YTB Travel of Edwardsville, Il. has announced that it will be one of the sponsors of the Super Bowl in Miami, February 4th, 2007!
This aggressive move highlight's YTB's intent to become the world's largest Internet Travel Agency by 2011. They currently have over 60,000 home based travel agents, and have projected adding another 100,000 in 2007.
The rapid growth of YTB, can be attributed to many innovative and even unique features of their business. Their hugely successful business model allows their agents to both receive passive income from their Internet Travel Agencies and; as in the insurance industry, to build marketing organizations that recruit other agency owners and receive a commission on what they make.These commissions can approach 50%!
YTB states that "Thousands of their agents are making hundreds of dollars per month and hundreds of agents are making thousands per month!" In addition to the commissions, agents can make bonuses ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,000 for attaining certain sales goals. The income opportunity is truly unlimited.
This novel marketing and compensation plan of YTB is a direct result of the fact that the founders and owners of the company, J. Lloyd Tomer and his son, Scott Tomer, were instrumental in building from scratch, the world's larget insurance company, Primerica before it was sold to CitiGroup.They fully intend to repeat their success in the $7 Trillion travel market.
YTB takes a page from the franchise world by systematizing the training, support and daily operations of the business. Agents do not have to be concerned about these vital, yet burdensome aspects of being in their own business that derail so many would be entrepreneurs.Once agents have built their marketing organization to a certain point, they receive company paid employee benefits, such as profit sharing, health and life insurance, a network marketing industry exclusive.They have also instituted an innovative, entry level marketing plan which guarantees participants a minimum income of $6,000 per year ($500/Mo). They simply distribute 1 copy per day of the January issue of the magazine, "Success From Home," which is devoted 100% to YTB.
Of course, much of the company's meteroic rise is due to the fact that instead of the $10,000 price tag on home based travel opportunities from American Express or SeaMaster; for example, that limit agency owners to booking cruises only, YTB charges only $500 and $50/Mo. for a full service Internet Travel Agency on from which even concerts and sporting event tickets can also be purchased.
In another nod to the insurance industry, agents are allowed to join YTB and to begin earning commissions at no cost!
Once the YTB Super Bowl ads run, the world, at least the home based business portion of it will beat a path to YTB's door. You should get there now and make sure it is your door they run through, so you can collect the Toll!
