Comments:
As Quixtar Independent Business owners, we appreciate you wanting to protect prospects, but we feel your proposal is far too unreal. We suggest: 1 - we SHOULD create a level playing field by requiring clear, simple, and standardized income disclosures that apply to ALL direct sales companies. 2 - we SHOULD provide a reasonable cancellation policy. 3 - we SHOULD NOT require a seven-day waiting period before a prospect could register. 4 - we SHOULD NOT require an independent business owner to provide prospects with references or disclosures of past litigation, as that is history and not current. 5 - we SHOULD NOT require financial records to be disclosed to prospects, as this is private/personal information. We realize there are problem companies out there, but Quixtar is NOT one of them, being a member of the Better Business Bureau, Dun & Bradstreet and RSA. Please reconsider your proposal. Sincerely, Sandy Lebman
