Truth To Wealth is an affiliate site for Global Resorts Network. I have an exclusive knowledge of this business since we were members of GRN through the Reverse Funnel System. Global Resorts is a discount travel vacation package provider which  competes on price with those online travel services like Expedia and Travelocity. About one third of the time you can do better with GRN.

The problem is availability. They negotiate for lower rates, usually with lower end hotels or family owned motels. You won’t be getting a discount at a Hilton or Marriott. In fact when I looked for a hotel in New York all I found was some camp up in the Catskills. Yes, ONE lodge in their program at the time for all of New York State.  There are some good deals, but you can probably do just as well scanning the discount travel sites for good deals there also. Many of the rooms look very dated, you’ll see more shag carpeting browsing the listings than an episode of the original Bob Newhart show.

The business end of things is the back end office you use like Reverse Funnel, there’s also several others that are less expensive that will provide tested auto responders, telemarketer teams, and other ways to support your leads and turn them into sales. Since I’m not here to blast sunshine and puppy dogs into your monitor, let me tell you the downside to this as well. Global Resorts is a nice membership, but it costs $3,000 to join, you get $1,000 each time you sign someone up, and you get $1,000 when your downline does the same. There is a way to dramatically increase those commissions, but when we spoke with Reverse Funnel support and asked them about it, they said they couldn’t even talk about it. If you want to know the secret, contact me and I’ll tell you how to do it.

This is what gets most people into it, just the big dollar signs. The problems are that you have to be able to get business opportunity seekers in droves because their failure rate is going to be sky high. In today’s economy, getting people with $3,000 plus all the advertising money needed to push this through is going to make it hard. Most of the people doing GRN are recruitment mills, they get you in, then the nonstop deluge of “dream you’re rich and you will be” and conference calls where you have to sit through 40 minutes of talk and hype to get the little snippet of information you were after.
The heart of the problem is you have to recruit people who really know Internet marketing, or those who have the financial legs to spend on advertising. These are far and few between. Most people who will sign up for this have dollar signs in their eyes, and are usually doing this because financially their backs are to the walls and they want a quick fix. Of course, here lies the problem.

Global Resorts is a good package for someone who travels a lot, but with the economy the way it is, it’s a hard sell. Usually you’ll only sign up the greedy, desperate, or ill prepared to find the huge number of opportunity seekers you’re going to need to find the ones with a few thousand dollars to risk. If someone travels a lot, they will save some money with this membership.

That’s not the problem though, when doing it as a business, you just won’t find enough people to make it worth doing. Any MLM system depends on your downline doing well, not just as a recruitment mill making a one time profit. Most people doing GRN see it that way, and just are out for their commissions that way.

This is why this kind of system will be around for a few years, but no longer than that. Most of the marketers I know have done it, run it’s course, and then gave it up for something more solid. It’s short term money, not something that you can stay with for 10 years.
