Wow, where to start on this gem? Trump? Rules? Training? 24-7 Availability--try to call for help at 9pm at night! The reason you are "powered" by Travelocity is because YTB signed up for the free program--just like ANYONE can do. You are not powered by or endorsed by ANY government agency. Perhaps you are thinking that because you have a link to the State Department it means something more than it is?
traveling moms has left a new comment on your post "Just An Opinion From An Average Joe":
what is so wrong with people earning a living for there self i am sure corporate america don't care about you. So don't down one group the 90% of people that did not earn a dime paid because that what they wanted to do nobody twisted there arm. read my blog about what donald trump said he endorses network marketing how do you think he started don't believe the hype. YTB agents are given rules what to do and not do. YTB agents are suppose to attend a training course. YTB agents have support 24/7. YTB have sponsor calls everyday of the week and training on the phone and online. If YTB was so bad why are they powered by Travelocity and Hotels.com and Tickets Now and Passports hey that is government is it or not. That's why the kansas city chief bought a website. www.chiefstravel.com that is why they have non profit charity groups with websites.
Wow all of this and we are scamming the organization you need to worry about is Traverus they charge little money to get in which means anybody who just want to play travel agents will join. At least YTB charges 500.00 to ween out the junk. That is a plus in my eyes and I will pay 500 anyday. YTB been around 8 years. The people who are complaining did not start until they see YTB as a threat because we are having a Billion dollar in travel this year. Now they want to complain. That is why they are not complaining about Traverus because they have about 4000 people and nobody cares.
People out here don't have jobs getting layed off. YTB gives health insurance for the people. If you can own a website and your family can be on you downline weather you book a trip or not you get a check every Monday. So I don't see what is the problem they are not hurting nobody.
All the So called Travel Agents complain to Orbiz, Cheaptickets, Travelocity they stole your business. To big to pick on. People can book there own travel without paying a fee to a travel agent they can call a confirm there plans there self. So if they are doing it anyway why not do it on your own website and make a commission.
About commission any fool will no the total price of the trip is not commission it is a percentage. So Carnival percentage is 17% of the total for everybody not just YTB for travel agents too. So you get 60% of the commission which travel agents keeps the whole commission and charge you a fee for using them.
Wake up people you paid 1200 for a cruise and you can leave with 144 dollars it better then nothing you started with. Don't let these travel agents steer you wrong read my blog and learn the business and join it will be the best thing that happened to you and your family. www.daniellemangum.blogspot.com
$500 to ween out the junk...well if this is what you get for $500, YTB needs to up the price tenfold! And they have been around for 7 years--know your company! And if you are a wagering woman--and I assume you are because you are continuing to pay YTB $50 a month for future riches--do you want to bet on the billion dollars in travel this year?
YTB does not give you health insurance, You can buy into a crap policy (most of the folks in YTB may not have insurance at all so this is a true benefit), and if you are a director or can sell an impossible (for a YTB RTA) amount of travel there is another policy. But as their attorney pointed out may be illegal. But they ignored that admonition.
So, if I sign up my family as a downline (I have three kids) that will guarantee me a check every Monday regardless if I sell any travel at all? Wow, now THAT is a good deal and despite all the false information presented at each YTB meeting I have attended, I have never heard that one.
So Carnival is paying 17% to YTB and EVERYONE ELSE. Maybe you ought to let EVERYONE ELSE know that. And you might as well let Carnival know that you are publishing their confidential commission levels. I am sure they would appreciate it! As for your math skills, as my son's Algebra teacher says, "Please show your work!"
But, as you did say in your comment, I do encourage everyone to visit your site to see how much more information you can impart on us all. Hopefully you have commenting open and offer a forum where people can express their opinions as we do here.

Her spelling are so poor that you can't help but be embarassed for her. How can she expect anyone to take her seriously when she doesn't even have the proper structure of a sentence nailed down? Perhaps some adult education classes would have been a better use of that $50.00 per month.
ReplyDeleteI am not trying to be mean, but this is a prime example of why YTB is such an embarassment to the industry. If she writes like this on her blog and when she is trying to make a point, can you imagine what the information that she gives out to clients looks like?
Katie;
ReplyDeleteShut the hell up and tell please inform your “Journalist” that HE needs a basic spelling course.
Agewncy?
ween?
And?
Kinow?
Crnival?
And that just THIS “professional” post. The one finger you are pointing at YTB has 5 more point right back at you.
Moron…
"The one finger you are pointing at YTB has 5 more point right back at you."
ReplyDeleteYour hands have 6 fingers??
Ween was the word used by the YTB agent quoted.
ReplyDeleteJohn, looks like you and a few others touched a nerve with ole Doogie Howser.
ReplyDeleteReally, I think we are all guilty of an occasional typo. However, TravelingMoms( is she more than one person?), doesn't even have the proper use of a question mark figured out. Who is going to take business advice from someone who can't even structure a sentence?
ReplyDeletePerhaps YTB should add Hooked On Phonics to the glorious training schedule.
I would think that her blog would drive more people away than it would recruit. She certainly doesn't come across as intelligent or successful. Her blog doesn't give her, or YTB and credibility at all.
The comment about Donald Trump is bogus too. There have been claims that he recommended MLM on the Oprah show, the Letterman show, and even as far back as the Johnny Carson show. Please see http://themillionairesclub.info/mythBusters.asp for info disputing that this ever happened.
ReplyDeleteAll this proves is that YTB preys on those with little to no education, and those that are gullible enough to believe the hype.
ReplyDeleteAn occasional typo is acceptable. Grammar and spelling in the above column is just plain unacceptable.
I agree with Scam. YTB recruits those who have little education, lower socio economic scale, those in desperate financial trouble. These people don't understand what they are reading. I actually had someone from YTB email me and was talking about booking a group on RCCL. And, how RCCL just loves them. Hello? Where have you been?
ReplyDeleteReally? thanks for the corrections, they have been made. The post was not done in advance as most are. It was done at the last minute before I took my kids to school and headed off to a PT appointment.
ReplyDeleteTypos aside, my posts are factual. Not boldfaced lies and mistruths!
Good God. I know I have always been one to point out spelling and grammar errors (that's just the teacher in me coming out, can't help it), but this is just atrocious. If this person wants to be taken seriously as a business person, they really should invest in some basic, remedial English courses.
ReplyDeleteTo the meat of what the person was trying to say, well, this is just another case of yet another ytber who doesn't have their facts straight.
Wow, Ole Larry has been aweful silent since letting the cat out of the bag. In the mortal words of "Where's Waldo"...."Where's Larry?"
ReplyDeleteNot so wordy anymore are you Larry?
I think Larry is worried YTB corp will find out who he is and disable his account.
