It may be over for Arbonne International and it will be a struggle for those who have built a business with the company. Trading debt for equity? Words are just words when a blow like this hits. This company has been around for 30 years and even they are struggling. People are now choosing between wants and needs. Needs outweigh wants even more so now when you boil it down to auto-ship.

I know the blow may really hurt and there is a lot of shock out there and what do I do now questions floating in representatives heads.

Above all else: Know that you will be OK!

What to do to be proactive when a company like Arbonne or any other may change the way they operate or close down

1. Get your list of your customers and have it ready – YOU- Yes YOU should own your list.
2. Call your customers and let them know what happened.
3. Offer to sell them what stock you have to tide them over while you do your research for an alternate product that will replace what they already have. If you don’t have what they need call your up-line or other recruits to see if they have it and are willing to sell to you so that you can service your customers.
4. Tell your customers you will call them back once you have an alternate product or that you will stay in touch with them
5. Start your research about what is even better product that you will stand behind and feel confident about
6. Call your customers back and offer them the new alternate product.

These are the things that you MUST do for yourself

1. From now on market  YOU INC Network-  market yourself and not your company
2. Keep your list to yourself and protect your customers -like the way your company should have protected you
3. Research and always pick a company that has been around for more than 5 years (most of the kinks have been worked out by then)
4. Confirm that the new company has no debt- your up-line should be able to produce this before you sign up with any new company- if they don’t, walk away
5. Find yourself and interview your new mentor  confirm that they are strong  and provides good leadership skills, someone who knows the way now all you have to do is follow and then show others

ps. Fishing reference in my title relates to filing a chapter 12 in the US Bankruptcy Code. It is similar to Chapter 13 in structure, however it offers additional benefits to farmers and fishermen, in certain circumstances, beyond those available to ordinary U.S. wage earners. Chapter 12 is available only to family farmers and fishermen.
