OLGAAPANAVICIENE 2020 EUROPE MARKETING EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR

It all started September 1, 35 years ago. Thanks to you, Melaleuca has grown from a little startup in Idaho Falls, Idaho to a multi-billion dollar global enterprise. Today, we are the largest wellness shopping club in North America! But, we have only built the foundation for far greater things to come!

Olga Apanaviciene has always had an entrepreneurial spirit of helping others, but it wasn’t until Melaleuca came into her life that she realized helping others was going to be a reality. Since becoming a customer Olga has grown to appreciate the time, research and science that has been invested to ensure the quality and variety are up to our customer’s standards and expectations. In addition, Olga figured out early on that the compensation plan created options and opportunities for herself and her friends. Once Olga made the decision to enroll in September 2016, she has grown her organization over 2000 people and advanced to the status of Executive Director 5. She has been able to achieve this status because of the excellent quality in our products resulting in a retention rate of over 90% and her relentless work ethic. Leading by example has always been her greatest value every day in her life. As she states. “I wake up, set up a list of contacts, set appointments, make a presentation, fall asleep and the next day I do exact same thing again”. Executive Director 5 Olga Apanaviciene also understands the importance of recognizing others for their hard work and accomplishments. It shows value to those who are working hard throughout the organisation and provides in appreciation, hope, support, and recognition that they rarely receive in their occupations. Olga will often times sacrifice her time and resources to hold meetings that create a venue of warmth and welcoming. This is also vital to growth of her business as it creates an environment of acceptance and comradery to guests and new business partners. When asked about advice that can built a successful business, Olga says: • Do not try to reinvent the wheel, the system is already there, all you need to do is to trust it. Perform the 7 Critical Business Activities.
