Comments:
I think the requirements that have been suggested w/r/t Quixtar are massive overkill. I am a fairly new "IBO" but I am an attorney and I know how to deal with people and what is legit and what is not. I have never been "pressured" in any way by anyone in Quixtar. In fact, they have been better friends(and more honest) to me than lawyers have, by far! and if I, as an attorney ( who is presumed to have the ability to "unduly influence" the public) do not have give referrals, why should I have to do so in a purely commercial scenario? it cost me something like $45.00 to register! what is all the fuss about? Tthe people I know are just not that stupid that they need protection from rapid "Independant Business Owners." I tthink the way this sounds, it could be the result of lobbying by "bricks and mortar" stores who are losing business to us!
