I sure appreciate what you have done and continue to do for the free enterprise system here in America. I understand that there are some illegitimate businesses who try to take advantage of our great system and its people and you have done a great job in addressing those businesses. Your recent proposed rule clearly addresses the ongoing need to conduct our businesses with integrity and honesty. However, I feel that some parts of your new proposals may hinder my business and the business of many other hard working Americans that utilize the Quixtar opportunity. The first area I would like to discuss is the proposed 7-day waiting period. I have never pressured a prospect to start his/her own business, but I also would never want to hinder anyone’s excitement to get a fast start. I have never registered someone within 7 days, but I would not want to have to say no to someone who wants to. I personally wanted to get registered right away when I saw the opportunity. However, my sponsor knew that I didn’t have enough information to make an educated decision. I was probably close to 10 days before I convinced my sponsor that I was ready to get started. Thus proving that the current system works. The second issue I would like to discuss is the proposed list of 10 references. Although not a bad idea, I feel it might infringe on our business owners rights. Also, it’s like buying a car. A car purchase is a big decision, but the dealers shouldn’t have to give a list of other people who just bought that same car. (That list could be a gold mine to car thieves). I personally do not want my name and address being passed out for someone else. Nor would I want to ask someone else to do the same for me. The last issue I would like to raise is the proposed need for a list of lawsuits/past litigations. All this would do is add unnecessary doubt and confusion to an already overwhelmed with information prospect. All large companies have legal claims against them. Yet you do not see a list of lawsuits posted on every Wal-Mart door or General Motor’s dealership. That would just be bad business. You get my point. I knew any large business would have its critics so I went to one of the mentors and asked him what the critics where saying. He was straight up with me. I respected that. And I made the decision to follow positive people instead of listening to the critics. Many of the proposed rules are fair and just. However, I felt the need to address these three issues that I feel would hinder my business. The Quixtar opportunity has always been a 100 % money-back guarantee and I make that very clear to all my prospects. All new members have a 6-month period to meet other people in the business, learn about the business and even research any past litigation if they choose. That is exactly what I did. I felt completely at ease with the process. I was never pressured or limited on information that they provided or I asked for. I’ve been in business with Quixtar for almost 2 years now, and my wife and I have never been more excited about being free in America as we are today. We are not financially free yet. We knew this business was not a get rich quick business, so we are not surprised at the fact that we are not into the 6-digit income after 2 years. I am proud to be an independent business owner and I feel that Quixtar provides an excellent and very professional opportunity. Thank you for listening to my concerns. Sincerely, Brian S. Snyder
