Comments:
To whom it may concern, I am a current IBO representing the Britt World Wide system and the Quixtar Opportunity. I have been in business for approximately 4 years. The results I ahve seen throught his business are unlike anything else I've seen, in that, they rely soloey on my work ethic and not a pay scale. I have received continued assistance from my upline, who wants to see me achieve any goal I wish to set. I return for their help, their family will receive residual compensation, but ultimately, only after they have helped me to be a well rounded and profitable business owner. As a Business Owner, I appreciate all that the FTC does to ensure that my business powered by Quixtar and built through BWW is well represented and conducted properly. Upon review of the proposed ruling, however, it is my opinion that there are a few items that need revisiting. If we are to assume that the new rule will better support a "true" business opportunity, then we must responsibly treat it as such. Remembering back to my days of the interview process, the company I was looking to join did not provide me with references, give me a company listing to call upon current employees, offer to let me look into their books for financial information, or even attempt to share with me all of the leagal action they were involved in. How many traditional businesses sit down with a propsective employee and share that if they choose to join the team, they should know about the lawsuit for a "slip and fall" suit that is curently underway? If I chose to do so, it was up to me to do the investigating. They did, however, require references for me to research my CHARACTER and WORK ETHIC. I believe strongly that as I expand my business and am able to use the links and relationships that we currently have with your institution and the B.B.B., I am building and bringing on team members who have been given every opportunity to properly research our system through written information and the fact that I direct them to your sites. The key factor is that I first choose to qualify whether they have the character or integrity to join such a fast growing and responsible team. To sum this up, I feel that making a motion to rid our industry of the illegal schemes that exist is very admirable and appreciated. But we cannot, responsibily, require legitament businesses to undergo waiting periods and reference checks when the FTC has already placed the information where anyone looking for it could find about our company and business system. Requiring the references to FTC and BBB on all of our infomation that we interview with is very convenient for both myself and anyone that I am considering to be a integral part of my team. This would give them the opportunity to research properly and therefore immediately see who is actually a true business. As a business owner in the best sytem in the world (BWW) and powered by the best vehicle (Quixtar), I truly appreciate the FTC's contiunued involvement to make sure that we are properly represented in the business community. In my humble opinion, other systems of seven day wating periods have been issued over the past few years to attempt a broad sense of control. I would not like to see that association fall upon my business, as I build this for my childrens' financial future, not just mine. In conclusion, I am sincere when I say thank you for your continued efforts to ensure a legal and intergirty based representation for our business. It has been, and continues to be, my pleaseure to send people to the FTC to do proper and adequate research, knowing that they will find the facts. Very Truly Yours, Aaron M.
