Comments:
I am contacting you in reference to Business Opportunity Rule 16 CFR Part 437. I am a fairly new consultant and I started this business opportunity in order to provide a better life for my children, including an opportunity for them to attend college. The proposals you are suggesting would make my business much more difficult and possibly impact my income, thereby reducing the chances for my children to have a better life in the future. Specifically, in terms of the references requirement, I would never feel comfortable providing the personal contact information of other people in PartyLite, nor would I want my own personal information given out freely. I feel good about sharing PartyLite’s very real business opportunity with others, and want to continue to easily introduce PartyLite to more people who could benefit as I have. The regulations you are proposing would hinder me from doing so - and would hinder others in starting their business in the timeframe they choose. Please know that I’m thankful that we have the FTC working to protect average consumers like me, but in this case, you will be working against me, impacting my income, my future and my family’s future. Please reconsider the regulations you are proposing and do not allow it to become a requirement for my business. Respectfully yours, Ms. Pearson
