Severe Learning Disability
By QBlog in
Below is an example of just some of the email I get from gung-ho IBOs. My responses are indented. I did not send these responses to the author, instead I sent a simple message asking if he was serious in his comments. I received no reply which is quite common when I respond to criticisms of me and this blog. Very few IBOs seem to want to start a dialogue, they prefer to just rant and run. Parts of the message were removed for brevity.

Dude, did you even DO the math on the SA4400? Do you have a Servere Learning
Disability in math if you did?
It's WORKING FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well bully for you and as a matter of fact I do have a severe learning disability in math. What about it?
You need to focus away from the idiots who don't understand how this business model works (INCLUDING YOURSELF) and check out the World Wide Dream Builders group! Even though our statistics are included in Quixtar's as a whole, their individual stats are blowing every other group in it AWAY!!!!
Well, maybe you should talk to the folks at Team of Destiny because they're saying the same thing about TOD.
...You seem to be the typical journalist, get half the facts and "boldly go where no liar has gon before!" Did you miss the check button where one can choose NOT to buy the products? It isn't "manditory" to buy them!
I blame this on my severe learning disability but you lost me right here.
Most of the sites you see suck because they AREN'T DONE BY QUIXTAR. GET THE
FACTS STRAIGHT, DUFUS! The sites you have seen are done by ignorant, and goofy,
INDIVIDUALS who don't understand that they DON'T HAVE TO WEB PAGE AN INCREDIBLY
ENGINEERED WEB SITE; you should be smart enough to recognize that "the
main dish" doesn't need a "main dish!"
What other site can you go to that doesn't sell POP UP ADS?
Wha? Is it just me or is this guy making no sense?
...The FACT is that only 12% of ANYONE GETTING INVOLVED IN ANY BUSINESS DOES ANYTHING WITH THEIR "KIT!!!" FROM BUYING A CARLTON SHEETS PROGRAM TO ANYTHING ELSE. You SHOULD be intelligent enough to recognize that there is a principle in any arena of achievement that there is the 2% rule. Check out the Social Security Admiistrations stats on people retiring: 2% have all the money they need at age 65 and NINTY-EIGHT PERCENT have to get help from family and charities after retirement.
Well, at least I do a good job of spelling and I don't type in all-caps... much. That's worth something right?
If you love your wife, drop your ego and get the facts! You aren't even close with ANY of your statements from first to last! Don't you believe in ACCURATELY REPORTING? You seem like you are too lazy to do the footwork to get the stats from INDEPENDENT SOURCES WHO MEASURE AND REPORT INTERNET COMPANIES!
Well, I guess I am lazy and it looks like you've already done this research so why not send me the information from independent sources. I'd love to see it.

You think?!!
Retail? At those prices?
Trying to retail Quixtar products is a big challenge for anyone, let alone someone who is stuck in an AMO where they believe "selling isn't duplicatable."
Quixtar products are not really competitive with the products people tend to buy. The quality is usually decent, but the prices are whacked and it isn't convenient.
Super WalMart is the juggernaut.
Just my 2 cents...and I happened to be an IBO who hit 2500 PV just on retail. I would have loved to have seen what I could have done if the prices were competitive.
Interesting...an IBO who hit 2500 on retail alone. That means you made at least 1k a month on your bonus with no mark up on retail. How long was it taking you to service 2500 PV in retail? Did you sell to people at wholesale prices or did you sell at retail? This is very interesting to me. Based on the Quixtar core items, selling at retail means that you made close to 3k a month with mark up and bonus. Not bad, why did you quit?
Sophia -
I sold vacation packages to businesses. I moved over 69 packages while I was in the business. 30 in one month (3000 PV). I charged ABOVE retail (just as I was taught in the tools I bought...the one tool purchase that ever paid for itself :-). The BV on vacations is very low, so my best Quixtar check was only around $550. My commissions totaled almost $5500.
I quit because it wasn't worth the time and energy. The business I was shown really didn't exist and I couldn't accept the idea of myself succeeding at the expense of 95% of the people I brought or helped bring into the business. I sold enough vacations to make my 2 year venture in Quixtar break even and then decided I was done.
If Quixtar is still interesting to you, talk to Bo Short sometime. If diamonds are willing to walk away from "this great opportunity" after they've "succeeded"...why should I waste my time?
Ouch - that was painful to read. Even if this guy is correct about some of the things he is stating, does he really believe that he is going to win people over by throwing around insults? He is right that the sales and marketing plan does work, however only if you do retail. I would want to know about his retail business before I heard any other info from him stating that the numbers are working for him. Just one woman's perspective.
