Great homework. This company smells fishy to me. For companies like this, I have this to say: If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and talks like a duck ......it's actually just a slippery little snake.

Thanks for the info. The thing seemed "too go to be true" and the "salesman" quite pushy and persistant, which made me wonder; what's the big rush? and right away before telling me anything asked me if I had money!!

GRN is a great opportunity! Some do it with hype others do it with good old fashioned common sense. Check out www.GlobalResortAlliance.com and see what I mean.

GRN works on both levels, its both a great vacation package and a great home based business. I personally maintain 2 websites, one that promotes the vacation package itself and one that promotes the business opportunity. The unfortunate side effect of any network marketing business is that it sometimes winds up bringing people into the business that have no clue what they are doing. A pushy salesman most likely means a desperate salesman because his business isnt going the way he was hoping. I treat opportunity seekers as business partners, the last thing I want is a business partner who I "pushed" into the business. If a person chooses to join it should be based solely on their own conscience decision. In the meantime I do sell the vacation packages as stand alone as well in local venues. Now I am sure industry insiders may be able to get similar deals on vacations, however the majority of us do not know how to get those deals. The last vacation my family took we spent $500 a night for our resort stay. If I had been a GRN member then I would not have paid more than $699 for the week. One final note on the reverse funnel system, that is simply a marketing tool. Some choose to use it, some choose not. I personally do not use the RFS and do not need to, but others do. As with anything you must do your homework before buying into anything.

I love travel businesses cause they are always indemand.
I passed on GRN two years ago, and finally just joined in May, and immediately made money. The secret is not in the marketing, but in the branding and the systems behind the branding. There are many GRN systems. Call center, funnels, and retail sales sites. All of them are great and all of them work. But what you need to decide before you join is... do you want to join from a newbie or an expert who has made money? It's harsh for the newbies to see that, but the reality is... people want to immediately align with successful sponsors who have tools and resources and honestly help. So, do your homework before you join. If you might know anyone looking for a great travel product and a mentor, to help them earn money from home, let them contact me. Jeff |

While I appreciate your insights, you've only focused on RFS (one of many systems that promote Global Resorts), 1 issue from the BBB that is still open, and speculating that GRN is a timeshare company. (For the record, it offers timeshare units to rent, but without the hefty $10,000 and up price tag, and no limit to where or how many weeks you can travel with your platinum membership.) I have been involved in several online marketing opportunities, and Global Resorts Network is the real deal. There is a stand alone product to purchase, which has brought value to thousands who use it over and over again to go on vacation. The paychecks are real, and, like most other sales opportunities, is called "a commission". Nothing wrong with that, is there? Have you ever bought a car? Some salesmen are creepy and pushy, others are very nice and helpful. Who do you buy your car from? You buy from those you form a relationship with. Those you connect with. When researching a business opportunity, of course you should do your homework, but remember, even a top notch company will not help someone who does not put in the work. The bottom line is, if you want to succeed, you will, whether you are selling cars, paper clips, or (gasp!) vacation memberships. Find someone who will mentor you one on one, and get ready to roll up your sleeves, get to work, and earn some money!

Hi Guys
Ok htere is a lot of information online about GRN and today I came across M.O.R.E (new travel company) and they compare GRN and MORE. Ok. I wanted to give facts. M.O.R.E sites still say that GRN does not offer financing. They do. They started it back in august 2008. secondly they used to take out 250 per sale out of 1000 commission for merchant account fees. they changed it awhile back to 150 for merchant account fees. I still think GRN has a decent travel package. I recommend people to go to www.vrbo.com site and see the resort prices. Today I compared one resort hot week special in Alabama Golf Shores plantations resort and it is 298 for the week nov 14-nov 22 and it was around 598 with www.vrbo.com website. Still better deal with GRN. In the summer that resort will be online for about 1100 a aweek or min 900 a week. With GRN during summer season I saw it for 599 a week. Las vegas condos are also half price and they do have 298 week in november. My husband and I wanted to go to stay at the hotel in Vegas in November and 4 nights would cost me 520 for one room at a travel agent rate and I can stay at condo with kitchen for 298 a week. I just want to show differences. My whole point is GRN offers a decent package and if an average family uses the package they can save money. It is not a free lunch anymore. It is a business and it pays well. As with any busines you have to have a good solid marketing system that includes three main components: a converting sales page, good mentoring (team or sponsor), resources. But the most important is that person should believe in themselves and a business system. There are dozens of travel companies online. They all have good and bad about them. Nothing is perfect. I agree some people are pushy and will lie to you that you might stay in five diamond resort with GRN. You may or you may not. But I like to give facts and use systems that work for me and teach people how to duplicate results. Not everyone is going to use the GRN package because their main intention is MONEY. But I saw I can use my package for my family and save few hundred dollars a year. If even I use it twice a year for the next 5 years. I can save 3-4K dollars and also make money. I look at overall benefits. I have been with GRN over a year and GRN has always paid on time and if there were issues they always tried to solve them. Every company will have their own issues and nobody is protected. When people talk about that they make people to get their merchant account it is not true. It is advised if you donot want to have 150 dollars taken out of your commission for merchant account fees. People pay with money orders, echecks, wires. The company pays with fed ex and charges 19 dollars I believe for 2 day shipping. There is nothing wrong with that and the fact they say transfer to bank account is better than a check. Again it is an opinion and it is very small issue. Nothing biggie. I have done great with GRN and I love my system I use. Thank you for letting me share. I just wanted to compare and not put MORE down. It is just when I saw that information on the websites they have after my friend told me about it and I saw t his post I wanted to let people know. I am sure MORE company was not aware of changes and I hope t hey can change it with purpose of comparisions of two companies. Hope you have a great day! Tatyana Gann |

Great review of the system. I think scam is a highly misused word though. A lot of people will join a business or system and never make any money due to no effort put forth or bad mentoring and just because they don't make any money they call it a scam. There are never any guarantees in business and you wouldn't call a brick and mortar business franchise a scam just because you didn't have the proper knowledge to turn it into a profitable enterprise.
