Cutting through the garbage

Well. Let me first start my saying this blog is actually about Melaleuca! If you don't want to read what I have to say then STOP right now and leave this blog!........

Why hello there! Thanks for sticking around and reading this!  I want to start by saying that I am an extreme person! I'm either all or nothing!  Pretty sure I've always been that way but as I get older I see it even more.  About 4 months ago I became a member of Melaleuca.  I was actually pressured into it by my parents and was kinda mad about it to be honest.  They had seen some really amazing results after taking the vitamins and felt like it would make us all lead healthier more vibrant lives.  With Melaleuca there are no contracts and you can cancel anytime... plus get a refund which was EXACTLY what I had planned on doing!
Josh and I thought we would try it for ONE month and then get out and with the satisfaction guaranteed we knew we could get our money back on anything that we didn't like!
So our first shipment came in.  We had gotten then kids body wash and kids shampoo along with some other things.  London has had little bumps all over her skin since birth and nothing ever worked on removing them so we just thought thats the way her skin was. Within TWO days my kids bumps were gone! I was almost to prideful to make the phone call to my dad to tell him this amazing story! lol!  All the products we ordered that month blew us away.  The next month we focused on cleaning supplies and I couldn't believe how well the worked and how long they can last!  Melaleuca is the #1 company in the world for concentrating!  I loved that they were safe for my home and that my kid could drink a bottle of it and it wouldn't hurt her!  I also loved that everything came super concentrated so I spent less money and it's better for the environment (which if I'm being honest isn't my biggest concern :/).  I came home one day and london got spaghetti sauce ALL over her brand new tank top (lime green and white tank).  I thought for sure it was ruined because I am THE worst stain remover ever!! I sprayed sol-u-mel on it which is a stain remover and it literally FELL OFF the tank!  I could NOT believe it!
Every thing we have bought has been like this!
The thing is Melaleuca is not asking you to spend new money.  They are saying shop at Melaleuca instead of Walmart or Kroger or if your in the south The Piggly Wiggly!  Since I have joined I have researched this company! They truly care about peoples lives! Encouraging them to not use credit card, to pay off all your debt, to spend less and make more (which is easy to do with Melaleuca).  I'm not trying to get you to join by this blog.  I just want to clear up some myths! This IS NOT a multi-level marketing company! This is a consumer direct marketing company.  Here is what that means:


Direct Selling, Party Plan and MLM vs. Consumer Direct Marketing

Direct Selling, Party Plan and Multi-Level Marketing are probably the
three most common "business opportunities" in motion today. If you are
selling products, doing home parties or stocking inventory, you are
probably in one of these three categories.

Maybe you know what category you are in and maybe you enjoy what you
do. However, do you know the difference between these three categories
and Consumer Direct Marketing?

If one of the following points do not apply to you, consider the ones
that do and why they make sense.


1. Many companies in these first three categories require you to stock
inventory and sell products.

With Consumer Direct Marketing, you do NOT have to stock inventory or
sell products because customers shop directly from the manufacturer
through a catalog and toll-free number, or a secure website online.
The company delivers the products through a local carrier, e.g. UPS,
directly to the customer's door, so you never have to take any orders
or make any deliveries. Have you ever recommended a good book or
restaurant to a friend or family member? What if you could get PAID
for recommending a great store? Since every customer has an ID number
and personal Marketing Executive, you get credit for all of your
Primary and Secondary referrals in an "expanding organization". This
means that you have the potential of getting paid for customers you
may never meet as a result of your Primary referrals.


2. Many companies in these first three categories pay you in a
descending commission structure. For example, you might get paid 7% on
your first level, but then 6% on your 2nd, 5% on your 3rd, 4% on your
4th, 3% on your 5th, 1% on your 6th and maybe half or a quarter of 1%
on your 7th. Where do you think most of your customers are in ANY
matrix? They're on your 5th, 6th and 7th level! This means that you
need a lot of customers for a small check.

With Consumer Direct Marketing, you are paid a consistent percentage
for ALL generations. So, you don't need as many customers to earn
significant income.


3. Many companies in these first three categories do NOT have
reasonable pricing on their products. You may be able to buy
wholesale, but then you have to turn around and sell the products at a
higher, retail price, which can be more expensive than store brands.

With Consumer Direct Marketing, customers have a personal wholesale
account and order directly from the company. Since the company pays
YOU for your word-of-mouth referrals instead of advertising agencies,
the pricing is reasonable and more research and development is
directed to the products.


4. Many companies in these first three categories have a large sign-up
fee or start-up cost. Even if YOU could afford to get started, those
you contact may not.

With Consumer Direct Marketing, everyone is simply a customer and
opens a REFUNDABLE $29 membership, which provides the right to buy at
wholesale prices along with many other membership benefits. That's
cheaper than Costco and you don't even have to buy in bulk. You simply
order what you want and need. Plus, your membership and every product
is 100% REFUNDABLE, so you and those you know can give it a test-drive
without any financial risk.


5. Many companies in these first three categories require you to buy
and sell products that you or your customers sometimes may not need or
want. If your customers stop ordering, you stop getting paid.

With Consumer Direct Marketing, you are purchasing NECESSITY items
that are better performing, safer (non-toxic) and less expensive than
most store brands. People are simply switching stores and using
products that they are already committed to purchasing somewhere
anyway. This means a practically recession-proof business because your
customers will need to re-order these CONSUMABLE necessity items each
and every month. This is true residual income!



With Melaleuca you don't have "Parties" at peoples houses. You don't purchase inventory! You refer customers and then Melaleuca does the rest!  They order straight from Melaleuca! People don't clean with purses, they don't need jewelry but everyone brushes their teeth, washes their clothes, and cleans their houses (hopefully).  SWITCH STORES thats it!  


Here is a question for you? If you watched a GREAT movie or ate a restaurant that you LOVED wouldn't you tell your friends and family to check it out?  Of course you would! Thats what I'm doing! Check it out! It's the bomb.com!  At the end of the day I don't care if you decide you don't like it. It's no risk to you to at least be informed BUT what if it changed your life?  What if you became healthier and your home became safer?  These aren't ridiculous priced items that no one can afford.  They are better performing products then grocery store brands and you will be spending usually the same or sometimes even less with Melaleuca! 


Ok. I rest my case.  I'm sick of people talking about it as a get rich quick scam or all the other things that uninformed people are saying. Be informed before you hate on something you don't even understand or know! For those of you that live your lives being critical of EVERYTHING... well, I feel sorry for you.  How do you ever enjoy anything?  Life is meant to be enjoyed!  


ps. If I've offended you then I'm sorry!  My life has been changes by this company and I'm not afraid to defend it! 
Peace and blessing be with you ;)
