World Ventures thread????

[denyse]

I understand what you mean Craig. But have you really read the things he says??

There is no way he can ever be involved in a NWMg business because he doesn't even subscribe to the principles of marketing and travel. And that's ok. My main focus is travel but I think adding the marketing portion is a brilliant idea.

[Craig Mattice]

Hey Denyse,

No, I wouldn't place him on the NY Best Seller's List by any means and I know what you mean about how he presents himself on the forums. I do wish for more positive interactions though.

I agree with you 100% about the application of NWM to the travel industry and YTB has broken all of the molds and led the way for all of the others to follow successfully.

[denyse]

Thanks Craig.

[JessicaByers]

Craig, great points and posts.

Denyse, i see what you are saying and i have read most of bruce's post i think and i do think deep down he is a little bit interested in NWM, but he does not really understand it and don't know as much as we do, but if any new person who are looking into NWM would learn about it, they would see what an awesome business it is.

When i first started in NWM i had all my family and friends being negative about it just like Bruce, but when they started to learn about it and saw what i was doing some of them have changed their mind and some still have a hard head...lol...excuse my expression.... and still don't get it.....either you get it or you don't.

That's true Jessica. It is an awesome concept. Try telling that to many in the travel industry. And I don't know why MLM works so well with everyone except travel.

[JessicaByers]

I know Denyse, unfortunately the travel industry is a little bit different, i don't let it bother me too much though, i focus on building my business, both the travel part and helping people work at home as travel agents.

no, Jessica - i have no interest in NWM other than to try and understand why 90% of the people involved fail. NWM and travel are NOT a good mix because the margins are too small and many who are successfull with it MUST recruit or fail. I said Many, not all. Actually it is the majority who fail. 85% of YTBers fail and I imagine that is true of Traverus and WV as well. So recruit away ladies.


Nice recruitment attempt there Utopia - got any YTBers to change their tune? Don't give up your day job just yet!

[Linda Hinkle]

Bruce I can't understand why most of your post's are negative but what
I have noticed is most people who are always unhappy try and make the
people around them feel the same way![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

You
always seem to be putting down NWM/ travel and how everyone fails just
wondering do you go over to the people who NWM potions, lotions, pills
and candles forum and put them down too?

I can usually
turn the other cheek but just am so very tired of it, and don't feel good so you
have managed to pull me down to your level today!

***sigh***

[denyse]

Linda, I hope you feel better!!
Do not let anyone bring you down to their level. You can tell something is wrong there. If you've followed the threads, he's gone from not liking NWM, to becoming a part of a travel/MLM (just to gather what he can so he can trash them), to recruiting ONE member, to recruiting NONE, to AGAIN never wanting to be a part of NWM. It's just a roller coaster.

I know he's just fronting, but what's the point?? If one can't contribute something meaningful to these folders, they really shouldn't participate.

Feel better and don't think about this!
