A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE
At just 18 months old, Julie and Steve?s daughter Stefanie was having a rough time. She suffered from health problems and reacted to many of the products that Julie brought into their home, and that meant Julie was constantly searching for products that wouldn?t exacerbate her daughter?s conditions.
One day, Julie?s sister-in-law Renae Peters introduced her to Melaleuca, and Julie started ordering and using the products. Within three months, Stefanie?s symptoms had cleared up.
Julie decided right then and there she was a Melaleuca customer for life. She had finally found products that gave her hope. And today, more than 20 years later, she?s not just one of Melaleuca?s longtime customers. She?s also built a vibrant Executive Director IX business telling other people about the EcoSense?products she loves.
?I didn?t realize how much our cleaning products were affecting our health,? Julie remembers. ?Now, when I go into homes where they use generic cleaning products, I almost get an instant headache. I?m so appreciative of how much our home has changed.?
?HOW COULD THIS ENHANCE YOUR LIFE??
Julie loves to pass along hope to other people. ?As I?m presenting to potential customers, I?ll stop at the page that introduces Melaleuca?s four areas of wellness and ask, ?How could this enhance your life??? says Julie. She?s found that everyone has an answer to that question. They could be worried about the safety of their home, they could be struggling with a skin condition like eczema or they could be trying to make a tight budget stretch a little.
For young couples with small children, Julie says, EcoSense is a revelation. With no toxic chemicals?and formulas that don?t even require safety caps?EcoSense products contribute to a safer home. And when you point out that with EcoSense you?ll be recycling three bottles instead of nine, says Julie, that?s an ?aha? moment for people.
?I really think people are becoming more aware of recycling and how important it is,? she says. ?And our products are helping people do their part to help the environment.?
But what about cost? Cleaners that are safer for the home and friendlier to the environment tend to cost more than everyday cleaners from the grocery store. Families are more open to those benefits nowadays, but they can?t always afford them. Julie loves to show these families?a few EcoSense price comparisons.
?And then,? she says, ?it?s a no-brainer.?
MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH DIAMOND BRITE
The Peters take environmental friendliness to heart. As waterskiing enthusiasts, they pay attention to the condition of the lake behind their home?and they worry about the thousands of other lakes that dot Minnesota. There are more than 10,000 lakes in the state, and more and more of them?even the more remote ones?are starting to suffer the effects of increased algae growth.
?We really like to be out entertaining on the lake and pulling people behind the boat,? she says. ?But nobody likes to fall down in green slime!?
That?s why, when Julie is presenting EcoSense, she?ll often lead with Diamond Brite. Its phosphate-free formula perfectly addresses the concerns many people have about keeping their waterways clean. For the Peters and for people they know who want to take an active role in caring for the world around them, products like Diamond Brite are a great place to make an immediate difference.
?IN MY HOME, YOU CLEAN WITH ECOSENSE?
There?s a hard and fast rule in Julie?s home. When you clean, you clean with EcoSense. That?s what Julie told Kris Smith, the woman she hired to clean her home a year and a half ago.
Kris was skeptical at first. She?d never found ?safe? or ?natural? products that worked very well. She was especially Julie insisted, and Kris finally relented. She?d use only EcoSense.
What Julie didn?t know yet was that Kris had previously been advised by her doctor to switch professions. The cleaning chemicals she was using every day on the job were starting to cause problems, including asthma-like symptoms from breathing in the fumes.
Using EcoSense cleaners was career-changing for her. Not only did they contain none of the caustic chemicals that were affecting her health, but they worked marvelously well.
In fact, Kris liked EcoSense so much that she began her own Melaleuca business. Today she earns $500 to $600 a month referring other customers. And her favorite product? Tub & Tile?. ?I can?t shut her up about it,? laughs Julie.
