It can be tempting to turn your answer for “What do you do?” into a mini Melaleuca Overview, detracting from presenting a full Overview in the future. “In general, when someone is asking that question, ‘What do you do?’ they just want tobe able tomentally categorise you,”National Director 9 Heidi Bartolotta says. “It’s really just someone asking you so they can figure out who you are.” Keep your answer simple and to the point so others can get to knowwho you are. Invite them to learn more at a future time.

Be you. “ “ “
I am partnered with an wellness company. I help families detoxify their homes by shopping at a new store with high-quality products at affordable prices. I don’t sell anything. I share details on the store and let people decide for themselves if it’s a fit.” — National Director 3 Jen Sebbas I work sales in the “.com” industry with Melaleuca. I get to work from home around my kids’ schedule. I simply help customers shop on their online site and get paid commissions to do so. I actually think you would be good at what I do and I would enjoy working with you. Are you open to grabbing coffee and we can chat about it? I could definitely show you a way to make a great additional income.” — National Director 9 Brooke Paulin I work from home educating and marketing for an online wellness company. I get to show people how to bring wellness home on a budget and help families and individuals add a legitimate growing revenue stream to their lives. There’s no investment, overhead, selling things, or posting to social media. It’s really meaningful work, and I love it.” — Senior Director 3 Megan Terk
