Comments:
I am concerned about some of the proposals affecting independent business owners, especially having to provide prospects with a list of all lawsuits for the past 10 yrs. A list to include all arbitrations, allegations of fraud, misrepresentations and unfair trade practices whether or not the accusations are true. I think providing a list is unnecessary, as there is information already available on the internet. When I show the business plan, I always tell prospects that this business (Quixtar) is not a get rich quick scheme, that it will take hard work, shopping from our partner stores, and attending seminars and training sessions in order to succeed. I also suggest they check with the Better Business Bureau and with ThisBizNow website where our partner stores talk about their relationship with Quixtar. I love this business plan, as it not only makes sense, but the products are excellent, and the leadership is exceptional. In fact, my religious beliefs are so in alignment with my business, that sometimes I'm not sure whether I learned something at church or at a business meeting. I believe that most IBO's are simple, honest, hardworking people like me, who are concerned about our retirement years and see the Quixtar business as an opportunity to earn extra income while helping others to do the same. I have always worked fulltime but still struggle to make ends meet. When I was shown the business plan, I immediately saw the potential for earning the extra income. The cautious side of my character checked into the registration fee and realized that there was nothing to lose as most of the money would be for products. Therefore, when I registered I was comfortable with the thought that I could quit anytime and not worry about losing a huge sum of money since I would have the products in my hands already. Thank you for taking my comments into consideration. Suzanne Colby
