The Opportunity &
Compensation Plan
YTB Independent Marketing Representative - A
person who has signed an Independent
Marketing Representative agreement with
yourTravelBiz.com is called a
Representative. (We will use the term “Rep”
from now on).
1. They can sell Online Travel Agencies,
enroll RTAs, and sponsor other Reps.
2. They earn commission on personal Online
Travel Agency sales.
3. They can earn overrides on Online Travel
Agency sales made by Reps on their teams.
4. They do not receive travel credentials
and cannot sell travel. Unless fully
contracted with YTB Travel Network.
YTB Travel Network Referring Travel
Agent
A Referring Travel Agent (RTA) is a person
who has purchased an Online Travel Agency in
an agreement with YTB Travel Network and
pays the $49.95 monthly fee for the
personalized website and its “Back Office.”
RTAs who personally enroll and
maintain six RTAs are reimbursed their
$49.95 monthly fee. (We will use
the term “RTA” from now on.) RTA’s simply
refer people to their website (Online Travel
Agency) to book travel and can earn
commissions on travel booked through their
personalized site or by direct referral.
Building a team of Reps is more easily
accomplished if you understand the
pre-determined structure provided by YTB.
There are 3 total
teams as defined below:
The “1st Team”
The “PowerTeam”
The “DreamTeam”
1st Team
Your 1st Team is made up of personally
sponsored Reps plus the Reps they sponsor
and so on. When you are qualified to
override by having 4 active personally
enrolled Online Travel Agencies (RTAs) (your
own Online Travel Agency can count as one),
you will earn a 50% match of the commissions
earned by all personally sponsored 1st Team
Reps. Your 1st Team is considered complete
when you:
1. Personally sponsor 3 or more Reps
2. Have 6 active RTAs enrolled (Online
Travel Agencies paying $49.95 monthly fee)
by you and/or your 1st Team Reps.
PowerTeam
Once your 1st Team is complete, you qualify
to start your PowerTeam with additional
personally sponsored Reps. Your PowerTeam
includes the 1st Team of every Rep in your
PowerTeam through infinity.
Example: Mary qualifies to start her
PowerTeam and personally sponsors Eric.
Eric’s personally sponsored 1st Team members
are Josh, Sarah, and Amy who personally
sponsor at least 3 Reps each (9 total). If
those 9 each personally sponsor 3 Reps,
there would be 27 additional reps in Mary’s
PowerTeam. All 40 of these Reps, and ALL
additional Reps sponsored into subsequent
1st Teams, are in Mary’s PowerTeam (this
continues through Infinity).
Remember, the 1st Team of every Rep in your
Power Team is not complete until there are 3
or more personally sponsored Reps and a
total of 6 active Online Travel Agencies (RTAs
paying the $49.95 monthly fee) sold by them
and their 1st Team Reps. Every sale that is
made by any of these 1st Team Reps is
considered a PowerTeam sale for you and
commissionable to you.
DreamTeam
When one of your PowerTeam Reps (regardless
of depth) starts a PowerTeam, that PowerTeam
becomes a 1st Generation DreamTeam to you.
When a 1st Generation DreamTeam Rep starts a
PowerTeam (regardless of depth), that
PowerTeam becomes a 2nd Generation DreamTeam
to you. This continues through six (6)
generations of PowerTeams and comprises your
DreamTeam.
Commissions Paid
Every new sale (Online Travel Agency) that
is entered into the system by 12 (Midnight)
Eastern Time Zone on Thursday will be paid
Friday of the following week. This includes
$50 Direct Sale Commissions, $50 PowerTeam
Commissions, all DreamTeam Commissions, the
50% Match of your personally sponsored Rep’s
Commissions and the $1000 LeaderShip
bonuses. Residual commission is paid on the
20th of the following month.
Direct Sale Commissions
Reps earn $50 for every personal Online
Travel Agency sale they make regardless of
whether or not they are qualified to
override. Once they have qualified to start
their PowerTeam, they also receive the $50
PowerTeam Commission (if qualified to
override) on all additional personal Online
Travel Agency sales.
Override Qualifications
You qualify to earn override compensation by
making 4 personal Online travel Agency sales
and your own purchase can be counted as one.
You will continue to be qualified as long as
you maintain at least 4 personally sold
YTBnet Subscribers. A YTBnet Subscriber is
an RTA who is paying the $49.95 monthly fee
for their Online Travel Agency. Once you are
qualified to override, you will earn a 50%
Match of the commissions earned by the
personally sponsored Reps in your 1st Team.
50% Match
This is calculated by multiplying the
commissions earned by your personally
sponsored Reps by 50%. If one of your
personally sponsored Reps earns $1,000,
another earns $2,000 and a third earns
$5,000 in commissions ($8,000 total), then
your 50% Match would be $4,000. The 50%
Match includes Direct Sale Commission,
PowerTeam Commission, DreamTeam Commission
and all Residual Commission. The Leadership
Bonus, Dream Bonus, and 50% Match are not
included. Home-based travel sellers are the
fastest growing segment of the travel agency
community. With the large and mid-sized
companies laying off people and cutting
back, corporate America is no longer a
stable place to be. Everyone is looking for
a home-based business that can be the high
performance vehicle that takes them into the
future along with big time savings in tax
advantages. YTB is going to be YOUR
home-based business vehicle!
