2007 Quixtar Sales Announced...
Sales at Quixtar, its direct-selling arm in the United States, fell slightly but still topped $1 billion for the fifth consecutive year, according to the company.
Quixtar faced a major revolt among its distribution base in 2007 as the company tried to reform business practices and weed out distributors the company said would not agree to its new terms. The dust-up resulted in lawsuits and the resignation of more than 15,000 distributors.
Alticor reiterated its plan to do away with the Quixtar name, saying it would transition back to using the Amway brand by the end of 2009.
The company said 70 percent of its Amway affiliate markets -- 39 of 55 -- posted sales increases during 2007. Alticor said such growth shows it can grow in established as well as emerging markets.
The company said sales were robust in Asia, especially China, where the government has settled regulatory uncertainties and Amway sells through 180 retail stores.

I'm sorry I haven't been following Quixtar that closely, but thought that name and branch of the company was developed to distance themselves away from the Amway name and reputation.
Is Alticor the parent of both companies?
Quixtar was launched as the online alternative to Amway but owned by the same company (Alticor). Then Amway in North America was phased out and Quixtar was it. Now Quixtar is being phased out and they are going back to Amway.
I wanted to know TY since you have a lot to say about all direct selling & NM companies……what do you know about Carbon Copy Marketing? "Wealth Masters International?
Seems sketchy to me……check it out. Seems that you get $30 for an application that is submitted which costs a person $49 plus they want you to buy a "system" that's $2000 up to $20,000….& you make $ off of each one sold?? You also have to pay a lot for conferences & then a $149 a month fee…..
Let's see what you come up with!
I know the guys that developed the Carbon Copy system (at least one of them) and he is a great marketer. He also believes in providing more in value than he ever requests in payment. I don't know the details of the plan of the company, but it might be something to look into.
