Fortune is in the Follow Up!
Step by Step process for 15 Minute Virtual Party
Step 1) Ask to Host
Reach out to current customers, friends, and family members and ask them if they’d be open to hosting a (Healthy Living Inside & Out / Mind.Body.Skin., etc.) party for you.
COPY AND PASTE THIS VERBIAGE (EDIT AS NEEDED):
Hi (insert name)! I hope you’re doing well! I’m reaching out to ask, if you could earn free and discounted product, would you be open to hosting an online Facebook party? Mine are short and sweet, 15 minutes, and I’ll be doing product giveaways. I’ll keep the party open for 48 hours. If I sent you a couple of dates, would you be open to picking a 15-minute slot?
If they say yes, a sample response might be
COPY AND PASTE THIS VERBIAGE (EDIT AS NEEDED):
Great! I'm booking Monday and Wednesday (choose two days/times that work for you) evenings in (March), so let me know which day and time work best for you. I will set the group up and make you an admin so you can invite your friends and family. The party will stay open for 48 hours, and I will do a 15 minute live presentation with product giveaways for your guests. It's going to be a lot of fun, and of course I will gift you generously for hosting!
Step 2) Make Your Facebook Group
Note: For new consultants launching using FB event, we recommend naming the group "___'s Healthy Living Inside and Out" or "Mind. Body. Skin. with ____" so once the event is over, this can become your private "VIP" group for your PCs and prospects.
A) Watch this video to learn how to set up the Facebook group, edit settings and schedule the posts: https://youtu.be/Qm4OQNPW-zY
B) Save these photos (below step E) to your desktop or to your phone so your hosts/new consultants can choose a theme.
To save photos:
From your computer, you MUST first left-click on the image to open it in a separate window. Then, left-click on the CENTER of the image and drag it to your desktop to save.
From your phone, you MUST tap the image to open it in a separate window. Then, tap on the CENTER of the image and choose Add to Photos.
C) On the left hand side of your Facebook page, under Explore, click Create Group (or click Create at the top of Groups if on your phone). Name your group using the host or new consultant's name (i.e. "Shanna's Healthy Living Inside & Out"), choose "Private" for privacy option, add your Host and/or your upline to the group, then click Create Group.
NOTE: Please be SURE you set the privacy of the group to PRIVATE.
D) Fill out the description of the group on the right hand side of the group with sample verbiage like this:
COPY AND PASTE THIS VERBIAGE (EDIT AS NEEDED):
Come learn about healthy living to improve your mind, body and skin with Arbonne. At Arbonne we believe in a holistic approach to beauty, health and wellbeing, focusing on the whole person to help you flourish inside and out. Our product philosophy embraces the connection between a healthier mind, stronger body, and more beautiful skin.
Once it's posted, and you see it in the discussion thread, click the 3 dots on the top right of the post and mark this as an announcement.
E) You can post manually or schedule the posts. You can schedule a post by acting as if you're actually posting within the group, but instead of posting, click the clock on the left hand side of the Post button to schedule the post on the days/times laid out below.
NOTE: Make sure NOTIFICATIONS are turned ON to "All" when you set up your group, as it will not be that way when you set it up.
NOTE: Be sure to make your upline and/or host an admin in the group so they can go live!

Step 3) How to Invite
Coach your Host or new Consultant on how to invite (or if this is your event, act as if you're the host). Encourage them to cast a wide net and invite people from all over the country, as well as the other countries where Arbonne is (UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Poland).

Step 8) Post #4: 4 hours before the FB Live
EXAMPLE 1)
PINK OBSESSION: Strawberry Protein, Strawberry Fizz, New Lip Duos
Arbonne’s protein products are created with easy-to-digest plant-based protein derived from peas, rice and cranberries, making adding protein every day a simple part of any healthy living program. I love how versatile the protein is too - protein balls or bars, pancakes, waffles, muffins...something everyone will love! Check out some of my favorite protein recipes!
Fizz sticks temporarily help promote alertness and reduce fatigue with botanicals like Ginseng, B Vitamins, CoQ10, and chromium. A day without Fizz....oh wait, I have no idea what that would be like! #obsessed
Our new lip duos are amazing! I LOVE both colors! If you had to choose BLOOM or FLEUR, which one would you choose?
EXAMPLE 2)
CURRENT OBSESSION - FAVORITE DRINK COMBO!
Pomegranate Fizz, Mind Health and Skin Elixir! Fizz sticks contain a botanical blend that boost energy. Mind healthy supports cognitive performance, including aspects of memory and learning! Skin Elixir helps boost collagen for healthy looking skin, hair and nails! I cannot live without this afternoon pick-me-up!
Step 9) Post #5: The Day of the FB Live
New Consultant: 3-5 hours before the 15 min Live, new consultant will go LIVE for 2-5 minutes and share why they've partnered with Arbonne. Close the live by telling everyone how excited you are to see them on the live tonight at __pm EST (insert time zone)!

A special thank you to Eva Caluzzi for hosting. I have a huge passion for sharing Arbonne and helping others with their health.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn more, remain open, and try some new products. If anyone has any further questions, please reach out to me or have Eva connect us. I hope you learned some information that will make a difference in your daily life and pass it along to the people you love. From my family to yours, THANK YOU and stay well!
Important Tips for a Successful Event
1) You want your host to be excited for the event. If your host hasn’t tried products, be sure to get him/her some to try before the event. This will help the host have a personal testimony to share.
2) Be sure to friend request each person that is added to the group BEFORE the live takes place. Make a connection and thank them for being a part of the event. This will make following up easier and the goal is to build new relationships.
3) Night time really is best to hold these 15 minute FB events.
4) If you do more than one FB event in one night, then you will need 30 minutes between parties.
5) Anticipate some of the parties to be a bust. If you schedule 4 parties per week, that is 16 each month, so the busts won't matter.
6) Check in with the host during and after the event as people will want to order and they will likely be conversing with the host. Have your host put you in a 3-way text so you can answer any questions.
7) The fortune is in the follow up! If anyone shows any interest during the event, be sure to add them to your 100 person list and your VIP Facebook group so you can continue building the relationship.
Tips for Following Up After the Facebook Live
- You can post images of product bundles from the FB Mock Party – building nations! Group after the event is over. Make sure you don't share any prices, discount programs or how they can be a part of Arbonne on any of the posts because you want them to be in a DM, text or actual conversation with you and/or your upline.
- Have your Host/New Consultant connect you via Private Messenger or 3-way text with everyone who expressed an interest by commenting.
o If New Consultant, they will stay in the 3-way text with upline to learn how to engage with potential clients.
o If Host and they don’t want to be involved in the 3 way text after the intro, simply reply “Thanks so much (Host Name)! It’s so nice to meet you (Guest Name). I’ll text you separately so I can help you with any questions.
- Examples of initial 3 way message from New Consultant introducing Upline:
o Hi (Guest Name)! I saw you watched the live, so I wanted to introduce you to (Upline Name). (Upline Name) is a wealth of information, so if you have any questions or would like more information, this would be a great place to ask. - Then the consultant will ask some questions to get to know what’s important to the guest. For instance:
o Hi (Guest Name)! It’s so nice to meet you and thanks for watching my live! I saw you commented/checked in the poll that you were interested in ____. So what are your health goals?
o Hi (Guest Name)! It’s so nice to meet you, and thank you for watching the live and supporting (New Consultant/Host)! What was most intriguing to you? - Or, if they didn’t check anything, the Consultant/Upline can ask this:
o Hi (Guest Name)! It’s so nice to meet you! I’m curious, if there was one thing you could change or improve about your skin or your health, what would it be?
o Hi (Guest Name)! If I could wave a magic wand and grant you one wish for your skin or your health, what would it be?
- You’ll also want to do a 3-way message for each Guest that didn’t engage. Simply ask them if they’ve watched the Facebook live. This is important for parties where there is little engagement
o Hi (Guest Name)! Did you have a chance to watch the live yet? If not, (Host/New Consultant Name) will tag you and I’ll send you a 3 day “Breakfast Club Sampler” after you’ve watched. (or think of your own creative way to encourage someone to watch)
- If they say, “I just want to browse”…just send them the digital catalog link and engage them with questions. Digital Catalog. NOTE: we recommend that you NOT send the link to your site because that often discourages a conversation.
- If possible, get their information and place their first order for them! This way you know what they want and can encourage them to bump to a 150 qv order to get free shipping and save 20% if they're close.
Client info needed to place order:
Name
Phone number
DOB
Shipping address
Credit card number with EXP & CVV (billing address if different than shipping)
Free Product of Choice (if new PC w/250+ qv order)
Tips for Following Up
SKIN - If they want info on skincare, ask some questions: I’d love to help you. Tell me a little about your skin…what do you currently use and what do you want to improve?
NUTRITION – Again, ask questions: I’d love to help you. I’m curious, what is your biggest challenge with nutrition right now? Or, what are your health goals? Have a dialogue and go to the #arbonne30 tab on our team training website and if they’d like more info, send the verbiage under the #arbonne30 Details tab. You can also send a testimonial from someone with a similar issue.
I’M IN! – This is for the giveaway. In messenger, say “Thank you for participating and good luck! I’m curious, after watching, what resonated the most with you?”
MORE INFO – This is for hosting. In messenger, say “Great! Let’s find a time to chat for a few minutes!”
