For anyone wanting further information on Petlane, here's an e-mail clip that is sent out to prospective Pet Advisors.

I'm always available to answer questions, give consultations, or help you throw a pawty of your own!
...There are hundreds of direct sales opportunities out there, but like anything else, not all are created equal. Be wary of direct sales opportunities that are illegitimate- these will cause inevitable frustration as you spin your wheels while attempting to make a business for yourself. However, there are some exceptionally lucrative opportunities in direct sales that will afford you the lifestyle you deserve, giving you freedom and security even in the worst economies.
Let's look at the most lucrative and historically successful direct sales opportunities in America so that you can make an informed decision based on past performance, real business opportunity and the potential to realize your financial goals. The most important thing you can do for yourself is look at your financial obligations and set realistic goals to meet them. A financial plan is the foundation for anyone's financial success; proper preparation for your financial future is your responsibility. Nobody but you can forge your success!
One of the most respected and prolific direct sales opportunities is Mary Kay Inc. Mary Kay Inc. is one of the largest direct sales skin care and cosmetic companies in the world. Mary Kay boasts more than 1.7 million Independent Beauty Consultants worldwide. In 2006, sales crested $2.25 BILLION at the wholesale level. More than 200 Independent National Sales Directors in the U.S. have earned more than $1 million in gross commissions. Mary Kay Inc. is a legitimate opportunity to not only build a lucrative direct sales business- its legitimacy is as solid as they come. Mary Kay is one of only 20 company profiles in the 1996 book, Forbes Greatest Business Stories of All Time. Mary Kay Ash, the founder, is the only woman to be included. Mary Kay Ash has been designated as one of the greatest business leaders by PBS, Wharton School of Business, Baylor University and was elected to the Business Hall of Fame by Fortune in 1996. Many people who would not consider a career in direct sales to be "legitimate" are unaware of the size, strength and success of the industry overall. Before I joined Petlane, I was no exception to this rule!
Petlane, the opportunity you are considering, is a direct sales company focused on the $43 billion pet industry. Petlane is the creation of legendary entrepreneur Lane Nemeth who founded Discovery Toys in 1978 and grew it into a $100 million revenue-generating giant by 1997. In 2004 Lane Nemeth launched Petlane, having recognized the tremendous direct sales opportunities in the unsaturated pet products direct sales industry. There is virtually no competition in the pet industry with regards to direct sales, making Petlane one of the rising stars on the horizon.
