After a tremendous last minute push to qualify by determined Associates, Talk Fusion has extended the qualification period for its Dream Getaway vacation incentive by another week to May 10, 2015.

Avon Having Trouble Getting Rid Of North American Business, Sales Plummet
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Avon shares slid by more than 7% on Tuesday to around $7.53 a share.
Last month, the stock surged by more than 15% after the Wall Street Journal reported that it is exploring “strategic alternatives” for its North American business, meaning the company is looking for ways to improve its competitiveness.
The initial report from WSJ said the company is looking to sell some or all of this unit. But according to a New York Post story published late Tuesday, this process isn’t going very well.
The Post reported that companies interested in buying out Avon are losing interest because they are struggling to finance an offer.
The Post quotes one hedge fund investor as saying: “All in all, I don’t see a deal happening unless Avon basically gives away its North America business for essentially nothing.”
Avon also reported weak first-quarter results last

In a recent pyramid scheme lawsuit that Herbalife Ltd. agreed to settle, few distributors who received notice of the US $17.5 million agreement filed claims to recuperate their losses and obtain product refunds.
Although notices were sent to more than 1.5 million individuals, fewer than 7,300 claims were filed, court records showed. The average claimant who meets certain criteria will receive roughly $1,100 from a $15-million cash settlement fund, according to court documents filed this month.
The claims rate of 0.47 percent “is a clear red flag that the class notice program was inadequate and unfair,” Douglas Brooks, a Massachusetts-based lawyer who represented 18 distributors objecting to the settlement, wrote in April 20 court papers.
Herbalife’s outside legal team on Monday countered that the majority of class members who declined to file a claim “confirmed the integrity of
