A Tip For Success In Ytb Travel MLM
This evening I spoke with a great lady with such a delightful outgoing personality we’ll call her ‘Sheryl.’ Sheryl contacted me looking for help in her YTB Travel MLM business and said she didn’t know how to recruit. With such a great phone presence she certainly wasn’t shy. I asked her why she got into YTB Travel in the first place.
She said she was originally involved with another MLM company and as much as she enjoyed their products she really loves traveling and that’s all she’s ever really wanted to do. When she recently found the YTB Travel MLM business it was a nobrainer.
So I tested her faith a little further… I said “Sheryl let’s say I told you to drop your life right now and simply give everything to me. I want you to get on a plane and you can go travel the world anywhere and everywhere you want on my dime for the rest of your life. You will have no money no property no belongings and no home but I will cover your travel costs food etc. How would you feel about that?”
I felt her heart skip a beat at the mere thought.
“It would be Heaven” she said. “Then you’ve picked the right business for you because you have a true passion for what you’re doing” I told her. That’s the first step and the most important in my book. Too many people get into their MLM business for the wrong reasons. Often times they’re sweettalked into joining someone’s MLM only to ‘help out a friend’ or family member in the blind hopes it will lead to huge income… which is always the wrong reason to join a business.
If you’re like Sheryl you may find this hard to believe but not everyone views traveling with the same passion even though almost everyone enjoys traveling at one time or another for business or vacation. However there are still 10′s of thousands of people who share those same passionate dreams of a life of traveling bliss like Sheryl but you must seek them out.
As much of a nobrainer as this may appear the important concept to be successful in your YTB Travel MLM business is to not have the mindset of simply trying to blindly recruit every warm body who comes within shouting distance who may have once thought of taking a cruise through the Florida Keys.
Wanting a discount on airfare is one thing. Wanting to build a business is clearly another.
These are NOT your YTB Travel business builders.
Maybe they’ll be your customers… some day… maybe! Probably not.
To find out their passions you’ve got to qualify your prospect first ask questions about how they feel about traveling. They’ll tell you. If they’re not crazy about it like you next! …and shut up. Don’t try to convince someone they should get into the travel world if they aren’t interested. Why? You’re wasting you’re time talking to the wrong people.
I’ve met SO many people like Sheryl it’s incredible. Too many new YTB Travel RTA’s are so busy trying to convince sweettalk their friends and family to join their YTB Travel downline because it’s what they’ve been taught they’re missing out on all the other people who would genuinely LOVE to join but never heard of YTB Travel.
Did you catch the part about how Sheryl has always loved traveling but only RECENTLY found YTB Travel? There’s THOUSANDS of people like Sheryl out there! She didn’t join in the hopes of making great money although she really wants to make money too.
If you’re like Sheryl or even close first you need to think about YOUR lifestyle now and understand that other people who think like you are in a similar situation as you because they want the same things you want. So you need to learn to attract likeminded people instead of wasting your time trying to force and convince people who really are not interested.
Think about YOU for a minute: What’s your lifestyle like? What kind of job do you have? Where do you hang out? What kind of food do you like? Where do you like to shop? Why do you shop there? What kind of TV shows do you watch? Start looking in these area for likeminded people.
Sure you might have one friend that shares your travel passions and if so they’ll be the RARE exception.
Stop looking for “just anybody” to talk to and start looking for people who already express their own genuine interest in travel …not because you convinced them of it. These will be your best business builders and will never give up just because the money isn’t coming in one day. See my previous article: MLM Leads…Reality Check
Start looking for about 10000 “Sheryl’s.”
There out there I promise!

Top 10 Tips For Buying Promotional Bags
The Ever Increasing Choice in Promotional Bags
Promotional Bags are becoming increasingly popular for the promotional products buyer in the UK and Europe. With a bag to fit every budget and with a fantastic range of fabrics available there is no excuse to not have your own company’s promotional bag.
The cheapest option is currently the promotional carrier bag traditionally made from polythene. The market is changing at this level with sales of the low cost aperture handled polythene bag being superseded by the contemporary ecofriendly paper bag range that has various styles including Drawtape Bags Twisted Paper Handled Carrier Bags and up to the more executive low cost bag: the gloss laminated rope handled paper carrier bag.
Many companies are currently using Jute Bags and PP Weave bags which are hard wearing and can be printed up to a four colour process design. These bags are ideal for high production runs for exhibitions and conferences because they are still great value for money. Business users and consumers are equally aware of basic environmental concerns which results in this ecofriendly type of bag enjoying a much longer usage life than the traditional polythene bag.
Modern Printing Techniques available
The ability to print eyecatching four colour process designs onto the PP Weave bags adds to the retention rate by the recipient. The bags will be used outside of the business environment at the weekends for social leisure and shopping activities too.
For the more active user the promotional rucksack is the current choice. Generally made form 70D or 210D Nylon or Polyester these promotional bags are great for schools and gymnasiums alike. Reflective trim and safety strips help with road safety issues and are available in a great range of colours to suit any corporate look or school colour scheme.
Transfer printing techniques have improved greatly over the last decade which means that printing four colour process designs onto these formerly difficult materials is now no challenge to the modern print shop.nbsp;
As already mentioned the environmental message and sentiment is very important to high profile companies who are committed to sending an ecofriendly message to the world. In the middle priced bracket of promotional bags is the Green Concept Organic range of rucksacks Shopper Bags Shoulder Bags and Holdall Bags. This range of promotional bags is produced from 100 Organically produced cotton.
Promotional Laptop Bags
For the busy professional there is a great promotional bag selection available too. Promotional Laptop Bags are a must for many IT based companies with the trends in the promotional market mirroring that in the high street. When manufactured at source personalisation can be added to every piece of trim including personalised lining zip pulls woven or printed straps as well as superb logo reproduction via embroidery direct screen printing dyesublimation printing and embossing.

Report Of Chinese Iron Steel Industry Under International Financial Crisis 2009
In 2008 the ironstones bought by Chinese iron amp; steel enterprises in the previous time were at a high expense however the market demands were depressed leading to the decline in Chinese steel price no profits for steel enterprises and consecutive losses of the steel industry. According to statistics the yields of Chinese crude steel in 2008 were 500.9 million tons increased by 2.4 of last year and a sharp reduction in growth speed. The yields of Chinese steel products were 584.88 million tons up 3.4 of last year.
Affected by several factors the total demands for steel products cut down in the world. From 2008 reduction in domestic demands and surplus of the yield capacity the exports of Chinese steel products were impeded.
In 2008 Chinese enterprises dropped in production and price of steel products sharply. The whole industry got losses. By the end of 2008 more than half of the enterprises showed a deficit.
In order to cope with international financial crisis from January to February of 2009 Chinese government issued ten adjustment and revitalization plans of major industries including automobile industry iron amp; steel industry shipbuilding industry textile industry equipment manufacture electronics and information industry light and chemical industry and nonferrous metal industry etc. The ten adjustment and revitalization plans of major industries not only promoted the development of each industry but also promoted the development whole national economies.
In January 2009 Chinese government issued adjustment and revitalization plan of iron amp; steel industry including the replacement of lagging yield capacity structural adjustment of steel types the expansion of domestic demands and the duty adjustment so as to increase the exports of ironamp; steel products and the encouragement of mergers and acquisitions among enterprises etc which clearly showed the determination Chinese government to support ironamp; steel industry.
By the end of 2008 Chinese government issued fourtrillionYuan investment plans in largescaled infrastructure constructions. With the influence of the plan it is predicted that the annual demands for iron amp; steel products are above 30 million tons. The demands for iron amp; steel products are increased as well as the profitability. There was still opportunity in the field of mergers and acquisition in Chinese ironamp; steel industry. On the one hand the asset value of Chinese ironamp; steel industry was in the historical lowest level which provided good external condition for the asset mergers and acquisition. On the other hand Chinese government put more money on the mergers and acquisitions among ironamp; steel enterprises including capital supports. Although Chinese ironamp; steel industry cannot keep the previous growth speed in 2009 to 2010 it is predicted that the development speed will be slow in a whole but not slowdown.
