get and the stress we experience.
Balanced nutrition and supplements can help support your body’s ability to function the way it was designed to work.
2. ELIMINATE FOODS THAT DON’T SERVE
YOUR BODY WELL Fuel your body with plant-based nutrients along with whole foods that deliver the macronutrients that your body needs — proteins, fat and carbs
Avoid refined sugar, alcohol, coffee, artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners that don’t support your overall wellbeing
3. AVOID COMMON ALLERGENS Many people experience discomfort from eating foods such as gluten, dairy and soy
Temporarily eliminating these from your diet will help you to identify whether you feel better without them in your daily diet
4. LEARN TO EAT INTUITIVELY - Instead of counting calories, learn to listen to your body’s cues that tell you when to eat or drink
A steady diet of balanced nutrients that’s higher in protein and lower in processed carbohydrates and sugars help to keep your body’s energy level consistent throughout the day. This helps you avoid the energy slumps that can lead to snacking and over-eating
5. CHOOSE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS WISELY -
Arbonne helps you establish healthy habits for your mind, body and skin
Formulated with plant-based ingredients and co-developed with experts; Arbonne provides nutrition products that are formulated vegan, gluten-free and without dairy, in addition to abiding by a stringent Ingredient Policy that prohibits over 2,000 ingredients and endures scientifically rigorous testing
These are the foods which are not beneficial for you & will be AVOIDED while you are following the 30-Day program:
Artificial Sweeteners e.g.s sucralose and aspartame
Alcohol Coffee
Dairy
Wheat
and gluten-containing foods
Soy
Fermented soy such as organic, non-GMO tempeh is an acceptable vegan protein option.
Each Set Comes With These Four Products, Plus Customizations

** Ask everyone who filled out the Client Profile Wish List Sheet to give them to you now, so you can do a quick draw. (I like to use the Sheet Mask or the Botaniques Body Wash as the draw gift.)
After the draw, thank everyone for coming, then sit close to the guests to help them with filling out their order form. Try to interact with the guests as much as possible so they dont get distracted and not order or leave before you are able to close their order.
Tips for Getting the Order
As you are placing orders for guests, if you notice someone hasn’t ordered the 30DHL or the Skincare System; ask them if they would be open to taking home a sample to try. If they are willing to try sample, jot their info down so you can mail them some samples or if you have some with you, you can go ahead and give them the samples to take home.
(Be sure you get their follow-up information & let them know you will be touching base with them to get their thoughts. This gives you the opportunity to have additional interactions with them).
If someone at the presentation seemed engaged & interested in what you were saying, ask them if they would be open to hosting an event themselves and/or if they would be interested in doing something like this as a business themselves?
(This is when you would give someone interested in hosting or the business; a take a look packet or a host packet.)
