They set the level at 10% in thier rulings. Why aren't they looking into the real numbers? <BR/><BR/>Why doesn't Quixtar enforce their own rules of 50bv or $100 in sales to customers each month?<BR/><BR/>C'mon Q! A SELF-REPORTING click a box! THAT is not enforcement and it's been going on for several years now.<BR/><BR/>Do they really think the FTC will be fooled?<BR/><BR/>btw, check out a blog called saveusdickdevos.blogspot.com.

The California lawsuit eventually goes to court, but not in time to save the Michigan senatorial race from going down in flames.<BR/>2. The Federal court ruling goes in favor of TEAM but is challenged by Quixtar, which ties up another 9-15 months in courts.<BR/>3. Members of TEAM don't wait for the dust to settle. They no longer accept the QUixtar Rules of Business as being valid & set up a sucessful competative, fairly priced direct sales organization which is managed by a revolving board of Diamond IBO's.<BR/>4. Many of the products in the QUixtar inventory, which are independantly manufactured, start to appear with a different Brand Name in the TEAM system. (Does anyone actually think a manufacturer is going to continue to tie his fortunes to a sinking ship?)<BR/>5. The average +/- 300PV IBO suddenly starts to become more prosperous with the market advantage he has with competatively priced products & a loyalty based business model.<BR/>6. Just like the 1776 American Revolution, this revolution will grow as more IBO groups abandon Quixtar to join TEAM.<BR/><BR/>From an observer's stand-point, this certainly seems truely like "The American Way".North of 49https://www.blogger.com/profile/17608301822512311027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199378812312362684.post-17213752712570973592007-08-31T18:09:00.000-07:002007-08-31T18:09:00.000-07:00Refering to the sentence "Each IBO sets his own go...Refering to the sentence "Each IBO sets his own goals and decides how much time and effort to invest". From what I have seen of the new rules that go into effect on Sept. 1st all new IBO's must have 50pv of documented retail sales 3 of their first 4 months. That sounds like sales quota's to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199378812312362684.post-31236428762076613442007-08-31T17:50:00.000-07:002007-08-31T17:50:00.000-07:001.

An IBO who sponsors other IBOs earns income based on his own sales and on sales made by the IBOs he sponsors. Quixtar has various rules to assure that compensation is based on product sales. </I><BR/><BR/>This is the one I think they are having a problem with. How many sales are actual non-IBO sales? I heard about 3%. Even if it is double, or triple, that it is still a buying club that you make money off your friends buying really high priced items.<BR/><BR/>I tell you what. I will sell $90 paper clips, and have a sales plan similar to Quixtar. Since no one except those hoping to make money will buy the paper clips, that makes it a pyramid. I know this example is exaggerated, but it makes it much more apparent. (Plus I keep $30 for every paper clip instead of the DeVos and VanAndel families).Tom Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14467426732510272679noreply@blogger.com
