Did you know that the worldwide travel industry is estimated to be a Seven Trillion dollar marketplace? And in spite of tight budgets, people everywhere refuse to give up their vacation, even if it means financing it with a credit card or loan. According to a January 2008 report from the Travel Industry Association, domestic and international travelers spent an estimated 740 million dollars in the United States in 2007. No doubt, the travel industry is big business. (source: www.tia.org)
As a Global Resorts member, you have access to over 5,000 luxury resort properties, all around the world. Unlike those hotel points that you save up, or the frequent flier programs, there are no blackout dates or limitations on usage. Choose where you want to go, when you want to go, book and confirm the reservation, and pay only $299-$799 for an entire week. This is a complete price, not a per person cost.
If you compare the identical properties on sites such as Expedia and Orbitz, you will learn that the Global Resorts membership will get you savings of up to 75%, on the very same dates and locations. And, you have access to a professional customer service center for assistance with your booking and travel arrangements, including discounted air fare.
Global Resorts is not a timeshare membership. If you have ever been the owner of a time share, you know that there are usually limits of one or two weeks per year that you may travel. Also, most time share owners are hit with annual maintenance fees, which can be several hundred dollars extra per year.
Global Resorts offers two levels of membership. The Gold Membership Level is currently $1495 for three years access. The Platinum Membership, currently $2995, offers lifetime access. Since the average American family spends several thousand dollars for a single week of vacation, it's easy to see how the GRN membership is an excellent investment.
The GRN business opportunity is optional for anyone who purchases a Gold or Platinum membership. If you have ever attempted to create an extra income stream with network marketing, this is a very different type of compensation plan.
When you make a Platinum sale, you will earn $1,000. When you make a Gold sale, the commission is $500. There are also handsome bonuses and overrides in the comp plan. You will pass up your first very commission to your sponsor. However, you do not pass up the person, only the commission.
When your new person makes their first sale, that commission will roll up to you. And because of this feature of the compensation plan, each sponsor is very motivated to assist new people with their marketing efforts.
You can plug immediately into one or more approved GRN marketing systems, such as Truth to Wealth, Global Pro Builder or GRN BizBuilder. These all require monthly fees. Or, you can use the default corporate GRN site and be up and running very quickly.
I'm one of those people who like to have the best, most recent innovations that technology has to offer. The first time I got satellite TV was way back in the day when the satellite dish was so huge it nearly took over the backyard. Thankfully, advances in technology almost always mean smaller and smaller devices. Just look at how far we've come with cell phones.
We've moved a time or two over the years, and for a while were limited to cable service. It was almost worth it to move again, just so we could have satellite service. We'd been spoiled and cable just didn't cut it for us. But now we had more options to choose from and thanks to the Internet the sources for information about those options is virtually limitless.
After careful research, I decided to go with Dish Network, and I'll tell you why. First of all, if cost is important, as it was for me, Dish Network is hands down the best value for your money. With basic packages starting at under $20, you just can't beat them for great prices.
Dish Network offers the most high definition channels available, including local channels in many areas. If you've never seen HDTV, you may not be aware of the enormous difference it makes in your TV viewing. I was astonished, and now can't imagine going back to watching "regular" TV.
With a large family that includes two teenagers, a 'tweener and an 8 year old, I had to consider who offered the largest variety of programming. Again, Dish Network came out on top with over 250 channels, including over 30 commercial-free movie channels.
There's something for everyone in the family, no matter what their preference is. I even have my choice from 55 different sports channels!
I also looked at the equipment offered by various satellite TV providers. Dish Network's equipment and professional installation is free and they offer the latest in cutting edge technology. I personally prefer their high definition DVR. It allows you to record up to 55 hours of HD programming or 350 hours of standard TV. I'm never at a loss for something great to watch and I NEVER miss a favorite show (or the big game).
Dish Network also leads the industry in customer service, which is an important consideration when subscribing to a satellite TV system, believe me. You don't want to be stuck with some know-nothing on the other end of the line when you need something taken care of. Their friendly representatives are available 24/7 online and by phone, so even if you have a question in the middle of the night, there's someone there to help you.
Oh, and I shouldn't forget to mention Internet access. Dish Network has partnered with Wildblue to provide their customers with high-speed Internet service no matter where they live. With the addition of Internet access to all their other offerings, Dish Network finishes in first place as far as I'm concerned, over and above their closest competitors.
I looked for a long time before settling on Dish Network and chose them based on value, variety and customer support. I've never, even for a moment, regretted my decision. So I hope that helps you make your own choice.
