www.ConnieSeagle.com  for some FREE credit advice.

Are the kids all grown and your in that big house all alone? Don’t despair, you don’t have to stay in that empty nest any longer…
www.TheAdventurousEmptyNestersTravelClub.com is the site to go to.  We’re just getting started, but I plan to add some really neat things to the site in the future.  I plan to add some really good trips as well. 
Be one of the first to sign up for membership in this travel club.  There is no cost to join and you don’t have to commit to anything.  First and foremost, it is a site where empty nesters can find new things to do with their time and while its main focus will definitely be group travel, I hope to make it much more than just a travel club. 

My husband and I have been empty nesters for several years now and we found that after we lost that network of parents at school, we have had a hard time meeting new people.  We started traveling when we can, but we certainly need some friends even when we’re not traveling.  That is why I want this site to be about more than just travel….  So check us out and join our party and you might just decide you want to join one of our trips as well.

Are you looking for a business opportunity but haven’t found anything that you can truly make money at?
www.TurnKeyMarketingSystem4U.com is the place to go.  Sign up for information, and I will personally give you a call.  I am not a high pressured sales person.  I just have an opportunity for the right people.  If its for you, GREAT and if its not for you, I will respect that as well. 

This is a lot of info to digest.  So stay in and stay warm and remember God’s gift to you is the life He gave you, what you do with that life is your gift back  to him. How big is that gift?

SUCCESS IS MINE IN 2009

Its hard to believe another year has passed and the holidays are once again on us. 
2008 has been such an emotion filled year with my Dad’s passing in April and my
daughter’s marriage in October.   Both kids built houses this summer which kept us all
busy and my husband has already killed 5 deer this hunting season.   With so much
going on, it’s no wonder the year has passed so quickly.

My travel business has really taken off in 2008 and is growing much faster than I ever
thought possible,  I am VERY HAPPY I made the decision to purchase a travel website
and start my own business  in 2007.  My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.

Since I last posted anything about the FABULOUS opportunity YTB has to offer, 
GREAT things have transpired.

• We now have tens of thousands of RTA’s all across the country
• We’ve expanded our abilities to recruit into Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Bermuda and the Bahamas
• The travel side of the business has been enhanced and there are plans to add the franchise business model in 2009.

YTB’s goal is to train all of it’s RTA’s into successful travel agents enabling them to earn
a PHENOMENAL income from  travel sales commissions.  To do this, they have completely
overhauled the back office and added TONS of FREE TRAINING.  They have also added
the First Class and E-Campus which enables RTA’s to become certified travel agents who earn
70% of the commissions instead of 60%.

In celebration of these changes, Coach Tomer our founder and leader is making you the best
offer he has ever made anyone in the history of the company.  For a limited time, when you
join YTB for a fee of $499.90,  you get

• FREE  access to the First Class, a $149.00 savings,
• The 2nd and 3rd months monthly maintenance fee FREE, a $99.90 savings. 
• When you successfully complete the First Class you’ll earn 70% of the commissions instead of 60%

In reality, Coach is giving you a $249.90 Christmas Bonus before you sale anything.  What
other company gives a Christmas gift before any work has been done?

The website has also been enhanced enabling you to specialize in a niche if you so choose.  Not
only will you own your YTB Travel Website, you’ll own

• YTB Outdoors
•  YTB Gold
•  YTB Romance
• YTB Flowers.  

 And, when you see all the things on YTB Travel that you can earn commission on, you’ll be very
 surprised that you don’t have to pay extra for the 4 FREE niche sites.

Check out all the changes to the travel site at www.ytbtravel.com/cseagle.  Play around on the site
 and see all it has to offer.  Hint. Click on the Extra’s tab.  You’ll be amazed at all the DIFFERENT

This is the best social networking site I have come upon. Let me sign you up today.

In network marketing, knowing how to present your opportunity to different personalities is vitally important to your success.  If you can grasp this concept, you will know who to talk to, how to be the most effective and when to close them or move on to the next person.  
Study this, learn it and then go out an apply it and YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL.  

Yellows make up 35% of the population. They are nurses, schoolteachers, UN workers … the nurturers. They give from the heart. They don’t have time for themselves, because they give to everybody.

 

Yellows have built some of the largest organizations in network marketing …
WHEN they have the belief they can do it.

 

How To Sponsor A Yellow

 

To color your way to the top, you need to learn to be a chameleon.

 

Yellows don’t want to be sold. They don’t like pushy, aggressive salespeople.
When you talk with a Yellow, become a Yellow. Slow the pace. Contain your excitement.

 

Lower the volume. Yellows see excitement as hype, you trying to sell
them. Don’t tell a Yellow about making $10,000 a month, because that will turn them off.

 

Instead, visit with them. Skip the business. Talk about their family, their kids and their vacation.

 

Yellows cannot work in stair step breakaway-type compensation plans. They
have to be in a plan where you can put people under people and people under people. They’re best in any kind of “infinity” plan that pays them to work deep, deep, deep.

 

BLUE’s just want to have fun. They’re 15% of the population and are always in a sales business of some kind. They jump from program to program to program, looking for fun. These are the planet’s most creative people.
A Blue sees the big picture instantly. They don’t need or want all the details.

 

If you start bothering blues with details about how easy it is to earn  bonuses and residual income you’ll loose them after the first sentence.  But tell them how much fun you had at the convention and their in the palm of your hand.

 

 How To Sponsor A Blue

 

In regards to the comp plan, they are the same as the yellows.  They can go deep, to create massive spillover and with things happening quickly for them, that gets them excited, and they’ll stay in the business.

 

When talking to a Blue, excitement, excitement, excitement is the key. Talk about going scuba diving, sky diving and having fun, fun, fun. That’s what they want and that is what they will respond to.

 

They’ll talk a little bit about vacations & family, but most of all they want to talk about fun things to do.

 

 

Greens  also are 35% of the population. They are the analytical people. They analyze everything to death. Most have missed millions of dollars in opportunities because they analyzed it too long.

 

Greens can take Blue’s idea to the next level. They work well in any type of
complicated compensation plan. They like to figure out the Super Star  bonus that’s paid out on the 3rd, 9th, & 12th levels, every February 29^th birthday. .

 

 

 

How To Sponsor A Green

 

Greens believe they’re the smartest people in the world. You’ll know you have a Green within just a couple minutes of talking to them. They want ALL the details. You are NOT going to sell them. Don’t even try. They have to sell themselves. They’ll go to the web site, they’ll listen to the conference call. Then they’ll go to the next website and the next link. If you have 27 links on your website, they’ll go to every one. They’ll read all the testimonials, all the articles, etc.

 

Speak clearly and correctly for a Green. Don’t speak too fast. Don’t speak
too slow. Be upfront. Give them all the information. Answer all their questions. Give them more websites to go to.

 

If you call in the meantime to answer questions, they’ll be abrupt. They see that as pushy. Let Greens analyze the information at THEIR pace.
In a week or 2 or 3, they’ll call back for more information or be ready to start.

 

They’ve sold themselves and decided this is the perfect business.

 

 

Reds are 15% of the population. They are money-motivated and money-focused. Don’t bother talking to them about your family or your vacation. They don’t care.

 

They know if you get married, you’re supposed to have kids. If you have kids, you’re supposed to go on vacation. End of story. Don’t want to talk about it.

How To Sponsor A Red

With a Red, it’s all about the money stupid. All they want to talk about is the money, the money, the money. Reds  think network marketing is a sales business. For them, it’s sell, sell, sell, and that is the way they need to be approached.

 

Reds are the corporate CEOs, the “get-the-job-done” people, the ones everyone in network marketing is looking for.

 

The problem,  Reds are just 15% of the population, and they are absolutely
not coachable. They have the biggest egos. They order people around. It works in corporate America, but not in network marketing. When a Red demands that people get on conference calls, he drives his people away.

 

On the other hand, Reds are well-connected. You want to sponsor Reds because they’ll put you in contact with powerful people. They know business owners, governors, leaders, etc. So target Reds. But don’t dare think you’re going to coach them or mentor them or tell them what to do, because it’s NOT going to happen.

 

Let them do it themselves. You really have no choice, anyway.

 

But network marketing is NOT a sales business.   It’s a teaching and mentoring business.

 

When you find people massively successful they are the Reds, the salespeople. But generally speaking, retention is very low. If they recruit 100 people in a year, they’ve got just a handful left by the end of the year.  While Reds build your business quickly, it takes more than Reds to sustain it.

 

But with a Yellow, if they get 100 people in the business, they’ll teach & mentor. They’ll work down deep in the organization and they may have 60 or 70 still active after a year.

 

Everyone is a blend of colors showing different personality traits at different times. As you meet and LISTEN to people, get in the habit of spotting the different colors in their personalities. Use the clues we listed above. Use the “colors” technique every day. Make it second nature and you’ll be surprised at the difference it will make in your business.

 

Tax Freedom Day is the day in the year when you have made enough money to pay your taxes for the year. 
   

Most people don’t realize that taxes are their biggest expense.  Take a look at your pay stub and add the amount of tax that was taken out for federal, state, local, FICA and Social Security and multiply that by the number of checks you get per year.  Then add any additional money you paid on April 15 or deduct any refund you received and that is the total tax you paid.  Shocked?  I was.  I realized I work every year until the first week in April for the government and that is when I started looking at a home based business.  The tax benefits of having a home based business are enormous.  I started my home based travel business in January of 2007 and as a result, I worked only 1-1/2 months for Uncle Sam instead of 4 and cut my tax liability at the end of the year in half.   Bear in mind that in order for these expenses to be deductible you must show a PURSUIT OF PROFIT.   Treat your business like a business and the IRS will too, but if you treat it like a hobby, the IRS will do likewise. 

While it is ALWAYS advisable to get advice from your accountant,  I am going to show you some ways a home based business can help you:

SET UP A HOME OFFICE AND DEDUCT CERTAIN HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES:  All you have to do to qualify your home with the IRS as the location of your home based business is to (1) Actively pursue the business with the intent of making a profit.  (2) Devote more than 10 hours per week to your business and (3) Set aside a specific portion of your home to use exclusively for business.  Household expenses that are deductible include utilities (we will discuss in another paragraph), the business portion of your mortage interest and real estate taxes, depreciation or rent, insurance and repairs.  Even having your house cleaned weekly can be a deduction if you can show it is necessary to perform your business.  EX.  I have an online travel business. Most of my business is generated online and I never even know who my customers are much less see them.  However,  I still maintain an office whereby my clients can come and sit down with me for me to help them plan their trips; accordingly, it is necessary for me to keep it clean and nice just in case.  Do you get my drift?

HIRE YOUR SPOUSE AND/OR CHILDREN:  You can also hire your spouse and/or children to work in your home based business and the money you were giving him or her for household expenses and/or allowances become a tax deductible salary.  But, make sure your spouse’s pay is comparable to the industry levels for similar jobs and you set their pay up like a regular payroll both deducting and paying payroll taxes, otherwise the deduction could be disallowed.  

Instead of giving your children an allowance, have them take out the trash, answer the phone, vaccuum and anything else they could do.  Pay them a fixed salary by the hour.  Although the standard deduction is adjusted for inflation annually, unless you pay them an enormous salary it is quite conceivable their income would be tax free.

UTILITIES:  Remember to keep records from your utility bills as a portion of those are tax deductible as well.  Your phone bill is NOT deductible, but you can deduct any long distance bills or long distance flat rate you pay.  Also,  your cell phone is deductible as long as you use it for business and you can justify that simply by putting your cell phone number on your business cards.

VEHICLE EXPENSE:  When you use your personal vehicle for business, your vehicle expenses are deductible as well.  You can either choose actual expense or mileage, but you must continue to use the same method year after year.  Personally, I recommend mileage because mileage is the only record keeping you have to do.   It is advisable to keep a diary in your car and write down all of your mileage and the purpose of every trip.  If while you are out you suddenly remember to a business errand you need to run or you share your business with someone, you are a step ahead of the game.  And, with the mileage deduction being .50 a mile, the amount of the deduction can add up quickly.

NECCESSARY, REASONABLE AND ORDINARY EXPENSES: As a business owner, you can write off all of your expenses that are considered necessary, reasonable and ordinary in the course of conducting your business and pay taxes only on the rest.  When researching a home based business, I suggest you pick a business that is most in line with your interests and lifestyle so that the things you do anyway become a part of your business and therefore the money you already spend becomes a tax deduction.

Example,  my husband and I really like to travel.  Accordingly, we chose to start an online travel business for our home based business.  As Referring Travel Agents, not only are we doing something we enjoy doing, but because travel is our business, most all traveling we do is tax deductible.

As home based travel agents, we can justify even our family vacation as a tax deductible expense.  Everywhere we go, we go with the thought in mind that we are looking at this place for our business.  We take good notes about our likes and dislikes which becomes a part of our permament business file just in case the IRS comes knocking on our door.  We do that for the airline (if we fly), the motels we stay in, the restaurants we eat in, and any places of entertainment we attend.  Not only does this help us on our taxes, but it also helps us to become knowledgable about the industry we are selling and when a client inquires about a particular destination we give them a first hand account.

And the best part is at the end of the year, if our business actually spends more than it brings in, not only do we not have to pay any taxes from our business income,  we can also write off  whatever “loss” there is against the income we make in our full time jobs.  With enough business expenses, we could pay virtually no income tax whatsoever thereby making every day Tax Freedom Day for us.    Think about what that could do for you???

EATING OUT:  Everytime we go out to eat I share my business with the waiter or someone sitting near us which makes our dinner a business expense.  If I can support the expense with documentation, the government will let me deduct 1/2 of the dinner’s cost.  Trust me,  we eat out a lot.

Think about it, I am spending the same dollars I have always spent, its just now I have given them a clear business necessity and they are tax deductible.  You see, as a home based travel agent, I can now take advantage of the same tax opportunities as my friends who own  manufacturing business.  The only difference is they have millions invested in their business and I only have a few hundred invested in mine.  I get to take advantage of the same tax deductions they get to take and soon, I will be generating the same kind of income they are generating. 

Warren Buffet is in a lower tax bracket than most people who live pay check to pay check and yet he makes $170 Million per year.  How do you think he does that?  Simply by incorporating into his life some of the same strategies I am telling you about today.  This is also one of the reasons that Donald Trump has said if he were starting in business today, it would be in multi-level marketing. 

I don’t know about you, but for me it just makes sense.  Money in my pocket goes a lot farther than it does in Uncle Sam’s pocket.  Up until the last few years the average person’s only option was to  pay the taxes.  Now, we have at our disposal the ability to market whatever we want to market around the world.  If for no other reason than the tax benefits, I encourage you to consider starting a home based business today.

Remember, all you have to do to satisfy the IRS is to ”show a pursuit of profit” which can be done simply by having business cards printed up and keeping good records.  But, if you’re like me, once I got started in my home based travel business, I love the business so much that now not only does it provide me with some good tax deductions, but it is also well on its way to providing us with the lifestyle we have always dreamed about. 

If you are looking at a home based business but just don’t know which to choose, let me encourage you to do your research.  Even though we like to travel, before we went into the travel business, I did my homework.  I found out that travel is a $7 trillion a year industry and is growing 23% faster than the global economy.  I also found out that it is the fastest growing commercial internet segment and  is expected to double in the next 10 years.  Because of my research, I know that it won’t take long before I can live the good life selling travel.  I have stopped working for Uncle Sam for at least 3 months each year and selling travel is making a difference in my life.

Everyone goes into business because they have a “why”.  One of your “why’s” should be to lower your tax liability.  Regardless of what business you choose, you will be a better steward of your money than the government will be.  If you haven’t considered a home base business, consider it today because it is a very low-risk, high return method to create personal wealth and to lower your tax burden.

“An expert was called in to fix a broken factory machine. With the superintendent

looking on, the expert assessed the situation, spotted the problem, took out a hammer and

tapped the machine twice in the same spot. The machine started right up. He informed the

superintendent that his bill would be $250. The superintendent was furious. ‘Two hundred and

fifty dollars!’ he shouted. ‘All you did was tap it with your hammer. I want an itemized

statement of the charges on my desk by tomorrow morning!’

“The next day when the superintendent arrived for work, he found the following bill on

his desk:

Tapping with a hammer …….…$ 1

Knowing where to tap…………249

Tota1 $250

“If you know where to tap, it’s easy,” I said. “If you don’t, it’s one of the most difficult

things in the world. The rich get richer because they know where to tap. The poor get poorer
because they don’t

Do you know where to tap?  If not, let me help you.  I want to offer you 2 opportunities
in one.  When you purchase your own online travel website just like Travelocity, Orbitz
and Expedia where you earn 60% or the commissions from all the travel sold on your site,
I will provide you with a marketing system that also provides you with a second streatm
of income.

Think about how many people you know that book their travel online.  What if you could
offer those people a site where they could buy their travel at comparable and many time
a better price than those other sites, who do you think they would purchase their travel from?
YOU OF COURSE. 

How many of those people that travel, travel regularly for business or pleasure?  What if you
could offer them their own travel web site and both you and they could earn commission from
the travel they book on their own site?  Not only can you earn a % of the commission in
addition to what they earn, but my company will pay you a referral fee NEXT WEEK.  That’s
right you can start earning money almost immediately. 

PLUS, every time your Power Team increases by 6, my company will pay you $1,000 and you
don’t have to sponsor all 6.  Everytime your Power Team increases by 100 whether your sponsor
them all or someone else in your power team sponsors them, you earn $10,000.00

Now, the best part is,  if you want to be the expert on ‘WHERE TO TAP”, when you purchase a
travel website at www.SeagleTravel.com, then I will give you a marketing system called Magnetic
Sponsoring which will actually teach you how to draw people to your travel website so you don’t
have to rely just on friends and family. 

And, it will teach you a reproducable system that you can teach others who purchase a website
from you.  Remember, the best way to get what you want is to help others get what they want.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to earn a commission from that site as well. 

So look at what you will be getting:    Not 1 but 2 streams of income. Your very onw travel website
comparable to Travelocity, Orbitz and Expedia where you earn 60% of the commissions from
all the travel purchased on your site.  You will earn money every time you refer someone to the business
and they join.  And you’ll get another site that will teach you how to market your travel website.
When you follow the strategies taught in Magnetic Sponsoring, people will actually contact you
with credit card in hand eager to join your travel business.  Plus, if your prospects decide to purchase
their own MS materials or you decide to provide it for them, like I am for you, you will earn a
commission back from MS. 

Don’t hesitate, go to www.SeagleTravel.com and leave me your e-mail address.  I will contact you
via e-mail with more information about how you can earn money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
whether you are working or playing..
 
Remember, the rich get richer because they know where to tap.  The poor get poorer because they
don’t.  Let me show you where to tap.

If you travel for business or pleasure and book your travel online, doesn’t it just make sense to own your own travel website and earn commission every time you book a hotel room, rental car, airline ticket or some other attraction?  Now you can.  For less than $500.00, you can purchase your own travel website where you can book the same hotel rooms, airline tickets, rental cars and cruiselines as the other online travel websites. We also have special booking engines like golf, honeymoons and flowers.   The only difference between the heavily advertised sites and your site is that when you book on those sites, they send you a confirmation but when you book on your own YTB travel website, YTB will send you a check for 60% of the commissions earned. 

And, when you  tell others about YTB and they purchase a site, YTB will pay you a referral fee.  Plus, every month you have you have 6 people active that you have personally sponsored, your $49.99 monthly hosting fee is refunded.  And every time your team increases by six people and it doesn’t matter if you sponsor them or someone in your team sponsors them,  you earn $1,000.00.  When it increases by 100, you earn $10,000 and you can even earn bonuses of $1,000,000.00. 

Also, as a Referring Travel Agent, you can become eligible for travel agent credentials which enables you to sometimes travel at deeply discounted rates and/or with free upgrades.  And, when you are in the travel business, travel is your business which means almost any traveling you do can be deducted as a legitimate tax deduction, even the family vacation.

Think about this, travel is a $7 Trillion a year industry and is expected to double in the next 10 years.  Travel is growing 23% faster than the global economy and is the fastest growing commercial internet segment.  Everybody loves to travel and 85% of those people book their travel online.  Now you can take advantage of those travel trends and earn serious money.  One gentleman I know went to earning from about $160.00 a month to more than $20,000 a month in a little over 2 years and while these are extraordinary results, many many people are making $1,000, $5,000 even $10,000 each and every month working from the comfort of their home.

One of the major online travel websites just sold for more than $3 Billion for one and anything that can be booked on that site can be booked on your site.  In light of that information, I would say $500.00 is a real bargain.

Go to my website at www.SeagleTravel.com to see what YTB can do for you and to sign up.  If you have any questions, you can call me at               276-686-6063        or e-mail me at cwseagle@embarqmail.com This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Remember, opportunities don’t go away, they just go to someone else.  Don’t let this opportunity go to someone else. The sooner you get signed up the sooner you will start earning 60% of the commissions and get to take advantage of those phenomenal travel discounts and free upgrades.

Your First 24 Hours as a Rep. How to Capitalize on the Marketing Plan.

The biggest reason people fail at any thing is that they never start taking action. The first 90 days in a new business is critical and will usually set the tone for the success most people will have. If they get off to a good start, they increase their chance of success.

Plug into the training provided here, by your sponsor and by your upline team. Continually striving to be the best, is how you become the best. Go for it!

(if you have already been in the business for 90 days - let’s just start again as if today was your First day!)

 

Making a Commitment

Most people that have really made it BIG in this industry will tell you that for them it came down to one thing that made the difference between success and failure… This one thing is: They made a decision and commitment to get it done.

All it takes for you is one decision. The decision that enough is enough and things are going to start changing for you TODAY. You have taken a great step by joining us but there is still more to do. Right now go to your calendar and write on today’s date: “Today is the day that I committed to my business and decided no more excuses.”

By doing this you are deciding that:

• failure or quitting are not options

• success is the only acceptable result

• the naysayers and dream stealers will not stand in your way

• you and your family deserve success

 

DECIDE TO CHANGE YOUR FUTURE AND COMMIT TO BEING THE BEST AT WHAT YOU DO!

 

Viral Marketing or Referral Marketing

Viral Marketing is a marketing technique in which you tell a few people, they get excited about the information and they tell a few, they get excited and tell more and so on and so on. Here is what can happen with Viral Marketing:      

Step 1:  Make a list of 50 people you know and plug into the system to sign up 3 direct to you.

• Out of those 50 we should be able to recruit at least 6 using the tools. You earn $300.00

• Those 6 each make a list of 50 (we help them each get 6)

 

Step 2: After you reached your first team of 6, then Sign up 1 more direct to you to start your Power Team. All of the calculations below are based on the Power team bonus of $1000.00 for every 6 reps and the $50.00 per each rep when they sign up. These figures do not include the $10,000 bonus for every 100 reps, the 50% match from your personal enrolled reps and other overrides and residual commissions you will receive.

• That 1 rep needs to make a list of 50 and we help them get their 3 reps. You earn $100.00 for that 1 rep.
• Those 3 each make a list of 50 (we help the 3 each get 3, that is a total of 9) You earn $1450.00
• Those 9 each make a list of 50 (we help the 9 each get 3, that is a total of 27) You earn $6350.00
• Those 27 each make a list of 50 (we help the 27 each get 3, that is a total of 81) You earn $17,050.00
• Those 81 each make a list of 50 (we help the 81 each get 3, that is a total of 243) You earn $53,150.00
• Those 243 each make a list of 50 (we help the 243 each get 3, that is a total of 729) You earn $157,450.00
• Those 729 each make a list of 50 (we help the 729 each get 3, that is a total of 2187) You earn $474,350.00

 

We do not guarantee results, this is just an illustration of the power of using the warm market and focusing on getting your 3 and then helping those people get their 3. It is a procedure of Learning, Doing and Teaching. To Succeed you MUST Make the list of 50 people and plug into the system.  Anyone with a strong desire can do this it is not that difficult to find a total of 4 people and teach them how to tap into the 7 TRILLION Dollar a year Travel industry.

 

Setting Aside Time

If you have ever had a job, you understand that when your boss wants you at work, you need to be there.

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.

 

Getting Help

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 business. 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 will 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.

 

Basic Fundamentals

You must have a solid foundation on which to build your business.

Understanding why you are doing something, where you see it going and establishing daily habits that lead you toward your end objective is the only way to achieve what you want in life. “WHY” you build your business will be much more important than “HOW” you build your business. If your “WHY” is big enough, we will show you the “HOW” to do it.

Write down and review your “WHY” everyday in order to maintain and grow the passion you brought to your business the moment you decided to become a Distributor. Others will try to steal your dreams or discourage you; the only thing that will save you will be your “WHY.” It will keep you focused on moving forward each day to help you move closer to achieving your personal goals and dreams.

“WHY” you are in this business can and should change as you grow. The bigger your “WHY” the bigger your business will become.

Here are a few examples: “I need to build a college education fund for my kids” or “I want to build a new wing on the children’s hospital” or “I need to pay off my car”. “I will be debt FREE” and I want the freedom to do what I want, when I want, how I want. I am done with having limitations on when I can take a vacation and will no longer except living pay check to pay check. You can see the difference in the magnitude of each “WHY.” However, there is not one “WHY” that is more important than the other. That is because each “WHY”, each goal, each dream is yours, it’s personal. Identify “WHY” you are doing the business and make sure it is real to you. Don’t create your “WHY” based on someone else’s expectations, it is yours.

Take some time to clarify your “Why” and write it down. Do it now, it really is that important. Then, immediately put it where you can see it everyday.

 

Establishing Daily Routines

Establishing Daily Routines is simply making a plan for what you do each day in building your business. Without stability, there can be no growth. Your daily routines are your stability. Make them fun and stick to them!

• First and foremost, you need to expose your business to new people EVERY DAY! Consistent and persistent action will help you realize your dreams. Make this your first priority. Set up specific time each day to work your business. Set up an hour or two a day or 5 to 10 hours per week. For example, work Tuesday and Thursday for 2 hours and on Saturday for 1 hour. The most important activity is exposure. EXPOSURE IS EVERYTHING!

Expose - This is the step that you use to tell others that you are in business. You want to get their attention so they will take a closer look at your opportunity or booking engine. It might be an online ad, offline ad, flyer, magnetic sign, conference call, Travel Party etc., that directs them to this system.

 

Action Plan

We have been able to help others, just like you, to achieve their goals. And now it is your turn.

We have laid out an initial action plan to help you get your business started. This is a GUIDE to help you map a strategy for your success in your business. While this Action Plan is by no means mandatory, it is a valuable resource to help you in building your business and in gathering momentum. You will soon be on your way to fulfilling your dreams.

Your first 90 days are critical and usually set the standard for your business success. This is why it is so critical to start taking action IMMEDIATELY.

Setting Goals

The First Goal is MAKE a LIST OF 50 People and create a Burning Desire to succeed.

This list should be the first 50 that come to mind, do not prejudge or think they will never want to do anything like this, you never know until they see for themselves. Just remember everyone loves to travel and you are doing them a great service by informing them about this great opportunity.

The Second Goal is to get to your Power Team. To accomplish this you must personally sign up a minimum of 3 reps directly to you. After that you just need 3 more to form a team of 6. You can personally sign up all 6 or you can help your 3 each get one, it doesn’t matter how you get the 6 just do it as quick as possible. Once you get your first team of 6 you only need to personally sign up 1 more person to move into your POWER TEAM. Now your business will get EXCITING! You want to really focus on building your power team, this is where the money illustrated on the first page comes into play. You must help everyone in your power team GET THREE and teach them how to help their people. It will still benefit you to help the people in your first team because you make a 50% match on their earnings. It is important to find out who your upline is because your first team is one of your uplines power team. Make contact with that person and make sure they are working with your first team so you can focus on your Power Team.

One Challenge you face with certain goals is you can not control whether someone signs up as a rep or books travel thru your site. It is always a good idea to set different types of goals. I prefer to set great big goals that are very exciting and then break it down into reasonable, measured goals that are achievable. It is great to have a goal “in 6 months I will have 100 people in my power team and receive the $10,000.00 bonus plus all the other bonuses that equate to $31,000.00!” However, you must break it down to focus on finding 3 people then a team of 6, then 1 more. Keep it Simple and teach others so you can duplicate your efforts and you will eventually reach your long term goals.

Get Crystal clear on what you want to accomplish, you must have a definiteness of purpose. Set goals like:

These goals are specific, something you can control, something you can measure with a time frame in which to complete them and do not rely on someone else’s effort, just yours. Your goals should be a stretch but also attainable. If you don’t ever hit your goal, you will quit trying. If it is too easy, you will get bored and your business certainly won’t grow as fast as it could. Think of where you want to be, who you want to become, how you want to live a year from now. To get there you must act now and focus on your goals. If you persevere and keep on keeping on, you will eventually accomplish what it is you want.

You should start out with a lower number and work your way up. Make sure you reward yourself for every goal accomplished no matter how small or big! Try to continually raise this number until you reach your optimum level. This will drive your business. You will eventually equate a ratio to how many people sign up or order versus how many people you exposed this to. This in turn will tell you how many people you need to expose in order to get the number of people enrolling or booking Travel where you want it.

Just like your WHY, write your goals out on paper & review them daily, wherever your focus is, that is the direction you are headed. Setting Goals is very important. Here’s why: If you aim at nothing, guess what you will hit?

Step 6 - During your first week or two in the business, listen to all the conference calls. This way you know what is available and where to plug your prospect in based on their needs and wants.

Step 7 – Get very familiar with your ytb back office. To access your back office you must go to and sign in where it says Member Login: Make sure you know how to use the ATM, simply add names and emails of people you know who would like to learn about your great Travel deals. The ATM system will automatically send out a Newsletter full of great deals and steals. You have just started a new business so spend some time learning how to get it up and running properly. It will not happen without effort on your part!

 

Above all else: If you need help, ASK FOR IT.

5 Keys To Success

 

5 Ways to Plug In

Your Sponsor - Your sponsor gets paid on your efforts and part of their role is to train and support. You should be in contact with your sponsor regularly. This should be almost daily when you are getting started. They are their to learn from and they gain by helping you. If you need help, ask for it. The Upline Team plays a very important role in the training and support especially if your sponsor is relatively new. Ask them how they grew their business. If you want to make BIG money, sometimes you have to find someone making it and copy what they did.

Travel Party – This is one of the best ways to get a group of people together have fun and blow up your business.

Training/Conference Calls - If you are going to be successful, you need to be constantly learning. These calls are great tools to learn from the company or other leaders in the company. Find out when the next CRTA event is and attend it. This event will Certify you and is very important. Ask your Sponsor about it!

Local Events - This is another way to connect and learn from others. If you can get involved with a local group, you can feed off their excitement and work together to build an area, even share costs for renting space for meetings, etc.

Company RED CARPET TOUR and Conferences - Get to see first hand what the Company is all about and how solid the leadership and foundation really is. Nothing can replace a good annual conference. New ideas, techniques, training and tools to help you grow your business to new heights. It also gives you a great opportunity to get around the corporate people, other leaders and other distributors.

 

5 Beliefs to Make You Unstoppable

These fundamental beliefs are absolutely critical to your success.

1. Develop a belief in the PRODUCT.
   We are offering people a GREAT PRODUCT! We have our own Online Travel Agency, Travelocity is our partner, We offer the same Cruise Booking Deals as American Express. People are paying close to $10,000.00 to have their own Franchise and $700.00 a month for just Cruises alone and they are getting the same technology and deals we have. If you were to go out on your own and try to develop everything YTB gives you, you would have to invest MILLIONS! We are among the top three agencies that book Carnival Cruses and will be NUMBER ONE soon! Use the product and “become a product of the product” This allows you to promote from your heart, NOT your head. If you promote from your head, you’re a sales person.

2. Develop a belief in the COMPANY.
   Get around the people who are the company (i.e. top distributors, management team, etc.). Go to corporate functions, listen to conference calls and check out the leaders.

3. Develop a belief in the INDUSTRY. (Network marketing) Learn about the industry and why more and more big name companies are using Network Marketing. Discover the amazing advantages of Network Marketing and read about the success of many others who have made this their career.

4. Develop a belief in OTHERS.
   Believe they can do it and instill it in them. Understand that most people want what you want, a better quality of life than they are currently living. But always remember to value people, NOT money. You can always make more money but relationships are easy to lose and hard to make.

5. Develop a belief in YOURSELF.
   As a child, didn’t we believe we could do anything. Well, guess what, you can. Believe you deserve it and that you’re worthy of it and let’s go get it done.

Once you have these 5 beliefs, you are unstoppable! Your confidence will show as you approach others about the product and/or the opportunity.

5 Things a New Person Must Do

• Get Mad / Get Excited – If you are unsatisfied with life, get mad about where you are and get excited about where you are going. People are more likely to listen because of your enthusiasm than your knowledge.

• Invest in Your Education / Training - it is the only investment that pays you FOREVER! The marketplace pays for value. How do you increase your value? By improving your skills. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help. You should always work harder on yourself then anything else, including your career!

• Need To Go To Work - fill your pipeline with prospects. Expose at least 5 people per day on average. People will not know you are in business unless you tell them.

• Never Give Up, Never Give In, Never Ever Quit - this cannot be an option. You must be 100% committed because this changes your posture. Only if you stick it out and don’t quit, can you succeed. You can only grow through trials and tribulations.

• Tell Your Story - why you got involved, what really drew your interest, where you see things going, etc. Facts Tell, Stories Sell.

“If you help enough people get what they want, you can have everything you want.” - Jim Rohn and I know Zig Ziglar says the same thing and these guys know what they are talking about!

 

Exposure

This is how you are going to interest others in finding out about your product and/or opportunity.

Key Point: The more people you expose your business to the quicker it will build and the quicker you will find leaders that want to do the same. Exposure really is EVERYTHING! It is really important for you to understand that people are not going to just walk up to you and ask if you are in business.

It is also important for you to understand that there are many ways to exposure your business and you can surely find a way or ways that work for you.

I look at it this way, if you were to open a traditional Travel Agency you would have agents working for you right? Well this is no different except your agents have more invested and you capitalize on a true win, win relationship. The great thing is we have no walls on our Travel Agency, since everything is online there are no limits to what we can accomplish. If we had a traditional business we would have major constrictions on how many people we could hire and would have to invest much more money to keep things running.

You want as many reps as possible to work with and for you. Since you never know who will or won’t do this it is very important to talk to as many people as possible. Take Massive Action to get Massive Results. Anyone with a strong desire can do this.   Find out what is working for your upline, work on your 30 second presentation where you let people know briefly what is going on to catch their attention and then let the tools like the sizzle call 512-505-6870 or conference calls or travel parties or meetings do the work for you. Be EXCITED have fun and just plug people in to the system!

Included are examples of letters or emails you can send out.

Warm Market Calling

Hello (their name),

I am extremely excited about something and I wanted to share it with you. I’ve just become aware of an incredible business opportunity. I’ve looked for the downside but I don’t see it. I don’t want to bias your opinion by telling you anything more about it so will you check out a web site:

 (your website)

Now, (their name), it is alright if you decide you are not interested. I wanted to share this with you so, in a couple of years, when you find out that I am doing well, you cannot blame me for NOT sharing it with you.

I will call you later to see if this is something you want more information on. O.K?

I think I’ve blundered into something that could pay us a residual income for the rest of our life, but I want your opinion. I’ve looked for the downside, but I don’t see it. I don’t want to bias your opinion by telling you anything more about it so will you just check out one website and then let me know if it is something you want to know more about?

I’ve discovered something I’m really excited about and wanted to see if you would investigate it as a business opportunity. I’ve found a way to make several thousand dollars a month from home. Please check out my website at /(your website) and if it sounds interesting, call me back.

Any of the above the scripts can be modified for you to meet your prospect and do a presentation in their home, at lunch or over the internet from your personal web-site or the corporate site. Practice with someone at first until you get comfortable. Record yourself and play it back and keep working on it.

 

The YTB Guarantee

YTB GUARANTEES YOU WILL EARN $6,000 in commissions with the use of this dynamic magazine. If you don’t earn at least $6,000 in the next twelve months, YTB will make up the difference. That’s how confident YTB is that this magazine will work for you. All you need to do to take advantage of this incredible offer is:

 

Enroll for the YTB Success Guarantee with Success from Home.

At the beginning of every month, 25 magazines (or more if you desire) will be shipped to your doorstep.

 

Distribute 5 magazines weekly, a minimum of 25 magazines per month.

Use the YTB memory jogger to help develop your list of prospects. After giving the magazine to your prospect, enter their name, phone number, e-mail address and follow-up appointment time by midnight CST each Thursday in your YTB Back Office.

Prior to handing out the magazine, make sure you staple your business card (with your contact information only, no income or travel savings claims) or affix a label with your contact information on the cover. Include your travel web site address, not the marketing site (www.YTBTravel.com/name of your site).

 

Follow these Simple Steps to Success

1. Introduce your prospect to the magazine:

“Name, could I ask you a question? WFA (Wait For Answer) Do you like to take vacations? WFA. As you extend the magazine toward them with the face up, say, “Well, this magazine, Success from Home, is all about vacations and how to make money in the travel industry. It’s available nationwide at newsstands like Barnes & Noble and Borders, but I’d like to give you this free copy to read.”

While opening magazine to the Dual Disk say, “I’d like to point out a couple of things. The first is the Dual Disk that tells the YTB story about people just like you and me who have improved their lifestyle (or Financial picture) and are spending more time with their families. I’m working with the Director featured on page XXX. (Prior to handing out the magazine, use a yellow highlighter to highlight a couple of sentences from the article. Use your 1st upline Director) “See what it says about Directors Name” (or “See what Directors Name says,” whichever is appropriate.) Then read the highlighted text to prospect. After reading the text, fold over a corner of the page so they can find it later.

2. Schedule the all-important follow-up:

“I’ll follow up with you to see what you liked best about what you saw in the magazine. Would tomorrow evening or the following morning be better for you?” WFA.  “Could I get your e-mail address and the best phone number to reach you?” WFA. I’ll call you then.”

If your prospect says “no” to any of the questions or is reluctant to give you their contact information, say, “YTB pays me $20 to hand out each magazine, but only if I have a phone number and e-mail address to go along with your name. Can you help me out?”

 

3. Complete your follow-up:

“NAME, have you had a chance to look through the magazine or watch the DVD? WFA. (If they say no, see the text below) What did you like best about what you saw? WFA. Agree with whatever they said (make a mental note because the prospect just told you what their hot-button is) then ask, “Would you like some more information?” WFA Then follow your personal action plan developed with your PowerTeam Leader.

If they have not looked at anything yet, say, “If you can find 2 minutes today to read an article on page 19 called “Forecast for the Future”, then I will follow up with you tomorrow at the same time.

 

Sending Tapes, Videos, CDs etc.

You can send tapes, CD’s, videos, post cards, etc., to your warm market but we recommend using this as a last resort. If they have internet access, the internet should be the primary means to get them information because it is the least expensive and fastest way to get it to them. It is expensive sending these items through the mail so I would make sure the person was interested and made a commitment to go through it as soon as they receive it. This would be a good method for those people that you don’t really know personally but you have contact information for -OR- for people that are local (across the street or around the corner).

 

Here is an example for local warm market:

When to Do a 3-way call:

When you are new to the business, three-way calling can help teach you how to invite your prospect to listen to or watch information regarding your business. They are also useful in teaching new people how to follow up properly and very effective in helping answer your prospect’s questions AFTER they have seen information about your business and are interested. It can also be used to introduce a new distributor to their upline and show the support that is available to them.

Here is an example to transition someone into a three-way call:
“I am new at this so I’m going to get someone on the line that can answer your questions. Hold on for a second.”

“That is a great question, I’m not sure but let me get someone to answer that for you while we are on the phone. Hold on for a second”

If they are already part of your team, “Hold on, I would like to introduce you to someone that can help you if you can’t get in touch with me…”

 

Live Conference Calls

The Live Conference Calls are a type of presentation conducted by the company and leaders in the company. The presentations are done over the phone for you, all you have to do is get your prospect the information about when the call is and the call in number (including the PIN). There is a complete schedule on the last page. A great Conference call to plug people into is EVERY Sunday through Thursday Night at 9:30 pm EST call 212-461-5800 pin 0793#

Make sure you schedule an appointment to follow up after the call. If you have the time and really feel your prospect is qualified, you could call them and 3 way them into the conference call. This ensures they remember and are present but it also allows you to remain on the phone with them after the call. During the time after the call you can answer your prospects questions, find out if they liked what they heard and possibly 3 way them to your sponsor to enroll. If they cannot make it to the live conference calls due to conflicts in their schedule, you will need to use one of the other presentation techniques.

 

Online Presentation

The Online Presentation is available on your Vacation Media site and your YTB.com site. The presentation is available to all your prospects that have internet connections and is done for you, all you have to do is get your prospect the link information.

Make sure you schedule an appointment to follow up after they have viewed the presentation. Also, encourage your prospect to write down questions while they are viewing the presentation so when you do call them back, you can answer all their questions and help them get started. You may also need to 3 way them with your sponsor if they have questions you can’t answer or to introduce them to your sponsor if they decide to get started.

 

Two-On-One Presentation

A two-on-one presentation is a presentation that is done with you, your sponsor (upline) and your prospect. This can be done over the phone or by meeting in person ( if everyone is local).

To do a two-on-one presentation over the phone or in person, try to arrange a time that will work for everyone involved. At first, your sponsor (upline) will do most of the talking while you are learning. The more you do the more this should transition into you doing the presentation and your sponsor just answering your prospects questions. Eventually, you will become the sponsor (upline) and then be doing presentations with your new members.

The two-on-one presentations can be very powerful and accomplishes a few things. First, your prospect sees that their are other people involved and committed to helping them with their business. They get their questions answered by someone that has been around the business for a while. It might not be your testimonial that gets them, it might be your sponsor’s or vice versa. The prospect sees you working together as a team. The two-on-one presentation also provides invaluable training for you as you learn how to conduct your own presentation and handle different questions (objections).

 

Home Meetings/ Travel Parties!

Plan a day each month to have a meeting and commit to them for at least 3 months. Invite everyone to the “Grand Opening” or “Launch” of your new business. You can even make up personal invitations. Make your prospect feel honored to attend. Tell them you are limiting it to (whatever number you choose) and you need them to RSVP to make sure you don’t over-invite. You can also invite people by phone. Use the following guidelines when inviting:

Hello (their name), this is (your name) and I’m calling to invite you (and your wife/husband) to my new business Grand Opening Reception this (day) evening at (scheduled time) at my home – (your address). I am limiting this to (number of people) people and have arranged a special guest speaker — so come a few minutes early so you won’t miss anything. Do you think you’ll be able to make it?  If they ask what it’s about, say It’s my Grand Opening of my new Online Travel agency, that is why we are having the reception. If you can’t come, I will call you afterwards and fill you in. (DO NOT get into a discussion of what the business is all about that is the purpose of the Reception.) If they can come, ask them to bring something -- like a bag of ice, paper cups, or a bottle of Coke (something simple and inexpensive). This gives them even more of a reason to make sure they come.

If you get an answering machine, use the same message except end it with: Call me at (your number) as soon as you get this message to let me know that you’ll be there!

If the person can not make the day and time, just say “Darn, I really wanted you to be there. Look, I have quite a few people to get back to… lets schedule a time later this week when I can fill you in”

If you do not hear from some people within 3 days of the event, call them again “I’m calling to get your RSVP to my Grand Opening Reception this (day) - I need a head count for planning purposes. Oh, and it would be helpful if you could pick up that bag of ice (or a bottle of coke…) on your way over.” If you get the machine again, leave your number for a call back.

Here is information from Juliet St.John. She started out with nothing and is now making more money in a month then most people make a year: Have a Grand Opening Travel Party!

To expose your friends to the fact that you own a Travel Agency and can show them how to save money on their travel. If you just paid $30,000.00 to buy a travel agency, how big would your Grand Opening be?  Just because your YTB agency cost a lot less doesn’t mean you shouldn’t treat it the same!

1. Set up a time for your Sponsor or Power Team leader to come to your home to help you host your Grand Opening.

2. You’ll want to have some vacation music playing & some nice pictures and Hawaiian lei’s (you can get these at the Dollar Store - a dozen for $1 at times) .  Have fun and get creative on this part.  Get people seeing the vision of what we do.

3. You can  start calling all your friends, family, relatives, neighbors, co-workers & anyone you “do business with” (ie. your mechanic, barber, manicurist, dentist, doctor, accountant, lawyer, etc) and inviting them out to your house on the predetermined date of your Grand Opening Party.  You should make a list of 100 people you are going to invite. After contacting all 100, about 30 will tell you they will be there….most of them will be lying ! Not on purpose, but because “life” will get in the way…their Aunt is in the hospital, their baby is sick, they had to work late, their car broke down, etc. You can count on about 10 of the 30 “confirmed” guests to show up, so if you want 20 guests, you will need about 60 confirmed ! Make sure to call them all again the day BEFORE your Grand Opening to “reconfirm” (so they haven’t forgotten about it).

4. Make sure you have a T.V. and DVD set up that can be seen by everyone so that the presentation will go well and everyone will get a chance to see the screen and hear the volume.

5. Make sure all animals, children & phones are put in their place to not distract from the presentation.

6. Invite people over 30 minutes before start time—as most people are usually late.

7. Tell them about the free-Mini Vacation that they will receive for just coming to view this. 

8. Tell them to ALWAYS bring friends with them.  This increases your chances of showing this to more people… Remember, that’s all this is, just exposures.  How many can you expose this week or month.

9. Make sure you have 2 or 3 different Travel Party dates set up.  Not everyone can make one certain date.  Before getting off the phone have them booked into one of the Parties. 

10. Hand out the Travel Survey and have all your guests fill it out to get their Free Mini Vacation (do this before the DVD, so you can look through them and see their travel habits)

11. Starting the Presentation—Ask them, “If time and money were no object, where would you go on a dream vacation?”  Share your dream vacation destinations as well, and get the video or presentation started.  I TURN OFF THE DVD RIGHT AFTER THE PRICE AND BEFORE THE COMPENSATION !!!        Have Fun!!!

12. Closing the Presentation - When you finish , call your PowerTeam leader or “expert” and they will tell your guests: “We find that people usually fit one of four categories when they watch the presentation:

1) They love the vacation and travel perks.  2) They want to save money on their taxes.

3) They are interested in making some extra income.  4) Or, they want all three of these benefits!” 

 

Otherwise you ask them what they liked best about what they saw and heard. Your Sponsor or Upline will try to help you every step of the way.  You may receive Flyers to promote the party and Travel Surveys the guests can fill out and receive their FREE getaway.
