Get Four, Pay No
More! Dear WorldVentures Team, Since the launch of the company, we have continued to develop and expand our offering. The goal has been to offer not only the most value-rich product in the marketplace, but also the most aggressive compensation plan in the industry. Our DreamTrips Membership and LTC package are one-of-a-kind and the value that they offer has continued to increase at an exponential rate since our inception. Our compensation plan has also been incredibly rich since day one, but was recently given an additional boost with the introduction of the 2-for-1 Promotion, Double Cycles, and the full point in the tree for every $199 sale. This has been an incredibly popular promotion and resulted in a great deal of new business and some of the richest payouts in company history. This promotion was scheduled to end on June 12th, 2009 and we have received countless requests for an extension. But before we talk about that, let's talk about our two products. From the beginning, WorldVentures has sought to offer products that had true value to the end consumer and we have worked diligently to increase that value on an ongoing basis. And even though we have done so, in three years we have never raised the price of the monthly fees associated with them. First, let's look at the DreamTrips Membership. Our first year we offered 15 DreamTrips to choose from and this year we are offering over 200. That means your Membership now grants you access to, on average, more DreamTrips in a single month than were available in the first year we were in business! We've also added the Hotel Getaways and Resort Getaways which offer phenomenal savings to numerous destinations and are accessible on your schedule, any time. Additionally, the diversity of our DreamTrips offering has dramatically expanded. We now offer DreamTrips that are sports-centered and include tickets to a game, we recently launched our first humanitarian/service DreamTrip, we've got eco-tourism DreamTrips that are green, in the works, as well as an ever broadening array of cruises, all inclusive resorts, international destinations, and Mini DreamTrips right in your backyard.
Not only
that, but the DreamTrips we offer are increasingly more unique and
include additional services, excursions, tours, on-site concierge
support and other features that you couldn't find anywhere else.
It's truly a one-of-a-kind product and there's no question that the
value far exceeds the $19.95 monthly fee. Now with automated, end-to-end booking, real-time tracking of those bookings, and the ability to track commissions, we're seeing travel sales increase at an exciting rate since the website rolled out in December of 2008. With our Preferred Customer program and the recent addition of the third Global Distribution System (GDS) to the website, the value to your travel customers has gone through the roof in the last year. And the Topaz International study proves it: Rovia had better prices than Travelocity or Orbitz 68% of the time, and that was with only one GDS! In addition to the technology, the level of training, with Rob Baker's LTC Seminars to Success, has also made a quantum leap forward. And a description of the LTC Package wouldn't be complete without the amazing Concierge Service, Roadside Assistance, and Tax Advice Hotline, which many people say are worth the price of the product alone. So, with all the enhancements of the last few years, the LTC package is a product whose value also far exceeds the $19.99 fee. Now, with all the additional value our products provide and all the increased overhead costs and additional infrastructure that go into supporting them, from our staff that has swelled from 15 our first year to over 160 today, or our home offices that have grown from 1,200 square feet to almost 40,000 square feet, you could easily justify an increase in price to $40 or even $50 per product. Well, the good news is that we are only increasing the prices from $19.95 and $19.99 per month to $24.99 each! And the great thing is that this is only for NEW Customers, effective Saturday, June 13th! So your pricing remains at the current rate!
But wait, there's more... We think you'll agree that one of the most cumbersome parts of explaining our Compensation Plan to new prospects is Qualification, and the three initial titles of IQR, FQR, and FQR+. Well, good news, we're streamlining that! Effective immediately, there is no more IQR and no more FQR! There's simply Qualified (Q). Now, all a new Representative has to do is make four product sales (either a customer only with DreamTrips, LTC, or Both -or- a Rep who also purchases the DreamTrips, LTC, or Both) and they will be Qualified! Not only that, but anyone who makes four sales on or after June 6th, 2009 will now have their monthly fees waived! So it's "Get Four, Pay No More!" Now, anyone who was already in the system prior to June 6th, 2009 is still subject to the old requirements of FQR+ in order to have their monthly fees waived, but they can ALSO qualify under the new program if their four sales come in on or after June 6th. So, if you were FQR+, your monthly fees are still waived, and if you were one or two sales away, you can still make them and qualify for FQR+. But if you hadn't qualified to waive your monthly fees, if you make four sales on or after June 6th, you'll become Qualified, and "Pay No More!" Now, for those of you doing the quick math, you may have noticed that the prices are changing next Saturday, but the new rank changes are already in effect. So that means, as Dave Watson put it in Minneapolis, "Can you say 'Fire Sale?'" This week, anyone who enrolls will not only lock in their $19.95 or $19.99 monthly fees, but will ALSO be able to Qualify under the new program! It's the best of both worlds. There's no reason that this shouldn't be our biggest sales week in company history!
Here's where it gets REALLY exciting though! As most top people in the industry, including our Chief Marketing Officer Dan Stammen, will tell you, what can really explode a company's growth is when retail customers have an incentive to refer other retail customers and don't have to be involved in the business. This is most commonly seen in companies that use a party plan (like jewelry or cookware) where customers can host parties for their representative, invite friends over, and receive free product in exchange for hosting. Well, we're taking that concept and launching a brand new customer acquisition incentive program! Now, any time one of your retail customers (someone who has purchased either the DreamTrips or LTC package, or both) refers four retail customers, their monthly fees will be waived as well! That means your retail customers can also "Get Four, Pay No More!" And the best part is, when they make those referrals, you, their Enroller, will get the $50 Direct Commission! This means you can grow your team in ways never before possible and can even make it to Director without having ever sponsored a single Rep! We believe this is going to kick your business into high gear. Imagine having a travel party, inviting over a bunch of friends, sharing the DreamTrips or LTC products with them, and at the end of the night the host or hostess has gotten their monthly fees waived, and you've pocketed all the commissions! It's the start of a whole new phase in WorldVentures history.
Retail Customers will soon have access to a mini-back office to track
their referrals, and you will see new tracking and reporting in your own
back office in the very near future.
You've
asked, and we've listened. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the
2-for-1 Promotion and the Double Cycles, we have decided to extend the
promotion another 90 days. The promotion will now continue until
midnight (11:59:59pm), September 11th, 2009, so go make it happen! DriveTime University is arguably the most well-received training tool we've ever launched. Since its introduction at A View From the Edge last fall, the feedback has been phenomenal. The quality of the training contained on those ten discs and the fact that it allows Reps to take their training with them on the go has been a big factor in our continued growth in 2009. Although easily worth several hundreds of dollars in value, the price for DriveTime University was set at only $149. And lately, it's been discounted for a very limited time to only $49.99. Well, as of this past week, that promotion has ended and DriveTime University can now be purchased for $99.99.
However, WorldVentures believes in the power of tools and creating a
rich tools-based culture. And we know from experience, that when a company becomes tools-based, the rate of
duplication increases exponentially, and the barriers to success are
lowered. So, to that end, and make sure that new
Representatives are getting started right, we've introduced a series
of three new Product Packs (Silver, Gold, & Platinum)! These packs
not only include DriveTime University, but also new two-part Product Order Forms and Rep Agreements,
Paradise & Prosperity
journals, new Rep Kits, and DVDs. And all of them are at a
substantial discount. Start taking advantage of these product packs
today and equip your new team members for success! Speaking of DriveTime University, wouldn't it be great if you could expand your initial 10 CD set with additional, fresh content every month? Well look no further than the brand new DriveTime University: Overdrive series. Now, you can enroll to receive three new audio CDs, delivered right to your door, every month, for only $7.99! For less than the price of a regular CD, you'll get hours of the latest and greatest training, pulled right from our Acceleration Workshops, Super Saturdays, and Fast Start Schools, travel training, hot new testimonies about our products and our opportunity, as well as business presentations from top leaders, and much more. It's an incredible deal and something that the President's Advisory Council, and specifically Troy Brown and Byron Schrag, as well as Marc Accetta, have been instrumental in developing. Our top leaders know the power of giving your team constant access to fresh material and continued education. And exciting news is that if you're a subscriber to the Premium Service Program (PSP) (which already includes the Voyager newsletter, enhanced back office reporting, WorldVenturesVT advanced content, WorldVentures Video Email, and a subscription to SUCCESS magazine), you'll now receive DriveTime University: Overdrive for no additional fee! You'll get all of that for the same great price of $19.97 per month. But here's the best part—if you're on the PSP, and you have four personally enrolled Representatives who are also on the PSP, you'll now receive your PSP for FREE! That's right, we're extending the "Get Four, Pay No More" concept to the PSP. So what are you waiting for? Get your PSP today!
This weekend in Minneapolis was incredible, and we think that these new announcements are going to pour major gas on the fire as we continue to push into the summer months. We can't wait to see all of you at Journey and then in just a few short weeks at South Texas' first Acceleration in San Antonio! Have a great week!
