Quixtar BlogInformation, Perceptions and Discussion about QuixtarTypical Prospecting Story- February 28, 2008 I found an interesting post on a forum where an individual talks about getting prospected at a car show by an IBO. Sadly the way he describes the story happens more often then it should and is the primary reason IBOs have a bad stereotype attached to them. Recently I was at the Philly Auto Show admiring the new Challenger and a guy started talking to me about how what I do and where i'm from yada yada yada. Anyway he tells me he has a business and he is looking to do business down my way with...http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/typical_prospecting_story.php Fred Harteis Resigns from Quixtar.- February 22, 2008 Over on Fred Harteis's blog Fred has posted his explanation of his resignation from Quixtar. I found this to be the most interesting part of his post: "As an IBO I have entered into many discussions concerning issues I have had with Quixtar i.e.: product pricing, the IBO compensation plan, negative on the web." Negative on the web Now I know Fred didn't specify exactly, but most of the negative on the web is due to abusive practices by motivational organization leaders. I wonder how...http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/fred_harteis_resigns_from_quixtar.php Wal-Mart and Amway Quixtar- February 18, 2008 When I was in Quixtar I remember many times references to Wal-Mart being used. During an open meeting the speaker would tell the prospects that instead of spending their money at Wal-Mart they could buy from their own company and make money. IBOs tell people that Wal-Mart never gave them a check for shopping there like they get from their own business. Wal-Mart this and Wal-Mart that. Pretty much every time a reference to a traditional business was used it was Wal-Mart. So when I saw an article.http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/walmart_and_amway_quixtar.php More on the Amway Arbitration case- February 11, 2008 As expected the reversal of the arbitration ruling in the Morrison case has made it's rounds and now the IBOAI, Alticor, and even others are putting their two cents in. Of course most of what is being said I don't think is even addressing the issues. To me it looks like more damage control then anything. At any rate there are apparently some things that the IBOAI want you to know. 1. The decision in this case could be changed in future court proceedings. (Much like how the earlier decision in...http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/more_on_the_amway_arbitration_case.php Court rules against Amway Arbitration- February 9, 2008 The Fifth Circuit US Court of Appeals has ruled against AmwayQuixtar in the Morrison case regarding the arbitration decision. From what I gather Morrison lost against Amway in arbitration (no surprise there) then objected to the arbitration when Amway went back to federal district court to get a judgement on the arbitration decision. The district court decided in Amway's favor, and Morrison appealed the ruling. The case ended up with the US Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit and the district courts.http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/court_rules_against_amway_arbitration.php New Event Rule posted- February 4, 2008 Over at the Ada-Tudes blog there has been a post about Quixtar's new rule which will allow sales of products at events. Of course as with just about everything in Amway or Quixtar there are restrictions. Here is what was posted as the "pending" rule for event sales: 4.3.3 Event Sales: The display and sale of health, beauty and sports nutrition products by IBOs only at temporary (no more than 10 days) health and beauty shows and certain kinds of sporting events (e.g.: bike race,...http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2008/02/new_event_rule_posted.php |
