Comments:
I am a new distributor with XANGO and new to network marketing all together. I chose this company based on an impeccable product and an organization with a business ethic to match. The product alone has improved the quality of my family's health and the business opportunity has given me the leverage I need to afford the ever increasing costs of single parenting/homeowning without detracting from the time I spend with them. Having just experienced the devastation of a flood, it was comforting to know my Xango business continued to run while my house was in turmoil. As a consumer I totally appreciate the FTC's goal to protect consumers against unfair or fraudulent practices but the Business Opportunity Rule r51193 can negatively impact the legitimate and benefitial businesses. The items specifically concerning me are The 7 day waiting period: This will create a delay in people getting a product that may truely help them not to mention the create a more complicated record keeping system. List of nearest references: Creates a serious privacy issue. People are often leary of even giving a ss# for wholesale purposes let alone know that their private information will be so available to others. These two items alone would have seriously and likely negatively effected my decision to become a Xango distributor and I believe it will deter others. My decision to join Xango was a good one. I reiterate, It is a great Company that works on simplicity. Good product/good business. Please don't complicate the system by imposing these rules. Respectfully, Linda Jamison
