I know a few months ago 4life was trying to get everyone to go through the deal where we were only going to try to have all shopping carts go to their sites because a few bad apples ruining the market by trying to get volume and underselling small distributors but I know alot of people along with myself voiced opinions and emails to corporate mentioning that it would take away our independent marketing status saying we could not market the product on the net and if we did only through there affiliate cart. I know I have myself caught a few times where they did not put credit for orders under me and I had to address them on it and get them put right. By us sending our customers there (my4life site)we run a risk of affiliate software at all times. That is why people get websites so they can control the things that happen and how people are tracked.
I know I have had the my4life site up for 2 years and only acquired 2 orders from it where I have done my own sites the same and have acquired a 1200+ man downline off of it. So we can see there the effective ness of this.
I feel we are no longer independent distributors if we can not market the product our own way as long as it is in boundaries and legal and again not saying or referring to prevent,treat and cure.
Of course you will always have sour apples in a bunch and that is who 4Life should be targetting and doing something to, not the thousands that are perfectly legal. The my4life site is not too user friendle at all. 1 thing do you notice at the sign in page it asks for customers to put in their last four digits and then distributors to put in the social security number last four. People remember the last thing they see which is the SSN:. I have had many customers call me hot asking why they need the SSN there and refused to place a order there. I wonder how many do not call and just find another means of placing a order.
Anyway I could go on forever about this becaue I grow 99% of my 4life business and income on the net but I do not want to bore anyone if I have already, I am Sorry. I feel if enough peoplevoice their opinion about this to 4life corporate they may decide to police the violators and not the ones doing right.
Again I feel this will violate Independent Distributorship ways. I personally do not know of any thing that is not allowed to be sol by one one the net and if this haopened it would truly be the first I know. Sure it could be sold but not by any individual, only by 4life corporate and I feel this would truly by WRONG!!!!
If they sell under price and ruin the market. Ban the Site Maybe!!!
If they misrepresent the product or 4life where the FDA could come in ban them or cut the distributor out.
Just as much time as it takes to get all the carts and stuff dealing with the products off the net, it will take 10X more time to keep people off!!! Would'nt you agree?
Most of all I feel it will devastate alot of our businesses that are growing!!!
Highest Regards,
