Justin Serra is the General Manager of North America and serves on the global executive team for Modere.
Justin:
“While no one can debate that the USA network marketing industry is changing, the debate continues on about what the changes will bring.
Given the size of the industry only a very small fraction of companies have been directly affected by regulators, yet many companies are nervous it could be just the beginning. Based on the precedence recent actions have set, the industry, as a whole, may have serious reason to be nervous.
Given the respected and well run companies that have been recent targets of the FTC, company owners and field leaders know it’s just a game of Russian Roulette to who could be next.
