The Quixtar Revolution
By QBlog in
Found this out-of-print book on sale at Amazon.com. Seems to be a very inspiring look at the Quixtar business and the success it has achieved in a short time. Odd that it's out of print but maybe the Quixtar faithful didn't really need to read the book because they already know all the details. Here's a couple of reviews of the book on Amazon:
Pro-Quixtar bias so what! The book is well done, I couldn't put it down. Lets see, the most successful launch in Internet history, assumed a dominant position in just a 1 1/2 years. 518 million dollars the 1st year and on track to do well over a billion the 2nd year. 1/3 of that is paid to the Independant Business Owners. Currently ranked 7th in volume, 3rd in customer satisfaction and 1st in repeat sales! Quixtar is breaking all the records on the way to # 1. The numbers speak for themselves.
And then there's this review:
I was in Amway for five years and I showed "the plan" almost every week and barely reached 1000PV when my upline encouraged me to buy the remaining 200PV to reach my goal. Although the books and tapes Amway pushes are very motivational and really helped me with my marriage and career, we spent THOUSANDS of dollars on seminars, books & tapes and we never made a dime. What you will not be told is that the possibilities of income are inflated and in fact most of the money is made from the books, tapes & seminars that you "INVEST" in. I spent around $500 a month for five years ($30,000 total) and we were encouraged to do ANYTHING to invest in our business. Quixtar is only Amway repackaged.
I see I can buy it used for $1.99. I wonder if Quixtar can beat that price?
Comments
I faxed in my resignation to Quixtar a few weeks ago I joined Passport. Check it out. Good products, reasonably priced. No STO. you get two websites when you sign up along with $50 worth of product and some material to share the business. $15 annual fee(which has been waved so far).
There is lot more to building a Quixtar business than just showing the plan. The fact is I could have thousands of points in volume flowing through me but unless its structured correctly then it isn't very proffitable. Two huge legs aren't enough to make a person financially independent. However six smaller legs, each producing a minimum volume of points to qualify as platinum, will put a person over the top. Also I'm assuming that a large portion of the $500 a month spent by the author was for products and services that, while he may no longer be getting from Quixtar, he is still getting nevertheless. Furthermore I don't begrudge BWW a thing for making money on the tapes it distibutes. After all, I'd pay $10 to hear what Larry Winters or Paul Miller has to say about building a business any day of the week.
