Quixtar and Dateline NBC |
Quixtar was featured in a May 2004 "Dateline NBC" program that boiled down to the complaints of three former Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs) - one of whom is a competitor - and ignored the hundreds of thousands of Quixtar IBOs who are achieving their goals.
Quixtar may not be perfect, but we do a lot of things right, including our commitment to consumer protection. Quixtar rules prohibit statements that misrepresent the income potential represented by a Quixtar business, and potential Quixtar IBOs are provided with average earnings information.
The "Dateline" show examined the training and support provided by Quixtar IBO leaders and the income they derive from those training and support materials. As Quixtar informs all new IBOs, these materials are optional and covered by satisfaction guarantees. Quixtar also notifies IBOs that others earn income from these materials. In the end, individuals must decide for themselves if they find these materials of value.
A result is that Quixtar is a leading online retailer of health and beauty products, generating revenues greater than $1 billion last year. Since 1999, IBOs have earned more than $2.2 billion in bonuses and incentives through the sale of products offered through Quixtar.
Quixtar offers an opportunity, not a guarantee. In fact, research shows that most people who start their own Quixtar business do so to make a little extra income, not attain great wealth. Our business works when Quixtar IBOs achieve their goals. If this business doesn't work for them, Quixtar would not have achieved the level of success it has.
