CONVENTION LOST AND FOUND

 
Please help one of your fellow RTAs!

One of our valued RTAs needs your help! A speech device located inside one of the Freedom backpacks was lost at the convention. This device is a lifeline for this RTA and it is very important that it be located.

The device is gray in color, approximately 9" x12" and three inches thick, with a keyboard and screen that lights up for the user. It's possible someone may have mistakenly picked up the wrong backpack and not even know it! If anyone has knowledge of or has located a speech device, please contact mdempsey@ytb.com.

Thank you for your help!

 

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!

UPCOMING YTB FIRST CLASS EVENTS

RTA Certification Classes (CRTA)
will now be known as
YTB "First Class!" Take your YTB businesses to the next level as you learn from the best in your business - The YTB Directors!

YTB "FIRST CLASS"
SCHEDULE

The training formerly known as CRTA (or RTA Certification) is now known as
YTB "First Class!" We are proud to make this change effective immediately. It represents a change to the name and some course content only, providing updates and an enhanced Powerpoint presentation that has been developed over the past few months. This does not change the way YTB Reps or RTAs conduct business. If you have previously attended a CRTA training, you are welcome to attend a First Class session,
however the content has not significantly changed.

Directors will be teaching your
YTB "First Class" courses - these field leaders will share the knowledge and experience they have gained on their way to outstanding YTB success. Remember what Coach says: "To be a success, find a successful person and follow their plan!"

If you haven't attended a
YTB "First Class," plan to do so soon!
The education and motivation are priceless!

Click each event for more details.
Your
"First Class" instructors (YTB Directors) are listed for each event.

Register from your Back Office and you're on your way!

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: RTAs and guests may audit YTB "First Classes" at no charge.
RTAs may pay the course fee at a later date if they desire the class credit.
