Comments:
I have recently started my own business selling partylite candles. I am a full time student at Wilmington College. I am majoring in Elementary Education with a minor is Special education. This new business opportunity is allowing me to try to leave college with little debit. Two of the proposed regulations would deeply impact my business. The first regulation is the seven day waiting period, this would mean that a potential new Consultant could not join until seven days after being provided with detailed papers about the business. An interested Hostess might have to wait to turn her Show into a Starter Show. She'd lose the momentum of her enthusiasm and that of her friends and family. The second regulation is the ten required references. To sponsor someone, it would be necessary for you to provide each potential new Consultant with names and phone numbers of ten geographically closest Consultants so they could get references about PartyLite. Not only would this be time-consuming from a clerical point of view, it might even be considered an invasion of privacy for other Leaders and Consultants. I ask that you not pass this regulation on my and my other assicociate be half.
