If you have been around the multi-level marketing industry for long, there is no doubt that you have come across Melaleuca in your search for a home based business. Who is this company? What is it exactly that they offer their customers and affiliates? Can you really make money with Melaleuca as a home based business? I intend to answer these important questions in my Melaleuca review.With their roots going back to 1985, Melaleuca is a health and wellness company that operates under the leadership of CEO Frank VanderSloot. Melaleuca offers a wide selection of products ranging from nutritional supplements, weight loss solutions, and home cleaning products to name a few. The more than 350 products that Melaleuca offers are claimed to be more effective, safer, and better for the environment.You will never find Melaleuca products on the shelves of your local grocery store, as all the products that they offer are sold exclusively through their large network of Marketing Executives (distributors). This represents the business opportunity that they are well-known for.As a Melaleuca Marketing Executive, your mission will be to find as many customers as possible through the efforts of encouraging prospects to try everyday products that they already buy elsewhere, saving them money in the process. You will then try to encourage many of your customers to not only be consumers, but to become Marketing Executives in your business. You will earn commissions on every product that your customers order, and will profit from the sales of those in your downline as well.When you visit the Melaleuca website to learn more about the particular details of their compensation plan, and the investment that will be required of you to join them; Melaleuca will ask you to get back to the person who referred you to learn more. If you happened to come across their site in an online search, or you do not know the name of the Marketing Executive who approached you, there is a 1-800 number that you can call under their ‘Request More Information’ tab.In my opinion, Melaleuca is a very legitimate company that offers everyday products that are both well praised by their satisfied customers, and eco-friendly. If you choose to make Melaleuca your home based business, it will be important to take into consideration the challenges of encouraging your customers to consistently order products through your business on a monthly basis, instead of heading to their local grocery store, where these competitive products can often times be offered at lower prices.The methods of prospecting amongst your friends and relatives, and participating in home meetings and hotel presentations will still apply in this business, as with many other multi-level marketing business opportunities. If you have a strong desire to build a business of this nature, then Melaleuca is a very solid company that has changed the lives of thousands.As always, I wish you the best of luck in your search for a home based business that is best suited for you and your family.
