First plan in the new system with TEAM...New 2-5 year plan....

Well, I STP'd today for the first time to a gentleman named Singh, from a company called Neo Jewelers. He is a Customer of mine at Portside. He had a friend there too, who turned out to be in the biz already. Oh well!

But the point is that I really liked doing the plan. I didn't feel like I was roped into reading through the booklet, that we used to use. I talked for a while about them, and I think I made a friend. Then I briefly talked about the 45 year plan, and showed the income graph of that. Then talked about the cash flow quadrant because they are both business people. I think I will hold off on talking about that unless they ask about time.

I then just talked about trends and then showed the can of XS. That's when his friend realized that this was Quixtar.

Anyway, as far as I am concerned, the plan was a success, because I really felt comfortable and I think things flowed smoothly.

Here's to a new 2-5 year plan with GREAT SUCCESSS

INTERESTING...Quixtar back to Amway???

I read today from the IBOIA site that in the next 1 1/2 to 2 years Alticor is going to be abandoning the Quixtar name, and reverting to Amway...

IBOAI Board Reacts to Alticor Transition Plans

Alticor Inc., parent company of Quixtar Inc., has announced major business transformation plans. Alticor Inc. has confirmed the transformation with various media including the Associated Press (AP). According to the AP story, “Direct-sales giant Alticor Inc. will phase out its Quixtar Inc. label during the next 1 1/2 to two years and rebuild its Amway Corp. brand in the United States and Canada.” The story cites a memo from company Chairman Steve Van Andel and President Doug DeVos distributed to U.S. employees last week, which explained: “The realities of a crowded and competitive global marketplace have made us realize that we need to 'fly one flag' to put significant resources behind establishing one opportunity brand wherever we do business. That brand will be Amway, in North America and all over the world."

The timing of this business transformation is projected to take place within the next 18-24 months.

New Beginnings...again

Well, it seems that we are in another major change in our business.

There was a big meeting last week that I was unable to attend. Glenn and Pam Schoffler ran the meeting, and basically, what we are going to be doing is leaving the Yager system, and following Orrin Woodward/Chris Brady's System.

Orrin has studied Yager from the beginning, and since both he and Chris are Engineers, they have totally remastered Dex's tapes. So their system follows the way Dex built the business when he first got started.

They STP differently, and we will be leaving the IBO city site and the tools. So everything is up in the air for me, and I am not sure how things will work. But I don't have to know it all right now. I'll leave it up in the air, and trust that I will get the information needed when I need it.

There is a function in Albany on 7/6 that Christopher (Weiss), and I will be attending. It is going to be run by Glenn and Pam. So it should be interesting. I welcome the change, because there is very fast growth in their businesses.

One thing that seems to be very different is the fact that they put people under other people, and develop one leg called the apprentice, then go from there. So I guess they work on building depth in one leg to create stability, and then work on width after there are about 10 people in the first line.

Not very profitable at first, but more profitable than getting a lot of people wide, and no width under any of them, which is what our business has been. So we'll See....
