		<description>&lt;p&gt;I left Passport a while back.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having heard &quot;It&#039;s Called Practice&quot; (I even heard it set to music :), I would find it interesting to listen to a new &quot;contacting&quot; training session by Bo.  I wonder what differences you&#039;d notice between the Amway version done years earlier and the Passport version.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I guess I don&#039;t really see a problem with offering people a free training on contacting, when you need to do it to sell your products and your business plan.  Maybe I&#039;ve been brainwashed too much, and it&#039;s shrunk or something.  :)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;The Bank was Usbank and the Hotel chain was the Hampton Inn and Suites.&lt;br /&gt;
Heck Usbank flew me to vegas for a week for a big hyped up shin dig...&lt;br /&gt;
And we met every thursday for a conference call with different specialist in our field (oh sounds firmiliar)???&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; Also got together once a month with all the managers over a day long local training..&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;&quot;I even clearly laid out what the proof should be.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What law(s) are you referring to?&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Let me give you some assistance here.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The tactic of changing the topic by only responding to a side issue isn&#039;t going to work guys.  You say you do it legally and ethically, I&#039;ve asked for proof at least three times now.  I even clearly laid out what the proof should be.  And yet the simple questions remain unanswered . . . &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; . . . chirp . . .  chirp  . . . chirp . . .   &lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;You do it legally and ethically?  Okay, then you shouldn&#039;t have any trouble answering these simple questions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What safeguards are in place at Passport to ensure that bonuses are primarily paid on retail sales to customers? Do these safeguards, whatever they are, actually serve in fact to tie the compensation primarily to retail sales? If so, how do you know? I gather from your previous response that nobody has studied that yet.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Lawdawg,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So you are now saying that people don&#039;t need sales training or weekly sales meetings?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You want us to be a sales business, but then you don&#039;t want us to help train our sales people. That makes perfect sense.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Passport brings in an outside speaker each month, thus far, none have been motivational. These speakers are MLM Trainers, Sales Trainers, Financial Trainers, goal setting and life coaches, etc. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are a sales driven home based business, but we find our sales people via Network Marketing. You don&#039;t have to like it, but the truth is we do it legally and ethically.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;How many seminars?  How often?  Which hotels and which banks?  Who put on the seminars?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Excuse me . . . but I seriously doubt that any bank sends its employees to several motivational seminars each year.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Quote &quot;Why do you need all this motivation, anyway? Last I heard, businessmen are motivated by enjoying their work and profits. Don&#039;t know of ANY business owners (outside of MLM) who need WEEKLY training seminars to run a business selling consumable products.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
EXCUSE ME!!!! &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt; I have worked for many hotels, and have managed Banks, and every place I worked I was sent (by my employer) to seminars to learn about business, and most of it was motivational.&lt;br /&gt;
This is just not true....&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;And as far as data on self-consumption being the only criteria, that&#039;s based on the legal authorities. The presumption is that a scheme using an MLM comp plan is a fraud, unless the company demonstrates that the income in the scheme is primarily from retail sales.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since the presence of safeguards that in fact tie compensation primarily to retail sales is the one thing that makes an MLM not a pyarmid scheme, it seems to me that you should be prepared to answer my questions.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ve offered you a lot of suggestions to make network marketing better over the last year or two.  Your approach now is that if I disagree with you just label me rather than answer my questions.  I&#039;m a &quot;zealot&quot; or I have an &quot;agenda.&quot;  If you think that&#039;s some sort of dialogue, you are sadly mistaken.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are my questions again:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What safeguards are in place at Passport to ensure that bonuses are primarily paid on retail sales to customers? Do these safeguards, whatever they are, actually serve in fact to tie the compensation primarily to retail sales? If so, how do you know? I gather from your previous response that nobody has studied that yet.&lt;/p&gt;
