Chris Johnson and Melaleuca

Chris Johnson has joined the Melaleuca band wagon and will deceptively present it at the end of seminars as an effortless way to have your own online wholesaler that will give you residual income. He will say his presentation will only take a few moments, but in Chris time that can easily be an hour and a half. Of course the grand prize draw at the seminars he's at will only take place after this presentation.
Melaleuca seems to be an alright company with decent, but overpriced products like most MLM. What was frustrating about Chris Johnson's presentation was earlier he would bash other MLMs and then he would sneakily and slowly introduce Melaleuca and it seemed that for the first 30 minutes he wouldn't even say the company's name just to build up suspense.
As an aside if you do get suckered into Melaleuca and wish to cancel you will need to fax in your signature saying you want to cancel and then call to double confirm that it was received and acknowledged otherwise they will eagerly send you $75 worth of their product for yet another month.

Chris Johnson puts on this 2 day seminar. He has a lot of handouts that come directly from government websites. As with most seminars half the time will be spent trying to sell you something. One thing to beware is that the staff demanded your credit card be processed before you could even see the contract. It's also a pain and a long hassle to return any products with his office. Also beware his sense of time: A brief 3 minute overview will easily turn into 45 minutes. Finally, if he flashes a $100 bill on stage and asks who wants it just go up there and grab it.
