Quixtar/ multi-level marketing

Hi everyone,

Last night I attended a business meeting with a friend of mine in Absecon. My friend recently became an IBO (?) with this company Quixtar/Alticor.

Before going my friend told me the guest speaker was a multi millionaire who worked about 10-20 hours a week.

The speaker spoke for an hour and a forty-five minutes. The first hour the speaker Jeff Hathaway painted a nice picture of his financial situation and the riches that awaited everyone in the room.

The next forty-five minutes he discussed the theory and practice behind Quixtar/Alticor and how he wanted to make everyone in the room a millionaire.

Has anyone here ever heard of this company or tried this out?

He did do an excellent job of motivating the crowd and captivating everyone's imagination in the room.

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this company or this type of environment.

By the way, it's worth noting that Chris Hansen wrote that article, apparently before he became a full-time pederast chaser.

Multi-level marketing? I could be wrong about this, but isn't that like pretty much the definition of a pyramid scheme? I don't know anything about this and the whole thing smells ludicrously fishy.

DO NOT WANT.

It's Amway dude. I mean, literally, it's the same company. I've been suckered into two presentations, they put on the hard sell etc., but it's still a goddamn pyramid scheme and the people in it all act like Branch Davidians who just drank the Kool-Aid.

Google is your friend on this one.

I Googled it and I found reports on both sides of the fence.

I agree with your Branch Davidian comment. Everyone seemed way too nice and eager to help. I mean way too nice.

My girlfriend (soon to be ex) got dragged to something like this a few months ago by her best friend from college. Her friend moved away for months to work for this company with her husband and when she came back she tried to get all of her friends to go. Afterwards I was sitting there listening to her friends all laugh about it. They said their friend had turned into a cult member and was actually trying to rope everyone else into it so that she could make money off of her friends. When I heard about the scheme I couldn't believe that people actually fall for this [censored]. I also thought it was ridiculous that someone would try and rope their friends in when the only reason is to get them under them in the pyramid thing or whatever. If you could work 10-20 hours a week and make X million, you would either keep it to yourself or work 40 hours a week and make 2x million.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Quixtar/Amway is great if you don't mind becoming "that guy" to all your friends. I don't mean that in a sarcastic way. Some people really don't mind becoming that guy.

Remember in the movie "Go" when the cop was trying to sell Amway to the Party of Five dude? That is really how these people are. Cheers if you're down with that.

Why does this make you a pariah to most of your friends? The whole point of MLM is to get people in your "downline." The most effective way to start is to tell everyone you know about this awesome opportunity where all they need to do is build their own downline to get rich! To be a good salesman with this crap, you need to go hard at first, leverage the trust your friends and family have, fight resistance a little, then move on if you can't win.

Pretty soon you've run out of friends to bug and suddenly you find yourself making "business investments" in leads, "business investments" in lectures, and so on. It might work for you, but it doesn't work for most. Most people either realize the game and leave, or they burn all their cash on seminars and leads, then leave.

OR they join the little economy that supports the idiots playing the game, then they get rich.

That said, let me introduce you my eBook, How to Sell MLM Leads to MLM Idiots. Take a gander and then refer it to friends. I'll give you a 15% commission on every sale you make. AND I'll give you a a 9% commission on every sale your friends make that you referred to the program!
