Comments:
Please reconsider some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate in the direct sales industry. I am a Partylite Consultant who has been proud to be involved in this business for 15 years. I began my business to earn a fabulous income and share this opportunity with others. The income I have earned has allowed me become financially independant and work from my home leaving more free time for family. 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 Partylite to more people who could benefit as I have. The regulationns you are proposing would hinder me from doing so and would hinder others in starting their business in the time frame they choose. Please know that I am thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, but in this case, you will be working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family's future. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing, Respectfully yours, Maryanne Glendenning
