Comments:
It's unfortunate that the FTC feels the need to pass law Business Opportunity Rule R511993. It not only will cripple businesses that run crooked and unsafe policies which put people in danger but others as well. Thankfully, all businesses aren't under this umbrella of deceit. The company I am blessed to represent has an excellent resource for attentiveness, and their training/teaching is based on the laws and value system, for legitimate sales and stresses the use of proper record keeping and under no circumstances is scamming allowed. Vemma is built on the integrity of it's founder, noting pride and safety for all involved. This is my first year in the Vemma liquid nutrition business which I personally use daily. I'm still trying to get my feet wet in the direct sales industry, to see a profit so that my family's financial needs can be met from a home business, not allowing work outside the home due to my disability. Learning how to market my direct sale business has its own level of luck involved. The personality barriers in place involving the ability to sell a prospective buyer on your product takes a substantial amount of skill. These new laws will no doubt cause further difficulity. The 7 day waiting period hinders closing a sale by the most positive and assertive closer making it harder. My level of confidence has indeed taken a hit as to my performance and presentation skills needed, to assure the buyer of deadlines being necessary for their safety.
