Comments:
I was just reading of some of the rules you are looking to pass onto the Network marketing business and frankly they are just not reasonable what so ever and some even infringe on peoples free will. for instance: Prohibit prospects from registering as IBOs until seven days after they receive a disclosure document. Your infringing here on both parties free will. The prospect may want to get going with it right away and you are telling them you cant??? Require IBOs to give every prospect a list of “references” – contact information for 10 other IBOs in the area – seven days before the prospect registers. So what does a new IBO do? We all go to meetings that have hundreds or thousands of people. Shouldnt this be ENOUGH? List all legal allegations – lawsuits, arbitrations, and other legal claims – against Quixtar and its IBOs from the past 10 years. Why would any sane person want to show someone where all of the negative stuff is? So instead of getting the new person going with the business we take them and let them read up on negative things. AGAIN imposing on my FREE WILL. Because I will never do such a thing. What I tell IBOS that visit these places is that they will find allot of negative and mostly untrue things there. People are intersted in that junk as you may think. # Require IBOs to calculate and make different disclosures for every income claim. # Require that every prospect receive “substantiation” for every income claim. We have marketing plans that substantiate these claims. I agree perhaps that all content shown by any group should be content reviewed and approved by the corporation who should clearly understand what the GUIDELINES are. Careful on the time frames and sending things here and there for review to delay the progress of such groups. on the next point, an IBO does not HAVE to give anyone anything! if the party is interested then we "could" and obviously will give them materials to review. I am an IBO, independent business owner. Im not employed by anyone. Sure the company has to have its boundaries and rules and regulations but none should be so that it infringes with a perons free will and none should be that complicates things for the new person now getting involved. Perhaps the new rules guidelines should be those that want to KEEP THINGS SIMPLE for the new person no seing the marketing plan. KEEPING things as simple as possible is what makes this a good opportunity and any entity looking to do the opposite is doing harm to the industry and mostly harm to themselves in breaking Gods laws of love. Do you know how imposed junk not inkeeping is handled in our market? Sign here, no ned to read that, its allot of junk, I never read it. There should be no need for a person to do this. Lets keep it simple. Folks come and go in this business because they have their "Free will" to do so. What are your true concerns?? perhaps if you came to me and told me what they REALLY were then we could come up with ways to TRULY handle them. Sincerely,
