Comments:
I have been an IBO since before Quixtar opened. The only time I heard about FTC rules was from my upline and Quixtar. It seems to me, more rules without education does nothing for the person who does not research. As for as specifics, I don't need a 7 day rule since the prospect can get their money back for up to a year. This has happened in my organization and I encourage it since we don't need the negative press. As far as references, "local" means what? This limits my business from expanding into areas for the first time. It also would limit any other legimate startup who may not have 10 references, -bad rule. Litigation list can not be policed. How would I know what lawsuits are out there, either against my upline or Quixtar. - bad rule. In conclusion, by implementing more rules you potentially steal someones opportunity. In the beginning, we are all skeptable and any negative can cause us to stay away. I would hate to know that some stupid rule kept me out of this business. We have a year to figure out if it is for us or not. I appreciate the fact you are trying to get rid of bogus businesses and quite frankly I wish you would. This would make growing my business easier. I just don't think these rules are fair for any business Quixtar or any startup that is legit. What you need to do is set up a website that defines what is a legimate business so we can point people in the right direction. We are your only educational force and more rules won't help.
