I want to know if anyone has had experience with Melaleuca Business Opportunity?

Question

I have found a work from home business opportunity with melaleuca. Before I pay my membership, I want to know if this business is worth it. Has anyone had personal experience or heard about it.

Answer 1

My husband and I were with them for 4.5 years.  We worked 7 days a week and were available to our "team" basically 24 hours a day.  You HAD to do this to earn any decent money and be successful (which we were).  However, we learned that you CANNOT retire from your Business or take a decent break, and company policy and procedure is far too restrictive.  In the end we had to sell our house and our car, and start life afresh.  With 4 children and being in our 40's, thats a huge blow.  Also, those types of products are so readily available in the mainstream now that shopping at Target and Walmart is a much safer option for any family.  Do we recommend others join Melaleuca - no way on this planet!  It's not worth the risk of the BIG BROTHER tactics of the Company.

Answer 2

My mom was all into it (still is) I believe it could really work if you put the effort on it.  What I don't like is that they demand to have access to your bank account and that you have to purchase every month if you don't they will sent you your last order and charge your account...to me this was a deal breaker, I mean what if I don't need anything for that month...and the account info i don't think it should be release to them...but some of the products are really good....If you can get people to help you out it might work...good luck...

I've been with Melaleuca for almost 2 years.  I just wanted to use the cleaning products, but tried other things, and buy those too.  The first thing you will need to know is if you like their products.  If you don't, you will not be able to promote it.  

I find that I need things each month from Melaleuca.  Just like I have to go to the store frequently, Melaleuca offers over 350 products so there are things I NEED each month.  What I like is that I don't buy things that just sit around--I actually use what I buy.

If you don't place an order, you would get a back up order.  Someone else said you could get a certificate and order something later.  They do not do that; I think they did years ago, but now, you would get a back up order.  Some customers get them each month, and like the "surprise" factor.  I would not.  I like to pick what I need.  You can also customize your own back up order so you would get what you choose.  But, it's better just to order what you need when you need it.

Yes, the business end of it is worth it, if you want to work the business.  I was not going to look into the business side of it, but when I was impressed with the products, and the team leader I have, I decided to give it a try.  And, I've been satisfied with my success.  I did start with buying leads, but have started doing things that don't cost $$ or are very inexpensive.  You don't have to spend alot of money to be successful in this business.  Be sure you are on a good team--one that will give you all the support and tools you will need.

But, you would want to be a happy, satisfied customer first.

If you have any o ther questions, please feel free to contact me.

Answer 4

I have been with Melaleuca since last year.  As with any other opportunity out there, you cannot just sit back and expect to get rich.  It is s business, and it takes hard work and lots of effort to be successful...just as with any other business out there.  If you have the time to dedicate to it, I would definitely say go for it!  I left them for another company for a few months because I thought I had found something better...but ended up coming back.  This is it for me.  Best of luck to you!!!

Answer 5

Hi Margaret,

Melaleuca has great products (I love the cleaning and laundry items that I'd purchased from them) as well as excellent support (on-line and on the phone). Also, there were a couple of times I didn't receive my orders. Melaleuca shipped a replacement order the next day w/o charging the amount on my card.

Also, if you don't place your monthly order, you always can have Melaleuca give you a certificate for that month. In turn, these certificates can be used to purchase items that you want shipped to you, ie. saving the 35 monthly pts certificates to purchase items for Christmas for gifts.

What you really need to is search for is a good team to really help you out. I was with the MOM win team, which I was unhappy with the techniques and no support whatsoever. I could not get into the calls because of the time difference, (I live in Guam, an US Territory).

If you have any other questions, you can email me at:

Take care!
