wealth10k: the system they used for marketing was very cumbersome and not very duplicable.
Yes it is, but you can use your own system, which is what I do. I use 4 or 5 strategies of my own to bring people to my website and it works pretty good. They fill out the form to get more information, and that is half the battle, because you have something that they might want. Then I use the cold calling strategies.
Works for me

Melaleuca has some great products. When it comes to making money, however, that's a different story.
You might want to take a look at the compensation plan very carefully.
In my opinion you might want to continue to stay a customer.
Also, their policies and procedures are hidden for a reason.
Why would anyone join a company if they are not allowed to read the contract first?
Makes you wonder...

You don't have to pay any monthly product fees. You can be a direct customer and then you can buy as little or as much as you want.
Thanks,
George

If this is a network marketing company that has been around for a while then I think that it is very legit. I never heard of them before but I do know that there are many great companies out there who do MLM and that I never heard of them before.
Looks OK to me.

talfighel: If this is a network marketing company that has been around for a while then I think that it is very legit.
The fact that it's 'been aroung for a while' means nothing.
It certainly doesn't mean it is 'very legit'!
Most MLM's are scams.
And the products, even if high quality, are overpriced - to pay out the MLM downline members/distributors/'build a business' people.
Unless someone wants to explain otherwise, and answer my question as previously posted - where does the money for these referral payments come from?
And, does the customer pay the same price as the distributor/'build a business' person, for the same amount of the same product(s)?

You're right, they are a very legitimate company, and also a very ethical company.
You can go to Melaleucaawards.com and see the recognition that they have achieved over the past 25 years.
The Torch Award, awarded to them by the Better Business Bureau in 2008 is the highest honor that a company can be receive from the Better Business Bureau.
 It has been awarded to Melaleuca for their ethics and integrity in dealing with customers, employees, and community.
Thanks

Well the BBB means nothing as they are a private enterprise the companies pay to be members of. Research the BBB and scam to see how the BBB is not all that (www.bbbroundup.com), however...
when avcompany has been around SUCCESSFULLY for 25 years doing what it does with great products and/or services, and has a great reputation (not that no one has never been disappointed) then that speaks volumes. It speaks for itself...the company has beyond proved itself and worth.
Anyone that would try and trash talk Melaluca, especially if they have never been a part of the company used the products, etc. it just really just shows that there will always be people against anything, if only for their own entertainment.
MLM is about OPPORTUNITY, not guarantees. Very often mlm product based companies are about profiting from what you already are doing. People talk about recruiting people and running out of people. I'm still waiting on the first mlm to have maxed out and ran out of people.
It just doesn't happen, and won't happen. There are possibilities and probabilities. It's mathematically possible to run out of people for an mlm, but its not probable and has never been done.
So big ups to Melaluca and all others that have stood the test of time with their products. People still talk down Amway. But Amway owns the Orlando Magic Basketball Arena and team, their success speaks for itself. Amway is only still in business because clearly tens of thousands love their products, likewise with Melaluca.
In the meantime know that their are alternatives or additions to add to your income streams that don't require you to be a distributor.
Keep rocking Melaluca distributors

Not according to FreeCashMan it hasn't!
Once more.
A simple question.
WHERE does the money come from?
WHERE does the money for referral payouts/bonuses come from?
And, does the customer pay the same price as the distributor/'build a business' person, for the same amount of the same product(s)?

Now that I've tried melaleuca as well as amway, My opinion is Amway has it all over melaleuca. products in both companies are good, but Amway takes the cake over melaleuca on the simplicity of compensation plan. Mind you I'm not with any of them any more. lol

I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
TJamMoneyMan: WHERE does the money come from?
The money is built into the price of the product.
TJamMoneyMan: And, does the customer pay the same price as the distributor/'build a business' person, for the same amount of the same product(s)?
The distributor is Melaleuca. It is called "consumer direct marketing" You have already been told that in 2 previous posts.
There are 2 customer options, it all depends on what kind of customer a person would like to be.

melanow, you are wasting your post with this guy. He clearly twisted my info in an attempt to bait me into a discourse on the matter.
Here's a guy promoting cash gifting that all authorities have determined illegal, and has the audacity to try and put down the 25 year success of Melaleuca.
Everyone's post is not worth responding too, and often are designed to aid people state of boredom.
Personally, I just got started with getting ready to use the companies products. Nothing but positive commentary about the products.

wealth10k: My opinion is Amway has it all over melaleuca. products in both companies are good
Five of Amway products were on the Mayo Clinic's list of known carcinogens a short time ago.
They contained formaldehyde, which scientists have found to be linked to leukemia
None of Melaleuca products are on the list.
As a matter of fact the Mayo Clinic uses some of Melaleuca products.
If known carcinogens are what someone prefers to use, "then have at it" LOL

Thanks for the update
You will really like the products, They have done a lot for my daughter, You may already have read that.
We have been using the products for over 4 years now.
Ya I read a lot of his past posts, not really anything of any value there.
It seems as though he has some serious issues going on that he should get help with. I like to try and help people, but I am really not qualified to help someone like him, I am not a psychologist.

Amway products are good, according to this 5 of their products are still on the list of known carcinogens.
metromom.com/Product%20Info/EcoSense/Toxic%20Products.doc
Are amway products still good LOL?
I don't find the compensation plan complicated at all.
I find it easy, plus I don't have to stock products, sell products, deliver products, order someone else's products, deal with returns, or take payments,
This makes the whole opportunity easy.

This is a really interesting thread I happened to stumble upon. I am really confused over the TJMoneyman comments. These posts go back for several pages and it's the same stuff, why would any of you who are Melaleuca Customers, either those who refer or those who do not, keep fueling his fire? He doesn't think lemon juice is a chemical, ask a chemist, I did!! And who cares what he thinks? He's one person.
What I know is this, I have worked with the company for 2 years. I am an MBA and a CPA and I am leaving my career because I make more money in Melaleuca and I LOVE helping people. I have been with my current company for 5 years, they are not giving me a car, they are not giving me monthly bonuses based on my performance nor are they helping me reach financial or wellness goals. The money comes from cutting out the middle people, the distributors, they warehousing agents, the brokers, the intermediaries. I work in manufacturing trust me we have a lot of people who take a chunk of the pie before we get ours, Melaleuca cut out all the middle men, it's them to you...poof!
Since I have started taking the vitamins my cholesterol has gone down, my blood pressure has gone down, my bone density is up (I am lactose intolerant, it comes from the calcium supplement) I am not on any meds anymore. I know a lot of people who are sick and they prefer to stay sick by the choices they make, we do not get enough nutrition from our foods any more, even if we eat organic. Watch the movie FOOD INC, it's a documentary regarding the food industry, do some research, our world is not what it once was.
To those of you who are melaleuca customers, Kudos!! To those of you thinking about it, go for it, you have nothing to lose, if you don't love it, they refund it. To those of you who are skeptics, we need you too, you keep our scientists working on new products and we thank you!

Great post !
redheadwagoal: why would any of you who are Melaleuca Customers, either those who refer or those who do not, keep fueling his fire?
I am not trying to fuel his fire, I am trying to educate him. To be educated one has to have an "open mind". And I think that could be the problem.
We have been using the products with great success for over 4 years. "My Story" is an account of how we got started.
I tried to inform Vishal about the need for vitamins in the thread:
"Do you really need supplements?"
I'm sure you will find that thread interesting also.
Have a great day.

Omg, omg,omg....I have to reply to this comment ASAP. I just took Melaluca's webinar to see what is it all about and I sent my sister (who is in PR) a msn message to ask her if she knew about these "eco friendly" products. She instantly told me the she use to be a member and that her husband is crazy about the products..there was a downfall dough; at the time she wanted to cancel her membership they gave her hell. Anyways, me considering joining them as a Home Based Bussines, the only real concern is the money you have to invest every month to be part of their team....can you say anything about this??

You my man, are a convicted criminal!
You won't even admit to what your name is - Ajamu Kafele,
Because of all the negative information out there on you.
You have been found guilty of practicing law without a license.
And you are giving a legal opinion?!?
Here you are saying what 'authorities have determined'.
But you can't name one authority, law or court case that says cash gifiting (not PYRAMIDS) are illegal.
None of which has anything to do with Melaleuca of course.
Now you come here and talk about having 'audacity'?
Oh come on!!
All you folx are commenting on PRODUCTS.
But this is the section of the forum that is supposed to focus on BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.
It is the BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY of Melaleuca that is the scam.
So here you folx are, distracting from the scam that is the business 'opportunity' of the MLM Melaleuca.
Trying to sell the products here, to keep the MLM payouts flowing.

Cash gifting is definitely a scam. Melaleuca is not a scam and has pretty good products. Like all MLM's a lot of people do not make any money with the business. However a lot of people just buy the products and have no interest in working the business.
