The business plan
In recent years, the Internet has provided expanded opportunities in commerce and communications. Unfortunately, the Internet also has provided a new channel for illegal activities, including pyramid schemes.
The Quixtar business opportunity stands apart from such schemes as a model of integrity. Quixtar's Independent Business Ownership Plan is based on a proven plan that has been used legally and successfully for the past 40 years. In fact, a FTC judge, supported by the entire Federal Trade Commission, deemed that the plan now used by Quixtar is legal. In fact, it has been considered the plan to be followed in its industry.
There are four key reasons for Quixtar's high standing:
- Sales-based compensation. Compensation in the Quixtar Plan is based on sales of products and services to consumers. An IBO who sponsors/registers other IBOs earns income based on his own sales and on sales made by his downline IBOs. IBOs cannot receive income based on sales by downline IBOs without meeting specified retail selling requirements each month.
- No "headhunting fee." An IBO is never compensated for merely sponsoring another IBO.
- No purchase requirements. There are absolutely no minimum product purchases that an IBO must make.
- Buyback rights. If an IBO wishes to discontinue his business, any currently marketable and unused inventory will be bought back, upon request, by either the sponsoring IBO or Quixtar. This rule addresses the potential for excessive inventory buildup.
The only required cost to become an IBO is the modest registration fee, and Quixtar's IBO Rules of Conduct ensure that the unique characteristics of the Independent Business Ownership Plan are protected.
The Quixtar business plan, supported by enforcement of these rules, makes Quixtar a respected, viable business.
