QNet franchise moves court against ban #QNet #CafeCoffeeDay #VihaanDirectSelling #MLMScam
Almost 2 months after the Mumbai authorities ordered cafe Cafe Coffee Day (CCD) to close doors to representatives of Hong Kong-based MLM company QNet. Now one of its franchises has actually challenged the restriction in the Karnataka high court.
Vihaan Direct Selling (India) Pvt Ltd has moved the Karnataka high court challenging the ban imposed by the Mumbai police,” special prosecutor Pradeep Gharat said. Vihaan, in its petition, has said their legal and constitutional rights were violated because of the ban. “We will be filing a detailed reply in the Karnataka high court stating that the Mumbai police has not restricted any individual from entering the coffee shop. However, the ban is only for taking part in business activities and indulging in any further criminal activities,” said Mr Gharat.

It can be difficult to keep people loyal in direct sales since in this industry, people tend to always be looking for the “next big thing.” However there is a lot that can be done to keep a direct sales force not only loyal, but also motivated and consistently hungry to succeed.
