Hi K.,
Melaleuca is the best way to go if you want to have the best products in your home for your family and for the environment. When people say they can't afford the 35 point commitment it's because they aren't converting their homes. When you convert your home (you're gonna buy the products somewhere anyway) you save loads of money and you are getting quality products. I've been a customer for a year and my home is converted. I shop for a family of 5 and we spend no less than 100pts a month. If Melaleuca sells it and we use it, we buy it. It's all about switching stores, not spending extra money. If you have a good enroller then they should help you switch stores and get the most for your points. Everything with Melaleuca is guaranteed, including the $29 membership. You can try their products and the membership and if you aren't happy you can get a refund! You aren't stuck in the membership. You can cancel anytime.
I'm also a marketing executive. We don't recruit anyone and we don't sell anything. All we do is share Melaleuca with people and help them to save money while getting the best products in their homes. I work with a team that helps other moms earn a great income from home. We don't do parties or demonstrations or carry inventory. All we do is share Melaleuca and open up customer accounts, using the internet or the phone. I resigned from working in our local school district and quickly able to replace my income while prioritizing my family. This has been the best decision I have every made.
I encourage you to just try Melaleuca. If you don't like the products, or the business, get your money back! You won't be disappointed!
