Monday Reader Mail: 79
By QBlog in Reader Mail
In light of recent meetings with WWDB leaders I thought it appropriate to publish a Reader Mail from someone claiming to have been involved with that organization.
name: Mr Gregg
date: May 24, 2006
message: I have a sad story. In the summer of 2005 I joined the WorldWide organization. In response to information my new employer shared with me. I invested only $70. I can only say that it was an educational expense.
All of what was shared to me, could be disproved with observant open mind. I disproved the claim WorldWide had no high priced celebrities. My opinion is: the emerald and diamond levels are internal celebrites, with their bonus money, publicity, and perks.
The prices seemed to be quite unreasonable, why would a person pay $10 for something that sells for $6 locally, but if your lucky get $1 back at the end of the month. Big business practise, use someone else's money not their own.
I then went out and interviewed persons employed at businesses that are partner stores, and also checked the on-line pricing compared to the price if you just walked in theier store. In many experiences the prices were higher on-line as compared to walking in the store. The sales people were also affected, if they are paid base salary and comission. They would either not recieve this comission or a smaller amount. One stored informed me, their profit margine is lower for on-line products. Doesn't this hurt an independant business owner? Dont they have expenses?
My tail ends when I did not renew membership January 2006, and my employer was informed by WorldWide. There seemed to be a negative influence on the work environment.
"It was said many times to me that I did not know the plan, or I didn't want to work hard." Suddenly, I was told, my attitude change and it was shown in my "posture".
Well as you can tell I was fired, and my employer claims I quit. Now I am forced goto trial to get unemployment benefits. From what I have read I maybe one of the lucky ones.
I don't know if Mr Gregg's tale is true but he certainly has the grammar skills of a fired up IBO. I'm kidding!
Comments
My theory about your reader's testimonial is that he writes less than perfectly because he might be an immigrant to this country. (I have a German friend who has been here for at least fifteen years, is very intelligent, and yet, she still has trouble with written English forms. Hey, it's a hard language!) If your reader was born elsewhere,it would explain why his "employer," who pressured him into the biz to begin with, saw fit to fire him so freely and easily. After all, there are plenty of other immigrants to exploit, right? Especially if you are trying to sell them an "American Dream." Let's hope they are as sharp and honorable as your reader, and get out without losing much money or faith. Good luck to Mr. Gregg in finding justice.
is this person claiming to have been fired from their primary employer because they unregistered as a quixtar ibo?
more than a little hard to believe....

quiksilver723> why is it so hard to believe? Sometimes people can get fired for certain things like that. It's not right and illegal but it still can happen. I'm not in the business of calling someone a liar unless I have proof. You unfortunately have no proof so there's no way for you to be able to tell if he's lying or not. Sometimes all we have to go on with this business are the stories we hear from former and current IBO's.
I can definately beleive this story.
The ibos that I know can be very vicious (especially when I comes to protecting their business) and they do it all with a smile on their face.
Fired from job, just like some diamonds got the boot from quixtar?
Is he referring to WWDB & Quixtar as his "employers"? Am I interpreting that correctly? If so, that was his first mistake.
Yeah, he writes horribly. You can't understand much of what he's trying to say.
I go by my own experiences and I have experienced positive feedback about prices from at least 20-30 people in the couple of years we've been involved. So, there ya go. I have also experienced a significant savings of time & money. Just like anywhere you shop, you have to shop SMART!
Interesting post.
