I have been an IBO for 2-1/2 years. I believe that you are doing a great job of helping people not be susceptible to scams. I started my business because I knew I spent $400 per month on products. I got started because people spend money at Costco and spend $75 to join before they buy anything, or they can make some money by purchasing the same thing and spending $135 with a product intro pack, whats new monthly newsletter, and insurance. I was skeptical at first but I soon realized that this was a great opportunity. I always had the option to get a full refund after the first 6 months if not satisfied. The people in this business have helped me to become a better person and there is no price to put to that. We always tell people they can get started when they are ready too. It would reduce the profitability by waiting seven days. I believe that you would be affecting my business because a lot of people that take forever to make decisions usually change their decisions quickly. I believe that once they become an IBO with us they get more committed to helping themselves help people. Supplying a list of local IBOs would be irrelevant. Most people build their business locally first. All they would have to do is to speak to the team you are apart of. We do that part already, people want to see that you are part of something then they can be part of something. Two people sitting around isn’t a team, it is just a meeting. We have a written statement on the internet and on the form that explains that the average income is $115 per month. If they can not read it when it is bolded…. It is a contract. Giving someone my records doesn’t mean anything except giving out my private information. If and when you get a job do you ask the person interviewing you “How much do you make?”
