Here is a letter received by an IBO who has an upline member terminating their business. It seems Quixtar is very concerned with IBO’s being solicited to join another company – which could be a very valid concern. However, as a business owner I can attest to the fact that the best way to keep people around, be they customers, employees or IBO’s, is to make your product, service and opportunity the best there is so that there is no comparable alternative for them to even consider.

Dear IBO,

An IBO in your upline recently informed us of their immediate resignation from the QUIXTAR® business. In situations like this, it is important for you and all the remaining IBOs in the Line of Sponsorship to understand your rights as well as the responsibilities of the resigning IBO.

First and most important, the resignation of an upline IBO should not hurt your QUIXTAR business. As an IBO, your contract is with Quixtar, and your relationship with Quixtar has not changed. We are always here to support you and to answer any questions you have.

Second, you and every other IBO remaining in your QUIXTAR leg have the right, under your contracts with Quixtar, to be free of any solicitation or interference by the departing IBO. If anyone tells you that a “group” of IBOs or some IBO “leaders” are going to leave Quixtar and join some other business, beware. The Rules of Conduct prohibit the departing IBO from participating in any competing network marketing business (for six months) and also prohibit the departing IBO from soliciting other IBOs to participate in such a competing business (for two years). Every IBO is required to use the QUIXTAR Line of Sponsorship only to promote and sell QUIXTAR-approved products and services. Please refer to Rules 4.14, 4.27, and 6.5 of the Rules of Conduct, available online for details.

Third, these Rules also apply to you and every other QUIXTAR IBO. No IBO has the legal right to solicit other IBOs for any business other than QUIXTAR . Any IBO who does so is violating the QUIXTAR contract and damaging the businesses of other IBOs. The QUIXTAR Rules are designed to protect you from a former IBO trying to get IBOs downline from you to leave QUIXTAR for some other opportunity.


Hopefully you aren’t facing these problems. But if you are, Quixtar can help. If another IBO is:

* soliciting other IBOs upline or downline from you to leave the QUIXTAR business;
* soliciting other IBOs downline from you to purchase BSM or attend business support meetings that are not approved by Quixtar or you;
* trying to pressure you to resign or to follow them into some other business;
* spreading false or misleading information about the QUIXTAR business; or
* interfering with your QUIXTAR business in any other way,

please contact Rules Administration at 616-787-6712 or qbcr.department@quixtar.com immediately. Quixtar can take action to enforce the Rules and protect your QUIXTAR business and the QUIXTAR businesses of other IBOs. However, if you have any questions concerning these issues, feel free to contact us at any time.

We hope the current situation has not been disruptive for you in building your business. With the addition of hew products, new programs, and $60 million more in the new QUIXTAR Business Incentives Program, there?s never been a better time to build a profitable QUIXTAR business.

Sincerely,

Gary VanderVen
Director Global Business Conduct & Rules
Quixtar Inc.
