If you are reading this article you were probably recently invited to a Melaleuca home, hotel meeting, or online presentation, and you are looking for an honest review about the business as a whole. You may not only be wondering about if this business is legitimate, but also about your opportunity for success, the honesty of the corporation, or even the quality of the almost 400 products they provide. Read on and I will go over all of these.
The Company
Melaleuca Inc. has been a silent warrior in the network marketing industry for over twenty years. Since arising in the mid-80s in Idaho Falls, the company has gone through many changes, struggles, and obviously success. The CEO, Frank Vandersloot, has definitely been the stalwart behind Melaleuca since the very beginning. There were times throughout the company’s existence when he had the chance to go public and definitely make a lot more money, but he has honorably stood behind his distributors and has kept a good name linked with Melaleuca.
The Products
Their cleaning, laundry, and make-up products have the most harmful chemicals removed from them, but so what? If you look on the back of the Melaleuca body wash, please tell me how many different long-winded chemical names you will find. I appreciate the removal of bleach, phosphates, sodium laurel sulfate and formaldehyde from their products, but if you go to any quality grocery store you will find the same if not less-harmful products all over the shelves. They tell their distributors these buzzword chemicals are taken out, but there are still a lot of iffy things added to many of the products.
If you ask me, I definitely would not want to tell others to buy products which I do not know exactly what they are composed of! They also sell ‘health bars’ which are composed of processed grains and some with ‘dutch cocoa’. Many interesting marketing practices.
Their mineral supplements which are composed of oligofructose complex are their holy grail. Every distributor wants their customers on these supplements because this allows them to hit their monthly quota for the month. The complex did have a paper in a scientific journal, but there is not much else on the internet in support of the compound. I really wish Melaleuca supported their products with more scientific information, and until they do I will always be skeptical of there practices.
Aside from these rants, the products are better than standard grocery products, and I do love their bath bars and hand soap!
Opportunity for success
Obviously if you are thinking about Melaleuca, you are loving the fact that there is an opportunity to make a lot of money. There are definitely many Melaleluca distributors who are making over six-figures, so obviously there is great opportunity with the business. They are on a uni-level compensation plan, which means that you are solely in charge of building your organization (which differs from most standard multi-level marketing companies). This is why Melaleuca is able to offer very nice bonuses to their distributors.
The thing you must realize is that Melaleuca is different from many other new-age network marketing companies in that you must spoon-feed your prospective distributors through the presentation and enrollment. They must then learn the presentation, or you have to give presentations to your new enrollments prospects. This can become very time-consuming, and some people may not feel comfortable with giving in-home presentations and inviting people to hotel presentations. The compensation plan is also structured to where you will need over a thousand customers in your organization to be making a six-figure income.
Is there opportunity with Melaleuca? Of course if you are driven. You have potential to succeed in anything if you are driven.
But, if you are looking to make a nice income by working from home and not spending countless hours cold-calling and scheduling meetings at the local coffee house, I would seriously recommend learning about the wonders of internet marketing. There are more than 2 billion people on the net right now. . . . do you think that spells potential for success if you learn how to access these people? It is simple and fun if you are driven, and you will definitely be pleased by the results.
