 our
respect. While I don’t feel I can replace Jim, my goal is to
maintain the integrity that he brought in 2007. We have a historic
opportunity ahead of us, and the “spirit of partnership” between
the Field and Amway Global / Quixtar is alive and well.
Last year the Board was able to assist in the creation of the
largest compensation increase in the history of this business, and
we now have the best compensation plan in this industry. Your 2007
Board worked closely with Amway Global / Quixtar as they introduced
Simply Nutrilite™
and Artistry® essentials. We established LOS and LOA conference
calls to keep the leadership informed on a variety of issues. Last,
but certainly not least, your Board began the process of
transformation with Amway Global / Quixtar and strives to keep the
Field advised of where it stands at all times. None of this would
have been possible without the relationship between the Field, the
Corporation, and the Founding Families.
As we look to 2008:
-
Your Board is working with Amway Global / Quixtar to establish
a structured communication protocol with the Field to improve
understanding on various issues during transformation.
-
We will work with the Corporation to help insure that
accreditation is a win/win for everyone.
-
Your Board is actively engaged with Amway Global / Quixtar to
help all IBOs during their crucial first 90 to 120 days in this
business.
-
Even though the new QBI is only a few months old, we are
already examining this program with Amway Global / Quixtar to
see if it can be improved. Our goal is that no IBO who is
willing to work or is performing will be left behind.
-
We will continue to provide input on: international businesses;
compensation; awards and recognition; products to support your
businesses; issues such as back orders; and, most importantly,
making the relationship between the company’s owners, North
American team, and the Field the best it has ever been.
A quick reminder; the IBOAI Board and staff work for all IBOs in
the Field. We will do our very best to make sure you hear from us
regularly. We will keep the lines of communication open with the
various LOS and LOA leaders. The fantastic IBOAI staff is always
available to assist in any way they can.
When Amway Global / Quixtar announced the upcoming name change in
June 2007, they titled the announcement: Brand New Day. I
believe it accurately describes where we are going. This
transformed new business model is not “your Daddy’s Oldsmobile.” We
are not going back to Amway. We are moving forward to “Amway
Global,” a business model that will make the world sit up and take
notice. Together we will transform this business, partner with the
Corporation with even greater enthusiasm, and establish a template
for decades to come!
Working together, the best is yet to come,
Bill Hawkins
2008 Chairman
IBOAI Board of Directors
