Comments:
Dear Federal Trade Commission: First I want to thank you for the wonderful job you do to protect consumers from fraud. I am a PartyLite Consultant and as such I am concerned about some of the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I feel that some of what is proposed will greatly impact my legitimate business. Specifically the point of providing references. I feel that it could be an invasion of other Consultants privacy. Then there is the point of having a waiting period I feel that would adversely effect the new Consultant. New Consultants are excited when they hear about the PartyLite opportunity and are eager to begin. Causing them to wait, could impact their initial momentum and cause them lost revenue. I have been with PartyLite for a year and I feel like it is the best job for me. I enjoy what I do and am pleased to offer it to others. PartyLite is a very generous legitimate company. I have been in other direct sales jobs but none come close to PartyLite. I hope you will reconsider some of the regulations that will adversely impact my business. Respectfully yours. Jeanmarie Maxwell
