For the hundreds of attendees at Melaleuca Australia and New Zealand 2018 Convention, all roads led to a new location, new venue and a new theme. The Adelaide Convention Centre in South Australia was a fitting venue to hold what was a truly an inspiring event.
The band began to play and the Marketing Executives enjoyed the rest of the evening dancing, celebrating and sharing each other’s company. Day two saw the introduction of Director of International Sales, Peter Lamb who hosted a panel of our most experienced and qualified leaders through a series of ‘how to’ and ‘why’s’. This lead to many questions being asked and answered by newly joined Marketing Executives who have just begun on their road—Some of the question were: How have they worked their way to where they are today? How do I make approaches? What happens if someone says “no” to me? Daniel drew the event to a close as he invited comments from the floor and asked where their road would take them from here. Belinda Onofria’s answer resonated with many in the room and one all will take away: “ I’ve worked for the same employer for nine years. Recently, one of my customers sent a thank you letter to the owner of the company thanking me for my work. He didn’t pass it on or make any mention of it! Now, having seen how people at Melaleuca are rewarded, I’ve decided I’m going to work hard here and get recognised properly !” As the event came to a close and looking back over the two days of tears, laughter, celebration and of course recognition we can really see that—All roads do lead to Melaleuca.
the benefits of Peak Performance closed a very informative presentation from Director of International Marketing, Brandon Mucci. Melaleuca Australia and New Zealand then launched into a new age of Online Enrolments and Digital Membership Kits coinciding with the introduction of the all new Melaleuca: an Overview; which replaces the Delivering Wellness Overview. A long overdue step into the 21st century with a view to ease of access and user friendliness. The Bowties and Bling theme set the mood for the much-anticipated prestigious Awards Gala on Friday night. Staged in a scenic panorama ballroom, attendees strode the red carpet stopping for the occasional glamour shot, and then were attentively escorted to their seats to await the night’s proceedings to begin. Blessings were made, dinner was served and then the awards to honour the hard work and dedication, many of our Marketing Executives had achieved in 2017. This then lead to the announcement of, the Marketing Executive of the Year award. Deservedly won for the second successive year by Senior Director 8, Carole Sellar. To a standing ovation and a blast of confetti, Carole received her award. With her irrepressible persona still shining through amongst the hysteria, you could taste the palpable murmur of many Marketing Executives in the room contemplating—what it must be like to be in her shoes at that very moment.
General Manager Daniel Wood opened the event by discussing the crossroads in your life, and by how deciding which path you will begin on next, will most likely determine the future that you may have. Having shared his own personal crossroad moment, Daniel set the tone for what was to come over the two-day event, as Marketing Executives begun to wonder “ Am I at a crossroad ?” “ Where is my road taking me ?” As the morning progressed, Events Coordinator, Natalia Dasilva recognised and celebrated Directors through to Directors 9 in attendance. The hall was buzzing with excitement and the celebration continued with the announcements of Melaleuca’s newest products. Flavours new and familiar from Hidden Garden Premium Tea were met with an overwhelming response. Prespot Instant Stain Remover Stick , a completely new addition to our Prespot range, and must have product for any Melaleuca Customer, set the enthusiastic vibe for the multitude of other new products launched. You could sense the leaders in the room beginning to realise how Melaleuca could enhance their customers shopping experience again and again, month after month. The Product showcase was opened to allowed Marketing Executives to explore, touch and try all of Melaleuca’s 400 plus products.
