scary i think mlm is safe people should go after wall street big time lost more money there i trained people in sales yellow pages people are scared to talk to people and lack discipline to learn so they dont succeed whether it is sales in the job system our mlm however when a company relies on 3rd parties to carry out services that can be a problem waiting to happen looks like ytb should sue the provider that messed up those peoples travel arrangemnts

OK...so if you need to recuit 30 to get your six.... what happens after a year? Even 80% of your 6 will quit. So you will need to recruit another 25. I will guess that the percentage goes way up after a year. My guess is that the numbers would be close to 98% quit. Once again, your focus is on recruiting...not travel. If you like MLM/Network marketing, more power to you. If you want to be in the travel business, there are much better alternatives.

An RTA just contacted me to tell me that she got her credentials through YTB, and she assumed that these where "the" credentials. Fact is that all you get is your membership card to YTB. These are not travel credentails. They then charge you more money to get set up with CLIA, and they can't give you an IATA number, because they were terminated by IATA. Your YTB card is just a YTB card. You work under them for them, and pay them for the privilage.
Yes. It is true that YTB has even lost their law suit to appeal the courts ruling. They have now been ordered to recall all the membership cards, etc.. with the lost IATA number. It looks like IATA is gone for good.

This video was posted a year ago and the last comment was given a month ago (i.e. in June 2008). In Travel Weekly, June 16, IATA denied YTB's petition to regain it's IATA number.
NEWS FLASH: A vast majority of their RTAs think that YTB's "still in the process of re-applying for their credentials"....
I feel sorry for the RTAs....

Yes, it is true that YTB lost their appeal to regain their IATA credentials. They have even been ordered to recall all of the membership cards that have the IATA number on it. YTB is not going to get their IATA number back.

The purpose of this video is to talk about the reason IATA terminated YTB's travel agent credentials.
As far as stats go, the numbers are posted on YTB's own website. You just have to get past the "spin" and do some number crunching. YTB's numbers are very typical of most MLM companies. It is also very typical for any small business. However, with most mlms your success is determined by these numbers. Not by the profits from the sale of the product. That is the major problem.
