Is Melaleuca a Good Business?

Well, this depends entirely on your definition of a "good business". If you are interested in knowing if Melaleuca as a corporation is a sound business then yes, absolutely! Melaleuca is one of the most successful network marketing companies and among the top providers of eco-friendly, effective, natural and safe products for the home. They are on the cutting edge of the "green wave" and make conscious-living affordable for everyone.

However, if by "good business" you mean a good business opportunity for you and your family, this depends entirely on your skills as a marketer and entrepreneur. Though your upline will tell you that it is easy to make a six figure income by following the simple strategies they give you, I advise you to be cautious. Over 90% of Melaleuca reps fail within their first year of starting their home-based business and there is a reason why. If you are serious about succeeding with Melaleuca and creating a substantial income, avoid these top three reasons why so many others have failed:

#1 Marketing To Your Friends & Family:

• Many network marketers are taught to leverage their "warm market" for their business. This usually comes down to friends and family members. This is a huge waste of time and you are guaranteed to loose money in the long run. Why? First of all, most will be skeptical and refuse your offers as it will appear that you are trying to leverage a personal relationship for financial gain. Secondly, before you came along and told them about your products, they were not already interested. Spending time convincing someone of their need for your product is counterproductive. Besides, why waste your time on your "warm market" when there are millions of motivated prospects out there that would love to do business with you?

#2 Buying "Business Opportunity" Leads:

• These "biz-op" leads are a sure-fire way to waste time and money because:
  • They cost too much! Generally each lead will cost you between $5 & $30! Realistically, you should never spend more than $0.15 -$0.20 per lead.
  • They are not targeted enough. What usually happens is you will pay somewhere from $10-$20 for a lead that is interested in starting a home-based business but has absolutely no interest in your products. When this happens with 75% of your business opportunity leads that you just purchased, you have just wasted a very large amount of money.

#3 Throw Home Parties & Home Meetings:

• By now you may have tried to throw a home party and chances are, you spent a lot of time and money only to have only a few people show up. Furthermore, they probably only bought one product because they felt obligated. These days, there are so many home parties for every other business that everyone is getting tired of being obligated to attend and spend money to help out their friends. Besides, people are just plain busy and are not interested in spending their evenings and/or weekends supporting you and being enticed to purchase products they were not already interested in to begin with. This method of selling was a brilliant and effective idea back in the 60's & 70's. But in this day and age it is a sorry plan for consistently recruiting new clients and business builders into your business.

Melaleuca is a sound business with great products. But if you are interested in making money instead of throwing it away, please do not make these common mistakes as millions of others just like you have.

In this industry, things are not always as they seem. Really, there are only "insiders" and "outsiders", people who know the deal and people who don't have a clue.
