In my opinion Quixtar, who started in 1999, is very similar to Amway.
In my experience with Quixtar, I felt their reps, their literature, and
especially their websites are too vague.
The two Quixtar reps I dealt with were extremely evasive when I asked hard questions. They seemed to have canned responses and not much to offer outside of these pitches. It seems to me that only the people at the highest levels of the quixtar
totem pole actually make enough money support a family. I even saw a
documentary on 60 minutes about quixtar that indicated most people in
Quixtar are not happy with their level of income.
The info I could get on Quixtar after exhaustive research from their reps
was this: Their rep told me that when
you send Quixtar your $100, you get something called an IBO number, which
stands for "Independent Buisiness Owner."
Well, independent is a funny word for them to use considering the
Quixtar rep I talked to told me about several restrictions that sounded like
Quixtar reps aren't very indepenent. Yes, Quixtar has restrictions. For instance, the rep told me I wouldn't be able to promote it or advertise
my quixtar website the way I wanted on the
Internet. He said I'd have to tell people about it
one-on-one to people I meet in person. He mentioned the "personal" touch
and how powerful it is. That may be true but I can reach thousands of
people on the net. This made me like quixtar even less than I already did. The rep sounded like he was telling me I could become wealthy just from
buying Quixtar's stuff. It sounded like I wouldn't have to sell anything.
Yah, he was basically telling me I could just buy the stuff I normally need
around the house any way. You know, toilet paper, toothpaste, soap, stuff
you use anyway. He then explained how I'd make a commission on all that
stuff I bought. I definitely don't like the concept of trying to support my
family from buying stuff. It just doesn't sound realistic to me. I've
heard other companies make similar pitches to me over the phone. Stuff like
"Hey, the more you spend, the more you make!"
But this Quixtar rep was quick to point out the fact that I could get
friends and family to sell under me and they could buy a bunch of stuff that
I would get a commission from. But even still, the commission seemed
incredibly small to me.
Here is my question to Quixtar?
Why would I purchase online? It is not more convenient for me to by this stuff at a local store in town than it is for me to buy this stuff
online through quixtar?
Plus, I don't have to pay shipping at the local store. There have been many
consumer surveys that show most customers prefer to touch, taste, see, feel
and smell products before they buy them.
The only time I buy online is when I'm getting a killer deal. In my humble
opinion, quixtar isn't giving me a killer deal.
As an internet marketer, the biggest problem I have with Quixtar is the fact
they seem to be saying that
they will restrict your ability to drive visitors/traffic to your quixtar
website. From what the Quixtar rep told me, the company has literally
hundreds of rules about how you're allowed to bring people to your website.
I don't like companies that tell me how to run my business. Mainly because
there's so many other companies that give you all the freedom you need.
Reality check here:
To me the prices at Quixtar look much higher than prices at retail stores. That's seems like a big problem for Quixtar.
Since I review business opportunities and internet gurus all day for a living, you can guess I know which ones work and which ones don't. Click here to see how I make my money.
