Comments:
I have been in business with Amway and Quixtar for almost 20 years. It has provided a descent income for my family for many years. There are several proposals that you are making that would severely hurt my business or any similar legitimate business. There should not be a seven day waiting period,but rather a money back guarantee that would protect the new member. You should not be required to give a new prospect the names of 10 other distributors. This would be invading the privacy of those 10 distributors, and potentially giving the new prospect the name of 10 competitors. Reference to income should be handled by an approved average income statement on prospecting literature as well as the sign up literature. Prior lawsuit information, either pending or alleged, for approved legitimate businesses does not do the prospect nor the business any good. I believe that Amway and Quixtar have done a great job of protecting the new prospect as well as the distributor. I am proud to be part of this organization as well as this industry. It creates an honest and legitimate opportunity for someone who wants to work and is willing to help others. Sincerly, Bill and Michelle Barnes
