Welcome to YTB. Congratulations on taking the first step joining a winning team. I say congratulations because so many people say "I hate my job" or "I want more" but don't do anything about it. They just keep offering lip service. Something that I have realized lately is that if you do nothing in life, you will get exactly that - NOTHING!
I want you to know that I am committed to this business and to my team. This will not be something that is all work and no play. I do believe that we will have fun while we are working towards our goals. I do not want you to forsake any time with family or friends for YTB. I want you to do this business one day at a time. Some people feel they have to "recruit" the entire world. I believe we should just focus on one person a day and take it from there. It is important to spend time training your team members so that they can train others and so on. This will help you have a healthy and lasting team.
I am excited to work with you and I am committed to helping you succeed!

Message From Lloyd Tomer (Coach) - MUST SEE!!!
Excerpts From "A Message From Juliet St. John"
Juliet St. John is an inspiration to a lot of people in this industry. When she joined the company in 2004, she didn't have enough money to pay for a hotel room and she was sleeping in her car in order to put her kids through school. Within a year of working the YTB business, she became so successful that she retired her mother. After four years with YTB, she makes an incredible seven-figure income. She has now earned more than one million dollars a year and has been named a Level 6 Director at YTB. How did she do it? A lot of hard work and lot of home travel parties.
Now that her life is transformed through her work with YTB, she focuses her energies on helping others achieve success. In a quote from the new 2008 Success From Home magazine (available in your Back Office),Juliet states, "It's not me -- it's the team that got me here." She knows why her business will never diminish -- she says she doesn't have to sell people on the idea of travel. "Travel creates memories. Great memories that people keep forever."
Juliet St. John - YTB's leading lady, top female money earner wrote: One of the greatest benefits of your Network Marketing business is the support that is available to you from your upline leader....Likewise, one of your keys to success in your Network Marketing business lies in stepping up to leadership....As an effective leader, your job is to support, teach, and train others to become leaders and achieve high levels of success for themselves. On the other hand, 'support' does not mean 'carry'...
Remember Your Job is to:
* FIND MOTIVATED PEOPLE --- not TO MOTIVATE PEOPLE.
* FIND a handful of PEOPLE WHO SEE WHAT YOU SEE, and will "pick up the ball, and run with it!"
* TEACH motivated people the proven steps to building a successful business.
* TRAIN AND SUPPORT people who will take action on their own, not to "pump up" and carry people who won't.
* DEVELOP "Independent" RTAs, not "Dependent" RTAs.
Teaching, sharing ideas and resources, helping and supporting Representatives in your organization are essential to your success. But "supporting" is not "carrying". Don't cripple your RTAs in your effort to support them. Be sure to teach them how to develop and maintain their own successful businesses and become leaders on their own.

Now let's talk about California and some of the Attacks being made on YTB:
Have you ever heard of a company, that has never had a bad word spoken about them? Let me use an example of one company that you all know about and have heard about.
Before I tell you the name of this company let me ask you a questions.
Would you invest or buy stock in a company that has:
Been sued so many times, can't be counted.
Thousand if not millions of unhappy customers around the world. If you were to ask 8 out of 10 people about this company they will tell you that they have had a numerous bad experience with their product at least on a daily basis.
More bad press than any company has ever had in history.
In trouble with the department of Justice and local state agency for anti-trust in the past years. If you search Google and search for their name + lawsuit your will find 26,900 websites about this company.
In trouble with the FTC numerous times.
Paid millions of dollars in fines of the years.
Numerous class-action lawsuit currently in supreme courts.
History of releasing bad products, before they have been tested properly.
Oh, by the way I should also tell you that this company has over 80% of the market share in their category.
Their stock price has been up and down over the years.
Have also lost millions of customers over the years.
I know what most of you are thinking, I would not only never use their product or service, but also would never buy their stock. Right?
And, if you said NO, NO, NO. Then you would have missed out on one of the best producing companies in history.
And most of you should just stop using your computer because the company I have been talking about is: Microsoft.
My point is:
That if you are looking for bad news about any company you will find it. If people are not talking about a company, the company is most likely not growing or doing anything.
People love bad news, bad news sells.
It took Microsoft over 15 years to hit 1 Billion in sales annually.YTB is about to do it in 8.
Only 90 BBB filings against YTB? In comparison to other similar online agencies listed in Travel Weekly's top 35, that's a great track record!
Other BBB top complaint companies:
Expedia.com - The BBB processed a total of 1024 complaints about this company in the last 36 months.
Orbitz - The BBB processed a total of 1729 complaints about this company in the last 36 months
Travelocity - Number of complaints processed by the BBB in the last 36 months: 1528. And in the last 12 months: 533.
Not to mention...American Express (Travel Related Services Co.) - The BBB processed a total of 606 complaints about this company in the last 12 MONTHS.
Some of you know and some of you don't know that California filed a lawsuit against YTB for deceptive sales practices and operating a pyramid scheme. We don't have any secrets here at YTB and we don't keep any secrets.
YTB has been in meetings with California for months over a new proposed law in that state concerning the travel industry and it's potential impact on our business. The discussions reached a stalemate and California filed suit.
Folks, this is not the first time YTB has been challenged.
When any company is revolutionizing an industry, and growing faster than any other company in the industry, the industry doesn't like it. In our case, that is the travel industry. It is not a coincidence that last year YTB showed up as #35 on the Power List, and within 3 months we were challenged by IATA, Royal Caribbean, and Rhode Island.
Why do you think that happened?
The industry doesn't like us.
Now we are #26 on the Power List. This lawsuit is a result of the INDUSTRY putting pressure on the lawmakers, not an issue of whether YTB is in compliance with California law.
We will be challenged. We will be shot at. It has happened to EVERY company that changed an industry. It happend to Microsoft, Walmart, IBM, McDonalds, Amway, Mary Kay, Excel, A.L. Williams, and every other company that revolutionized their industry.
Why do you think we would be different --- especially when we are taking over the largest indutry in the world?
This is EXPECTED.
Coach, Scott, and Kim are not rookies to this business. They have fought these battles before and won. The blessing WE have is that we have them running the show, and they have "been there, done that" before and been victorious.
During this time we will lose some weak reps. We know that. There will be competitors out there trying to steal our people. We know that. There will be some fear and indecision out there. We know that too.
But there will also be LEADERS that step up. There will be CHAMPIONS born. There will be people that just decide that WE ARE READY for a fight.
That's US.
WE are READY FOR THE FIGHT. We are READY to go kick some butt. We are READY to STAND UP AND LEAD OUR TEAM THROUGH THIS CHALLENGE.
DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT your company's commitment to YOU. DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT that we will win this thing. DON'T YOU EVER DOUBT that YTB will be the #1 Travel Company in the World --- No Matter What We Have To Go Through.
REST ASSURED --- YTB is all over this issue. Our attorneys are already in California working on this. This WILL BE RESOLVED, and when it is, YTB will be even stronger because of it.
Have faith in Coach, Scott, Kim, and your company to handle this matter. They will handle it. It is just a bump in the road.
There are 4 things that WE can do to help.
1) Sell more travel. Tell EVERYONE you know that you own a travel business and ask them to book their travel with someone they know vs someone they don't know. The more travel we sell, the more power we have.
2) Sell more Travel Stores. Go find every friend you have that wants to get paid to travel, get tax deductions when they travel, and travel for less, and sell them a travel store. The more travel stores we have, the more travel we sell.
3) Do not talk to the media. If someone tries to talk to you that has a notebook, a microphone or a camera, just tell them to send their questions to media@ytb.com, and refuse to talk with them. We have to let Coach, Scott and Kim fight this battle. We need to stay out of it.
4) Step Up and LEAD YOUR TEAM. Nobody wants to follow a weak, disillusioned, crybaby, pansy. At times like this, they look for STRONG, COMMITTED, POWERFUL Leadership. You need to STEP UP and be that LEADER for your team. Talk to them. Keep them informed. Let them know where you stand. Tell them --- You can quit if you want to, but I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE FOR THE FIGHT. It's gonna be WORTH it to me and my family for generations to come. That's what Leaders do.
Team, Coach, Scott, Kim, and all of the Directors that were in that meeting last night are a FAMILY.
We are here for the long haul. There is NO FEAR in any of our eyes. None of us came here to get this far and fail. WE WILL WIN THIS THING. WE WILL BE THE #1 Travel Company in the world. WE ARE READY FOR THE FIGHT.
We never said it would be EASY. We said it would be WORTH IT.
You just BE TOUGH, and communicate to your teams that they just have to BE TOUGH, and we will ALL WIN.
Let's go BUILD A COMPANY TOGETHER.
REMEMBER: Never deprive anyone of hope; it may be all that they have!
