Jacob and Mary,
I am sorry for the situation you find yourself in, Jacob. The policies and procedures, which you stated you read before you validated your application, or if not were prominently a part of your Business Development System training, explain clearly what we can and cannot do. They specifically protect all of us from hurting each other's business and are therefore very appropriate. They are only a few pages long, so I suggest you read them again. You will find they are not as restictive as you imply.
Since Usana provides a website on which you can sell usana products and even have people enroll as associates or preferred customers, I am not sure why you would need to spend a great deal on another one.
Further, one of the strengths of Usana is our ability to stay out of the "fulfillment" business. That is, we carry NO inventory. Everything is shipped directly from Usana to our customers. So why on earth do you have stock??? And if you do, return it!! We have a return policy that is very generous.
Further, spending bundles on DVD's etc? What's that? Did you review your eBDS each month as you were trained to do? That training system was a whopping $20 and provides comprehensive training. You need nothing else.
Mary, the "people I know" approach is essentially hearsay and on the surface cannot be taken as fact. Usana NEVER takes the kind of action you have described without discussion with our Independent Distributor Council made up of other Usana Associates. On the rare occasion that a distributorship is lost, everyone involved knows EXACTLY why and has had a chance to fix it. You have incomplete information which is therefore misleading others.
Jacob, Mary, Usana is the greatest opportunity on the face of the earth for the common person to make an independent income that most only dream about. You can never say, truthfully, that IT didn't work. IT works. The 10's of thousands making incomes from Usana and other network marketing companies proves that. So if you are in Usana, call your upline, get some guidance and get to work. If you are not in yet, find someone who is in and working and get in, listen up, get to work and someday soon you will say "wow, that was worth the effort."
