Comments: If you're looking for a solid opportunity with a strong track record of success then Melaleuca could be an option . There’s no doubting that the Melaleuca system can work – after all, the products that they are selling is what everyone is looking for. Health and wellness has never been such big business, and Melaleuca has tapped into it at just the right time. Over 20 years in business, Melaleuca now offers over 350 products for the normal consumer to choose from. Although the prices are a little bit more expensive than your normal drugstore equivalent, generally the additional cost is worth it.

Advantages: 15 Year track record of success, strong financially, excellent management, diverse high quality, high value products low purchase requirements .

When it comes to making money as an affiliate of Melaleuca (or Marketing Executive, as they like to call their affiliates), it’s reasonably straightforward. You pay a signing on fee of around $90,as well as setting up your own product account. The reason for that is that to qualify for any payments, you need to earn 35 product points per month (each product has a points-to-dollar value and is calculated accordingly).

To earn 35 points, you actually have to purchase around $80 worth of products. Although you will then be eligible for a discount of around 30-40%, this amount has to be reached EVERY month, whether you need products or not. Melaleuca state that you can easily cover these points if you sign up enough members underneath you, as their points will go towards your target.

Disadvantages: Many will see the fact that it's 15 years old as a disadvantage because it is no longer a ground floor opportunity. Currently to put the figures into real perspective, it would take at least a hundred people underneath you to make any kind of decent money, and that’s only if they’re being productive as well.

There's no doubting that for some people within Melaleuca will do well, and those people will probably be the ones that you see all the testimonials from about how the company will change your financial lifestyle. If you can afford to buy stuff that you don’t need on a monthly basis, and don’t mind pestering friends and colleagues to join up with you, then there is a chance that Melaleuca will work for you as well. If that’s not the case, it’s probably better to look at other options when it comes to making online income.

On a side note, they have fantastic products any you might want to consider being someone customer.

Entities:

Financial Strength: Very strong. Appeared in Inc. 500 list 5 years in a row as among America's fastest growing privately held companies.

Management: Excellent management team with 15 year track record of success with Melaleuca. Having watched Melaleuca's growth since the early 1990's, I've witnessed Melaleuca President and CEO Frank Vandersloot announce product developments and business opportunity enhancements that have transformed Melaleuca into the company that it is today. Mr. Vandersloot implemented the first monthly autoship and backup order system in the industry, creating the highest reorder rate in network marketing.

Online Training & Support: Good online support through the corporate website, which includes detailed product information, online ordering, announcements, and more.

Field Training & Support: Excellent training and support via corporate training events and publications. Outstanding customer and distributor support is also available by telephone with very knowledgable telephone representatives.

Motivational Support: Excellent. Motivational support is available with incentives, awards, contests, recognition, and inspiration via corporate sponsored events, publications, and online.

Products/Services: Nutrition, Skincare, Haircare, Homecare, Petcare, Telecommunications, Internet Service, and more. Melaleuca is one of the most diversified companies in the industry. I've used many of Melaleuca's products, and these products are, in one word, "addicting". I fell in love with the feel and aroma of many of their personal care and homecare products, and it is what I believe keeps customers coming back for more month after month. People literally fall in love with these products. Among the best in the industry.

Compensation Plan: 7 Level, open-ended matrix is very powerful. Many networkers may see the comp plan as inferior to some of the others out there, like the 3 level compressed payplans, but I believe that is very fair and combined with a very diversified, high quality product line with great value, low monthly purchase requirements, and high reorder rate, Melaleuca's business opportunity is among the most lucrative in the industry.
