Comments:
To whom it may concern: The Quixtar business has provided my wife and me the opportunity to diversify our business. The start up for this business was approximately $180.00 with very little choice of products. New IBO's have the opportunity to sign up for $135.00 with unlimited choices of products. Upon registering I was given full disclosure through written materials. Today's IBO's have the availability of written disclosure materials and a full website to further their ability to investigate their business. Disclosure of earnings, references, litigations, and financial statements would in many situtations be a violation of the right to privacy and would place undue hardships on the registering IBO. As a private business owner, I would never expect to give this information to clients or question them in these sensitive areas. I went into business with Quixtar knowing that it was not a get rich overnight program and this is fully explained to incoming IBOs. I have found the people who own and work within and without Quixtar to be people of integrity and trust. The rules and regulations set up by the Quixtar board and the Independent Board have insured a quality business throughout my years of being an IBO. Thank you, Kenneth E. Benton
