Comments:
To Whom it may concern, I have been a customer of partylite for 6 years now and I have been a consultant for almost a year. I can understand and appreciate what you are trying to do to stop fraudulent businesses but I fear that in taking the steps you are currently trying to do you may hurt the business that I have come to depend on. Partylite has always been an upstanding business and has always taken care of the people interested in becoming consultants as well as taking good care of their customers. I believe that if you instill the 7-day plan of educating prospective customers we may loose a lot of valuable future consultants. As well, the ten-reference regulation could be quite difficult. I live in Hawaii and there are only a few, i.e. 4or 5, consultants on this island so it would be impossible to comply with this regulation and I would never be able to build on my own business. I feel with the new regulations that you are asking the impossible as well as the improbable of some of the better and legitimate businesses. I only ask that all avenues be examined before the decision is made on this issue. There has to be a better way to help weed out the frauds and still support the legitimate businesses. Thank you, Sandra Lenning
