"It also states that in the Power Rankings published by Travel Weekly, this did include the sales of the online stores, and training materials. So that 226 million was not just travel sales."

Maynard;

I'm a man of my word. I said I would post it, and here it is.

I also said it was BS, and I see that it is.

I posted the entire article for everyone to read Maynard, not just a sentence. Notice that this article is all about our Travel Agency. Notice travel sales stem from highly sought after leisure sales. Notice it interviews Kim Sorensen, YTB Travel Network President, not Scott or Coach. Notice it refers to Carnival sales, not networking sales. Notice the beginning of the paragraph you conveniently left out.

"The 2007 Power List was primarily ranked by an agency's gross sales volume. [Not YourTravelBiz gross volume] certified by the company's owner, chief executive officer or chief financial officer."

Furthermore, I don't see worded there...how was it..."include the sales of the online stores, and training materials." on the entire page let alone paragraph?

Why is that mysteriously missing from your first quote? You did say that you "verify" before you posted it?

Oh, I get it...you ass-u-me that it means sales of online stores and training materials. You put that in there thinking that's what it meant. Who do you think your kidding? That's not verifying, that's guessing!

All you were able to do was excite John who is going to be very disappointed after he rushes out to get his copy when that entire page doesn't mention a blessed thing about the Networking Side of our business.

Reminds me of Pavlov's dog who starts salivating when he hears a bell. (Sorry John, no pun intended, but it IS funny!)

Well, I too know how to "verify" before I post, so once again, I'm going to ask you how do you explain Travel Weekly quoting Kim Sorensen on October 24th?

"Sorensen said that the figure reflected the total value of bookings that had resulted from referrals by its agents, not YTB's actual net revenue."

You want to learn how to "verify", take a look at my "verification" and tell me again that I don't verify. Go ahead.

Maybe it's not your integrity I should be worried about; it could be your intelligence.

Take your pick. But you need to drop this nonsense that the Travel Weekly numbers included Networking Revenue. It's BS and you need to do a far better job about "verifying" before you start messing with the likes of a 3 year YTB veteran who knows this business far better than someone who simply joined to dig up dirt.

Thank you for letting that item go…the first step is admitting.

Now, on to your Director figures…

I didn't forget, or didn't want to challenge, I have to take one challenge at a time Maynard. I stick with facts one at a time and we work it through until you understand it.

Now…do you really understand the Directors Program?

You said..

"150 directors in YTB, each with a minimum of 500 in their downline. This means these 150 represent almost half the RTA's in the organization."

Take the same success from home magazine and look at pate 43, 44, and 45 and add up how many RTA's these few directors represent. Based on your crack logic these few represent 215,000 RTA's. That was at press time, and who knows when that was but we only have something like 150,000 RTA's right now.

Please explain how you have the first clue how 150 Directors Represent half of YTB?

$226 Million in 2006, $550 Million in 2007, $1 Billion or more in 2008.

$1 Billion is something only 12 other companies are doing right now Maynard. Doesn't take much to overtake you traditionalist does it?
