They must make a lot cause the places they are holidaying at are amazing. I might even start caming myself and go on the endless holiday too.

Marketing i...I was a design/marketing major @ ASU. Marketing is EVERYWHERE. We don't even notice it anymore, we're so used to it. MLM is NETWORK Marketing. Social Programming says "Pyramid Scheme"...but that's NOT what a pyramid scheme IS. If anything...A REAL MLM is a reverse pyramid. You can ONLY succeed by helping others to succeed...one of the reasons so many fail...they think it's a "majic pill" and don't know what it takes to make it work. It's about developing rapport, TALKING to people, getting to know them...finding out what it is they WANT and, if you know a product that could benefit them in some way...offering a solution. It's NOT about cheating people...it's actually a positive culture that focuses upon HELPING people & lifting each other up! <br /><br />IRL...the sales teams that are commission-based in common fields that you KNOW & trust...they teach cheating people. THEY teach that MONEY is everything & talking ppl into things whether they want it or not, tricking & lying if need be. That's the real irony of it. <br /><br />The people that you're talking to...they're REAL people. They dared to dream. Dared to hope. Dared to take a chance...and THAT takes courage. Many are looking for a way to give their kids a better life...and the thing is...it IS possible. Without developing the right mindset, skills & knowledge...probably not probable. <br /><br />When too many people tell them that they are stupid for dreaming...that dream dies. They are probably new & don't know what they're doing yet...especially if they didn't know the answers to the questions that you were trying to ask them. They are doing what they think they are TOLD to do...which works for SOME. The people that succeed...they failed A LOT before they figured it out...most people don't have the determination to endure criticism & failure. <br /><br />EVERYONE has failed at something before they figured it out...that's life, that's growth. If you REALLY want to do something good for someone...instead of humiliating and disheartening them...remember that they are REAL PEOPLE. If you don't like HOW they're doing it, which is the common factor in most of the stories...tell them to go to a site called MLSP. It's a learning platform for what they're trying to do. They'll learn A LOT just from the free training webinars offered. <br /><br />I'm not selling anything...I receive no incentive or commission for offering this information. I just believe in helping people.

Few weeks ago a girl had sent me message on my meetup account and invited me to have a chit chat that she likes to share traveling experiences etc. When i met her she start telling me about DreamTrip packages and how much she has earn etc. I told her i am already very busy and i dont want any part time money. After that she start describing daily on watsapp even i said i am not free for it then she asked me to ask your friends to meet me and join this. I told her this MLM system is not worth actually why should i pay $400 for membership after that every month $60 and what i will get if my friends will join you and why they should join you if i am not satisfied with this system. She had no reply but still want me to join this system. As a traveler i personally feel i don't need to join these kind of system, if i want to travel i will just book and travel. No need to be greedy to save some money like this which will cheat other people.

I have worked in warehouses, I have even drove a truck! All of that is time taken trying to provide for my family! (Yes I'm a female and a very beautiful one I may add) but I'm tired of working for bosses I never knew! Um.. don't we have a tv show called "Under cover bosses" y do they have to go undercover?! I'm pretty sure those people wouldn't know them any ways! Being in the MLM has been the best! The positive people that are around you! People teaching you how to become successful! Now people u can not be successful of you don't move! (Retail: if I no customers I had to find something to do, I just can't stand there) (driving: if I'm not driving my products to the customers, they will never recieve it)... I'm never going to knock any ones hustle. We all been a subject to something. I can't judge things I never tried! I wanna sing like beyonce, guess what I cant! I always wanted to play the piano, but I cant. But if I try my hardest to do these things and stay motivated, maybe I can! But I will never know unless I try! You always get what you put in, in anything you do in life!!! I'm pretty sure that since being here I loved every bit! Some like the negative people in here, you guys are very closed minded people and this might not be for you! That is great! But don't ever knock someone down for it! There having fun at what they do! There not listening to people that have the worst to say if you never tried it!.... oh by the way when u post anything on face book do u know who gets paid for that! Did u know that every like every post he is getting paid while sitting or going about his everyday life! Wouldn't that make him a network marketer? I haven't heard u complain about fb, but if u do the research you'll see! Netflix took blockbuster out! And I can see this company doing that to others! Scam?! we are in every day scams!

I am in world ventures, only for the travel though and to not make a business out of it, and the deals are very much true. Yeah there may be some deals that are just a bit cheaper than you may be able to buy from company directly but overall I have saved thousands by traveling through world ventures. It does seen sketchy that the person that approached you with the business wouldn't show you the deals because anyone that I know in the business would gladly do it. There's not much to hide there and I'm not sure why they made it an ordeal. It's not for everyone but if you love to travel then I would definitely give it a second chance.

If the other party had any intention of trying to sell anything, they should have been up front. When people lie to gain what they want all courtesy to give them continued grace is out the window. Furthermore, your Facebook friends shouldn't be seen as a waiting faceless group of recruits to be drawn from. People who approach other this way are abusing the bond they ever had with the person to make a quick buck. It's despicable. <br /><br />Good luck with your "legitimate business". That's what you call people call it, right?ElasticCassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05410566310753125964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-90198700281097805692014-07-29T15:11:53.607-05:002014-07-29T15:11:53.607-05:00There's a girl on my Facebook that does Dream ...There's a girl on my Facebook that does Dream Trips and she seems to make money. But that's how MLMs work. The people who get in early make money and they get perks for the more people they have below them. (In this case, perks being no membership fees - though honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they get better rates for the more levels of people they bring in under them). But eventually, people catch on, the internet gets all a titter and many people are stuck not being able to get enough recruits. <br /><br />She's subtly approached me several times, always vague, trying to get me to come to events. And it's always vague words like "I've got a 6 figure earner coming in". But never about how or what they're earning. <br /><br />I never show up, and never give any indication that I have any intention of showing up and she's let me alone. But I can't stand to see her making her kid hold up that stupid blue sign all over Facebook. It just seems wrong. <br /><br />Related: several years ago (in the rush of friending people I went to school with after I'd been out of school a couple of years), I get a strange phone call. It's some woman I've never met trying to pitch me into buying something or join a MLM scheme. Finally, she's like "Your friend _____ gave me your number and said you'd be interested." I was interested. I was very interested in why a girl I hadn't spoken to since 9th grade was giving out my number. Turns out, I had her on Facebook, and I keep my phone number visible to my Facebook friends. She'd went and found all of her acquaintances with a visible number and gave them to someone to fill her quota. I called her out on it on Facebook. She defriended me and I never got anymore calls. <br /><br />Sketchy. Sketchy. <br /><br />I won't claim to understand the difference between MLM and network marketing (network marketing really just seems like a way to con strangers on social networking into the pyramid rather than old schoolmates). But I'm wary of network marketing because there seems to be no product. How can you have a company and no goods coming out of it? Are they really just trading blurbs and branding for money? Probably not. If you can't easily see how the company works, don't trust it.

How many customers hate walmart, target, sears, costco? How many employees complain and hate them too? I get your point and I'm not arguing with you, but to say, "If a company has that many unhappy customers, there is a problem!" Could be said for just about any business out there, network marketing or not. lol <br /><br />So I looked this up on a site called Ripoffreport.com<br /><br />This company has 5 complaints<br />Mary Kay has 31 complaints<br />Avon has 534 complaints<br />Walmart has 1,818 complaints<br />Sears has 1,790 complaints<br />Verizon has 2,918 complaints<br /><br />My point? All companies have unhappy customers, it's not just this one. So based off of this info...should I stop buying Mary kay products? Or going to Walmart or Sears? Logic says no, because there will be people who hate the company and not shop there and people who like the company.<br /><br />I took it a step further...the BBB (I'm a curious cat, what can I say)<br />Has them listed at a B- rating, and they aren't BBB accredited<br />Verizon is BBB accredited and has no rating.<br />Avon is accredit and has an A+<br />Sears has an A rating.<br /><br />For a company with a B+ rating, is actually pretty dang good. People aren't going to like everything, it is what it is. But don't use the, "well they have so many unhappy customers, so they have to be bad." theory...there are 100 times more unhappy customers out there with places like Walmart and Target and Sears, then there are with this and yet...you don't hear people saying, "Well walmart has so many unhappy customers and employees, don't buy from them, their scam and a ripoff!"<br /><br />Like I said I get what you are saying, but it's just food for thought is all. And if I have to make a decision on this company on whether or not I will do this or not...I won't do it because someone says it's a scam or because "some people are unhappy with it" that's proof enough, especially when I know that there are tons more then THAT who are unhappy with the business that we have that's been for decades.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-42380862835963340232014-07-16T14:48:29.684-05:002014-07-16T14:48:29.684-05:00One more thing from previous post...
This is my ...One more thing from previous post...<br /><br /><br />This is my experience with MLM companies, I've also learned you can't believe everything you read on the net, especially Google. There are many companies out there, Sprint, Walmart, Target, Wells Fargo, etc that have really bad reports, but we don't hear about it because "it's a legit company", then the minute that someone with network marketing comes along it's "circle the wagons and get ready" type of mind set. But if you look harder at things, read more up on what you are putting down, don't believe every bad report out there as the sacred word on network marketing, then you might see that it's not so bad.<br /><br />As for your experience...I compare that with any other job. If you want to make an informed decision, talk to the people working it, if someone is new to the company, then talk to someone who has been in it for a while. I would do that with any company, whether it's Network Marketing, like this, or a job at Walmart. The employees are the best source for telling you if its worth it or not. Spend some time around them, get to know them, see what they are doing first hand, experience the atmosphere they work in. Don't just read up on companies online and make a decision that way.<br /><br />You know how many times my hubby read reviews for companies he was applying for, only to find out the company treated their employees like garbage and none of their employees were happy?<br /><br />You can get good things and bad things off the internet, you are proof of that. But I wouldn't recommend anyone read your blog and take it for the holy grail, because your experience doesn't speak for everyone else, neither does your view. I wouldn't tell people not to do Mary Kay because of how I was treated in the company or because of how I didn't make any money at it, because fact is...it was my personal experience and it doesn't speak or represent everyone in the company or the company as a whole. FYI I still like using Mary Kay products, but I will never sell for them again because of my experience and because I don't believe in the products enough to sell them!<br /><br />Good luck in whatever you do with your life though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-24020891083217696232014-07-16T14:47:45.744-05:002014-07-16T14:47:45.744-05:00I totally get what you are saying and how you feel...I totally get what you are saying and how you feel. I used to be with Mary Kay...but it didn't work out. I used to do Discovery Toys...but it didn't work out. I know someone in AdvoCare (I do use the products as a customer) and she does amazing for herself. All those times, it didn't work and I didn't make money, wasn't because it was a scam, it was because I wasn't putting the work into it and I know it. I didn't believe in the product, it wasn't products that I was using, so I had no real desire to sell them, hence the reason it didn't work for me. That doesn't make the company a scam.<br /><br />But here's the thing...with those products, you can either be a paying customer, buying products that may or may not go bad before you can use them all AND the amount of money you have to drop on those products to maintain product use. Or you can sign up as a rep for those companies and pay for the sign up fee and then buy product, which you may or may not sell. Being in those companies I've learned that it's important to provide cash and carry, so either way you are putting money into your business. Also look at how many make up or weight loss companies there are out there, trying to get your business, running competition against each other, not to mention all the reps within the companies you have to go against. Either way you can choose...<br />A. be a customer and spend tons of money for product every month, that may or not may not go bad.<br />B. be a rep and spend money signing up and on product so that you can increase your chances of selling.<br /><br />A true pyramid scheme is what we deal with every day...the CEO of a company makes tons of money, while the rest of us work our butts off to bring home squat. We work on his time and make him money and in the end we make squat. Where as this company and others like it, everyone has a chance to make money, depending on how hard you are willing to work for it.<br /><br />But like any network marketing company, you have to work for it. Nothing is free in life, you have to work hard in everything you do. A person's success depends on how much and how hard they are willing to work for it. I've seen people sign up for things like Mary Kay and Avon and AdvoCare, they barely worked the business or not at all and then complain because they weren't making money. Well, I always say...you can ask God for a job all you like, but unless you are willing to get off your butt and go out and look for it, then don't expect him to help you. Same thing here...you can't complain about something if you aren't willing to put the time in.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-57468911654070029662014-05-13T04:01:51.218-05:002014-05-13T04:01:51.218-05:00Great post!

This blog was so much longer in com...Hey Everyone,<br /><br />This blog was so much longer in comments than it was in content lol. Now while I'm not a member of Worldventures, I am involved in the Network Marketing industry. This comment doesn't necessarily warrant a response. I strictly wanted to voice my opinion as a network marketing professional. <br /><br />A legitimate business will have their compensation plan available online to be viewed, so while I did google Worldventures - I also googled Worldventures Compensation plan and I did find it available online. What it said in it's entirety is neither here nor there but the thing I did find is that you will not be paid strictly for recruiting more representatives into the company (that would have been a real unlawful red flag!)<br /><br />Also, the term pyramid scheme, by definition does not provide a product or service but is usually referred to as a business model where the people at the top of the pyramid shape make the most money. This is not true for Worldventures (source, compensation plan 2013) nor the MLM that I am involved in. There is a binary system (two sides) that is designed to allow each representative equal opportunity to earn as much income as possible without putting a larger income in their sponsors pocket. This system exists in most MLMs created within the past 10-15 years. This my friends, is the reason I joined network marketing. <br /><br />The difference between a network marketer and a sales person isn't much - the main difference is that as a network marketer you can continue to get paid regardless of additional sales made (earning a passive income). But like a sales person, you are required to sell a product or service initially (not recruit representatives) in order to obtain an income.<br /><br />While I do not agree with the way you were approached, I do think that you should have at least given your acquaintance the courtesy of listening to their pitch, even if it were just to provide feedback as to what they should work on. As network marketers, once we hear that you are not interested, the pitch is meant to cease - which I would imagine is why you did not hear back from them (much better than them being pushy and attempting to keep selling you, wouldn't you agree?). They do need to work on their approach but one thing I think that you should consider is viewing a Worldventures presentation (google worldventures presentation). I watched one given by Matt Morris (that name probably means nothing to you but I read his book a little while back so his name rang a bell and that is why I chose to watch his presentation).<br /><br />My reasoning for suggesting that you watch the presentation isn't for you to go join worldventures (it may not be for you), but to understand what their members see in the product. When debating, it's good to understand both sides rather than to do our own research and think that it will give us all of the answers (there were trip examples included on that presentation - you once mentioned that you were looking for those)<br /><br />Side Note - People often degrade network marketing but it takes a certain mind to understand it, not everyone will. Just as not everyone will like a place where they will never make more money than their boss or CEO (that income is only guaranteed until we no longer have that position). This criticism may seem absurd to most, that's alright. Criticism of network marketing baffles me everyday.<br /><br />I do wish you the best in your future blogging!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-61352158887292121192013-12-07T03:29:50.959-06:002013-12-07T03:29:50.959-06:00Hi Everyone,

I honestly just don't have the time to go through each and every comment and give feedback. To those of you who have voiced your opinions in a polite and respectful manner, thank you! I sincerely appreciate feedback, even if you disagree with me. However, if your sole intent is to be rude, to bash me, or to make me look stupid, don't waste your time typing out a hateful comment. It only serves to make you look brainwashed and desperate to save a company that you're too tightly woven into to recognize a single flaw. Honestly, I find it funny that half of the people who try to insult my intelligence can't even manage to put together a single grammatically correct sentence. This blog post is based upon my experiences, and the experiences of others. I have never claimed that anything I learned about the company could be considered "research." Those who aim to bash me have used that term, but I literally just googled it in search of other people's experiences. I have never claimed to be a business expert. I have simply stated my experience with a member, and have discussed concerns that others have had. The vast number of unhappy members/former members and the many people who have been approached in the same way as I was should ALL be signs of a failing business model, scam or no scam (although I do still stand by my "scam" belief). If you can't see that, then I fail to see how I'm the ignorant and illogical person in this situation.Kristen Brighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16947782400794390038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-81543175374983060952013-12-01T20:05:23.642-06:002013-12-01T20:05:23.642-06:00I am too a Member of DreamTrips Life and a Rep for...I am too a Member of DreamTrips Life and a Rep for World Ventures. I first got involved in 2009, but didn't do anything til 2013. Mostly because I was busy and didn't take the time to really see how it could change my life. It wasn't until I went on a cruise and a company event that got me thinking: Wow, this can really work! Jesse Crook said it very well. I do not know of this person in any way either. I am actually a hard working RN, mother of 3 (2 whom are Autistic) and still manage to share this idea with others. I too, do not try to trick people. It is obvious, people like to travel, save money, and have fun. Some people like to even make money. So why not share this with them? It doesn't matter to me either way if they love it, or plain not interested. I am sorry if you felt uncomfortable when someone showed it to you. I do have to admit, I did some evidence based research before re-signing up. And not the Google search kind of research. I mean, I can go on Google and find bad things about McDonalds, or Walmart or the Salvation Army. Doesn't mean I still don't eat, shop or support them either. And I seen someone commented about the BBB. Check out ABC news and the investigation they did with the BBB. It is scam in itself, giving FAKE Companies and Terroist groups A+ ratings because they opted to make a contribution to the company and other well to do companies poor scores because they did not pay off the BBB.<br />All in all, if not everyone is going to like every company out there. Corporate America is based of a pyramid if you look at it the right way, all the people on bottom do most the work and get paid the least, and there is only one guy at the top. MLM companies are thriving allowing anyone the opportunity to reach the top based off their own hard work.

Of course they are going to defend the company because they are trying to sell you something. You state that this "Memberships" trips are cheaper than other sites but what about the initiation fee and the fact that you have to pay $60 a month until you can get a certain amount of people under you. I know that a certain amount of your money goes in to your "vacation fund" but the higher ups are making money somewhere. How long did you pay that $60 a month for? Is it worth it to abuse your family and friends and ruin your reputation to get people under you in a desperate attempt at $60 a month saved? Did anyone ever take into account these factors? I would also like to say that I am appalled by the rude comments and accusations made against musicislife. Being immature does not change the fact that some of you have been roped into a scam and are now very bitter about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-64526564306233082182013-11-23T15:04:35.292-06:002013-11-23T15:04:35.292-06:00Continued:

The way i was attempted to be recruited was also extremely rude and unnecessary, however that doesn't mean every rep in the company operates this way. When i talk to people about our company i simply ask them in a straight forward manner "do you like to travel" or "would you like to make some extra money working part-time from home". I try to conduct my business as honestly as possible but unfortunately that doesnt mean everyone will do the same. Every form of business and or franchise, is going to have good and bad people no matter what. <br /> On multiple occasions throughout this blog you've mentioned that no one is willing to share prices or savings with you, or when you ask them to "prove it" they don't respond. I'd like to offer you an opportunity to take a look on the inside and be able to discern hard facts for yourself. You can look me up of facebook or send an email to me at my personal email which is ebaymadesimple@msn.com. I will privately give you access to view these "so called savings" for yourself and possibly help you in developing an educated opinion on our company. The same offer goes for anyone else reading this blog that would like to truly learn more about our company. I will not attempt to defend my company by bashing your or name calling like some of these others have as i believe that is just childish and wrong, but i would like you to take an honest look at what we are offering and see for yourself that we provide value to the marketplace. <br /> Lastly, i am a Director in the company and will tell you first hand my family and i have booked 17 trips through our company and by comparing to the next best price have saved roughly $8,950 total. Please contact me personally so we can work together to get you all the correct and true information. <br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />Jesse CrookJesse Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392634667168080434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-47596049751609435242013-11-23T15:03:56.010-06:002013-11-23T15:03:56.010-06:00MusicIsLife,

I find it interesting when reading blogs about our company they are always one extreme or the other. Either people who have had a "bad experience" and are expressing their concerns, or someone who "is in love" with our company and posts a blog with nothing but good things to say. I myself, just like you was approached by someone who i hadn't talked to in years who wanted to share this "amazing business opportunity", "cheap vacations", "get rich" plan to me. He contacted me for months and i'd typically hang up the phone on him or ignore his calls because i just knew "he was wanting me to get involved in a pyramid scheme". After months of ignoring him i got to the point where i was so insanely out of my mind frustrated with him calling that i decided i would meet with him purely for the purpose of debunking his "so called travel club". Well when i met with him he was smart, he had a Chiropractor there who was someone from his upline to help explain the information because he wasn't really competent enough to do it him self. I had worked in the auto industry for many years and knew instantly his purpose in coming was to be the "closer". He began by telling me his story and how this company had changed his life (all of which i expected). This made me even more skeptical than i was from the beginning but i reluctantly proceeded to watch the video that gave all the information. My attitude went from having my arms crossed and completed closed minded to slightly open minded to wow i wonder it this could really work? Now the presentation was over and of course i knew what was coming.... "would you like to become a member, a rep, or both?" i was asked by the Chiropractor. I quickly said "neither". Now in the back of my mind this entire time i was thinking "this might really work", "what if this does work", "i wonder how much i could save on vacations" but i was a professionally trained sales machine and wasn't about to let them know that. Long story short, after many hours of questions and getting lots more "credible" information i made the decision to become a member and rep. I'll be honest with you, at this point i still didn't believe in the company, i still thought it was a pyramid scheme, and i wasn't sure if it was legal or not myself. When i got home my wife asked me what the meeting was about and i told her "well i'm not really sure completely, but its a travel club and we might be able to make a little extra money by selling memberships to others", she rolled her eyes and thought i was a little crazy (as did i myself). For the first two weeks i did nothing but some "hard fact research" learning about what makes a company a legitimate network marketing company (Am-Way, MaryKay, Herbalife, Prepaid Legal, Avon etc) and what makes a illegal scam or pyramid scheme (FHTM, Hung Hom firm, Saradha Group, MNC). What i found was any company which sells a legitimate product and does not allow its reps to make income by "recruiting" other reps falls into the category of a "legitimate network marketing company". WorldVentures was nominated by Ernst and Young for the "entrepreneur of the year award" in 2010, has earned multiple Magellan travel awards, and among other things was rated "#1 online booking engine for 2012" by the World Travel Awards. I know you'd have to look into these things for yourself in order to believe me as you don't have any reason to assume what i'm saying is correct.Jesse Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392634667168080434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835074222125929757.post-11296541104567469002013-11-20T04:10:36.560-06:002013-11-20T04:10:36.560-06:00As P.T.
