As a Power Team Leader I have receive several calls from individuals who want detailed information about YTB (Your Travel Biz ) . They have selected our site because we provide detailed information about the opportunity, the corporate structure, the product and service offerings and the target markets.

The more information you have will lead to an educated decision, less surprises and a better fit for your needs and expectations. For example, outlined below is an email I received today from a person who did not get all the facts and information prior to starting her home based business:

” Hello there. My name is Delores. I have been looking for a home business for a long time and have no luck. The fact that a lot of these businesses say that they don’t require to do a lot of things but as soon as you pay money to join, you’re hit with a load of stuff that you weren’t told about to actually fulfill your Home Business Dream.. I am a mother of 6 children and all of them are in school, with the eldest a senior and the youngest in 1st grade…I would love to have the opportunity to learn about your business and I am asking if you can please be upfront with me with fees of any kind… I would like to give this business a try if it’ll help me stay home and be with my family more, and working my business. I have never taking the travel that we’ve always wanted because of the high fares, and know some people that like to travel as well. Maybe this business will give me the chance to finally take that family vacation, by maybe some discounts for owning my own business. Please get back at me quick with what I need to start. I would also like to know if you can give me more informations on this business i.e, how it works, what the nature of the work is and those kinds of information. I appreciate your taking the time to read this long email.”

My heart goes out to Dolores and I know she is now on the right track by conducting research before she selects another opportunity.

They say timing can influence most things in life. To that point, the summer time is a major timing factor for taking vacations. What a time to join YTB Travel and provide travel, hotels, car rentals, group vacations and theme vacations to millions of Americans during this vacation season. Since we have a home based travel agency with YTB, we are doing just that!

In the fall, there is a large segment of the baby boomer generation that generally go South to warmer climates. These people are usually of the retirement age and make this journey on a regular basis. With your own online travel business, just imagine the business opportunity that is available by having a home travel agency.

As the year progresses, we approach the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, which are the heaviest travel days of the year. By now, many know that you have an online travel business and will book all travel logistics on your site, because the pricing is less, or very competitive to any other travel agent available. Secondly, they know you and prefer doing business with someone they know. Remember, YTB Travel MLM does not advertise, and can provide more cost effective travel than other online travel agencies that spend 60% of all revenues on television advertising.

Next as a home based travel agent, you ease into another timing factor: Spring break. My YTB home based business is planning the spring break trip for my daughter’s high school senior trip. With this type of group travel, the commissions to be earned are significant. The way we arranged this opportunity is very simple. They all know us, the trip price is the best available, and friends do business with friends if the quality is the same and the price is less.

After spring break vacation time period, we re- enter summer vacation time and the beat goes on. During the interim, we book business travel through our online travel business which makes up most of the travel industry. As you can see, timing is on the travel industry’s side and the demand is ongoing. Always remember, you are not asking anyone to do something that they weren’t already planning to do anyway…. travel!

When selecting a home based business , it is important to identify the type of customer that you think will buy your products and services. In the best case scenario, the broader your targeted customer base, the chances of selling more product and services is much greater.

Now let’s consider an example of a service that everyone can use regardless of gender, age, size or any other differentiating factors: Travel. YTB Travel provides travel services for every type of travel need. Furthermore, all aspects of travel make up a $1.3 trillion dollar industry in the US alone, and $7 trillion world wide. This makes the decision to have your own online travel business very attractive. By having your own online travel agency, your travel biz will generate more commissionable sales than other home based businesses because everyone has the need to travel.

Having a home based travel agency is easy to run because people will simply book travel on your home based travel web site. It is no different than booking travel on any other online travel site, and easy to do. In fact 90 million people in the US alone booked travel online last year without any problem. This is why travel is the most successful business on the Internet today. It’s easy to do, and there is a derived demand for travel

YTB home travel agent is a great opportunity for anyone looking for that right MLM home business. One of the most attractive aspects of selecting the YTB travel agency is the support you will receive from YTB Travel. For example, YTB Travel specialists are on call to assist any customer who has special needs, or requires assistance with any travel issue. Secondly, all travel logistics are insured by YTB Travel, which excludes the YTB home travel agent from any liabilities of conducting your travel business.

Think about this: By having a home travel business you are not asking anyone buy anything, because they have already planned to travel anyway. So, why not book their travel on your site and get a better deal most of the time. This is possible because YTB Travel does not have the enormous advertising overheads that are associated with other travel agencies. This is also how YTB Travel can pay their home based travel agent 60% of all travel commissions and remain a very profitable company.

One of the four major reasons for failure in network marketing is selecting the wrong upline sponsor. Even when you find a great company with fantastic products and services, it is very difficult to build a successful business without the support of a committed upline sponsor who will provide ongoing support, training and direction. The alternative is a new YTB affiliate who is left to his own devices, and who will soon fail due to the lack guidance, marketing support and training.

It’s easy to sign up with a friend, or the first person who presents the YTB Travel opportunity, but make sure you are selecting the best upline sponsor that will provide the most benefit to you and your YTB business needs. For example, let’s say Sally is in YTB and she is a good friend. Is Sally an individual who is truly committed to not only her own personal success, but also your success? Even if Sally is very successful, will she have time for your needs and support issues?

When selecting a YTB Travel upline sponsor, it is important that this individual knows the full service offering, the value propositions that YTB has to offer to its affiliates and customers, the compensation plan, the YTB policies and procedures, has proven marketing and sales skills that can easily be transferred to you, and is available to support you when the need arises.

Since YTB is designed around and resides on the Internet, would you agree that it is important to join an upline sponsor who knows how to use the Internet as leverage to grow your business? This includes Internet marketing skills, lead generation capabilities, and the ability to create a personal web presence.

One of the main benefits of selecting the right upline sponsor is that you can pass down these learned skills to those that you bring into your YTB business. This will greatly effect their performance and your personal income…  The Clifton Travel Group is here to stay!

If you need help, all you have to do is ask:

• Your first line of help is your SPONSOR. This is the person that directly brought you into the buisness. They should be ready, willing and able to help you. After all, it is mutually beneficial for them to help you. It helps you grow into a leader and this help grow both of your businesses.
• Your next line of help is your UPLINE. This is your sponsor’s sponsor, sponsor’s sponsor’s sponsor, etc. Your sponsor should get this information to you as soon as possible after you have joined. You really need this information especially if you need to do a 3 way call or have a question and cannot reach your sponsor. You should have at least 2 other people you can call for help. Make sure your sponsor gets you that information right away.
• Another line of help is the COMPANY. This is usually only necessary if you have to call in an order or enrollment, need to approve ad content, or other question that directly relates to the company. Most questions can be answered by the two methods listed above.

Teamwork makes the Dream Work so use your support and go build a HUGE business for you and your family.

If you have ever had a job, you understand that when your boss wants you at work, you need to be there. Maybe not every second of every day, but at least most of the time.

Your business with us is no different, except that you are YOUR OWN boss. Now with this title comes many benefits but also comes a great deal of responsibility. As your own boss it is very important to set aside specific time each week to work your business. Think of it as making your own work schedule. But remember, as an employee it is too easy to say you’ll do it tomorrow and that must change. This is YOUR company and you need it done today!

If you set aside 2 hours on Tuesday, 2 hours on Thursday and 3 hours on Saturday, as your time to work your business, then you have to be a strong enough boss to make your employee do what they are supposed to. This time should be spent talking with prospects and other activities that produce results, NOT cleaning your desk off, shuffling papers or other non-productive activities.

You see, your business isn’t going to build itself. You need a purposeful effort, the discipline, and the determination to make it happen. Not many people create wealth without making a sacrifice or two and sticking to a game plan.
Set your hours each week around other activities you have for the week. That is certainly an advantage and benefit to being your own boss, you can work the hours you want but remember that you still have to work.

The more you work, the faster your business will grow. The less you work the slower your business will grow.
