Why so much negativity?

Quixtar business model has gone bad and bound to generate negativity. It is like a vaccum cleaner. It sucks and blows at the same time. It is not Quixtar hating zealots and internet rumormongers. It is Quixtar, Q-u-i-x-t-a-r who is responsible for all this negativity.

An IBO can't advertise, sell in shops or eBay. What choices he is left with? Harass friends and family. And random people he bumps into. Some will be pissed. Some will be vocal. Some will post it on the web. More communication is over the web now reaching wider audience.

What will happen then? People will run hearing the word Quixtar. What would IBOs do? Hide that word and use sneaky tactics. I remember being taught that. Given the public reaction to word 'Quixtar', doing so is not just a choice.

To fight negativity, Quixtar would rather sue and google bomb, instead of stopping IBOs doing things that generate negativity at the first place. But can Quixtar work if IBOs stop doing those things? Hell no. "But...what would happen to the business?" As Ken McDonald, ex GM said. So Quixtar would rather do sleazy nasty things. We are talking about scratch-and-sniff armpit of the MLM industry here!

These things will not improve the image will they? They knew the problem damn well, but didn't have the balls to fix it. Still don't.

Who pays the price? IBOs. Selling is hard by the rules. Recruiting becomes harder every day because of the image problem. Motivation and other cult mind control tactics keep IBOs loyal for longer time, but that makes their losses greater and leave them much bitter. This contributes towards more negativity and lawsuits.

Look what is happening now. Bloggers are taking shot after shot after shot at Quixtar. Honest IBOs are finding it harder to work with such a company. Kingpins are spending more on lawsuits. To date, less than 50 diamonds.

How this can be fixed?

I don't think it CAN be fixed my friend. Not without Quixtar taking the bull by the horns and getting rid of the jackholes running the show right now.

We all know that ain't gonna happen.

To become ethical would cost a fortune, and that would also cause them to focus on the movement of products, which are by and large overpriced.

Then Quixtar would be out even MORE money, with no way of getting it, since they can't lower the price of such fine merchandise.

It's a mess. I don't see a way out for Quixtar.

Especially now, with people blogging like crazy about what a piss poor opportunity it really is.

It's a great business! You just don't see it! There's no other Network Marketing company that will explode like Quixtar!

You seem like you need to learn something! Try listening to an educational tapes or CD (instead of what you currently are paying to fill your head with) & read a book! Barnes n Noble is a partner store!

You are assuming that I'm paying to "fill my head".

And you're wrong.

What educational value does those tape and CD hold? That people who don't do Quixtar are broke loser?

It has been exploded decades ago. And since 30 years, SAME number of IBOs.

Hi anonymous

Your "business" has been on the verge of explosion for quite a few years now.

You can learn things without paying through your bum.

The stuff you can learn online for free will save you much more money than you will ever make in Quixtar.

You are bleeding money to your upline. When I was working as a paramedic we had a saying.

All bleeding stops eventually.

Hope yours stops before you run out of blood.
