Comments:
I am writing to ask that you reconsider the requirements you are proposing to regulate the direct sales industry. I am a new PartyLite Consultant who has been proud to be involved in this business for my first couple of months. I began my PartyLite business to make more money for my college education on the side of a part time job so that I can help myself better myself to help others. The income that I will earn once my PartyLite business gets a firm footing will greatly assist me at the current time and my plans for the future. 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 regulations you are proposing would hinder me from doing so - and would hinder others in starting their businesses in the timeframe they choose. Please know that I'm thankful they 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 future consultant's future at success. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing. Respectfully yours, Amanda M. Kexel
