Melaleuca VS MLM
The distinguishing difference between Melaleuca is that with Melaleuca there are not multiple levels of distribution. As all state and federal legal definitions make clear, MLM consists of the buying and selling of products by distributors. Melaleuca Marketing Executives do not resell any product. In fact, Melaleuca’s policies strictly forbid it.
In Melaleuca’s model, a Marketing Executive simply refers customers to Melaleuca, helps them set up shopping accounts and then trains others to do so. Melaleuca’s Marketing Executive don’t sell products like MLM distributors. Commissions are not based on sale to other distributors, but on purchases made by actual customers.
These differences are significant, which is the Idaho State Tax Commission has stated, “Melaleuca, Inc. does not fall within the legal definition for a Multi Level Marketer.”
With Melaleuca there is only a single transaction between Melaleuca and the end consumer. Melaleuca has no distributors since Melaleuca handles the entire transaction, thus no multiple levels.
