Would you be interested in a business that cost $595.00 to join and promises that you can make millions as a IBO, Independent Business Owner?



Most people would jump at the chance to join such a business.

Now how would you feel if this company that cost $595.00 to join and charges you to attend meetings to teach you how to make more money actually shows in their printed business material that the average business owner make around $1,400.00, gross, per year. Heck I can make more that that by picking up beer and soda cans and recycling them for cash.

I don't know about you but speaking for myself I would be very upset.

Maybe it's because I was raised to be honest when dealing with people that when I find that I have been lied to I get mad as a wet hen and I expect most of you feel the same way.

In case you are wondering just what the name of this company, that seems to be lying to you to get to join up, it's Quixtar.

Now that you know the name of the company lets take a look at how it works.

Quixtar was founded in 1999 and is now run by the same company that owns Amway.

In North America you can only join Quixtar through the referral of an already established member known as an IBO, Independent Business Owner.

The way that Quixtar operates is that every IBO has access to selling Quixtar products through the Quixtar website.

As an IBO you are encouraged to purchase as many Quixtar products as you can and at the same time recruit more IBOs.

The way this works is that your referrer gets a percentage or a commission from the products you purchase from Quixtar. Likewise you will get a commission from the purchases of all your IBOs, the people you get to join.

According to Quixtar your commission percentage depends on your IBO level within the company. So, in theory, the more people you recruit the higher your level gets and the more commission you get.

There are several problems with this business model that your Quixtar rep doesnt tell you about.

Quixtar wants you to rely on one-on-one communication and word of mouth advertising. Quixtar even has severe limits on your freedom to advertise your website online, a resource that they will not let you use properly.

In this day of e-mail, drive through any things, and internet ready cell phones, who has the time to listen to you talk, for hours, about vitamins, or whatever youre trying to sell?

You would think they would want you to use every means of advertising you can come up with in order to increase your sales. But for some reason they continue to tie your hands when it comes to trying to sell the products. Its almost as if they dont want you to sell the products.

You also need to realize that your entire income depends on how much stuff the people in your down-line are going to purchase.

You also need to realize that your entire income depends on how much stuff the people in your down-line are going to purchase.

Since Quixtar products are priced right around retail your income from Quixter is not going to support you and your family unless you can convince your down-line people into buying all their goods from Quixtar.

Quixtar also likes to reassert its credibility by pointing out all the name brand companies that it's partnered with.

The thing is that large corporations don't care who is selling for them as long as they are moving product. Lets face it they are the ones making the money not you.

Another thing about Quixtar is the fact that you will be competing against every one of the other IBO that are trying to sell the same things you are for around the same price. Mainly because of the way they control and limit the way you can advertise the products you are trying to sell and the fact that commissions on the items you are selling are so small. I really don't think you are going to be able to make any real amount of money with Quixtar no matter what their sales pitch tries to tell you.

If you do try the Quixtar all I can do is wish you luck and shake my head as I walk away.
