FTC Letter Writing Instructions We suggest that your communication with the FTC cover the following areas: 1. Your personal story Years selling Arbonne products How selling Arbonne’s products contributes to your family finances How selling Arbonne’s products has helped you develop as a person (confidence, communication skills, business experience, etc.) 2. Seven-day waiting period Casts direct selling plan in a negative light Record keeping and administrative problems Causes unnecessary delays 3. Litigation reporting Unfair that it does not distinguish between winning and losing lawsuits 4. References Impractical to find 10 nearest Consultants Privacy issues due to ID theft and safety 5. Appreciate FTC’s goals, but Understand that are fraudulent groups out there, but the FTC’s proposed rule would unfairly target legitimate direct selling businesses
