OVERALL RANKING: International World of Vacations (IWV) TOP RATED |

Summary of Independent Review and Comparison of Home-Based Travel Companies:
This review turned out to be much more involved than other reviews. Home-based travel
has many more income-producing opportunities for an individual than other businesses.
Usually, we knew what we were reviewing. Who can’t judge data backup software, or
how well a razor works. They do not require much research, just testing. The first
thing we did was go to multiple travel sources and travel industry publications
on the subject. We gathered the basics and history of it and discovered travel is
also the largest industry in the world creating a tremendous home-based business
opportunity.
We carefully researched the top travel companies for comparison. Then we researched
the best home-based travel companies to see if what they claimed they offered and
what they really offered was true. What we found was that most had stipulations
that you were not aware of upon joining. Unless you had the knowledge and asked
specific questions in regard to these hidden claims, you would never know they existed
until after you joined. The area where the most discrepancies were found was commissions-earned.
However, IWV is the clear leader and pays their Independent Representatives on commission
earned, which can be as high as 25% of the basic travel package. Some host
travel companies on the other hand may earn the same 25%, but only pay their representatives
on a commission cap. In other words, they claim to pay 100% commission, but only
pay on a cap of 10%.
Example:
VALUE OF TRAVEL PACKAGE IS $1,000 AND 25% COMMISSION IS $250
XYZ TRAVEL PAYS 100% BASED ON A CAP OF 10% ($100) & PAYS
$100.
IWV PAYS UP TO 80% OF COMMISSION EARNED ($250) & PAYS $200.
The bottom line is that 80% of 25% is more than 100% of 10%.
The result of our testing showed two clear leaders. One company in particular stood
out in this report – International World of Vacations. International World of Vacations
has a higher signup fee than most, but did not require their monthly license fee
to be paid a year in advance like many others. In addition, International World
of Vacations does not pay you to bring someone into their program, but pays solely
on travel sales made by an individual brought into the organization. This involves
more time to build immediate income, but includes residuals that are not a factor
in paying someone else for joining a home-based program which could offset their
one-time signup fee. This company is overall the one we would personally choose
because it was far superior to the second choice. We were very impressed with IWV’s
“Two-Step Compensation Program” that offers unlimited earning potential as outlined
in "The Only Way to Wealth” on their website. This explains the power of having
multiple income streams through a Dynamic Marketing System. We further researched
the details of a Dynamic Marketing System and determined it is NOT Network Marketing
or Multi-Level Marketing in our opinion. The main differentiating factor here is
that it only goes down one-level so you can see (in turn know) how you are getting
paid unlike some Network Marketing or MLM programs. The home-based representative’s
earnings can increase exponentially with this program because is not solely based
on their individual performance. A successful independent business still can be
run without involving other streams. Also, with the IWV program, we all personally
liked that IWV representatives receive bonuses in vacation credits, giving
you the ability to earn free vacations upon being a part their program.
This was a feature that added value to the complete package IWV offers.
Some home-based travel companies were of questionable value and some provided flat
out bad information. For the Help/Support rating, we e-mailed and called each of
the companies asking simple questions about the basics of the opportunity they were
presenting. The result was based in part on whether or not they responded within
48 hours and if they answered the question when they did respond. After extensive
due diligence, the above comparison chart lists the results of our findings.
Regards,
-TNT Holdings, LLC.
The IWV System puts you on the fast track to success.
But the only way you can earn is to join. Ready?
