What are the pros and cons of Melaleuca the wellness company?
Posted on September 25th, 2009 by admin
I have been a customer and am trying to do Melaleuca as a home business. Just wanting some feedback from others that have done the business.
Breaking into the business can be really tough as explaining the non-toxic products are not of much concern to the masses. If one , like myself HAS to have just products in their home due to health reasons then that is a different story. If I had it to do all over from the beginning, I would have approached it very differently. I would have merely asked if one was willing to invest approx $75.00 every month into growing a home business? Make the purchases monthly, give away all the products if you so incline( children’s homes or others) claim the $75.00 in products as advertising samples and look for others who wanted to follow me!
Just my 2 cents and by the way…
I have been buying the products for 10 years now and not only have to have them but love the fact that I no longer have to clean my home with vinegar and water try that smell daily for moping, cleaning the bathroom ,etc BIG YUCK!

I have heard about them and personally don’t believe in them. However, there are people who do.

My husband & I were with them as customers & although loved the product, hated the service we received.
As a customer you have to buy into these packages that are sent to you every 2 months & if you don’t go through stuff that fast (we didn’t as the product was really concentrated & there were only 2 of us)–the company will just stick in any old product that they think you may want & usually isn’t the case. They will then send you the box that you have to pay for.
We returned 3 boxes and were owed $286 however it took 10 months & a lawyer’s assistance to get the $$ back. For each letter the co. sent to us, they charges us $15 US!! & They also charged us shipping to ship products that we never ordered the first place back to the company that is located somewhere in the USA.
So in the end we only received $176 Cdn of our owed $286 Cdn.
maybe it works for a home business, but make sure you explain THAT part to your new customers!

I actually have found the company to be quite supportive as a business and with customer service. I became a member a couple to months ago and love the products. If having non-toxic products in your home is important, that is. It’s not a "get rich quick" scheme. It is a job and does require time to make an income. I would say, check it out and make your own informed decision. Check out: http://www.workathomeunited.com/healthathome
and choose "Learn More" and make an informative decision, I think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Or feel free to email me and you can ask specific questions. Either way, good luck with whatever you choose!

I am involved with Melaleuca. I started as a customer and chose several weeks later to pursue as a business. If you are happy with the products, then you can be successful promoting it to others, but if you are not a satisfied customer, and don’t see value in their products, it will be tough to convince others.
I’ve had great customer service, and even when a customer of mine cancelled her membership, Melaleuca did everything she asked–cancelled her membership, and we made sure we took care of our end, so that the customer has no reason for complaint about her time with Melaleuca.
Sometimes it’s tough to get others to see that they can purchase 35 points per month easily. It’s just a different way of shopping, and redirecting your money that you are already spending. Some people aren’t aware of toxins in household products, but there is an awareness about "going green". There have been news programs on the Today Show about using safer products.
As far as the person who mentioned that everything smells bad, I had to get used the Solumel. It smells like tea tree oil. Everything else smells really nice, and I like the Solumel now too. A friend of mine said she was with Melaleuca years ago and thought everything smelled bad, but they’ve changed the formula and now things don’t.
If you have any specific questions, please contact me-my email address is available in my profile. I will help you in any way I can. I hope this helps you a little.

Great question. It’s fantastic to do some research and from there you can make an informed decision.
I have been with Melaleuca for 3 years. In that time my husband and I have both been able to leave full-time employment and now both work from our homes, about 4 days a week, 5 hours a day. My husband had a massive health scare from a long-term stress related situation (custody of his awesome children) and since then, he’s not been able to be employable anyways. This Business has been a blessing in many ways.
The products have alleviated health concerns for my children, which is really priceless. That’s why I knew we could share the products with others; they save families money and they eliminate toxins.
We also dont approach family and friends to get involved. With Melaleuca, there are many options to choose from when it comes to starting and building a solid family-business.
Re The Business itself: You have to work, and honestly, you have to work hard. Putting in 2 solid years can mean a new car for your home, compliments of the Company, and a genuine income. As the honest and genuine know, great money from a Home-Business will only come to those who are prepared to put in the time and energy; not only to help themselves, but to help others too. We do see many fail only due to them thinking of themselves first.
Being able to help families earn small or large incomes with Melaleuca is very possible.
My advice is; if you truly want to make a difference, give Melaleuca a go. The Compensation Plan is not all about "stacking", it’s about creating Leaders (ie helping other people, not just yourself). I like the ethics of the Company.
Good luck with whatever you choose though. I am sure you will find something that suits you.

I have been a customer of Melaleuca since Feb. 2007 and have improved the lives of my family. It is simply switching stores. The allergy and sinus problems we have had, have subsided. No more trips to the doctor for unneccesary prescriptions. That alone is saving me money. I decided to do the business side and no it is not easy, because many are skeptical. But there is no risk at all 100% guarentee. But if you can talk to people about a GREAT movie then if you try Melaleuca and like the outcome then you can tell people about it! That simple. This is NOT an MLM company, by no means! The main point is: with all the information on "going green" if you want to do your part and help the environment and your family, then you can not lose by switching your home to Melaleuca.
