I swear YTB should dump travel and go into the weight loss biz. Change the name to Your Toned Bod.
ReplyDeleteThe snake oil salesman is in the house.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you have people at him at your place of business so don't do that. Every job has unclassy people and you no who they are. I believe this blog is dedicating in bashing YTB because you either work for another travel company or you are a travel agent that don't like YTB anyway. Be honest with the people come out of the closet.
ReplyDeleteGo to my blog for the facts people Why is warren buffet the second millionaire in network marketing read that and stop listening to this fool
Well you do all this YTB bashing but there are so many travel host for you work at home business you need no experience at all one company mtravel.com so I could join and make up a travel name and sell travel with some online training of course. Then I will be an official travel agent. But wait I have to pay annual fees and monthly fees. And all I get is commission from travel.
ReplyDeleteOkay you can join YTB and do the same thing for one time fee. A monthly fee for hosting your website. But If you tell three friends and they tell three more you can have the website free. And to top it off you can earn a 1000 dollar bonus check and a 10,000 dollar bonus check wow I see why this is a bad bad business. Two businesses in one. Money coming from both businesses one you get when you book trips. And the other you get for Infinity. Wow I can see how bad that really is to join YTB. Let me run for the hills

Wow I am so mad I got in that business called YTB. That only cost me a one time fee and 49 a month. What the hell was I thinking.
Travel with traveling mom.
YTB is the way to go people you better believe it don't let nobody stop you from making you own fortune.
I did not realize that postage overnights, Apollo access, 24 hour service, exchange fees,and IATAN cards and so forth were all included with YTB. Since you "tell the truth" why don't you suggest to YTB that they promote that---they will get a lot of takers if that is true.
ReplyDeleteIn case you missed it, Montrose is offering training on travel--not recruiting (been to a CRTA or First Class training?) and they are in the business of selling travel. Not supporting people on a higher level of a recruiting pyramid!
