Comments:
I have been affiliated with the quixtar business model and an active Independent Business Owner (IBO) since 1993. As an IBO I have some concerns about the FTC ruling on our business and would like to share my thoughts on the following issues: 1) Asking my prospects to wait 7 days before signing up would cost them opportunity to save money on products they normally purchase and would allow others to poach them out of my business. I find that those who are serious about business don't want to "wait and cool off". 2) Having me provide references would put my prospects at risk of being sponsored under a different organization than my own. This could cause confusion as to how to build an effective organization by drawing from multiple sources. Would you want to attend two different universities at the same time in order to get your degree? 3) Specific Earnings Disclosers is like asking you how often you make love to your wife. I think you're out of bonds on this one. We currently use the SA4400 which was approved by the FTC... enough said 4) Financial Substantiation: I don't see the added value there. Should you base your success in college upon my degree and my efforts? 5) This business model has been creating success for hard working people like myself for over 40 years. Do you really think you need to allow a bunch of beaurocratic baffoons screw it up for our country? Let the market place determine it's own success...we are Americans...and we have the American Dream....business ownership. OUR own business to tend to... Sign Me dedicated to Free Enterprise.
