Comments:
Dear sirs, As an independepent business owner of Quixtar, I would like to state the following comments: It is appreciated the FTC is concerned with the prevention of fraudelent scams. However, the thought of government prevention of a seven day grace period for prospects to decide if they want to start their own business takes away freedoms from the prospect not the IBO. From my experience as a Quixtar IBO, whenever a prospect looks at the opportunity, they are proved information from our organization which is FTC approved. This information, I have invested in so that the prospect has a chance to make an informed decision within a 24-48 timeframe., sometimes maybe longer. When the prospect does decide to run as an independent business owner, the prospect does the work to insure their own success irregardless of the success or lack of in the organization they are a part of. It is based on the motivation level of the prospect. Once they are given the opportunity in this or any other business, they alone must be responsible for their success, we as IBO's can give them guidance and continual support. The Quixtar marketing plan has been scrutinized since 1978 and has been found to be a legitmate business opportunity. Th prospect's choices vary in respect to motivation levels and to have a uniformed standard set by the FTC takes away from the prospect whom they are trying to assist. Thank you Norwin Santos
