Melaleuca

Melaleuca is a health and wellness company that boasts over 300 hundred products ranging from nutritional, cleaning supplies, to bath and body care products. The company that takes its name from Melaleuca Alternifolia is headquartered in Idaho Falls, Idaho and was founded in 1985.

Melaleuca has dedicated itself to bettering peoples lives through additional income and healthy all natural products that are an alternative to everyday grocery and drug store products. I like the fact that the company has been operating since 1985. This is a sure sign of a legitimate and stable business opportunity.

Melaleuca operate on a global scale and has offices in Australia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Japan. This is proof that their products have appeal and are in demand. Melaleuca says that they are not a net work marketing company; instead they offer a direct marketing approach. They utilize a catalog to market their products and they usually are introduced to you by one of the marketing executives, or distributors.

I know that they claim not to be a MLM but you have to be referred into the company by someone that is already active. That is a MLM indicator to me so I am listing them as an MLM. It is funny to me how a lot of companies shy away from the MLM label. I guess it does bring in some negative connotations even though there are several legitimate and lucrative MLM's that provide real opportunities.

The earning potential with this company is similar to other health and wellness companies and is directly correlated to how much effort you as the salesman put into it. A real go getter with Melaleuca can earn a six-figure salary and work from the comforts of their own home. Most of your income is generated by direct sales of the company's nearly 300 products. The key to making this opportunity work is referring people to the company's sales catalog. There are no inventory's to be maintained and no big upfront investments. The starting costs are virtually nothing which is unusual for this type of business.

As I have said time and time again about this type of biz op if you are the type of person that likes to make sales calls then this could be a good fit. However, if you are shy and do not like to knock on doors and make phone calls then you better keep looking. I mean your friends and families can only earn you so much money at some point you are going to have to get more customers. That means calling on strangers and some people are just uncomfortable with that.

The support and marketing materials I have seen look solid and I have not been able to find any truly negative information on Melaleuca. At least not something that would keep me from recommending the company as a business opportunity.

I would not hesitate to give this company a try if you feel like it is a fit!

Melaleuca gets a 7 out of a possible 10.
