Seville & Rachaell Ko KANSAS The Power of the Products

This community of true product advocates spreads contagious excitement about the difference Melaleuca can make. But it also makes a great impact on Seville and Rachaell’s ability to develop new leaders. “We’re watching rock star leaders emerge and mature,” Seville says. The Directors in their organization are able to share their belief in the products by converting their own homes. “If you haven’t converted your home and switched everything to Melaleuca—from the laundry room to the kitchen to the bathroom to the medicine cabinet—then you’re not leading by example,” Rachaell believes. Even though their team members are spread apart geographically, talking more about the products internally is bringing more unity and focus to the team. Seville and Rachaell have found freedom for their family when it comes to both finances and family stress. The couple has achieved step one of the Financial Freedom Awards and is actively working toward the Financial Freedom award by paying off their car and having no other debt other than their mortgage. They’re expecting a brand-new baby boy in August and are thrilled to be bringing him into a home with a secure financial future thanks to their growing residual income. “Melaleuca has changed everything for us,” Rachaell says. “When you’re expecting a new baby, there’s this whole new pressure of, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m financially responsible for this human life!’ But with this baby, we have no worries about money whatsoever.” Seville adds, “We’re extremely grateful for Melaleuca CEO Frank VanderSloot and the many pioneers here who have paved the way for us over the past few decades.” MW

On day one of their Melaleuca journey, Seville and Rachaell Ko began with the end in mind: building a business to last a lifetime. They were impressed by the long-term results that Corporate Directors 9 Jeff and Maureen Miller shared with them, and they knew that with hard work and discipline, the Melaleuca way would be simple to implement and easy to follow. “We came to Melaleuca with a 30-plus-year vision for our business,” Seville says. To bring that vision to life, the Kos have followed Frank’s advice to track what they want to increase. Their goal is to personally match the company’s retention rate of 96% in their organization—and they’re getting close! Recently they’ve discovered a great retention secret: sharing their love of the products and encouraging every home to completely switch stores. That’s why the Kos are coaching their team to go green. Since the Kos have increased their focus on sharing their love of the products, they find themselves with a raving fan base of Melaleuca customers. Their private Facebook group contains more than two thousand customers who share how the products are enhancing their lives. Rachaell says, “I often read posts on the Facebook page that say things like, ‘We washed our muddy, stained shoes with MelaBrite® Plus Oxi and now they’re bright white!’ It’s nothing glamorous, but it’s real, everyday experiences from real people.”

Seville and Rachaell have discovered that retention and the products go hand in hand. “We came out of Convention
