The IBO Communications Platform was developed by Quixtar following review and recommendations by the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI) Board. This Platform outlines the business-communication standards that an IBO must meet as part of the requirements to receive accreditation from the Quixtar Professional Development Accreditation Program.
"Business communications" are all communications used within the business arena: print, audio, visual, e-mail, voicemail, websites, and live. The latter includes all types of business functions, from one-on-one meetings to large conventions.
While these standards are spelled out in detail on the following pages, they can be summed up simply as follows:
Focus on business. Treat others as you would like to be treated.
As this is a business, it is only logical that communications within the business arena focus on business and not on areas outside the business arena, such as religion and politics. And to "treat others as you would like to be treated" is a longstanding and widely accepted maxim on human relations.
Taken together, these two concepts reflect the philosophy and standards of the IBO Communications Platform.
