The new Amway.. anyone hear of Quixtar? (small business, investment, advertising)

OMG, Quixstar! Run! Run as fast as you can! Its just another scam!

[Stone28]

I have known several people who got sucked in. All of them ended up not making any money and with a bunch of useless products piled up in there basements. From the people I knew personally they all wanted something out of reach. One wanted a $300,000.00 dollar boat. The other one wanted an expensive second home. I dont really feel bad for either one of them they were both established people. I do however feel bad for the young people who waste there time and energy on this scam.

Quixstar makes it money from the "motivational" tapes and seminars they want the prospective "diamonds" to buy. A diamond is someone high up on the pyramid.

For all who seek and turn up empty. For all who search but find nothing. Keep looking because your dreams can not be bought. You are a winner, don't let anyone tell you so. Who ever believes that this is a get rich quick and never sell a thing business has already quit the business and if you think this please i beg you don't even get into business or don't start. 95% fail not because they messed up because they quit, the other 5% they just could not make it. This business is not for everyone. If you have a dream and a will to fight. If you have a will to grow. If you have a will to be financial independent and debt free take a closer look at this business and stop taking advise from the people who are not in this business and from all the ones who quit. Do you get advice about baseball from tiger woods no. You have to work hard to make it in this business but people quit on the first sign of adversity. All I have to say is those people are baby's. Put your thumbs in your mouth and go work for someone your whole life. I have seen with my two eyes and met the leaders of this business. Young people 20 and up retiring from a job. I met and shook their hands. I met the men and woman who have worked hardcore to make it where they are today. I shook the hands of many who have went through sweat and blood to build there business. You will always have the good and the bad in any large corporation. Dell, Starbucks, and so on get so many negatively e-mails about them but you still buy there over priced Coffey, that's because there big. If you are thinking of getting into the network marketing industry don't stop doing your studying. But I have to say quixtar is real more real then you and I. This business has been around maybe longer them you have. They have over 1,000 partner stores, who have creditable names like circuit city, Barnes & nobles, disney store, avis car rental, dell, pro bass shop.I mean the list keeps going. For a business being a scam, they sure have a lot of credibal names that are powerd by quixtar. I am sure if it was a scam these big name stores would not be advertised on there site, they have enough lawars to tell them not to. Quixtar will be changing its name to Amway Global because we are now in 70 different countrys Quixtar is backed by the better business bureauThis company has been in business since 09/01/1999 This company became a Better Business Bureau member on 11/24/1999 This company was approved for BBBOnLine's trustmark on 10/28/2002 Quixtar is approved by the Federal trade commission as a great business model which was created by a Harvard student. If you want resource don't go to goggle to find it or to people who quit the business. Go straight to the source. If anyone truly wants real credible information I don't care to sign you up i just want to set people straight so they understand whether this is for them or not. But that's what everyone makes it seem like. Signing people up does nothing you must become a mentor and help them build there business but also work to build yours. You have to earn the money in this business if you cheat the system you will pay the price trust me I have seen it happen. You want real news I will give it to you. There is so much you guys don't know about my business and the many business that are powered by quixtar. I am sure some smart alkie is going to find something negative to dig up about this post, do I care no because I already know what I hold in my hand the best compensation plan out there. WORK is key in this business to make anything happen. If you want to know about all the myth busters, all the misunderstanding, all the bull crap that people who don't know the business feel free to ask. I will answer anything you want the best I can. Though if I feel the conversation is not productive or negative I will not answer. Come at me with an open mind and an open heart and I will help you the best I can my e-mail address jacob9480@aol.com Well God bless and hope everyone who has an open mind enjoys this post.

tricking friends and family into "working" for you is not my idea of "work"

[jacob9480]

No one forces, tricks, makes you buy CDs, Makes you buy products, all that stuff is optional but if you choice to do this for the long run and grow you just have to duplicate what others have done in this business to make it. Come to my house I don't have nothing in basement, I have a few boxes in my car that I sample out to people doing everyday life things. I brush my teeth in the morning and take a shower with shampoo and sope. All my products I use are from my business and I am proud of them. I enjoy using are line of products. You choice freely to enter this business to build and grow. You will be helped by some of the greats people that you will ever meet. I am a witness to it. In any large corporation that is good and for every corporation that have people working by the book and making money there are people who do the opposite by cutting corners and not doing things by the book. What do you think people see the most negative? things?What does the news feel makes stores negative? I mean look at the government you have the good and the bad, look at the 12 disciples peter denied Jesus 3 times and Judas betrayed him as well big corporation will always have bad apples and this company has been going on for 32 years and they did not Chang the name from amway to quixtar both work out of altcore amyway is still going strong in many different country just not in Michigan. To many people to may bad apples destroyed the name. I mean there is nothing really to say because a person is going to believe what they want to believe but until they drop the walls down and take a closer look at it they will never see it for what it is. The business is here and will always be here whether you want it or not or whether you choice to get on bored or not the bus will keep moving and once its out of reach that's it. Any ways it was a pleaser talking to you all bye now.

Reminds me of hearing a motivational cassette tape a long time ago.

[sunsprit]

The only thing missing in all that raving was the inspirational/motivational lecture & discussion of how we all could be living the "good life" like the guys at the top of the MLM pyramid. You just have to believe and visualize how wonderful life could be if you were no longer "trading time for dollars" like the unwashed working stiffs .....

I personally know two folks who have retired from Amway's MLM, with their big houses and jet aircraft and multiple homes in high dollar resorts. They did hit the "big money", and were showcased in many of their downline's recruiting meetings.

But I also personally know dozens who got into the "business" and never made any real money, even though they put lots of time into it, use all the products and services (at significantly higher cost than comparable products through regular retail channels), devoutly believe that the company is wonderful, and have a large enough downline to have qualified for "diamond" or "emerald" with all kinds of additional levels of recognition. They've dragged me out to dinner many times with a goal of recruiting me and to attend their regional meetings. So much manufactured "excitement" when so-and-so is coming to town to visit with them about the "business" .... 99% of the "information" was all about how we, too, could each have the same "good life" income as those fellows and their wives, and how good it felt to be so affluent. Nobody ever talked about what actual work product was required to achieve the recognition and the income ... it was all left to a vague image of recruiting downline that would all order a certain minimum dollar amount of products each month.

I looked at the minimum "plan" dollar amount each month that everbody was trying to get me to sign up for, and it was many times in excess of the products I consumed each month. The only "savings" I could accomplish was to see how much excess I'd have to store in my basement each month as the surplus accumulated. I calculated I'd need to move into a bigger house or rent storage space within a few years ....

IMO, I'd have felt better if I'd just sent folding money to Reverend Ike. At least he had a more uplifting pitch about how good it felt to have all that money. My bet, however, is he got his sales training at Amway meetings ... they're that good for the true believers.

[nic529]

I signed up for Quixtar a few years ago.....went to the convention ...did the weekly meetings...tried to tell all my friends they'd get such a better deal......bought all the taples and hung the pictures on my fridge......Its a load of crap.....I spent the money.....I did what they said....I bought from "my own business"...in the end...I was making them more rich because I kept buying stuff...no one else did!

These people have a way of making this thing sound so great! Almost like "Duh, why wouldnt you" DONT FALL FOR IT

Recently I re-established a broken friendship from years ago. This "business" was the very reason why our relationship went sour. The friend tried for years to get me on-board. It got to the point I just avoided her and our friendship ended with me telling her to "get lost". I felt bad, but I was not the first nor last person she alienated.

Our reconnection started with an apology letter from her. I won't go into everything she went through (I probably know very little myself) - but I believe this "business" nearly destroyed her. I doubt we become "BFF" - we never were. I do appreciate the fact she made an attempt to say "I'm sorry" - which takes a heck of alot of guts IMO.

I hope, with our economy the way it is, that this "business" dosn't sucker in another generation of members.

There will always be cults that the weak minded will get sucked into.
