Quixtar Recruiting Tip
By QBlog in
Much can be learned by the mistakes of others. Quixtar IBOs make a lot of mistakes when trying to recruit new IBOs and hopefully some will learn from the following example described on the Filtering Craig blog:
Last week, I had a phone call.What follows is "clyndall's" (the author of the blog post) rather humorous description of his meeting with the Quixtar IBOs. Read the entire post and the comments, there are some good lessons for you IBOs out there about what NOT to do when trying to get recruits.
Me: Hello?
Person: Hi is this Filtering Craig?
Me: Maybe. Who is calling?
Person: My name is so and so and I am looking for the Craig who went to Boston University I got your name from the Alumni Website.
Me: This is he.
Person: I also went to Boston University and I run an internet business that is just starting. We need people to help us get it off of the ground and I was wondering if you would be interested in something like this.
Me: Who is "we?"
Person: My Husband and I. Would you be interested?
Me: Possibly. What is this business all about?
Just a thought, I wonder if "clyndall" is on that Do Not Call registry? I wonder if the Quixtar IBO checked the list for "clyndall's" name before calling? Gee, I sure hope no laws were broken to set up the little Quixtar coffee shop rendezvous. There's another lesson, IBOs should never break the law when trying to recruit.
Now don't say I never help. This is good stuff here.
This has been a Quixtar service announcement from yours truly.
Comments
Thanks for the link. I am a he, first and foremost. Second of all, they used my college alumni directory to get my phone number. Frankly that is kind of offensive as well, but I guess these pyramid'er's don't really care.
What could YOU do with an extra 60,000 per year?
Hey, I went to BU.
Hopefully they have a lot of calls to make through the old directory before they get to 'porkchopjim.'
Quixtar class must have been at 8 a.m. I didn't make many of those.
U stupid quitter. U couldn't stabd building the business either cos u are too lazy to go and show the plan, or cos u are just a plain loser. The business aint no pyramid and i wonder that job u have not a pyramid. U make more than ur boss right? and there are as many CEOs in ur company as the foolish technicians like ur self right? keep that JOB (Jackass Of Boss) u have right. we need poor pple like urself in this world so it aint surprising me. keep ur stupid, u couch potato and happy 45 years of long stupid 8-5pm mon-sat. JACKASS
I have to admit I laughed till my eyes watered at what clyndall could do with an "extra $60,000 a year".
Instead of using "the Ben Franklin close" I may have to use the "coke off a hooker's ass" close, It could prove highly effective!
