EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 2 ADVANCEMENTS NEW

Robert & Dawn Lemus FLORIDA The Promise of Real Residual Income

“Melaleuca launched the PURE ™ Essential Oils brand at that Convention,” Dawn recalls. “And I said, ‘It’s on!’ We realized Melaleuca was a product-first company that understood the true value of real customers.” Robert and Dawn experienced early momentum and success, but they found their growth slowing after reaching Senior Director 9. “We hit a flat spot, and we began to experience some setbacks,” Robert explains. Discouraged, they took a step back from their Melaleuca business. But even though they weren’t actively building, Scott and Shana Falany maintained their relationship. “They never gave up on us,” Robert says. “They kept in close contact as friends and often invited us to their events.” The Falany’s commitment to their friendship was rewarded when about a year later they invited Robert and Dawn to another event. “The timing was right for us, and we reengaged in our business.” Robert says. Over the next several months, they came close to advancing to Executive Director but would just miss it. Instead of getting discouraged, Robert and Dawn just worked harder. “We never expected it to be easy,” Robert says. “We just wanted it to be worth it. And after four years and one month, it’s totally been worth it!” Robert and Dawn now have a business report of their own with customers that stretch back to their enrollment. And thanks to their dedication and persistence, they have double advanced to Executive Directors 2 and are looking forward to many years of reliable, residual income.

When Robert and Dawn Lemus were first approached about Melaleuca in 2015, they wanted nothing to do with it. They had been disappointed by MLMs in the past and were afraid Melaleuca was just another “false reality letdown.” But National Director Scott Falany was persistent. As Robert says, “Out of courtesy and respect for our past friendship, we eventually listened to what he wanted to say.” What Scott said really stuck out to Robert and Dawn. Scott not only told them about the company and products, he told them about his enroller, Corporate Director 9 Jeff Miller. While Jeff had been with the company more than 18 years at that time, he had a business report that showed that he still had many customers from his earliest days building a Melaleuca business. “That shifted us to a wide-open attention span,” Robert says. “Retention of that many customers meant that Jeff was realizing real residual income. In everything that Dawn and I had been aligned with in the past, we had never experienced true long- term retention or residual income.” Inspired by what they saw, Robert and Dawn enrolled with Melaleuca and shortly thereafter attended their first Convention.

The Lemus team philosophy is to qualify for every incentive, every month. “That will keep you on the Pacesetter time frame and you’ll never miss a bonus,” Robert says.
