Comments:

We’ve been Quixtar IBO’s for 3 plus years and feel the 7 day waiting period would only hinder our ability to work our business. My wife and I have hit the 2500 pv level in the business and our next goal is to go 4000 pv. Because of the system we are a part of we have grown as business owner, and also as individuals due to the mentorship program we are a part of Crowe organization/www.bww.com When I was shown this business opportunity, I was given a literature pack to further explain what I just saw. I was also invited to an Open meeting for a second look and booked a follow up to answer any additional questions I might have and to qualify for the team I was going to be a part of. This is a common practice in our organization that allow people to get there questions answered as well as get additional info (do research if they choose).This also allows us to help get people started a lot quicker because at these follow ups they can bring other people who they feel are also ready to look what they saw and get started quicker. One thing that is made clear in our marketing plan is that we don't get paid for registering people; we only get paid when we help them create volume by selling products, networking and buying from their own products. We also explain to them that they can get there money back if they feel this isn't what they expected. We explain to them that to get started they need $72 for registration (business support, insurance and catalogs) and anywhere from $60 for a basic product pack up to $200 for a larger variety pack). This depends on their budget and how aggressive they want to start there business. A seven day wait period would slow us down especially when we are on track reach a goal at the end of the month as well as help them hit a goal at the end of the month. This business has been around for so long because it is based on a system that works fine just the way it is. Thank you and I hope this helps you to reconsider delaying our processes for building our business. Greg and Madeline Dixon
