VIQ (Very Important Questions and Answers)
|
What is my "Toolbox" and
when will it
arrive?
When you joined YTB, you were mailed your YTB Toolbox that
includes a training manual, a sample of our printed
materials, your RTA Credentials application, and a Success
from Home Magazine that contains a CD-ROM/DVD
presentation. Your Toolbox is shipped within one to two
days after you join, and you should expect to receive it
within seven to ten business days. If you have not
received your Toolbox by that time, please enter a
Customer Support Ticket from the Back Office of your
website. We will follow up immediately on the status of
your delivery.
When can I expect to receive my YTB Credentials Card?
In order to receive your RTA (Referring Travel Agent)
Credentials card, you must complete the simple application
(contained in your Toolbox), attach a color photo, and
mail it to the YTB home office in the pre-addressed blue
envelope. When your application is received, it is
processed promptly and your credentials are returned to
you by mail. If it has been more than ten days since you
submitted your application and your credentials have not
been received, please enter a Customer Support Ticket from
the Back Office of your website so that we can check on
the status of your delivery.
How do I change my personal information? (e-mail, phone
number, web URL, password, etc.)
Your personal information is easily changed from the Back
Office of your YTB website. Simply log-in as a member and
click on “Edit Personal Info” at the top of the page. You
may not change the Name on Account, Company Name (if
applicable), or the SSN/TAX ID. This information can only
be edited by an authorized RTA Support representative, and
only under certain circumstances. You may change your
address information, phone numbers, e-mail address, web
URL, and password.
What are RTA Perks and Courtesies?
The travel industry may extend discounts and/or special
pricing to travel industry professionals. These perks are
solely at the discretion of the property or company and
ARE NEVER GUARANTEED to anyone, including RTAs. However,
most of the time RTAs will be extended the same perks and
courtesies as other travel professionals if the RTA:
1. Actively pursues the travel business as a business and
not a hobby, and
2. Acts, speaks and dresses professionally, and
3. Meets all credential requirements as might be imposed
by the vendor.
RTAs may also be eligible for FAM (Familiarization) Trips
offered by vendors.
What is a Commission Claim Form?
The Commission Claim Form is a required form used when
booking commissionable travel directly with any vendor.
This includes hotels, resorts, car rentals, cruises,
tours, etc. When travel is booked by any means other than
your Online Travel Agency (booking engine), this form must
be completed in its entirety and submitted to YTB Travel
Network. Please keep in mind that group cruises booked and
added to the website are vendor direct bookings and will
also require you to submit a Commission Claim Form.
You must submit the Commission Claim Form immediately upon
booking the travel to ensure your customer receives their
travel documents and any corresponding information sent to
YTB via the vendor in a timely manner. Without this form
YTB has no way of knowing that the booking exists. You may
easily submit this form online by using the Commission
Claim Form link in your Travel Portal and following the
easy steps.

WELCOME NEW YTB DIRECTOR LAREASE RIVERS |
|
|
|
|
"Teamwork Makes the Dream Work"
Originally from New York City, Larease Rivers has called Atlanta,
GA home for the past 11 years. She and her sister, Christine Hill,
own RiverHill Healthcare Solutions, a supplemental nurse staffing
agency that employs Registered Nurses, Licensed Practical Nurses,
and Certified Nursing Assistants. It has been their dream to create
this agency which provides assistance to various medical facilities
throughout the Atlanta area, with future plans to implement a
traveling nurses division.
Larease joined YTB in November, 2004 and currently has over 700 team members.
She states,
"I have an awesome group of team members who are committed to YTB and to helping
others achieve their financial goals. One of YTB’s goals is to create more
millionaires than any other company in the world. I am convinced 100% that YTB
will also make my dream of becoming a millionaire a reality."
Larease describes her team this way:
"First of all I would like to acknowledge an awesome group of women, in which I was
privileged to form a bond of sisterhood, and from that bond we created the Ladies Of
Team Vision, which consists of:
-
The fabulous, fearless leader Melissa Boston! Melissa and I
shared one common goal, to reach the top, and assist everyone
in our organization to reach their goals. We spend many late
nights strategizing on what it would take to help everyone get
to the next level. That commitment and dedication through
trial and error, has paid and rewarded all those who stayed
committed in our organization, to being coached and overcoming
the fear of failure in an industry where few endure. Melissa’s
unconditional friendship, and her dedication to myself and her
team, has helped and contributed to all that I have
accomplished with YTB. By far Melissa Boston is one of the
greatest presenters in the organization; she has set the stage
to create numerous leaders in this organization with her
tenacious drive.
-
The dedicated Shavett Daniel! Shavett is one of the hardest working women I
ever known. Through her I’ve learned that regardless of your career path and family
commitments, we can still dream and achieve our dreams! Shavett is dedicated to
her team and making it happen every day.
-
The awesome Aloycia Woods! Aloycia Woods is the master motivator, and an
empowering leader, always giving a word of encouragement to her team and to all
new prospects. Aloycia is not only one of our greatest leaders, but she is also
a very dear friend of mine. Through her motivation and commitment
to helping others she is destined to reach the top!
These women have all played a part in inspiring me to be all
that I can be. How can one fail if one has all the ingredients on a team that
will lead, direct, motivate, dedicate and empower your every step of the way.
What more can a person possibly need?"
In addition Larease thanks Dr. Linda Avery, Michelle and Darnell Arbett, Samone
and Marlon Gaines, Dianne Gay, Debbie Moore, Bill and Laverne Carter, Nicole Carter,
Kendall Minter, Cheryl Thompson, Donna Cochrane, Steve Williams, Yvonne Durrant and
all the other fabulous members of her team. She credits their insight, passion,
vision, and very hard work for creating such a phenomenal team.
What kind of response do you get from new prospects?
The beauty of this business is that everyone loves to travel. So the response
is always the same, ‘This is too good to be true.’ I simply show them the truth!
Do you host any special events (vacation parties, opportunity meetings, etc.) to
build your team?
The Ladies of Team Vision host two meetings per week. Over the past year we have
experienced tremendous growth. Beginning with 5-10 guests, each meeting now hosts
200-300 guests. What a difference a year makes! YTB is definitely the right place
at the right time, which is NOW! In addition, we also host various Grand Openings /
Travel Parties for our team members every day, throughout the United States. All the
leaders in the Ladies Of Team Vision have all stepped up to the plate, and have
mastered the art of duplicating. This is the key-contributing factor in building a
successful network marketing organization and team.
Any insights or helpful hints you would like to pass along to others?
Desire comes from within! If someone is looking for an opportunity to change
something in their life; then this is truly a once in a lifetime life changing
opportunity! I absolutely encourage every one of you to share this opportunity
with anyone who crosses your path, because it will without doubt not only change
your life, but also touch the life of someone else. Enthusiasm causes a trickle
down effect! By simply sharing your excitement about this incredible opportunity;
it’s a guarantee your team will grow.
Larease shares her experiences and struggles:
"YTB has truly changed my life! Prior to YTB entering my life I was a struggling
entrepreneur, looking to end the financial warfare that consumed me everyday. I
never lost sight and vision of my dreams and passions, because I believed I was
destined for something greater. The one thing I knew for certain was that I did
not want to work for anyone ever again. However, I knew that a radical change had
to happen to change my circumstances; I could no longer continue to build an empire
in a continuous financial deficit. My spirit was broken, my bank account was empty,
my reservoir of solutions was empty. I was an entrepreneur struggling to build a
dream with clear vision, but no means to ending the challenges that held me hostage
daily. I was broken!
But then a miracle happened! YTB came into my life, and every door of adversity
began to close, news doors of hope opened, and an opportunity arrived that enabled
me to now continue to live my dreams and build my empire, without worrying about
where I should turn; because now I was able to turn to and depend on YTB. Now I
wake up every day knowing that not only has my life changed, but I can now change
other people’s lives. What a blessing! If you believe you can achieve!" |
