I hate to rain on your melaleuca parade, but I have to confess I have been roped in on this one in the past. It is just like Quixtar, Amway, etc. No, you don't have to do the "business" part, but I found the products overpriced, and yes they are all natural... they are made of tea tree oil... and you can find similar products in stores for less and of what I consider better quality. Also, their toothpaste was horrible.... it tasted like Pine Sol for your mouth.
As far as the "business" aspect, a good friend of mine was in it to make a few extra bucks and signed up a LOT of people... and she literally made a few extra bucks a month, as in an average of 3 dollars.. yes, I said 3!!!!
Anyone is free to do what they choose, but if you want my 2 cents, if you need extra money, type a few more lines. If you want quality natural products, you can find them almost everywhere nowadays.
As a last note.... it bothers me that someone would try to use this board to get people to join in on a "pyramid scheme." Jenn... you probably aren't going to like that what I posted because you are obviously "sold" on Melaleuca.... but you should look for clients in places other than this board.

Melaleuca
I need to figure out a tactful way to get her to back off. She told me she was on the Moms team and she was teaming up with other moms and she told me how she was in this stuff that was totally environmentally safe blah blah blah and said Okay I will buy a bottle of it. Evidently that was not enough she told me I had to attend this conference call I said okay. Well, in the meantime, I told my mom about it and she said she had gotten into it. She attended this conference call and they signed her up before she knew it and kept sending her stuff and billing her and she did not know how to get out of it. The stuff is big $$$$. So I told cousin no. Cousin got upset saying that what does my mother know, she doesn't clean. I just told her I didn't have the money right now to get into something like that. She got upset and went on on how wonderful it is. Then she called me again last night appologizing for getting up set and she was still my cousin/friend and I said okay I figured she would get over it and I told her about my OB/GYN appointment and that the scales weighed too heavy and she asked how much I weighted, I told her too much, she wanted an exact number, I don't know why, I said too much and leave it at that. (Of course anyone can look at me and tell it is too much). I told her I was interested in Jenny Craig. Then she went on and on again about this bus and how I needed to get started and she noticed a big stain in my carpet and she was going to get it out. I tried to change the subject and she kept going on about that bus. of hers. I need her to back off. I know she needs money but I don't want to drain my pocket book to help her out but this doesn't sound like anything I want to mess with. I have 2 jobs, 2 kids and I don't have time to sell anything but according to my cousin you don't sell anything.
I have been approached with great bus opportunities before. I personally don't know anyone that has made a substantial living from an MLM.

Thanks, everyone, for your input. This guy is definitely pushy, bordering on aggressive, and he's going to get fired from our workplace if he doesn't let up on people. (We both work in customer service at night for an insurance mogul.) He's supposed to be doing his job, not recruiting people for Melaleuca. I used to like him. He was really a fun, sweet guy. But in the last few weeks since he's been selling this stuff, he almost seems like he's in a cult. He has a strange look on his face, as though he's addicted to it. And I'm growing tired of his pushiness. Ugh!
would you like to find out more about melaleuca
Just go to their website at www.melaleuca.com to find out about it. They are really great products and you can make a lot of money. Just let me know if you are interested
Melaleuca sales
Someone I recently met is selling Melaleuca products and supposedly making a good profit. He wants me to start selling these products, too....first of all, I think it's a pyramid scheme, like Amway....and I don't know anyone who has had a GOOD experience with Amway. He says it isn't, though. He says I'll work for myself. Hmm. Do any of you guys know about this company? I'm getting bad feeling about it. However, I'm broke and could use the extra $$$.
