Hi, everybody; this is a message about a situation you may find yourself in from time to time: running into an independent business owner (IBO) from another line of sponsorship. You may not think anything of it when it happens, and you may want to have a friendly chat with the IBO about their experiences in the business, but these kinds of meetings are actually a bit more complicated than that.

Did you know that the rules of conduct prohibit IBOs from soliciting, interfering with, or attempting to suggest – directly or indirectly – that another IBO switch to another sponsor or line of sponsorship? That's right, if somebody is already registered as an IBO, they are not fair game to sign with you. If it even appears that you have tried to entice them to your business, their upline may take up the issue with the rules department. So to ensure that there's not even the appearance of such behavior, it's a good idea to not talk to IBOs from other line of sponsorships about how their business is going. And, of course, don't discuss with them how you're doing with your business.

Simply recognize that the other IBO probably has similar goals and aspirations as you and is working hard just like you, but happens to be doing it in a different line of sponsorship. Be glad that they're out there spreading the word about what a great business this is, wish them well, and move on.
