Progress

To All AllianceNet Teammates,

I want to report some exciting news for you regarding our AllianceNet business model!

Yesterday, our AllianceNet Board and all qualified Platinum’s and above met via teleconference and voted in a unanimous decision to accept a proposal to revamp our AllianceNet Business School “training system.” Here are some bullet points of the new proposal:

Beginning December 1, 2004, we reducing the cost of our Business School from $88.00 to $58.00 monthly or $29.00 every two weeks. This is a savings to all teammates of $30.00 per month. We will now have a Web fee only of $58.00 or $29.00 every two weeks.

We have eliminated any payout on our system. We want to be above reproach and with the negative about “systems” in this industry we felt the need to become a standard bearer with regard to this issue.

Each week our Personal Growth & Development cd’s will be posted on our Web Site in an MP3 format for you to listen to or download at your leisure. Instructions will be given for downloading if you do not have the proper Windows format. You will now have the capability to “burn” cd’s on your home computer! Everyone either has a computer or access to one so we are excited about this bold and aggressive decision. A two week time lag will be given for you to listen to or burn a copy of the cd’s of the week before they are taken down to post the next ones.

Also, if you wish, you will able to continue to place an order for hard copies of any cd through our Web Site. These items will be mailed to you including shipping and handling.

We are eliminating the Book of the Month! In the future, our Web Site will have a Book of the Month suggestion for you to purchase from one of our partner stores, Barnes & Noble.

We are also eliminating the present Web Site member fee participation of $20.00 beginning December 1, 2004. We are going to encourage those teammates to become full fledge members of our site and with the $30.00 cost reduction we feel that this is now possible. Make sure to encourage these teammates to sign up for the new $29.00 cost every two weeks for all the information!

We are proud of this great strategy as it shows the heart of our leadership, their commitment to do the right thing, and their desire to eliminate costs so as to make our “training system” affordable to everyone. As we pay for our Web Site and eliminate debt over the next two years we are hopeful that we can reduce our cost even further.

I hope you are excited about this as we all are. Stay focused, continue buying our great products and promote these products to all your teammates.

I look forward to seeing you in January at our four One Day Conventions if not before.

Best regards,

Joe Land

What a fantastic bit of news from the AlianceNet organization! This is the kind f progress that I like to see. No more piles of unmarketable CDs lining your garage. No more behind-schedule libraries of books you'll never read. An SOS realizes that people don't like this, so they fix it. And how? By utilizing the very web industry that made Quixtar great to begin with. Three cheers for ANS.

I can already see the list of complaints rolling in. "Well it should be free!" "60 bucks?! Highway robbery!" Systems are going to cost money, no matter how efficient you make them, folks. Get over it. I'd rather pay $30 less and not have to clutter my house with CDs and books than the previous plan of business. Quit complaining, you hozers.
