I came across the name Quixtar just a couple of days ago and thought something just didn't seem to make sense to me. I had planned to look into it more later that day but got sidetracked. Then yesterday I recieved an email from someone letting me know this would be a great company to add to this blog and they were even nice enough to give me a starting point.
There was recently a whole investigation into this company. It is a company much like Amway, you sign up to sell their products and make commissions and you can also recruit others onto your team and make money from their sales as well. There are lots of people who will testify they are making a lot of money every year with this company. According to the investigation one of the recruiters said it was possible to make a quarter of a million dollars a year with only an investment of around 15 hours a week! Well I would love to sign up to make that kind of money!
As the investigation continued the reporters were heavily encouraged to go to seminars and read a lot of motivational materials. The motivational books and tapes were all available through Quixtar distributors.
This is where I think I should let you read the investigative report itself. It was very well done and extremely insightful. If you are even thinking a little bit about joining Quixtar you absolutely must read this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4375477/

Thanks for giving us a different viewpoint Beverly! You are right in believing that you and you are alone are responsible for your success. That applies to anything we do and is very important when you are running your own business. I think the thing that bothered me most in the investigation was the pushing of motivational tools. You do need to be motivated and I have no problem with that. You would think though that since the motivational tools are so beneficial to the owners of the companies that they could offer a library where reps could borrow them or set up an online system for everyone to use them instead of selling them. I really was very surprised that the most successful people in the business were the ones selling the motivational materials. This might all just be a temporary black mark on the company and hopefully they can turn it around so everyone can see the company in a good light.
