Headed to Alaska :)

On Saturday I leave for my big trip to Alaska. We are going to fly out of Minneapolis to Seattle. Our ship will leave Seattle on Sunday morning and our route is set for Glacier Bay, Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Vancouver and back to Seattle.

I am pleased to be traveling with my parents. My stepfather is getting older and my parents have always wanted to go on this trip. Now that I am in the travel business I have been able to find them a great trip. They asked me to go along as well. What an honor!

Of course it is much more reasonably priced to go to Alaska right now. Why is that?

1) Economy - If you have money right now then it is a great time to travel. If you have a job and didn't overspend over the past 5 years then you are in good shape to enjoy great deals.

2) H1N1- This was a scare for the travel industry this summer. Many people changed plans or delayed plans. It should be a concern across our globe, but I personally won't be changing my travel plans because of the flu. We can all take measures to protect ourselves.

3) More Opportunities - There seems to be more boats and more travel in the Alaska area. Competition appears to have dropped the prices somewhat. However, ships are always retiring and changing ports...so don't wait!

So if you are looking for a GREAT trip to Alaska. Come back, enjoy my pictures from when I return, dream big and contact me at Audrey@yourtravelpartners.com.  I will set you up with a great trip.  You can also let me know if you are looking for a business opportunity. We can talk about what the travel industry can do for you!

Just 4 and Pay No More!

Anyone who makes four sales now have their monthly fees waived! Best part is that you can either choose to join the rep business or just become a retail customer of  my home-based travel company.  A retail customer is defined as an LTC or dream vacation member.

We can all agree not everyone wants to be involved in the network marketing business. My company’s solution to this is to provide an opportunity for retail customers. They will now have an incentive to refer other retail customers.

Now, any time a retail customer (someone who’s purchased either the dream vacation membership or LTC, or both) refers four retail customers, their monthly fees will be waived. Retail customers can “Get Four and Pay No More!” When they make those referrals, their Enroller gets the $50 Direct Commission!

As a rep of the company this provides new benefits. Reps can grow their team in ways never before possible even without ever sponsoring a single Representative!

Contact me at Audrey@yourtravelpartners.com and be a part of the future of travel! It's never been easier to make a living...living!

Calling ALL Travel Agents…

Do you have to be a travel agent to join this home-based travel business? No, but here are the reasons why existing travel agents should consider this business...

On the travel side of our business we have partnered with a company that has been in the travel industry for over 20 years. They chose to partner with us simply to get national exposure and put their travel agents to work. In addition to them, last month a number of agents from Gulliver’s Travel Agency joined my home-based travel company. Also, I was informed a number of agents from Carlson Wagonlit agency joined early last year. Why are existing travel agents joining this business?

  • Referral Bookings: It is a great partnership. Agents with earned credentials can take the test to become Travel Reservation Specialists (TRS). The TRS supports the LTC’s and their customers. What does this mean? More business for an independent agent! They will arrange leisure travel with customers from a variety of sources and will earn additional income from these referrals.
  • Multiple Streams of Income: So now travel agents not only earn income from their own clients, but also referral clients. In addition, agents can sell our packaged membership and trips. Not only can they sell them, but all the work is done for them when you send the client on one of these vacations. Therefore it is an easy profit with a residual income. Speaking of residual income, now the agent can also sell business memberships to others. There is a strong support system on the network marketing side of the business too. Why would they want to do this? The more LTC's, the more referral business each TRS has access too. Double and triple the income opportunties!
  • Home-based Working Environment: Even in today’s market, many agents are required to come into the office to book travel for their clients. We offer a home-based travel business opportunity for existing travel agents.
  • Preferred Customer Benefits: Anyone and everyone who registers for preferred customer status receives preferred travel benefits through our personalized travel website. Everyone should register, but it is a great benefit to offer customers.

Access to Price Comparison Service (refer to website)

Exclusive Access to Rovia Preferred last-minute deals

$200,000 airline accident insurance per ticket (refer to website)

Bargains on travel to your favorite destinations

Specials customized to your preferences

Latest News on travel industry updates and alerts

Bottom line, joining my home-based travel company is a great way for existing travel agents to parlay their skills into a successful and thriving home-based travel business. Stay in the industry you love. Watch your referral business grow, gain multiple streams of income, and work in your pajamas.

What’s a BTA?

The next opportunity you have with my company is to become a BTA (Booking Travel Agent). Now if you already have experience as a travel agent, you may be able to bypass this step with a test. However, let’s say you have always dreamed of working as a travel agent. Now you desire to run a home-based travel agency. The BTA training is your next step.

You will take 10 classes to become proficient in the travel industry each class is offered online and you will take a final exam at the end of each class. Now even though it is online, there is an instructor available for you to email for Q&A. I personally have taken these courses. I was able to get through them in about 2 months. I work a full-time job outside of this business, so that was in my own time. A person can work through them as quickly or as slowly as they desire.

After the 10 classes are completed, you will then take one final test. Again, I passed it with flying colors. Not that I am bragging, I just want you to know that it can be done by someone who has not had a travel agency background.

Do you have to do this to be a part of the business? Heck no! You can stay focused on selling travel directly through your automated travel website and present the opportunity of the travel business to others. A large percentage of the people in this business do just that. They enjoy dream vacations, travel with friends and family, and promote the business opportunity. The choice is yours…

What’s the advantage to BTA? Your commissions go up from 50% up to 70% on all the travel you book with your direct clients. Not a bad pay hike!! Plus this prepares you for the next opportunity of TRS. I will discuss that in my next blog post.

So What is Attraction Marketing Anyway?

Attraction marketing is the fastest growing segment on the web for network marketers. As I alluded to earlier, not everyone is interested in joining your business.

So you might ask, “How do I find business partners if they are not my friends, family member, or anyone I can get to come to a meeting?”

Answer: You attract them. There are a number of ways to do this. But the main method is by going out on the web and starting blogs, webpages, Squidoo lenses, writing articles, etc. about your topic of interest. This will attract people to you that have the same interest.

For example, I have begun to write about travel. I set up a trip to Mexico for some friends recently and was concerned about the travel advisories. I had trouble locating one good site that listed the various places to find out information. Therefore, I gathered together a number of resources on travel advisories and travel alerts. I created a Squidoo lens about this topic. This will start to attract people to me that have an interest in travel and travel warnings. I then promoted my Squid Lens on Twitter. Twitter has been all the rage in the media so I don’t think I need to explain further about the microblogger (140 characters or less).

This is just a simple start to the work that can be done to attract others to you and your business. I will expand on Attraction Marketing in future blog posts. In the mean time feel free to join me at Renegade University for FREE training on Attraction Marketing.

Everyone Is a Leisure Travel Consultant (LTC)

First step after you join my company is that you become a Leisure Travel Consultant (LTC). I just LOVE that name. If I would have known I was going to aspire to become a Leisure Travel Consultant I might not have felt as guilty partying in college… J

Seriously though, this is a great opportunity to get started in the travel business. You take a short quiz to become an LTC. We have a video for you to watch for guidance and then the short quiz. You will take the quiz until you pass. Nothing to get worked up over. However, the opportunity for you to start earning commissions in the travel industry begins there. Once you become an LTC, you are officially able to earn commissions on your own travel website. How cool is that?

How many people do you know who book their travel through Orbitz, Priceline, Hotels.com, Expedia.com, etc.? Of those people, how many of them earn a commission on the travel they book on those websites? NONE! You are exactly right! Why not? Well, because the owners of those websites earn the commission. So if they could get the same (or maybe even better) deals on your website, do you think you they would use it? The answer is yes. They will use your website because they will find great deals for hotels, car rentals, airfare, etc. And the best part is you will earn a commission on all the travel booked through your website. Check out my travel website to do a sample search.

Then contact me at Audrey@yourtravelpartners.com to join this GREAT Travel opportunity!

Can You Do this ALONE?

The short answer is No and the long answer is…absolutely Not!

Let me explain.

You could sign up to become a business owner with a network marketing company, whether it is in travel with me or something else. Then you could contact all your friends and family members and sign them up to join the business. Chances are you will sign up a couple, scare a few, and make enemies out of a few more. The few you do sign up will drop out within 3 months because they haven’t become wealthy like YOU promised. Then you will begin to doubt yourself and your future with your chosen company. Does that sound like fun? Heck no!

So what do I recommend?

They call it Attraction Marketing. Attract people who have like interests to yourself and your company. Some will join your company right away, some will follow you for awhile and join your company later, and some will move on and decide to join something else. However, chances are with this method you won’t make too many enemies, you will still have your friends and family, and you will be growing your business. Your future will be bright and you will be having fun! And if you join me…you will be traveling.

So if this sounds like a way for you to do business, and you want to generate free leads, then bookmark my blog and continue to learn more about attraction marketing. Or contact me at NWMTrainingpartner@gmail.com and we can discuss this further.

Desire TO TAKE Trips Worth Dreaming About?

You heard me allude to the fact that our company offers these great dream vacations. The best part is they offer these 4-5 STAR vacation trips to us for 2-3 star pricing.

Top 7 reasons you should travel with us…

1)      Affordable trips as we are able to buy in bulk. When you know you have a group of people you are promoting the trip to, a percentage of the people WILL invest in the trip. This allows you to set up the trip at reduced pricing compared to just booking a single trip.

2)      Great cruise packages.  If it is a cruise you are looking at, you will see GREAT discounts for these trips. We are able to book ½ and even sometimes the entire ship for a trip. Therefore, we are able to secure the best rates for these packages.

3)      We save you even more money! Our company reduces the price of the commission they take on these great trips. This in turn allows them to reduce the rates even further and pass on the savings to YOU (the customer).

4)      We work with quality vendors. The experience and background knowledge these quality vendors have in the travel industry help us promote the 4-5 star trips. These vendors have been providing great vacations for many years and they promise nothing but the best.

5)      A concierge/chaperone is provided on the longer trips. The company provides an experienced traveler to accompany the group on the longer trips. They are there to make sure everything runs smoothly and as planned. In addition, they help everyone have an experience to be remembered.

6)      We offer a number of 3, 4, and 5 day trips. We recognize people are busy. Many times this only affords you shorter time off to travel to destinations for a getaway vacation. These are relatively inexpensive and yet cater to you for the

7)      Expanding Inventory. We are constantly finding ways to expand our inventory in our trips area. We have partnered with great hotels throughout the country. These offer you the opportunity to stay in great cities you know and love at your convenience. However, you still benefit from the reduced pricing.

I know I have peaked your interest. So please feel free to contact me at Audrey@yourtravelpartners.com and I will send you information on our dream vacations. Or call me at 469-293-3858 if you want to discuss your situation, your interests and your desire to change the way you travel. There are opportunities here for everyone! And if you are a web junkie like me then check out the current dream vacations.
