There are lots of companies out there offering travel vouchers for companies to use as incentives to get their employees to meet quotas, have better attendance, to boost performance and so on. In this post I’d like to give a word of a caution on using MLMs (multi-level marketing companies) such as YTB, WorldVentures, Tripazon and the like for your travel voucher incentive programs.
First, there is no guarantee the rep you are working with will have the slightest clue about travel! When people sign up for travel MLMs they generally have been given a promise of easy riches and traveling around the world for deep discounts or even for free. More often than not they don’t know the first things about the travel industry or the things you will need to know. Elite Travel has been in the business nearly two decades and our agents are highly trained in everything they sell.
Second, no experience also means no reputation. How can you rely on this agent of this company? Sure, the company may have been in business more than a minute, but the people working for them could have literally started the week that they pitched you their incentive program. There is no guarantee they are reputable. Elite Travel has served hundreds of thousands of customers and successfully managed millions of dollars worth of bookings in the travel industry. Our testimonials and client loyalty speaks for themselves!
Third, the company could go out of business quickly and/or your rep could decide to stop working. Most MLMs require you pay out of pocket up front for travel vouchers and this is a risky move on your behalf. More and more MLMs have been getting shut down by programs such as the FTC for fraudulent and unethical business practices. When the company goes out of business or an agent quits working for the MLM vouchers sold could be deemed worthless.
Finally, MLMs are in the business of converting customers into travel sales people. The first thing you can expect is that your employees will be given a high pressure sales tactic promising them riches the sell travel to friends and family.
