I tried to "do" Arbonne. The group I was with was doing the Sibley Gammon's Puppy Dog approach - no parties or anything just getting people to sign up to order the product themselves and get others to use it. They explained it much better, but now it sounds like a pyramid scheme. Spent a small fortune in trying to work it to no avail. I got a few people to sign up, but felt too pushy to ask people to personally invest that much money to get others to sign up. I personally love the products and still use them. good luck to you!
