Hi, My name I Joshua A. Weiner. I have been involved with Quixtar opportunity for about 6 months, and I can't even begin to explain how positvely this business has effected my life. I was given more than enough information before begining my business. When I sponsor other individuals There are two formal meetings that take place. First one is to give basic information on our program, and the second is to give detailed information on exactly how things work. After the second meeting the individual is given a liturature package to take home and review all of the information at their own speed. Once the person is ready to start I will start building their business even before they sign up. One of the first things that I tell people is that this is not a "get rich quick plan". The average person will invest an average of $150 to $175 to get started. The person has a 6 month money back garantee on their money and they will get all of their money back. There are a lot of restraints that would be put on my business if my prospects had to wait seven days to begin. Often times people will see our opportunity and want to get started that same day. It has happened many times where an individual started their business and within a two week time period had ten to twenty people in their network. Not only would it be bad for my business but it would be bad for the new and excited prospect. I cant see any advantages to anyone by putting this rule in place for our business. It would drastically effect a new persons business. It would be extremely unfair to my business and my family if I was obligated to give a list of other IBOs in the area. It would potentially cut my effectiveness and my ability to expand my network in half if not more. On the other side of things I would not feel comfortable with the fact that my personal information could be given away to a person that I do not know. In regards to the "Litigation List". I feel this is some what of a silly idea. Just because a file has been claimed, does not mean there is any validity with the claim. In business you are as good as your name. If I was forced to diclose every legality to a individual would seriouly impeade my effectiveness. My question is, how obserd would it be to tell Wal-Mart that before any costomer could buy any of the products in Wal-Mart, they had to disclose all Litigation involving the company. That rule seems extremely unfair. I dont beleive that I should have to disclose any of my personal income information to anyone. Let alone a potential prospect. This rule does not sit well with me either. My over all feelings of the new proposal are actually feeling of relief. I understand what The FTC is trying to do with this rule and I appreciate it. There are a lot of shady and less than honorable programs out there. I would like to thank you. If we can get rid of all of those other programs than I would have less difficulties dealing with people who may be confused with what my business offer. My business means everthing to me.I really appreciate the opportunity to voice my opinion on this matter. Thank you for listening, sincerely, Joshua A Weiner
