Comments:
We agree that clear and standardized income disclosures should be required, and should apply to all direct sellers. It is also extremely important that a REASONABLE CANCELLATION POLICY should be provided. It is too bad that the FTC has to regulate direct sellers to protect the public. My family and I believe that people should be responsible for themselves, and should take necessary steps to understand the basics of any business opportunity in which they are interested. The Quixtar business is a top of the line opportunity. You would be unfairly punishing us IBOs by requiring a 7 day waiting period, or disclosure of past litigation (do you get to find out past litigation against a corporation when you apply for a job?!), or financial records to be disclosed to prospects. Whose financial records? The IBO who is hosting a meeting? The person who invited the prospect? And to give names and contact information of 10 other IBOs in the area to be interviewed - that is a terrible idea. A person should be free to decide for him or herself, not take the opinion of another IBO who may or may not have a credible opinion. This Quixtar business is an honest one, with a history of honest and profitible dealings with IBOS and customers alike. Our corporation strives to be totally honest and fair, going overboard to do everything according to the letter of the law. Please don't make it more difficult for us to sponsor people with all of these new proposals - this opportunity is wonderful and open for all. Thank you for allowing us this opportunity to write to you.
