Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Receiving payment for exclusive promotion of a product in class is an example of a GFI breaching applicable laws. It is important for the GFI to disclose any sponsorship, promotional or other business relationships with product retailers or manufacturers. The class participant has the right to assume that their instructor's recommendations are based on nothing more than the product's caliber. Additionally, indiscriminate product endorsement, even when properly disclosed, can dilute the value of your brand, the club's brand, and the industry-at-large.
