Coach calls the group on stage!

Coach joined a great group of Reps, RTAs, and Directors on the May 30 'Cruise with Coach' to the Bahamas. He spoke to the group about the YTB 'State of the Union' and shared YTB's plans moving forward to this year's National Convention in August. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families were invited to enjoy this cruise at no cost, as YTB's salute to the men and women who guard our freedoms (see letter below to YTB Travel Network CEO  and Founder J. Kim Sorensen from the Department of the Navy).

COACH'S CORNER MEMBERS DAVE AND EVE DICKSON:
Fast Start 30/30 Club Members Dave and Eve Dickson were two of the excited RTAs who enjoyed the cruise, the fellowship, and getting to know "the Coach." David writes, "Eve and I had a FANTASTIC time on the cruise with Coach. It was a powerful proof to see and hear people everywhere we went on the ship who were changing their lives and making money with YTB. One of the really COOL things was how positive and success oriented everyone was. This was truly a ship full of WINNERS, not whiners.

"At Coach's presentation he invited us up on the stage. It was AWESOME to be on stage with all of the incredibly successful Directors. WOW!!! We are new to YTB, but we managed to enroll 45 people in about 15 days. I didn't even know the 30/30 existed until someone told me when I had about 5 days left. I have some business and sales experience, and this is one of the easiest things I've ever sold. Actually I don't even really "sell" -- I just tell my friends and business acquaintances about the opportunity. It's powerful enough that they just see it and say, 'Yes, please I'd like to sign up!'

I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Eve. Two years ago, someone approached me about this business and I just sort of ignored them. I was "too busy" and "too smart" to get involved in a "multi-level marketing" thing. Shame on me. Two years later Eve brought it to me and said, "Dave, slow down and take a look at this. I think this is something we should really do." Well, I stopped and looked, and the more I looked, the more I was convinced that she was absolutely right and I had been foolish to not look at it two years ago. So, we got involved and the rest is history... We've made a bunch of money, and made some great friends in our PowerTeam Leaders Loren and Brenda Dowlar. This looks like the beginning of something very, very good!"
 

DIRECTORS BRENDA AND LAUREN DOWLAR:
"When we saw the BizReports and Travel Compass emails that Coach was going on this cruise, we both said 'OK, we're going too!'  Having attended Coach's Birthday Bash cruise in January, we knew how much fun this would be, getting to meet so many wonderful YTB RTAs. It was so nice going with some good friends to just relax - you need to do that every once in a while. And any time you can listen to the Coach, I would strongly suggest you be there - like the upcoming National Convention in August.

I have always wanted to "check out" the famous Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island, Bahamas, so we, along with RTAs Dana and Dave Christel, signed up for the day  excursion. Once we arrived Dana talked me into getting in line for the Big Daddy slide (you know -  the one that drops straight down)! When i reached the top I said, 'Nope -  there is NO way I could ever do that.'  Dana looked at me and said,  'Brenda I have never heard you say that you couldn't do anything in the 17 years that I have known you' and she went on to say if Coach were here right now you would be going down this slide! After five long minutes of me sitting on the slide saying 'I can't do this,' Dana shoved me down the slide. I screamed the whole way down but you know? I did it!  We ended up going on all the slides that day and had the best time. I can't believe I said I couldn't do it when I can and did.

You can do anything you put your mind to. This is our fourth cruise since December and all I can say is if you haven't been on a cruise you need to book one today and take a bunch of friends with you. Book it on your site and you get the travel commission!  Thanks Coach we had a Blast!

THANK YOU LETTER TO YTB

PASSPORT TO GIVING TRAININGS

 

Passport to Giving Trainings
With so much new material now presented in the Passport to Giving program, we encourage any RTA previously certified under the Association Program (now known as the Passport to Giving Program) to take a refresher class at any live location free of charge. (This refresher class is not a requirement to remain certified.)

Many non-profits today are looking for a new way to fundraise and we have the answer! Forget the candy or bake sales and clunker car programs; travel is the ultimate fundraiser! Our innovative program provides non-profit organizations a dramatically different way to raise funds for their organization.

By enrolling a non-profit in this unique program, the organization is provide a "private label" YTB travel website customized with their organization name and log. The website is then promoted to the organizations' supporters and members to use when booking their personal or business travel. (We can also assist the organization in organizing group travel events for their supporters). As supporters use the organization's travel website, the organization receives 60% of the travel commissions earned by YTB, paid as royalties.
 

The RTA who sponsors the non-profit receives a 10% override of the travel commissions generated by the non-profit and a $300 signing bonus (60% of the sign-up fee)!

Passport To Giving can raise thousands of dollars per year for an organization because they have a large number of supporters that will generate travel bookings! Examples of appropriate organizations include service, fraternal, health, alumni, political, environ-mental, charity, religious (including churches), and educational organizations.

There are 1.5 million non-profits in the U.S. that need our program! If you want to help non-profits and create a consistent stream of income for your YTB business, come join us in the Passport To Giving Program!
