Comments:
I am writing to ask that you reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am a PartyLite Consulant who has been proud to be involved in this business for 18 years. I began my PartyLite business to simply get out of the house, I had 3 young guys under the age of 11. I never dreamed I could make such an awesome income and still stay home and raise my sons. The income I earn has allowed me to raise 4 sons, both as a married woman and now as a single mother. The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income. Specifically, in terms of the references requirement, I would never feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in PartyLite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing PartyLite's very real business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce the business to more people. The regulations you are proposing would hinder me from doing so-and would hinder others in starting their business in the timeframe they choose. Please know that I'm thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, but in this case, you will be working directly against me, impacting my income, my future and my family's future. Please, please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Cheryl Suzore
