Before You Join Ytb, A Few Things You Need To Know

Posted on April 3, 2008 - Filed Under Home Based Business |

Because I write so many articles on the YTB Travel business, I get a lot of e-mails from people interested in the business or asking me if Your Travel Biz is a scam. Recently, I’ve been flooded with e-mails, a few of which really got me thinking, so I want to share a few with you:

I am an independent go-getter, who is a visual learner. I am so frustrated and discouraged. I know I can do this thing and change lives, but I feel that because I want to work it part time for now, I am made to feel like a dunce. Because I ask questions and want to know about the business until I am comfortable, I feel my sponsor wants nothing to do with me. I’ve been reading the Tool Box from A to Z and learning a lot. But when I ask questions, it appears that my sponsor has NOT read the toolbox and is ashamed to say they “don’t know” something and so I get these vague, inaccurate, time-wasting non-answers. I so believe in YTB that I felt it in my spirit and went THAT day, pawned my jewelry to get the $500 and joined…THAT VERY DAY! But now, I feel very discouraged. I even told my sponsor that I was “discouraged” and he/she never even acknowledged that. I sent e-mails that he/she never read.

I’m looking into going into the travel business with YTB with one of my friends here, but before I hop in head first I would like to get some more info on how to market my business in which I work on a military base, and I know this is a open market, but if you could insight me, since you are already in the business I would appreciate it.

I am excited about this opportunity but I really want to find a bigger market then just my Family and friends. Please help me!!! -D. W.

I made a big mistake. I signed up with YTB about a month ago and my sponsor knows absolutely nothing…I am begging for your help, please. -C.G.

In addition to e-mails like these, I’ve had calls from people begging me to teach them how to market their business the way I market my business, which is through “Attraction Marketing” Unfortunately, I am only allowed to personally assist those members who are on my YTB team, which makes me a bit frustrated at times, and which brings me to the purpose of this article.

YTB is a business. If you have no idea how to get started in your business, you need to make sure that your sponsor has the ability to teach you. If your best friend Sally or Jim just got in the business, and you want to join with them, you better make sure that Sally or Jim’s sponsor or upline is both willing and able to teach you how to market your business.

The other thing you will want to know before signing up with someone in YTB is HOW they market their business. If they market their business by talking to everyone at the grocery store, post office, bank, church, etc. and take their prospects to hotel meetings or home parties, then you better make sure that you are willing to do the same thing, since that is what they will teach you how to do.

If you are like me, and the thought of hotel meetings and talking to people at Starbucks or the post office makes you a little uneasy, and you want to market your business on the Internet, then you need to find a sponsor who can teach you how to market your business on the Internet…or be prepared to teach yourself (which will take considerably longer…I speak from experience).

Starting your own home-based travel business with YTB is an exciting but serious venture. If you know that you’ll need help growing your business, you can’t afford to just “do your friend a favor” and join under them, if that means you won’t get the proper assistance you need to grow your business. If they are truly your friend, they will want you to do whatever it takes to get your business started off right. Otherwise, your relationship may be in jeopardy when/if your upline isn’t willing or able to give you support and information you need, and you end up frustrated and miserable like the people who send me e-mails asking for help.

Once you’ve signed up in YTB with your team, your best bet for information is your upline. If they aren’t marketing the way you want to market your business, then you better get busy teaching yourself how to market the business the other way!

My other purpose in writing this article is to hopefully give a friendly reminder to those sponsors who may be slacking in their capacity as sponsors. As a sponsor, your job may not be to build your downline’s business, but you should be a support system for your team members. Being a sponsor is a sacred duty, one which I hold near and dear to my heart. Ignoring e-mails, avoiding phone calls, and failing to make an effort to get your downline the answers they need is unacceptable, and if you don’t want to make the effort, have the courtesy to give your downline the contact information for their upline, so that everyone can make the most of the incredible business opportunity YTB offers.
