If you have been around Quixtar and Amway for any amount of time, you have undoubtedly heard this saying, "You have to treat the system like a college education and invest in your future".
That sounded logical to me so I decided to compare Quixtar training with college, not in income, (we'll get to that later), but in success or "graduation" rates if you will.
According to Quixtar, .0076% of active IBO's attain the level of diamond and less than 1% attain the level platinum or above. Source (see page 2)
In other words, the "graduation rate" of the Quixtar training systems is less than 1%. Meanwhile, the graduation rate at the University of Washington is about 70%.
If you were told that the chances of graduating college was less than 1%, would you go?

"According to Quixtar, .0076% of active IBO's attain the level of diamond and less than 1% attain the level platinum or above."
This is not accurate. The .0076% is the percentage of _current_ "active" IBOs at any one time that have achieved diamond. That doesn't take into account that in addition to the current "active" IBOs who aren't achieving diamond there are millions more former and in-"active" IBOs who didn't "achieve" diamond as well.
Hence, a more accurate "success" rate is 1 in about 95,000 or .0011% (.000011) for all pins "diamond and above."
