Independent Business Owners Association International IBOAI Review

The domain name for Independent Business Owners Association International a.k.a. IBOAI was registered in March of 1999. This was about a year after I got started marketing online. Even though this MLM Association was registered in 1999, they have been around offline for just over 50 years now. This organization was started by Amway Global which is formerly known as Quixtar. The IBOAI takes an advisory role and to Amway Global and makes suggestions regarding how they are supposed to run their business.

In fact, the Independent Business Owners Association International or IBOAI makes suggestions on every facet of the Amway Global Business, which include how to operate it, how to promote it as well as play a regulatory role by helping establish business guidelines. This organization is responsible for establishing a comprenensive Rules Of Conduct, which one can view in its entirety on the Quixtar website. This is a complete guide for IBO’s (Independent Business Owners) to make sure they are playing by the rules.

One of the main rules of conduct the Independent Business Owners Association International or IBOAI frowns on is cross solicitation. They have this posted right on their front page and it’s obvious this organization is vehemently against this. IBOAI members along with members of World Vision are also involved in the Network of Caring. In the last 15 years, the Network of Caring has helped children in 14 countries take care of more than 10,000 needy Children. It’s nice to see IBO’s and World Vision team up to help desparate children in real need.

The main function of the Independent Business Owners Association International or IBOAI is to act as the primary trade association acting on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of IBO’s and to act as an advocate to the IBO at all stages of their business affiliations with Amway Global. Whether you just joined at the very bottom and want to start working your way up, or you are a career Network Marketer this organization was created to keep your best interests in mind and to make sure your career with the company is as smooth and nice as possible.

The Executive Committee as well as the Governance & Oversight Committe are what makes up the board of the Independent Business Owners Association International or IBOAI. The three most common discussed topics among this board are Legal & Ethical issues, Business & Operations as well as Awards & Recognition to IBO’s who step up to the plate and make things happen. They also control a Hearing & Disputes Committee and the Marketing Advisory Committee which also advises on future product development.

I’ve been seeing Amway Global on television a lot lately. They now make Billions of Dollars in sales each year. Many of us reading this have known about them even before we ourselves got involved in Network Marketing. I know I’ve heard about them as a child before I really knew what MLM was.

Dexter Yeager is an old school Network Marketer who has made a fortune with Amway and has been with them for decades. Many others in Amway have also made a small mint with the company. This is a company that has stood the test of time, and is still around now long after hundreds of other companies have folded during this same time period.
