Hey Joe,
No, I'm in So Cal.
I've been using a few signs and gotten a good response and a few sales.
It is a cheap and easy way to market in your local area.
Thanks again Joe.

Tom-
They do work. I have used them when in real estate and now. I just put a few out earlier tonight. Of course if you can buy in bulk, you get a much better rate. Good luck with your business.

Hi Globtrotter/Joe,
I haven't heard from Globtrotter, but would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about GRN - and running a home business from Canada.
Email me at info(at)globalresorts.biz if you'd like to talk! I can provide whatever information you like! Congrats on finding Joe, he will be an amazing mentor and resource for you!
All the best,
Terry

FYI Gang,
I created a "white pages" of the GRN comp plan, pulled straight from my GRN biz opp web site. I was tired of going to the website and looking at the drop down box, so now I have an easy reference of the plan in written form. If any one needs a soft copy forwarded, send me a private email with your email address, and I'll forward one to you.
Of course the pay plan video is very good and should be viewed several times, before one can really grasp all the specifics of "perpetual leverage".
Chow for now,

I came from another oppty where I was hitting the ball out the park but came here because of this compensation plan. I am staring to teach others how to market this to people who will already have a list of individuals that they can show this to. The product does sell itself. Sure the Reverse Funnel is good for those who don't know how to market, but when you know how to market to the niche who can duplicate, that is THE KEY. I am now almost fully moved over from my other business and look forward to having a 50 person front line by April. All the best to everyone!

The payplan bothers me in GRN, the product is good but the payplan is not!
My other business has a much better payplan.
I will explain what I do not like about the payplan for GRN, My first sale went to my sponsor, than my SECOND sale qualified my second tier and I got paid NOTHING!! Than she sold to 3 other people and I got NOTHING!!!
I have 4 people in my downline and I got paid ZERO!!
NOTHING!! NADA!!
As opposed to my other business that pays very very well!!
Terri

Just a quick question:
Is it possible to change team once you've signed up with one? Not that I am wanting to switch, but just curious.
Thanks.

Btw,
Planets Aligned, have you started with the free option? How is it going? Please update us as I am curious.
Thanks a lot!

I found the pay plan in cruisetocash is more practical and prevent anybody from losing commission from any sales.

The GRN pay plan will blow the doors off of the other plans, on a long-term basis. It pays out to unlimited depth and width. I understand luvtravels frustration about the big cluster of sales she had with no commissions, but now all those levels are qualified for life, and the next sales to hit those levels would possibly earn her commissions. The product is far better than the cruise to cash free vacation vouchers, that have plenty of add-on fees. With GRN you have live weeks of inventory to choose from, but with cruise to cash, you can select a city to travel to, not a specific resort, and the service then provides an available resort.
Regarding the switching teams, I have heard of some members doing that, but it must be requested at GRN support and you need a solid, valid reason. The type of affiliate you are also is a big factor as well.
Good luck gang.

Well, I think there are some features that are better or worse between GRP and Cruise To Cash.
GRP has higher cost to join and no monthly fee. You risk losing commission on some sales, but earning to indefinite level. Resorts are specific so it will depend on availability.
On Cruise to Cash, you have less cost to start (the weekender package costs just $477), with monthly fee. You have more options in term of hotel, cruise, condos, air fare discount. You do not have specific resort, but the club put you on the hotel or resort in the city of your choice. You earn residual income from monthly fee from each person in your team. You earn commission from the first sale.
It is good to have comparison.

I am not sure how C2C could possibly have more options than GRN- now I am told over 6000 resorts in over 60 countries, there are a ton of cruises to choose from, and airfare right on the site that compares favorably (I saved a couple hundred on just one round trip flight- and it was in prime time and a direct flight- not a red eye or connector flight).
What I think is better about GRN and Coastal or any of the other travel plans is this is not a voucher- you can reserve a particular resort- that way there are no surprises. To me that is huge.

Indeed Bizmentor, I agree. With GRN you can search thousands of "live weeks" on the members access website. GRN offers huge discounts on accomodations as well as a "travel center" that offers discounts on air fare, hotels and car rentals. There is also a seperate section for discounted cruises to the Caribbean, Alaska, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Hawaii, Disney Cruises, U.S., Canada, and South America.
I used the travel center this week to book 2 airline tickets for my parents this weekend, and I saved them about $300-$400, and it was short notice trip. The etickets were received in a matter of minutes. We can get discounts for family and friends which is an outstanding benefit.
I also agree with Ka7952, it is nice to make the comparisons of the diferent programs. I chose GRN because of the product line. I haven't seen any travel biz opportunity that can beat the GRN member benefits. Now of course the pay plans and start-up costs vary, and one must decide what works best for their situation.
Keep in mind that GRN's parent company has been around for 21 years and has a solid reputation in the industry.
Happy travels,

For GRN, do you have to reserve hotel for 1 week all the time? What about if you only want to get away for 2-3 days?

cost for a couple of days honestly is not what resorts desire- however, at a hot week cost of $ 298 a week for a whole family does it matter if you leave a few days on the table? That is my take anyway... and every day you stay past that time is a bonus.
At full prices with GRN- you still likely will break even and go into a profit zone at 2-3 days... great value- and NOT a voucher.

Ka7952-
You can book directly online on the members website for short stays under our "Travel" section. This is an additional benefit to our members, and includes discounts on hotels, air fare and car rentals. Members can also book travel for friends and family in this area of the site. So GRN offers alot more than just 1 week resort accomodations, and as Chad mentioned, we secure live bookings-NOT vouchers.

Global Resorts Network truly has the best STAND ALONE product in the marketplace. That is why so many leaders from Liberty League, Wealth Masters, EDC Gold, etc have flocked over. Plus GRN has many systems in place to help make sales.
If you want full automation we have 2 systems for that, but that takes a lot of marketing
I prefer the team and direct sales approach. Of a person to person business and building relationships. The product sells itself and is a perfect downsell to those that cant afford the 10-30k it takes to buy a timeshare. I am very effective at teaching others how to do that. That leads to true duplication. Global Resorts Network whether you use the Reverse Funnel System or not has the best product out there. Good luck to all in 2008!

While I will agree that the product is outstanding- I will go on record as saying the Reverse Funnel System does not deliver all it says it will in the marketing literature. Many have stopped using that- but continued with alternative means of marketing the great product- and without the almost $300 a month back office fees for RFS as well (we provide as much or more resources in our own back office within our network of partners... for FREE).
To me- it is about trying to give your network partners all they can get to help them succeed- yes, at the end of the day each business owner is responsible for their own success- but great resources can go a long way to helping them succeed- and additional monthly inventory is the enemy in network marketing. As for me- I would rather see one of my partners spend their money on their own marketing or implementing their own Web 2.0 campaign that will continually drive highly targeted traffic to their websites than pay us a monthly "back office" fee.

I think the key is paying it forward. Some investment in your time, resources and money will go a long way to insure residual $1000 commissions.

I agree this is direct sales. We are looking to build relationships. I am not looking for lazy lottery ticket types looking for something for nothing. I want duplication from people that will work toward it. I love teaching people how to do that by finding using common sense people that will duplicate, people that have lists of people who can downsell the great GRN product.
To those lurking Global Resorts Network is by far the best oppty out there since it has a stand alone product. Not many opptys can say that.

I have had various businesses for almost 14 years and have spent tens of thousands in marketing various opportunities. I am currently and ebay power seller as well. In that time I have never seen a business like this before and I knew better to jump on board while it is on the ground floor. This marketing arm is new but the company behind the product is 21 years. I actually was going to join with another travel membership just for the travel before I found Global Resorts. I researched Global Resorts network and various teams for three months because it seemed almost too good to be true. I had trouble with my payment and the corporate office refunded my money in a 2 days! I wanted to position myself to succeed at this and so wanted to join a team. The best team I found actually spends ten of thousands in various advertising campaigns and rotates the leads and sales that come in within the team to help you get started. They have a huge back office with lots resources and mentoring in various web 2.0 methods. How much would $1000 sales change your life ? Oh, and there is that lifetime membership to luxury resorts. A few of my partners are having $20,000 months !
thanks
Dan H

Glad to hear you are doing well, Dan.
Web 2.0 marketing is definitely a great way to go in this business. Highly targeted traffic without a huge expense. What I like most is my articles, videos, etc. stay out on the internet like "free billboards". Truly wonderful!

I have been in this industry for five years. The way to generate traffic is to quite simply fish in ponds that have people that will be more privvy to buying your product or partner up with someone who has a list of people who would be interested in your product. Most people are afraid to do this, but it is the real key to being successful. I enjoy mentoring on that.

Hi there,
I'd be interested in finding out more about your team. I have been reading about GRN for about 2 months now, and the more I learn about it, the more interesting it seems. Please tell me more about your team.
Thanks.

I have found success using a two prong attack. Instead of using the Reverse Funnel System I use the GRN Team Builder. It is a quarter of the cost and just as effective. It is less hypey and gets to the point discussing the product and the business opposed to the Reverse Funnel System that is looking to prey on the lazy and those looking for a fully automated system. I love using the GRN team builder because they offer Virtual Assistants that are very effective is closing sales for people. They walk your prospect through the WHOLE PROCESS. This system works perfect for me when I drive business oppty traffic to it. People love the free ebook and people love the straight forward approach.
I also am very good at using a retail site. This product sells itself. The product has been around for 22 years without the business opportunity attached to it. I teach and mentor people on how to find others that have lists of people out there that would be open to buying the product we are offering. It is a perfect downsell for those that cannot afford to spend 20k-30k on a timeshare. The product does save people tens of thousands of dollars over a lifetime and allows the customer to stay at four and five resorts. Trust me the product sells and it is easy to find money hungry people out there looking to offer this product to people they know.
When you combine these two strategies and the fact that Global Resorts Network offers a great product, systems that close sales, and a perpetual leverage compensation plan that is second to none. There is no need for the Reverse Funnel System anymore, these others ways are leading to mega duplication. Hopefully this answers some questions about the GRN team builder and its effectiveness. Take my 5 years experience in this industry the GRN Team Builder is better than the Reverse Funnel System.

For anyone who is not familiar with Global Resorts pay plan it pays
two equal commissions of a $1000 EVERY time someone buys their lifetime resort membership. One commission is paid directly to the person who made the membership sale and the other is paid directly to the up line of the sales person. So obviously it would benefit to properly train out down line to make sure we continue to receive residuals.
I believe in FREE ADVERTISING. Who doesn't like anything free. So I use a lot of web 2.0 methods to get free advertising and train my partners to do the same.
What other ways are others out there helping there down line succeed?
thanks Guys

Me and my partners are very very effective at bringing in people who have a background in our industry and having them contact their contacts who are very open to this product. That is leading to front line people who are producing. While I agree free advertising works it is very time consuming. You really got to get laser focused on who can bring you the most and approach them. We have put together some great sales letters to do that. GRN is here to stay no matter what system you use. Just go for it!

Quick question:
I just read on one of the other people's sites that even as a paying member, say a Platinum one, if your first sale is a Gold, you'll be a Gold Member. Is that true? I hope not.
Thanks to all for their feedback. Much appreciated as I am still doing my due diligence and will join GRN soon. The question is which team to join. That's the main dilemma I'm facing right now.
Cheers to all,

Hi Wanderlust. My team and I are more interested in what will work for you. You could promote Global Resorts in a numerous amount of ways.
You could promote it with Google ad words, word of mouth, off line,online,classifieds etc. You have the option to make calls your self or one of my sites I am using has professional virtual assistant call your prospects. We also implement free advertising methods that work well to have people chasing you instead of the other way around. You could use Youtube videos, my space,article submissions,blogs. These are some simple things we could show you to get you making money right out of the gate. The thing that makes our team unique is that we understand the value of training the partners we bring in rather than focused on personal sales.
You will have a huge back office of resources for you. To prove this we include FREE personalized websites for you to start with.
I could go on and on about us but again the important thing is what are you looking for. How much are you looking to make.We have 6 figure earners on our team. What is your motivation to look for a business and are you ready to change your life forever. We could give you 30 day plan after you start.
take care

GET THE RIGHT LEADS
wannaliveright,
Hang in there. I don't know how exactly you a generating leads but you need targeted people that are ready to join you. A great way is using You tube videos to personally brand yourself. Yo could go one step further and blast these videos all over the internet. Make sure that your link is on all videos which does two things. It gives people a chance to click onto your site and by having your back links everywhere you rank higher with Google FOR FREE!
