ENHANCING THE LIVES OF THOSE WE TOUCH ®

FRANK VANDERSLOOT

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Jerry Felton Promoted to Melaleuca CEO

Melaleuca’s growth continues to astound me. Over the last 36 years, we have grown from a small operation of just seven employees and eight products to having over 450 products and over 4,000 employees. We have over 1.5 million customers and tens of thousands of families that depend on us for supplemental income. The sun truly never sets on Melaleuca’s operations! It has been my privilege to be at the helm of this great organization since its beginning. I have always considered that a great honor. My role has changed over the years as the company has grown. In the beginning, it was just me, six ladies in the office, and a guy in shipping. Over the years we have added 2 company presidents, 56 vice presidents, and 148 directors to lead and guide our operations in 19 different countries. We have dozens of extremely bright executives with extraordinary capabilities who lead this company. As we have grown, I have consistently delegated more responsibilities and authorities to these great men and women.

One our most talented executives is Jerry Felton. Thirteen years ago, we stole Jerry from UPS where he was their Vice President of Global Sales. For his first three years, Jerry was our Senior Vice President of Sales over the US (that’s the position that Darrin Johnson holds today). Under These are exciting times! We have a very bright future under Jerry’s leadership, and I invite you to join me in congratulating him on this new and very important assignment!” Jerry’s leadership in that position, Melaleuca grew at a very rapid rate. After experiencing the impact of his leadership skills, in August of 2012 I promoted Jerry to Senior Vice President of International Operations, and in 2017 he

2 JUNE 2022 | MELALEUCA.COM

was promoted to President of Melaleuca International. During the last ten years, under Jerry Felton’s leadership Melaleuca’s international operations have tripled in size! Jerry’s credentials speak for themselves. He is an exceptionally talented leader and inspires his teams to implement Melaleuca’s principles throughout Melaleuca’s global operations. Jerry is an excellent example of passion, leadership, and innovative thinking. Most importantly, Jerry embodies our mission of enhancing lives. At Convention 2022, I announced that Jerry has been promoted to CEO of Melaleuca. The entire room erupted in applause at that announcement. And for good reason! Those who know Jerry, are keenly aware of the extreme talent that he will bring to this position. With Jerry, our future is in very good hands! Jerry’s energy and his ability to lead with integrity and passion is well known.

Executive Chairman. My new position will allow me to focus on crucial corporate issues, such as long-term corporate strategy, corporate messaging, marketing, national and international economic issues, new product development, etc. It will also allow me to get into the field to meet with Marketing Executives and leaders more often. I have missed being able to do that! These are exciting times! I am excited to work with Jerry in his new role, and I am very excited about our future as we enter this new era. We have a very bright future under Jerry’s leadership, and I invite you to join me in congratulating him on this new and very important assignment!

Sincerely,

As Jerry takes on the role of CEO, I want to make clear that I am not retiring. Jerry will report to me in my new position of

The Secret to Our 96% Reorder Rate: Exceptional Products!

At Convention 2022, thousands of Melaleuca Members and Marketing Executives gathered to make new connections, hear product announcements, and receive valuable business and product

coaching. In his presentation, Hank Toone helped attendees understand the value behind Melaleuca products and how they power businesses just like yours.

VP of Global Marketing & Strategic Initiatives

16 JUNE 2022 | MELALEUCA.COM

Think about this! Almost everyone who tries a Melaleuca product for the first time is completely unfamiliar with it. They’ve never heard of it before. With the exception of a warm recommendation of a friend or acquaintance, the product they’re trying is fundamentally unknown. They haven’t been exposed to any advertising. Any media coverage. Any influencer giving it a review on social media. No celebrity has endorsed it. Heck, they’ve never even seen it on a store shelf before. And yet, Melaleuca products enjoy some of the highest customer satisfaction of any consumer packaged goods. In

fact, the consistently chart-topping popularity and performance of Melaleuca products is what keeps 96% of our shoppers coming back to our store month after month after month! The vast majority of new Melaleuca Members are left asking, “How could one company have developed so many important, life-changing products? If they’re so good, why have I never heard of them before?” Well, the answer isn’t a paradox or a coincidence. Melaleuca is a different KIND of company. And from the beginning, Melaleuca Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot had the vision to offer our products directly from

our manufacturing facilities to our shoppers. As for marketing, we rely solely on the power of word of mouth. But if you’re going to do that—if you’re going to rely on real people giving real recommendations to real friends they have relationships with—your products can’t just be good. They can’t even be great. They have to be EXCEPTIONAL! They have to be demonstrably different. Proven better. Backed by science. And they have to deliver jaw- dropping benefits that can’t be found anywhere else. Well, let me tell you—after 36 years of relentless innovation, Melaleuca has got the goods! Unlike any other company, our product lines feature jaw-dropping products, each with their own amazing backstory. And while there are literally dozens and dozens of these, let’s take a moment to focus on just a few of them.

biggest takeaway because they come back energized and ready to work!” Convention 2022 has only cemented the lessons Sabrina teaches her team. “The way our team works is very face-to-face,” Sabrina explains. “We often host celebration dinners at our home. We help each other out all the time. And we celebrate each other’s successes. So Convention really felt like an extension of that.” The new product launch at Convention was another highlight. “I’m super excited about the updates made to the Peak Performance Pack ,” Sabrina says. “It’s going to offer our customers a better value—they don’t have to purchase the extra supplements separately, and the prices still remain the same! It benefits both their health and their pocketbook, so I think that’s amazing!” All of the excitement from Convention reminded Sabrina of the wisdom Executive Director 9 Stacy Bodnar once shared: “She told me that this is a business of a lifetime,” Sabrina recalls. “If you can let that set in, not just treat it like a business but realize that it actually is a business, then it is something that can be a part of you instead of just something you do. Don’t think about what you can accomplish in the next 60–90 days. Have long-term vision and think about what you can accomplish in 15–20 years. Anchor here, because this is a great place to call home.”

If there is one thing National Director 2 Sabrina Ellis was most impressed with at Convention 2022, it was the flood of feedback she received from her team. “I had planned to rest after Convention,” says Sabrina, “Instead, I have a Melaleuca Overview this afternoon, Strategy Sessions scheduled for today and tomorrow, and an in-home presentation tonight. The energy couldn't be higher.” A new builder on Sabrina’s team shared an observation that truly sets Melaleuca apart as a company. “At other conventions I’ve attended, the management team doesn’t really interact with the newcomers,” Sabrina relays. “At Melaleuca, the management doesn’t treat a Corporate Director any differently than they treat a Director 2. The way Melaleuca’s top management took the time to speak to the little guys just blew them away!” Another one of Sabrina’s team members couldn’t stop raving about how positive and friendly Melaleuca’s corporate staff and Marketing Executives are. “I took a team of 43 team members to Convention,” Sabrina explains, “and the fact that they were impressed by their friendliness and noticed it on their own is the

mother. “I watched both virtual Melaleuca Conventions with Aaron,” Amber says. “I told him, ‘You have everything it takes to become a Senior Director or an Executive Director. I’ve known it since the moment I met you.’” Aaron wasn’t ready at first, but Amber had the wisdom to offer him advice and wait. “We can’t pick the timing for others,” she says. “We can’t lead them before they’re ready. Our job is to just love them and meet them where they’re at, and that time will come.” Eventually the demands of Aaron’s work schedule caused a seismic shift in his thinking. When the moment was right, he was ready for a change. Aaron is now a Senior Director who in turn is mentoring his own business builders. “I just love my team,” Amber says. “Our team is called The Hot Mess Success. We have a lot of busy moms, busy nurses, and busy families. We’re not perfect—it’s messy—but it works. “I love them! All of the friends I see advancing in my business are people who I genuinely love and care about. Everything about them matters to me!”

New National Director Amber Springer enrolled with Melaleuca just over three years ago and has been hard at work from the beginning. She started building a business right away and within a short time had enrolled eight customers. “Honestly, I was shocked at my first check,” she says. “It was $378.50, and it was more money than I had made at a previous company after being with them for two and a half years.” This advancement really showcases the importance of Amber’s approach to work. “Business has its ebbs and flows,” Amber says. “But I know that I have to be consistent. I did the same thing every single day for three years. I didn’t change much when I was up or even when I was down. But the work always produced results. The results came at different times, but they always came.” Amber also has a talent for identifying and mentoring strong business builders. Her teammate, Aaron Hendricks, is a perfect example. Amber saw that Aaron needed a solution to create time freedom because his long nursing work hours were taking a toll. His wife, Jennifer, had been making huge sacrifices as a wife and

Inspired by a practice taught by National Director 5 Jen Sebbas, Sarah and her team set a monthly goal for enrollments and keep count in a group chat as they get closer to their goal. “For 2022, the team set a goal to help 222 families every month,” Sarah says. “As a team, we meet on a video call every morning to work on approaches, customer service, following up, and other skills. Every day, team members report any enrollments and count backwards from their goal of 222 to zero. So far, they’ve met their goal every month this year! “As soon as someone is ready to build, we have that Strategy Session, and then we focus on 20 and 5,” she says. “The new business builder identifies 20 friends who would really love to shop here and 5 people they think could be a really great business partner. And we make those approaches right away. That’s a strategy I got from National Director 9 Steve Morgan.” As you can see, Sarah is a student of the business, always learning from those around her. Her ability to be coachable and learn from others’ success has allowed her to develop into a leader who is enhancing lives every step of the way. Sarah and Josh’s momentum is as strong as ever as they practice the Seven Critical Business-Building Activities every day. While National Director is just around the corner, they have their eyes set on advancing to Corporate Director status. And with their commitment to setting and achieving goals, they’ll reach their goals in no time! LH

As Sarah and Josh celebrate their triple advancement to Executive Directors 9, Sarah takes a moment to think about what their life might look like if they hadn’t found Melaleuca. “I’m almost afraid to go there!” Sarah says. “We were unhappy doing what we were doing, which was working with an MLM. It was a direction we didn’t want to go in. We would be burning the candle at both ends, on a hamster wheel.” When the Rankins look at the trajectory of their future with Melaleuca, they are optimistic. “Melaleuca has given us peace,” Sarah says. “We can build for a lifetime here.” Sarah and her team have laser focus and always strive toward their goals. Melaleuca’s latest corporate-sponsored Fast Track added fuel to their fire and enabled them to build momentum. “We got a lot of team momentum from Fast Track,” she explains. “Everyone is so excited for the trip to Tulum.” While there are always new skills to learn and polish, Sarah has found the most success in focusing on developing Directors. How do they do that? They take the onboarding of new Members

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 9 NEW ADVANCEMENTS

David Rodriguez TEXAS An Incredible Journey

heavyweight boxing champion is punching obstacles and limits right in the nose. “I have a successful podcasting business, but Melaleuca is definitely one of my main income streams now,” he says. “It’s been a huge blessing. I don’t have to worry about paying bills. My Melaleuca business gives me peace and the satisfaction that I can rest at night.” As he looks back, David is grateful for how his life has changed in recent years. “This is all God,” he says. “I know that might sound like a cliché, but it’s true. I was a heavy drinker after boxing, but I’ve been sober for two and a half years now. Once I quit drinking—once I gave that sacrifice to God—my life changed. I was broke then, but now my finances are back on track and life is way more positive.” Melaleuca has certainly added a measure of wellness to David’s life. And one of the things he loves the most about the company is that he can share that wellness with others. “I enjoy the camaraderie and seeing people get out of difficult situations,” he says. “I love to see my team earn awards, make money, and feed their families. It impresses me that I have the opportunity to change others’ lives. I want them to be happy, have peace in their hearts, and overcome struggles. That’s what this is all about.” SV

When David Rodriguez heard about Melaleuca, his first response was a categorical no . He thought it was another MLM company, and he didn’t want any part of it. However, he soon learned that Melaleuca is unlike anything else: a consumer direct company that manufactures 99% of their innovative, exceptional products in the US—products inspired by nature and proven by cutting- edge science. After a deeper look, he was impressed with the store and its mission, and he shared what he’d found with his sister, Executive Director 2 Tresha Rodriguez, and his girlfriend, Senior Director 6 Kristine Elezaj. Together, they’ve established a fast- growing organization that’s enhancing thousands of lives. “I owe much of my success to the support from Tresha and Kristine,” David says with gratitude. “They grabbed the bull by the horns and took it down. We made a huge network out of this, and now we have hundreds of people working with us. It’s been an incredible journey.” Since he enrolled a year ago, David has seen his business grow to more than 2,600 Members and 157 Directors. With his magnetic, laid-back approach and hard work, this retired

knocked the training out of the park. We really are being led by the best of the best in this company.” What resonated the most with Katie and her team was how focused Melaleuca is on helping the little guys succeed. The proudest moment for Katie at Convention 2022 was watching Senior Director 3 Seanna Smart and Senior Director Shannon Medina walk across the stage for the very first time. In addition to this advancement, Katie also learned that she qualified for the most prestigious award—President’s Club. This accomplishment was a dream come true for Katie, and it speaks volumes about her leadership. She is looking forward to joining the other elite leaders in Costa Rica this July. “It will be the perfect way to celebrate this latest advancement,” she says. “Ryan and I can’t wait to be there!” Katie also acknowledges the importance of hard work and consistency in building a Melaleuca business. “If you are reading this article and you’ve made the decision to build a Melaleuca business, just know that the grit and consistency behind the scenes is going to carry you through,” she advises. “So just go out there and find partners to lock arms with and stay accountable with. Enjoy the process. Enjoy the journey. It will come to fruition!”

Katie Anderson was a self-described “small-town Minnesota girl and local law enforcement officer for 10 years” before she discovered Melaleuca. “The journey has been incredible,” she says. “My goal when I enrolled was to share some of the financial responsibilities so that my husband didn't have to work two jobs. And with my Melaleuca business, I was able to help our family enjoy greater financial flexibility, one bill at a time." Katie got the incredible chance to celebrate her advancement at Convention 2022, and it gave her a chance to reflect on how much in her life has changed. “The last in-person Convention I attended was back in 2019 as a Director 7 with just 2 team members in tow,” she says. “This time, I was there as an Executive Director 5 with close to 40 team members attending alongside me. It was definitely two totally different worlds for me.” “As a Director 7, I learned a lot about conviction and belief, and that was the first time I saw how incredibly well run Melaleuca really is,” Katie recalls. “But this time around, I’m even more impressed with how powerful the presenters were. They really

together as a family and fulfill our dream of sharing God’s love by serving people from different nations.” Throughout the years, Alma and Carlos have grown as leaders as they’ve worked hard to build a strong team and help other people reach their goals. In the process, their Melaleuca business has pushed them to become better versions of themselves. “We embraced the process of developing our leadership skills, and that journey is reflected in our business,” Carlos explains. “We experienced fast initial growth, then several years without advancing—but real, deep, hidden growth was still taking place. We returned to the basics, to our ground rules, to the Mission Statement, and to our why .” Carlos and Alma are deeply grateful for the sense of wellness, security, and peace of mind that Melaleuca provides. They feel safe knowing they’re establishing a solid, lasting business that’s built on principles that have stood the test of time. “When we are clear about those values and truths, our business mission, and our personal why , it’s difficult to get discouraged or distracted for a long time,” Alma says. “There are so many like us who are ready to start their new lives now. We don’t want to miss them—we want to enhance their lives now.” “Melaleuca is part of us,” Carlos adds. “We can’t live without the products. We see that the company has had a positive impact on every aspect of our lives, starting with our health. And more than ever, we know that part of our mission is doing good and sharing this with other families.”

As they look back, Alma Araiza and Dr. Carlos Galvan are amazed at how much their lives have changed since they enrolled with Melaleuca. During the last 10 years, they’ve seen significant changes in their wellness and their quality of life. More than anything, they love the time and financial freedom Melaleuca has given them. “Melaleuca helped me to provide for my family in a different way,” Carlos says. “As a health care provider, I was caring for the sick, but ironically, I was unable to be with those I love the most when they needed me most. We had the income but not the time. So my wife and I agreed that we would be open to alternatives to achieve greater balance.” “We wanted an occupation that was flexible, something we could do part time—a sort of ‘remote-controlled’ business,” Alma adds, “a business that would give us flexibility and mobility because we’re both passionate about sharing our knowledge through church missions. Our Melaleuca income has allowed my husband to work fewer hours and has allowed us to spend quality time

Raquel & Dennis Jacinto ILLINOIS Melaleuca Gave Me a Second Life

And thanks to the Peak Performance Pack , Dennis has seen several important health markers improve. In 2017, Dennis stopped building his business, although he never stopped using the products. In March 2020, when the world came to a screeching halt, Dennis felt the full impact. “I was in the business of selling frozen foods, and it went down,” he says. “I did not qualify for any of the government stimulus money. I was at rock bottom.” Dennis’s mentors, Executive Directors 9 Eleonor and Luis Navarro, encouraged Dennis to start building a business again. By December 2020, Dennis was a Senior Director. He’s now an Executive Director 4. “My mentors are like angels,” Dennis says. “I am forever grateful to Luis and Eleonor.” Convention 2022 infused Dennis and his team with more excitement for sharing this great company with others. They are focusing on relationship-building skills and increasing their team’s monthly retention rate to 95%. They hope to bring many more team members to Convention next year. Looking back, Dennis sees that Melaleuca gave him so much more than a second chance when he was at rock bottom. “Melaleuca gave me a second life,” he says. “It allows me to provide for my family, improve my health, and help others. I love the life I am living now!” LH

The capacity for Melaleuca to change lives is not lost on Dennis and Raquel Jacinto. They’ve been empowered by Melaleuca in numerous ways, and they are eager to enhance the lives of others by sharing Melaleuca. Dennis and Raquel first enrolled in Melaleuca in 2014. When Dennis learned about Melaleuca, he saw that there was no risk involved. “The products were things that people already buy,” Dennis says. “Building a Melaleuca business is just about sharing your experience with these products. I thought to myself, ‘Why not try?’” “When I first tried the products, I loved them,” he says. Since Melaleuca is company built on product referrals, he was thrilled by the quality and effectiveness of all of Melaleuca’s superior products. Not only was he confident that he could refer other shoppers to Melaleuca, but he was also was excited to do so. “If the products work, the business works,” he says. Right away Raquel noticed that when she cleaned with EcoSense ® products, she didn’t experience headaches and breathing issues.

Matthew & Amanda Wilcox NORTH CAROLINA A Life Worth Celebrating!

a thankless career, so to have recognition at Melaleuca fulfills a real longing and need. That also speaks volumes about how Melaleuca values those who are referring others to its products.” That’s why Amanda is so grateful for all the celebration and recognition her team experienced at Convention 2022. “I’m really excited that I got to go to a Melaleuca event with my whole team!” she says. “I knew they would love it so much! Everything was just so amazing—the level of attention to detail was beyond anything that I had ever experienced before.” Amanda loves that Melaleuca events allow you to brush shoulders with the most successful leaders in the business and draw on their years of leadership experience. She’s grateful for all the new ideas she gets from everyone she meets. But most of all, she loves that at every Melaleuca event, you’re treated like family no matter the current status of your business. That kind of caring culture has helped Amanda grow her business and change her life. Because of Melaleuca, Amanda and Matthew found greater flexibility for raising their daughter, and they were able to move from New York to North Carolina and start Matthew’s new career flipping houses and working in real estate. “If you had told me three years ago that my life would look the way that it looks right now,” Amanda says, “I would have told you that you’re crazy. The friendships, the people I’ve helped, the health that has improved, and the income we’ve earned—it’s all part of the extremely blessed life we now get to live.”

Amanda and Matthew Wilcox are deeply passionate about wellness. For years, they both worked in health care—Amanda as a nurse and director of an assisted living facility and Matthew as a manager for a home health resources program for patients with traumatic brain injuries. So when Melaleuca came on their radar, they had to check it out! Amanda and her best friend, National Director Amber Springer, took a close look at Melaleuca together. They were hopeful that switching to Melaleuca products would improve their families’ health. And with a low-risk business opportunity that looked promising too, they knew they had to enroll. Since then, Amanda has helped so many others find more flexibility with Melaleuca, including a number of fellow nurses. “Nurses attract nurses,” Amanda says. “And the overwhelming thing I hear from my team is that they have never been so recognized for their efforts. They are blown away that Melaleuca celebrates enrolling even just two customers. Nursing can be
