Reverse Funnel System Internet Scam Is A Matter Of Perception

There are two definite differences of opinions about the veracity of claims made by Global Resorts Network. There are those that work at selling their travel packages and those who have used them, and the flip side by those who were not happy with their dealings with the company. While this is common with many businesses, the age of the internet can either send out misleading, false information in a heartbeat or it can help spread the word, albeit misleading, in the same heartbeat.

While both sides of the issue have salient points with the truth located somewhere in the middle whenever a company is accused of being fraudulent or a scam, it harms their business, often with devastating results. Fortunately, with over 20 years of history in the travel industry Global Resorts Network has opened the sale of vacation packages to network marketing and are helping many individuals take the vacation of their dreams while setting them up in their own home based business.

The unfortunate part of accusations of scams, especially those posted online, is that often times many of the facts are misunderstood or left out either by accident or on purpose. For example, with another vacation package company, a former sales associated offered packages for sale on an online auction site. This person sold a high-price package at a vastly discounted price. When the person went to use the package they learned it was not valid as the person they bought it from could not register their certificates with the company since they did not work for them anymore.

When the buyer contacted the company, they had no record of the sale and when they attempted to reach the seller they found they were longer listed with the auction company and information they had supplied was fraudulent. Despite the fact the buyer had made the purchase through an auction and no money was ever paid to the travel company, they went to scam sites and reported the activity as though it was done by the company.

Another way that companies end up on a scam report is if the seller exaggerates the benefits of their travel package or the buyer does not fully understand what they are supposed to be getting with their package level. In some cases when a seller is desperate to make a sale they will say whatever the buyer wants to hear in order to secure their purchase. This misrepresentation or misunderstanding will usually result in a charge of a company selling fraudulent vacation packages.

When companies open the door to internet marketing, there is also a chance they will open the door to charges of fraud. With many individuals authorized to sell vacation packages, and many independent network marketers offering them for sale, the company can provide all the information and training available to make sure the offer to sell packages is completely explained. However, in order for some sales associates to convince someone to sign up under them, they make outrageous “guarantees” about the expected level of income.

Reverse Funnel System - Resort Vacations Available Around The World

Let's get away from the technical aspect of the Reverse Funnel System for a second.

For about 20 years, Global Resorts Network sold vacation packages for between $8,000 and $12,000 without any opportunity make any money. This meant that people were buying into the resort vacation club to take vacations, expecting nothing in return but a great vacation.

Not that long ago, Global Resorts Network formed a marketing arm to offer a business opportunity to those who want to experience a new lifestyle.

They also dropped the price of their vacation packages, making them more affordable to a wider range of people and to make them easier to sell in a global market. Their members are not limited by geography and the member hotels and resorts have far fewer black out dates than many other plans. That means there's more flexibility in planning a vacation around your schedule, instead of planning it around available accommodations.

Additionally, people who want to earn a residual income can join a team that can make as much as $1,500 on every qualified sale of a product that has been sold for considerably more money. Additionally, they can earn money with commissions from other successful sellers of vacation memberships that they recruit into the company.

Timeshares and other "discount" travel companies often require annual or monthly maintenance fees, but with membership at Global Resorts Network there is only the initial charge, and no other fees to pay to the company… ever. Compared to some vacation clubs that charge an annual fee of more than $900, this is a significant savings.

Discounts available are not limited to resort hotels, as they can be used on cruise and at ski reports. Some of the savings include seven-night stays at four and five-star resorts -- for between $300 and $700, depending on the time of year. There are also special weeks where the hotels offer even bigger discounts to Global Resorts Network members.

The biggest advantage is having access to a global market of resorts, and for those choosing to participate in the selling aspect, the pay plan allows you to receive commissions on your sales -- as well as commissions on the sales of those you recruit, in perpetuity. This not only provides a steady and improved level of income, but it also provides future income for better financial security.

While the pay plan is centered on driving new business by recruiting new sales associates, the primary goal is to sell vacation packages through the company's web site as well as through personal contact. Many participants believe it is the best way for potential customers to learn about all the benefits of the packages as well as being able to get instant answers to any questions they may have.

The Reverse Funnel System makes it dramatically easier to sell without that personal contact. By taking away the one limiting and variable factor (you), the Reverse Funnel System has made it incredibly easy for anyone to make a fantastic full-time income with Global Resorts Network.
