Hi Dr. David
I have a downline person ask me if they can donate 4Life products to the Kid's Foundation, rather than money. The basis for the question is if they can donate product, then it would work out to be double good...The first good would be that of helping others. THE SECOND "GOOD" WOULD BE ADDING VOLUME TO THE DONATORS VOLUME REPORT. My initial reaction was to say "Sure, it's OK to authorize 4Life to send product to the foundation".
But then I had a second thought, that maybe this is already being taken as a write off in some manner, and not knowing how it is actually being handled I had better make sure of my facts before I give an off-the- top-of-my-head type answer.
For a good purpose such as this Foundation , it would seem that having 4Life ship the product in the donors name, even if it were a once-a-month bulk shipment of all the donations provided by the distributors. THE RESULT COULD BE AN ADDED INCENTIVE FOR DISTRIBUTORS TO DONATE EVEN MORE, IF THEY REALIZED THEIR DONATIONS WERE ALSO BEING ADDED TO THEIR PERSONAL BUSINESS VOLUME.
SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE A WIN WIN SITUATION TO IMPLEMENT. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
GOD BLESS, AND WISHING YOU A RELAXED WEEKEND.
