Travelencia: Interview with David Pollock of Hemisphere Travel

David Pollock and I cover a lot of ground with this interview.

During the discussion I discover that Hemisphere Travel is actually quite large; over 3,000 travel websites and multiple brick and mortar travel agency locations. David explains in detail his company’s history, affiliations, seller of travel requirements and the fact that they have an in-house lawyer who specializes in the travel industry.

We cover many topics; travel clubs, travel insurance, travel financing, discount travel, lowest price travel, travelencia benefits, internet travel portals verses B&M travel agencies, travel cards and more.

We also take a minute to discuss David’s experience working with the owner of Travelencia, Rene Larralde over the last six to eight years.

Does Travelencia require Seller of Travel number (SOT)

There has been some discussion about whether or not Travelencia requires a Seller of Travel number (SOT).

Initially I checked the Florida Attorney General’s website who referred me to the Florida Department of Consumer Services.

My intention was to establish what the rules are for a Seller of Travel. I read both Florida’s and California’s legislation and it was clear to me the seller was the one who accepted payment and arranged the bookings. The purpose of the laws is to protect the consumer and their funds. However, since I am not a lawyer, it is easy to misinterpret or miss something.

During the call I was surprised when she looked up Hemisphere Travel and reported to me that they were listed as exempt. This does not mean that Hemisphere is exempt in other states but it does tell you that Hemisphere at least qualified for a exemption in Florida.

The general concept of a Seller of Travel is someone who takes consideration, your money, with the promise of delivering some form of travel. The rules also cover those who sell travel certificates or coupons and travel clubs.

Travelencia : News Bulletin - Read This Report Before You Commit

Travelencia is Hot!

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
• Travel Provider: Member 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
• Travel Provider: Member of CLIA - IATA - ASTA
• $10 Million Invested in Technology & Development
• 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 trying to sell me?

Absolutely nothing.

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. My strategy is to build deep.

How do I build deep? With Infinite Potential.

Travelencia is an opportunity. Infinite Potential is your team. I created Infinite Potential to help you succeed in network marketing. We will train you and support you even if you do not have a clue where to start, especially if you do not have a clue. You can start quickly by using our sales pages and gradually advance until you can create your own. The best part, if you do a marketing effort we will support it. For example, need an article dugg, we will digg it. When was the last time you had 400 people digg an article for you. Take action now and select your team first. Select Infinite Potential.

Black Belt Recruiting

Black Belt Recruiting has dramatically changed my life!

Ok, I am exaggerating, however it has definitely changed how I recruit people.

I have a well paying job, but it is has become just a way to pay the bills. It is like having a chain around my neck.

In early January of this year I went on a two week vacation to Thailand.

This was my first two week vacation since I started my career thirty years ago.

That trip opened my eyes.

When I came back to my job I searched the internet and found Mike Dillard and Black Belt Recruiting.

Since receiving those CD’s in the mail I have played them in my car at least six times.

The interaction between Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser is compelling to listen to.

It is obvious that Mike has learned a lot from Mark and has applied the same principles in building his business.

They give a ton of practical and easy to apply advice on how to recruit using the phone.

My favorite piece of advice is “Don’t be needy”.

How many times have you called a lead and tried your best to convince them to join your opportunity without success?

Instead, think of the phone call as you interviewing a new employee.

Would you just hire anyone?

Of course not.

You would ask questions.

You would find out what their goals are.

Do those goals fit what you are doing?

If not, then you need to take a big breath and be prepared to thank them for their time and move on.

I have applied this technique as well as the others contained on the CD’s to build an initial team of twenty like minded internet marketers.

My goal is to earn over a million dollars a year and I realized that I have a better chance of achieving this goal with the help of others.

The fact is that I do not know everything.

I have spent the last month talking with people from all over the world looking for those who had similar goals.

I also looked for people who had different skills and experiences, but the key determining factor was goal congruence.

And believe it or not, I recruited a few of them without ever discussing the opportunity.

This program is not for those who are looking for a quick rich scheme or recruiting thousands of people on auto-pilot.

But really, how many of us have really done this?

This program is for those who realize that to build a true, solid business they need to talk with their recruits.

Thank you Mike and Mark for helping me achieve my first step in my online plan.

ps. Black Belt Recruiting is being released for the public on July 22, 2008. I will publish the link when it is available.
