@xxbulletproof Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. We have actual, retailable products (DreamTrips, DreamTrips Life, & Luxury DreamTrips).

To all those pyramid scheme comments!!!! Life IS a pyramid. have you takened Psychology? Maslows Hierarchy of Needs? how about the Pyramid of Power (New World Order). A job is a pyramid. the CEO and Boss is above you. more details in my website. The truth MUST BE TOLD!
@M1tchellw You cant compare that to life omg lol , pyramid schemes are mostly scams, they do not tell their customers what they are to face up front.. why dont they make a video showing that its a pyramid scheme , that would help , I'd rather join something if you were straight up with my about it than hiding some of the things to come later on.
@xxbulletproof To clarify, a "pyramid scheme" IS a scam. All pyramid schemes are. But there's a difference between a network marketing or multi-level marketing company and a pyramid scheme. Network marketing & MLM are legal, legitimate business models. Common misconception.
As to "hiding some of the things to come", we think you'll find WorldVentures is pretty darn transparent and up front. We don't believe in "gotchas" or fine print. We even have an income disclosure statement.
Even if you can effectively deny that this is a pyramid scheme (IT IS) and you assure us all that it's legal (JUST BARELY), best case scenario this company is parasitic.
I don't know if you're personally brainwashed or not but don't bother replying
i'm not getting into semantics with worldventure sheep, I've already heard a good sum of your company's rhetoric. It's just deflective and ambiguous enough to be insulting.
@jackyjackson Well I work on the corporate team, so I'm about as "brainwashed" as they come.

@jackyjackson Yup. An absolutely clean conscious. We're not perfect by any means, but we operate a legal, legitimate busines, provide great retail products that are used & enjoyed by tens of thousands of customers, & provide a real opportunity that—while no means easy or guaranteed—DOES provide a way for regular people to earn additional income on a part-time or full-time basis. Don't believe we're immoral in the least & we believe 100% in what we're selling. But you're entitled to your opinion.
Yes, this "makes sense". I'm more concerned with the products that are unrelated to traveling. My friends are spending money on sales seminars and materials.
@njkline1 We certainly appreciate your concern for your friends! We offer a # of mktg tools to help our Reps build their biz. They're certainly not required, but we believe they help our Reps achieve greater success. And because the majority of our folks haven't done anything like this before, we host training events that offer biz training & personal development so whether someone is a lawyer or a soccer mom, they can have success. It's all optional though & we're sensitive to over-spending.
@WorldVenturesTV My friends have spent $365 to set up and $55/month to maintain their membership. They are traveling to Vegas for a seminar and plan on spending $6k/year to learn how to sell. This is not a normal company. Real companies pay their sales force, not the other way around. They spend every waking moment trying to "recruit" new members, which doesn't sound much like retirement to me. Oh and researching Mike Azcue (ceo), will indicate that he has been involved in fraud previously.
@njkline1 (Pt. I) If you look at other direct sales companies (i.e.- Mary Kay, ACN, Pre-Paid Legal or Primerica), they all charge for events. When your sales force is made up of independent contractors who don't have to work a set number of hours or fill quotas, charging for a training event is pretty standard. As to the recruiting not being "retirement", Reps can work as hard or as little as they choose, but we don't promise that just cuz you sign up you can retire on the spot. It takes work.
@njkline1 (Pt. II) And as to Mike Azcue's previous business experience, when you're a trusting guy, sometimes you trust the wrong people. But there's a difference in being a Rep at a company, discovering that it's not what you thought it was AND LEAVING (as Mike did), and being the owner of that company. If you could meet Mike you'd find he's an honest guy, full of integrity, and part of the motivation for founding WV was to create a company we could all really be proud of.

@njkline1 (Pt. I) It's not exactly the same as consumer goods, but it's the closest approximation. We go to vendors, whether it's a cruise line or hotel chain, & negotiate to buy a large quantity of inventory for a specific itinerary & on an ongoing basis. So 100 cabins on an single sailing or 50 rooms over a specific 4 day wknd. By volume buying we're able to negotiate a much more aggressive price, & we then pass the savings on to the Members & make our money off the Memberships. Make sense?
@njkline1 (Pt. II) It's not a pyramid scheme primarily because we offer a real product. The DreamTrips Membership is a retailable consumer product. Secondly, we do not pay for recruiting Reps, only for the sale of products. No commissions or bonuses are earned for recruiting additional Reps. And lastly, there is nothing in our compensation plan to prevent you from out-earning every single person "above" you. Success is not dependent on having been recruited "first." Does that make sense?
WAIT A MINUTE.....Can someone please honestly answer this....If I pay $199 plus $25 per month (Total Year 1 = $500), and I travel abroad only once that first year, am I guaranteed to save at least my membership cost ($500) when I book that first trip?
@lambda1982 It depends on the trip. We try to save you at least $200 on the trips, so at a minimum it covers your initial fee. But savings vary from trip to trip. There are some larger trips where you could save $7-800 or more, but some of the short domestic trips might only be $100. If you're traveling at least once a year though, the membership should still make sense. Sorry for the delay, Memorial Day weekend and all. : )
the whole program is nice but Roviaí forgot to mention that they do not pay commission for domestic flights! you guys know that? it should inform you guys too!
@valteraskate Good feedback. We tried to keep the whole presentation as simple, short, and streamlined as possible. You're correct. Rovia, along with the rest of the world, does not pay commissions on domestic flights. Pretty standard industry-wide. But we'll keep your suggestion in mind the next time we update the video.
@trueexposed Don't hold back, tell us how ya really feel! Are you making that accusation based on any actual supporting evidence, or just trolling on YouTube?
@valteraskate A fraudulent money-making scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to others above them in a hierarchy while expecting to receive payments from people recruited below them. Eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure, and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in.
@trueexposed If you read the details of our compensation plan, you'll find that the only money collected is for the sale of our retail products, and no money is earned for recruiting additional Representatives. And it is further structured such that it's entirely possible to out-earn everyone above you in the tree, and simply enrolling first does not guarantee any income whatsoever. Happy to talk in further detail if you still have questions.
@simeoncryer Thanks! Not sure what you mean by Jefferson though. The WorldVentures video/creative team put this together, in our studio at the corporate offices.
What's the difference between recruinting and finding customers and madoff was also paying ppl money during his scheming day but his fall was when the economy started going down and there wasn't any money to give just hope the same thing doesn't happen to you guys
@dakruise1 Well, customers PURCHASE our retail products (DreamTrips & LTC) & Reps are recruited to SELL them. Think of it like your local State Farm office. State Farm doesn't care how many Reps I have helping me run the office, they only care how many polices we move & they only pay for policies written. So whether I have 1 Rep or 100, if I write 5 polices I get paid for 5 policies. Money paid for product/service provided. Madoff was just shuffling money around, he fabricated the whole thing.
Well if you the big guys who get enough guys to buy in and then get them to hustle for you then maybe some ppl on the bottom of the pyramid make a few bucks which given the Amt for most ppl is a waste of time and the reason why you guys r in business is because there are lots of stupid ppl out there.
@dakruise1 Well that's certainly a cynical view! We're no more a pyramid scheme than Corporate America. Our compensation plan is based on the selling of our 2 products, and isn't tied to any recruiting. You could sign up 500 Reps and not make a dime. We only pay you for finding customers. And although we have a comp plan that encourages team-building, you don't automatically make more money just because you got in first. It's not that simple. We're in business because we provide a good service.
I watched the video and at the end , when you mentioned it is $360 for the 3, you do not mention how costly the monthly fee is. Would it be $26.99 or more?
Also, is there an option for annual fee payment with discount?
@megatendencias The monthly fee for the DreamTrips Membership is $26.99, and the LTC Package is $26.99 as well. If you were to elect to become a Representative and market the products (which is purely optional, and is in no way tied to purchasing the 2 retail products), that would be $10.99/month.
There is no option for an annual fee at this time. But, even as a pure retail customer (not a Rep), if you refer 4 other customers, we'll waive your monthly fees. : )
I am wondering whether this WV is a disguised MLM. I don´t like MLMs because you have to linger on depending at all times and share your earnings. So, for example, I went to dreamtrips site and if you want to sign in, you MUST be referred by someone at WV, who obviously makes a commission from your membership monthly fees.
Also I tried to enter luxdt com your luxury membership site and it does not show the costs of membership. Same story, you have to be referred to find out.
@megatendencias not sure what you mean by "disguised MLM." We are a network marketing company (aka MLM), and we're proud of that, so we don't really try to disguise it. : )
We bring our products to the market through word-of-mouth, direct sales. So yes, in order to become a DreamTrips Member, you would need to have been referred by a WorldVentures Representative.
Lets be Clear, This is a Legal Co. OK ! I am Celebrity Stylist A. J. Will and after travelling first class and in Luxury for years while working with Celebrities and Royalty, I quickly became acclimated to " First Class Travel and Accommodations" NOW, World Ventures affords me the right and ability to share THIS LIFE STYLE with my Friends and Family at WHOLESALE and Insider Travel Agent Rates. Sometimes even for FREE!!!. WV is a Very Simple Common Sense Decision. THANK YOU!
It's actually 26.3% of reps that earned checks. We are in that group because we actually did something to try to earn a check It really is not hard to be among the 26.3%, but if you do nothing, then you get nothing. Many of our members and reps join just for the benefits. With God as our witness, we would have remained happy customers for the last 3 years whether we ever decided to do the business opportunity or not. We have saved THOUSANDS of dollars on travel thanks to WorldVentures!
I just signed up as a Rep 2 weeks ago. It just makes sense! Everyone wants to travel. And everyone wants to travel cheap. So why not offer it at amazing prices? Hotels, resorts, amusement parks charge such exorbitant amounts most of the time anyway and unless you've got money to burn or find "good" deals online you're not going to want to pay full price. The overhead on the products are SO low it's pretty much a steal. I tried another home-based biz and spent thousands with no result. They told
Essentially World ventures is a cleverly hidden pyramid scheme…..BEWARE, don’t listen to the comments on this page they are just full of Reps that work for World Ventures trying to brainwash you to buy into a scheme they wish they never bought into.....
@WorldVenturesTV To be honest I haven’t…. but I was dragged to a conference by someone you managed to brainwash to listen to a bullshit talk about a company that is ripping off people. A two hour talk about World Ventures and the only facts I got told about the company was that 21% make money and 79% don’t….the rest of the talk was just an empowering speech about pointless stories and comparisons which have no relevance to the company. Just wanted to punch the American twat in the face
@rusted767 So, why do you say that it's "bullshit" and that we've "brainwashed" people? And how are we "ripping off" people?
We put a lot of effort into making sure that the presentations are factual and up front with people and they go through pretty extensive legal review. Obviously they are sales presentations, so they're desinged to be persuasive and encourage someone to make a purchase, but they're pretty by the book.
@rusted767 hi...actually i'd be happy to say given what you said "21% make money and 79% don’t…" that's a real fantastic stats! In fact, you do not see such high success rates in many things we do in life! Just look at those top insurance agents, sales people, athletes, real estate bokers, stock brokers, business people, etc...these are often not even 10% of the whole industry that they are in. And this match exactly the 80/20 rule! So this is by no chance a coincident. Hope that helps...
@rusted767 What made you such a sad person. Who took away your dreams? Maybe you would benifit from getting a pet? It's not hiding anything, if you draw it out it is the same shape as the Girl Scouts org chart, a pyramid, GM, a pyramid, with this pyramid, your on top.
@rusted767 I actually agree with you rusted. All of the flaws of MLM's are inherently in this company's structure and they do not see a problem with it. Guys, if any of you are considering doing this please remember that you must have target market for it. If your social circle or surrounding circles do not have atleast 5 people spending upwards of $1000/yr on travel then don't let anyone convince you that you can make money off of this to fulfill your "dreams"
@cashbackguru: I guess that's why it's best that you share it not only with people in your social & surrounding circle, but also outside of your comfort zone with a variety of people. It's quite possible that someone knows someone that does spend a $1000 a year on travel, and if they do, great. Then they could be shown how to spend less on travel, get paid to do it, and do it for free. Plus, if you were working with together, you could be joining them on beaches all over the world
If you have a job - you're in a pyramid scheme because the man at the top - makes all the money. And guess what? If no one below him (employees) works, he doesn't make any money.
Go figure...
And it does take money to make money. Look at the cost of a McDonald's franchise and then tell us all here it doesn't take money to start a business.
@oodymoviesnl It always takes money to make it. Whoever started the company you work for had to pay for the building, utilities and the list goes on. On your J.O.B. in order for you to get paid you have to pay for transportation. While at work you pay for lunch or even if you bring lunch you are paying for that food. So no matter what you do it costs money to make money. plus with world ventures the representative part is optional. If you want to vacation for less email me: yendlite@gmail.com
What a stupid comparison. A more accurate one would be, PAY your BOSS to go to work each month and the boss pays you at the end of the month IF he makes any money. Then pay again the next month and so on and so on. All the time you don't have access to the financial accounts and only take the word of the people running the business (who you never meet) that they aren't cooking the books. I can't believe people still fall for this rubbish still.
@XSarenkaX Just because it's word-of-mouth marketing and Reps earn $ from sharing our products w/ others, doesn't make it a pyramid scheme. It's the same model that Mary Kay, ACN, or Herbalife use.
We only pay $ for product sales, not for recruiting new Reps. So when you say "if nobody joins" you mean "no one purchases our 2 retail products" then you're right, no one would make $. Just like if you work at a Ford dealership & no one drives off in a new Explorer, you wouldn't make any money.
@XSarenkaX Take a look at WorldVenturesTruth (dot com) and you'll find a website with some answers to common questions and misconceptions about what we do.
Trust me! Legitimate company! High quality leadership!
A word of advice! Guard your words before you speak. It's wrong to speak openly about something you haven't even investigated! Some might call it gossip!
@XSarenkaX , well unlike other pyramids u can still make money from people booking trips on rovia.com , most companys have just one thing to sell , we have 3
@XSarenkaX Exactly as said before, if you're starting a business and nobody buys anything, then you wouldn't make any money. the system that they have set up only puts them on a "team," whether they go out and sell to others or not.
Worldventures rocks! The 4 minute presentation is my favorite offline method to expose prospects to. I can't wait to build a HUGE team with Worldventures!
I love this! I am having an EXCELLENT experience with WorldVentures. The company's culture is incredible. I work 60 hrs a week for a fortune500 company in Mpls and I do WV part time. I've been here for about 6 months and I am having a blast. Excellent leaders, excellent products. The new tools they have for the reps save me a ton of time. Just like Dr. King and the BBB, I give this company an "A"!
If you want to HAVE what successful people HAVE, then you have to DO what successful people DO. To me, BEING A QUITTER, does'nt sound like what successful people DO. I have talked with and know TOP INCOME EARNERS! When you follow the plan, then you get the results. THANK YOU WORLD VENTURES!!!
I was a member for 1.5 years and invited many, many people - did all the right things and only got 2 people in who eventually got out like me. Oh yeah, and the commission - they say you are paid within90 days, well after 120 days they still hadn't paid me. I finally had to quit and called WorldVenturs - they said if I quit I won't get paid even if I should have been paid within 90 days! What a rip off.
@islebay When were you a Rep? WorldVentures has improved dramatically in the last 4 years since our launch. There are a number of new tools & training videos to help new Reps market our products, and our products themselves have improved as well. When you mention commissions, we assume you mean for travel sales. There were some challenges on our old platform, but since the launch of Rovia in Dec of '08 we've eliminated most of those issues entirely.
Yes - I quit in June of "09 - I know of all the tools available. My commissions that earned and did not receive was from my web site - where people booked off my site. Commission is commission - I should have received it.
The "Napkin" concept is a great way to demonstrate WorldVentures ease of duplication and cost conscious marketing! Who can't pick up a napkin from the table and demonstrate positioning and product pricing to their prospects? It's really that easy! If they lack an iPhone, the prospect views how to present with merely tissue paper! This is STELLAR!
For a company only 4 years old to be growing by DOUBLE each year in a down economy and recession is phenomenal!! I love the idea of this presentation because as a Sams Club member I want those prices.. I just took a 4-night Cabo all-inclusive for $299. We're like those other MLM companies like: Mary Kay, Amway, Avon, Pampered Chef, Keller Williams.. all BILLION DOLLAR COMPANIES moving products directly to the consumer... except it's travel and it's sexy, fun and profitable without gouging!
You know I have used this NEW Tool over 25 times & have had some Radical results! This is the BEST "Short" Tool WorldVentures has created to date! Thank You...My Corp Teammates!
WorldVentures will turn 4 Years Old in December of this year. We're debt-free and thriving even in a down economy. We're in all fifty states as well as seven other countries across the globe. So it's more one of those, here since 2005, around for the next 50 years kind of things. : )
at first I also wondered until they came under great leadership formation under former America West co-Founder... It is a real Retail company and it has absorbed only the best in talent Online travel bureau with up and coming travel agent among travelers like myself.If you travel challenge them only company with conceirge service (when I have a flat tire they will actually help.
LOL, so true and the excessive negative thumbs down (I added a thumbs up btw) further proves all the comments are wishful hopefuls desperately trying to promote this for their own gain because they unfortunately cannot find a good job instead.
A good time to slip in the "get four" aspect would be during the RBS section where they are already talking about getting commissions on people you got involved. You then say something like, "Oh, and I forgot to mention, the best thing is, as long as you have 4 people doing what you are doing, all your monthly membership fees are gone"!
This is a great presentation already, it just needs minor tweaking to be a "10".
I don't like the term "get" too, but what could we use instead? 'cause it's very important to mention that you could be in the business or have your DT membership for FREE!!
I <3 WV and dreamtrips. It's changed my life, the lives of my friends and it's an amazing family to be a part of!!

@lambda1982 It depends on the trip. We try to save you at least $200 on the trips, so at a minimum it covers your initial fee. But savings vary from trip to trip. There are some larger trips where you could save $7-800 or more, but some of the short domestic trips might only be $100. If you're traveling at least once a year though, the membership should still make sense. Sorry for the delay, Memorial Day weekend and all. : )

@valteraskate Good feedback. We tried to keep the whole presentation as simple, short, and streamlined as possible. You're correct. Rovia, along with the rest of the world, does not pay commissions on domestic flights. Pretty standard industry-wide. But we'll keep your suggestion in mind the next time we update the video.

trueexposed 1 year ago
@valteraskate A fraudulent money-making scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to others above them in a hierarchy while expecting to receive payments from people recruited below them. Eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure, and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in.
trueexposed 1 year ago
@trueexposed If you read the details of our compensation plan, you'll find that the only money collected is for the sale of our retail products, and no money is earned for recruiting additional Representatives. And it is further structured such that it's entirely possible to out-earn everyone above you in the tree, and simply enrolling first does not guarantee any income whatsoever. Happy to talk in further detail if you still have questions.

What's the difference between recruinting and finding customers and madoff was also paying ppl money during his scheming day but his fall was when the economy started going down and there wasn't any money to give just hope the same thing doesn't happen to you guys
dakruise1 1 year ago
@dakruise1 Well, customers PURCHASE our retail products (DreamTrips & LTC) & Reps are recruited to SELL them. Think of it like your local State Farm office. State Farm doesn't care how many Reps I have helping me run the office, they only care how many polices we move & they only pay for policies written. So whether I have 1 Rep or 100, if I write 5 polices I get paid for 5 policies. Money paid for product/service provided. Madoff was just shuffling money around, he fabricated the whole thing.
WorldVenturesTV 1 year ago
Well if you the big guys who get enough guys to buy in and then get them to hustle for you then maybe some ppl on the bottom of the pyramid make a few bucks which given the Amt for most ppl is a waste of time and the reason why you guys r in business is because there are lots of stupid ppl out there.
dakruise1 1 year ago
@dakruise1 Well that's certainly a cynical view! We're no more a pyramid scheme than Corporate America. Our compensation plan is based on the selling of our 2 products, and isn't tied to any recruiting. You could sign up 500 Reps and not make a dime. We only pay you for finding customers. And although we have a comp plan that encourages team-building, you don't automatically make more money just because you got in first. It's not that simple. We're in business because we provide a good service.

@dakruise1 What's your definition of a pyramid scheme? There are a lot of misconceptions about the direct sales and network marketing industries.
WorldVenturesTV 1 year ago
I watched the video and at the end , when you mentioned it is $360 for the 3, you do not mention how costly the monthly fee is. Would it be $26.99 or more?
Also, is there an option for annual fee payment with discount?
megatendencias 1 year ago
@megatendencias The monthly fee for the DreamTrips Membership is $26.99, and the LTC Package is $26.99 as well. If you were to elect to become a Representative and market the products (which is purely optional, and is in no way tied to purchasing the 2 retail products), that would be $10.99/month.
There is no option for an annual fee at this time. But, even as a pure retail customer (not a Rep), if you refer 4 other customers, we'll waive your monthly fees. : )
WorldVenturesTV 1 year ago
I am wondering whether this WV is a disguised MLM. I don´t like MLMs because you have to linger on depending at all times and share your earnings. So, for example, I went to dreamtrips site and if you want to sign in, you MUST be referred by someone at WV, who obviously makes a commission from your membership monthly fees.
Also I tried to enter luxdt com your luxury membership site and it does not show the costs of membership. Same story, you have to be referred to find out.
Could WV answer?
megatendencias 1 year ago
@megatendencias not sure what you mean by "disguised MLM." We are a network marketing company (aka MLM), and we're proud of that, so we don't really try to disguise it. : )
We bring our products to the market through word-of-mouth, direct sales. So yes, in order to become a DreamTrips Member, you would need to have been referred by a WorldVentures Representative.
Does that answer your questions?

It's actually 26.3% of reps that earned checks. We are in that group because we actually did something to try to earn a check It really is not hard to be among the 26.3%, but if you do nothing, then you get nothing. Many of our members and reps join just for the benefits. With God as our witness, we would have remained happy customers for the last 3 years whether we ever decided to do the business opportunity or not. We have saved THOUSANDS of dollars on travel thanks to WorldVentures!

I just signed up as a Rep 2 weeks ago. It just makes sense! Everyone wants to travel. And everyone wants to travel cheap. So why not offer it at amazing prices? Hotels, resorts, amusement parks charge such exorbitant amounts most of the time anyway and unless you've got money to burn or find "good" deals online you're not going to want to pay full price. The overhead on the products are SO low it's pretty much a steal. I tried another home-based biz and spent thousands with no result. They told

@WorldVenturesTV To be honest I haven’t…. but I was dragged to a conference by someone you managed to brainwash to listen to a bullshit talk about a company that is ripping off people. A two hour talk about World Ventures and the only facts I got told about the company was that 21% make money and 79% don’t….the rest of the talk was just an empowering speech about pointless stories and comparisons which have no relevance to the company. Just wanted to punch the American twat in the face
rusted767 1 year ago
@rusted767 So, why do you say that it's "bullshit" and that we've "brainwashed" people? And how are we "ripping off" people?
We put a lot of effort into making sure that the presentations are factual and up front with people and they go through pretty extensive legal review. Obviously they are sales presentations, so they're desinged to be persuasive and encourage someone to make a purchase, but they're pretty by the book.
WorldVenturesTV 1 year ago
@rusted767 hi...actually i'd be happy to say given what you said "21% make money and 79% don’t…" that's a real fantastic stats! In fact, you do not see such high success rates in many things we do in life! Just look at those top insurance agents, sales people, athletes, real estate bokers, stock brokers, business people, etc...these are often not even 10% of the whole industry that they are in. And this match exactly the 80/20 rule! So this is by no chance a coincident. Hope that helps...

submariner84 11 months ago
@rusted767 I actually agree with you rusted. All of the flaws of MLM's are inherently in this company's structure and they do not see a problem with it. Guys, if any of you are considering doing this please remember that you must have target market for it. If your social circle or surrounding circles do not have atleast 5 people spending upwards of $1000/yr on travel then don't let anyone convince you that you can make money off of this to fulfill your "dreams"
cashbackguru 11 months ago
@cashbackguru: I guess that's why it's best that you share it not only with people in your social & surrounding circle, but also outside of your comfort zone with a variety of people. It's quite possible that someone knows someone that does spend a $1000 a year on travel, and if they do, great. Then they could be shown how to spend less on travel, get paid to do it, and do it for free. Plus, if you were working with together, you could be joining them on beaches all over the world

XSarenkaX ,
If you have a job - you're in a pyramid scheme because the man at the top - makes all the money. And guess what? If no one below him (employees) works, he doesn't make any money.
Go figure...
And it does take money to make money. Look at the cost of a McDonald's franchise and then tell us all here it doesn't take money to start a business.

oodymoviesnl 1 year ago
@oodymoviesnl It always takes money to make it. Whoever started the company you work for had to pay for the building, utilities and the list goes on. On your J.O.B. in order for you to get paid you have to pay for transportation. While at work you pay for lunch or even if you bring lunch you are paying for that food. So no matter what you do it costs money to make money. plus with world ventures the representative part is optional. If you want to vacation for less email me: yendlite@gmail.com

What a stupid comparison. A more accurate one would be, PAY your BOSS to go to work each month and the boss pays you at the end of the month IF he makes any money. Then pay again the next month and so on and so on. All the time you don't have access to the financial accounts and only take the word of the people running the business (who you never meet) that they aren't cooking the books. I can't believe people still fall for this rubbish still.

@XSarenkaX Just because it's word-of-mouth marketing and Reps earn $ from sharing our products w/ others, doesn't make it a pyramid scheme. It's the same model that Mary Kay, ACN, or Herbalife use.
We only pay $ for product sales, not for recruiting new Reps. So when you say "if nobody joins" you mean "no one purchases our 2 retail products" then you're right, no one would make $. Just like if you work at a Ford dealership & no one drives off in a new Explorer, you wouldn't make any money.

I was a member for 1.5 years and invited many, many people - did all the right things and only got 2 people in who eventually got out like me. Oh yeah, and the commission - they say you are paid within90 days, well after 120 days they still hadn't paid me. I finally had to quit and called WorldVenturs - they said if I quit I won't get paid even if I should have been paid within 90 days! What a rip off.
islebay 2 years ago 2
@islebay When were you a Rep? WorldVentures has improved dramatically in the last 4 years since our launch. There are a number of new tools & training videos to help new Reps market our products, and our products themselves have improved as well. When you mention commissions, we assume you mean for travel sales. There were some challenges on our old platform, but since the launch of Rovia in Dec of '08 we've eliminated most of those issues entirely.
We're sorry you had a bad experience!

A good time to slip in the "get four" aspect would be during the RBS section where they are already talking about getting commissions on people you got involved. You then say something like, "Oh, and I forgot to mention, the best thing is, as long as you have 4 people doing what you are doing, all your monthly membership fees are gone"!
This is a great presentation already, it just needs minor tweaking to be a "10".
