Why a travel MLM and why WorldVentures? This is the question that many ask me when they inquire about what network marketing company I am with. There are many reasons that I chose an MLM company in the travel industry and many more key points that caught my attention with WorldVentures.

Before I get into the reasons behind my choice to join WorldVentures, I want to talk a little bit about my history with the network marketing industry as  a whole. About 19 years ago I was introduced to the network marketing industry by my uncle. I was 18 years old at the time and the concept of working for myself, driving nice sports cars and living in a huge house was very appealing. But it wasn’t just the draw of the fancy cars and homes that a successful MLM business could bring me. It was a specific instance when I listened to a 60 year old doctor stand up and give his testimony as to why he had joined the industry. He talked about making a nice 6 figure income as a doctor but had no time to enjoy his life and his family and was a slave to his career.

As a 18 year old, that doctors story made a huge impact on me and I made a decision that I would never settle in life.That night I embarked on my first network marketing journey. The company was Equinox, a water filtration and nutrition company. With my water filter in hand I went to all my family and friends trying to convince them why they needed to filter their water with my new product. I believed in the product but trying to get someone to change their buying habits was a daunting task. Needless to say, I struggled selling a single water filter, let alone even trying to build a business recruiting others.

About a year later, my whole Philadelphia team left Equinox and joined ACN at the time of it’s launch. I was very excited about the new venture and found it easier going to my friends and family saving them money on their long distant phone plan. Crazy thing was, even though our product worked and could save them money, there were still many people that did not want to change their buying habits and stuck with their main long distance carrier. Even with the obstacles of changing peoples buying habits I had successfully made my first check in MLM.

I worked with ACN for about a year but was still having trouble recruiting people into my business. After many of my customers switched back to their old long distance phone plan, due to a $5 switch back the major companies enticed them with, I gave up on network marketing and swore it off. I was convinced that network marketing didn’t work and that nobody wanted to do it because it was too hard.

Fast forward 19 years, a good friend came to me and asked me to take a look at her travel MLM. I immediately told her I had tried network marketing before and didn’t want anything to do with it. After avoiding her for a bit, her persistence paid off. I trusted her but the idea of vacationing more with my family and friends peeked my attention more and I finally took a look at WorldVentures.

What I saw in the presentation immediately got me excited. The products just made sense! The questions I asked myself were, “would I rather pay wholesale or retail for my vacations?” and “do I book travel online or know anyone else that does?” Both of those questions were no-brainers. So, basically it boiled down to having access to hundreds of wholesale vacations, getting paid when people booked travel on my travel booking site and building a residual income just by helping others do the same. OK, I’m in!! But, wait, what’s the catch? The kicker was, once I found out how well the company was doing and how fast it was growing, I realized there was none.

There are many factors in my decision to join forces with WorldVentures and I will highlight the main ones that stuck out to me.

1 ~ Product – Travel and Vacations. I don’t have to convince anyone to go on vacation or want to save money. Most people want to vacation more and save money doing it but they don’t know how! Also, we naturally talk about our vacations, so it’s easy to share because we already do it anyway. The product stands alone even without network marketing and that was critical in my decision!

2 ~ Industry – Travel is the largest industry in the world and is expected to double over the next 10 years because of the Baby-Boomers retiring. What do you think they want to do in their golden years?

3 ~Timing - WorldVentures is about 5 years young and still in pre-momentum. Meaning, they are past the point where most MLM companies fail in the first 2 years of business. Also, about 11 countries just opened and huge market share is available. Know anyone in USA, UK, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, Singapore, Israel, Cyprus, Sweden, Germany, Malta or The Netherlands? If you do, these regions are wide open!

4 ~Leadership - Co-founders, Wayne Nugent and Mike Azcue have a proven track record of success! Plus, the addition of Dan Stammen, network marketing legend, as the chief marketing officer solidified it for me. Dan built a sales team which created over 660,000 customers for a New York Stock Exchange listed legal services firm. He has brought his marketing expertise to WorldVentures and built an online system for reps to build their business.

5 ~Training – Awesome training system run by Marc Accetta. Marc helped take another MLM go to #1 on the INC 500 list and has brought the same training system to WorldVentures. I thought it was going to be a RAH-RAH session but instead it was nuts and bolts to help build the business.

6 ~ Compensation Plan -  A binary system consisting of only 2 teams. This means that you could end up with someone on your team that someone else puts underneath you! When I saw how this worked I was blow away because it is so powerful and helps build the team as a whole!

7 ~ No Monthly Fees – All I had to do was sell 4 products and my products and business were free. What?? No monthly overhead?? I know, that’s how I felt! Most people will quit MLM because they are spending more than they are making. Help 4 people save money on a vacation and your fees are waived!!

8 ~ Industry Reputation – They are the youngest company highlighted in “Success from Home” 2x’s in 3 years and “Your Business at Home” in the first year. Not too bad for a company only about 5 years old. They received awards from Carnival Cruise Lines and Funjet Vacations and recently I heard that SEARS is now using the travel booking technology to book travel for their corporate website (Hmmmm…choosing WV’s booking engine over the other big travel .com’s.. kind of shows how well it performs if SEARS would opt to go with it)

So, all in all, the above highlights are the main reasons I chose to join WorldVentures. Not to mention the the integrity behind the company as a whole and always giving back. Whether it’s raising money for Big Brother’s Big Sisters, creating a mission trip or helping change a child’s life though their new Manifest Foundation, they seem to always have the right purpose in mind!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the people are cool and fun! WorldVentures is a company that offers vacations, FUN and the possibility to earn money helping  the people you care about do the same! Works for me!!
