Silent But Steadfast - A Post On True IBO Stories

Here is our opinion on the following post from True IBO Stories

Posted on: Sunday, August 26, 2007

"So when you read the many disparaging, critical comments on the Quixtar and Alticor blogs, it's important to keep them in perspective: For every negative opinion, I know there are a hundred IBOs (dare I call them The Silent Majority?) who have positive experiences to share, continue to find promise in this business opportunity, doggedly pursue their goals, and "go placidly amidst the noise and haste.""

QuixtarTools.com: One should keep in mind all the IBOs that have been abused by the tool systems for over three decades and have quit as a result while the Corp. stood by "silently" and full aware of the situation. Most of them kept silent for too many reasons to mention including the bitter taste in the mouth that their experience has left them with, they just wanted to move on with their lives. I've spoken to quiet a few of such ex-IBOs as I was trying to get sales leads to move some product. In very many cases I was successfully, as most of them liked the products.
One should also keep in mind those IBOs who were "legally" forced into silence.

This Business can be the best opportunity in the case it's built right. One good example (not sure if there are others) of an organization that is doing just that is iTeamUsa. An Ibo doesn't have to switch their LOS in order to use this system, so this isn't an attempt to steal recruits.

My opinion on how it all began;

Amway started out as a mlm focusing on retailing first, sponsoring second, personal development third.

The high pin Ibos realized that they get to keep all of the profits on tools as opposed to profits on products which they had to share with their downline. They therefore switched their priorities to: personal development first, sponsoring 2, retailing third.

Amway decided to capitalize on the brainwashed zombies that tools have created by raising prices inproportionately to commercial standards since they knew that the zombies will hyper consume the product at any price.

Amway gets a bad rep due to the tool scam and high prices and tries to cover up by Changing their name to Quixtar. The cover up fails ( Date line NBC, Merchant of Deception, etc.).

Quixtar decides to change back to Amway in an effort to encourage retailing product and terminates two known tool scam artists in an effort to clean up the tools scam.

My opinion of the future

The brainwashed zombies will slowly start becoming normal people and stop hyper-consuming over priced products while having a hard time retailing them again due to their high price.

Amway will star losing it's sales volume and will be forced to lower the prices in an effort to bring up the sales volume.

i hope I'm right about the future, and if I am, it really is exciting."

Judge rules against TEAM, in favour of Quixtar

In a big win for Quixtar, a Michigan Court today ruled for Quixtar and against TEAM in all 3 cases before it. From the Quixtar press release -

In ruling on three motions related to the terminations, Judge Paul Sullivan of Kent County Circuit Court took the following actions:

* Issued a preliminary injunction preventing Woodward and his company, Team, from using Quixtar business data to recruit Quixtar IBOs as Team builds a competing business;
* Issued a second injunction ordering Woodward and other terminated distributors to return confidential documents and data they had taken from their former trade association, which has suspended them; and
* Denied an injunction request from others who sought to prevent Quixtar from enforcing its rules of conduct.

Woodward and Brady are among those who have sued Quixtar in California, alleging it is an illegal pyramid scheme!

From www.MLIVE.com

"Even though they have filed that suit, members of TEAM have continued to recruit another 1,000 new Quixtar IBOs, attorneys for Woodward and Brady said." read full story

Here is a response from Fred Harties on his involvement in the Lawsuit

A Comment Posted by Fred Harteis On The New IBOAI Blog Site

1. I did not back out of the lawsuit. I had no knowledge that a lawsuit was being filed and did not authorize anyone to include me as a party to the lawsuit. This fact was conceded by TEAM's attorney to my attorney earlier this week. I had never read or seen the lawsuit. I had never spoken with the attorneys who filed the suit for TEAM. TEAM's intentional and reckless conduct in causing their attorneys to place my name on the Complaint has and will continue to cause substantial damages to me and my family in our Quixtar businesses. The damages that we are sustaining are amply demonstrated by this comment from "TEAM Member."

2. No one exerted any pressure on me to make any decision. I never intended to join any TEAM member in a lawsuit against Quixtar in the first instance.

3. I have never received any compensation from the TEAM training system. And while we're at it, I do not agree with the sale of BSM without the supporting a business that offers consumable products. A system that is promoting the system itself and focuses almost entirely on income from the system is improper and not something in which I will engage.

Fred Harteis Removes Himself From Lawsuit

Here is a new report about Fred Harteis. It is apparent that the TEAM is in over their head. Leaders are already splintering off in different directions.

A Lower Paxton Twp. man says his inclusion as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against multilevel marketing firm Quixtar Inc. was "an error," and he has been removed from the legal action.

Fred Harteis, president of Harteis International at 7955 Jonestown Road, said yesterday through a spokeswoman that he remains a distributor for Quixtar, a corporate cousin of the better-known Amway Corp. of Ada, Mich.

The lawsuit contends that Quixtar is an illegal pyramid scheme, violating rules set by the Federal Trade Commission after previous litigation involving Amway.

Here is what TEAM had to say about Fred's move:

Statement from Shughart, Thomson & Kilroy Regarding Plaintiff Fred Harteis:

Fred Harteis was involved in many conversations with us in the previous weeks concerning the state of the current Quixtar business, the pricing of its products, and Quixtar's coming transformation. On Friday, after we filed our Complaint, Fred's attorney notified us that Fred would not participate. Therefore, Fred is no longer a plaintiff in this lawsuit. We respect Fred's right to decide what he thinks is best for his family and business.
