So you are thinking I should jump on this new MLM opportunity while it is in pre-launch. WRONG!

I agree, Travelencia appears on the surface to be a very strong opportunity.

Let's review:

* Debt free company
* Members of the Better Business Bureau
* Dream Vacation Financing up to $5,000
* Home Business in over 200 Countries Worldwide!
* Access to a Licensed Travel Consolidator
* Members of CLIA - IATA - ASTA
* $10 Million Invested in Technology
* Vacation Packages designed to Save Thousands!
* Access to 100,000 Condo Resorts Worldwide
* Personal travel assistance

So Peter, you seem like a reasonably smart guy, why are you telling me not to sign up?

The reason is simple.

I believe that you should pick your team first, not the opportunity. Remember, Travelencia is an opportunity that is based on network marketing.

Do you have a network?

And no, you cannot count your brother-in-law who spends his weekends in the basement doing whatever brother-in-laws do.

I am talking about a real network, a downline, your team that you work with on opportunities. If you do not and you have no idea on how to recruit a team then why waste your time and hard earned money on multi-level-marketing opportunities.

Ok, Peter, I might buy your argument, but what are you suggesting I do?

What I am going to suggest to you is to investigate and interview your sponsor first.

Do not sign up under just anyone. The only time you have a choice is before you click the payment button. After that you are stuck with whatever dead beat sponsor you happened to cross paths with on your way to fame and fortune. You must have read the stories of the vanishing sponsor. The kind of sponsor who talks the big story, then takes your money and disappears. Their only interest is in the quick bonus money they make recruiting you. Their strategy is to build wide. Your strategy is to build deep.

The best way to build a network marketing business is to select your sponsor and your up-line team first.

Travelencia is just another opportunity. There are tons of great opportunities and there are tons of good and bad sponsors.

First, call your sponsor. They will tell you the standard stuff you always hear in these type of calls. However this is your opportunity to interview them. The sponsor wants you badly, so you are in demand. Usually in a job interview it is the other way around, so take advantage of it.

Does the sponsor have a support site or do they just use the opportunity site? If they have their own support site this is a good sign.

Ask your potential sponsor how they market the opportunity, how long they have been in network marketing, and do they just recruit or do they provide training.

Did your sponsor ask you about your goals and your experiences? Did they show any interest at all in your situation?

This is your opportunity to ask questions and feel out the sponsor to see if you can work with them. Usually you can tell if they are only interested in recruiting you and you should go with your gut feeling.

Travelencia is a great opportunity, do not get me wrong, but the team you join is more important than the opportunity.
