Commissions, # of members, etc. are irrelevant if some of the core legal requirements aren’t in place.

The fact that you don’t know how they gain discounts is another clue. Generally, legitimate companies share this sort of information as it is a marketing tool and clear differentiating factor in the marketplace.

This may be an interesting exercise…

Find me one person who has made over $100,000 a year in MLM who is NOT in Tvi who believes it is a legitimate, sound business.

My guess is you’ll have a pretty hard time.

First of all, I am glad you found some discounts. That’s a good thing.

Here’s the deal. You stated that Tvi members do not make a commission when someone books travel. That’s not a good thing.

For a network marketing company to be legal, a number of things have to be true.

1. People can’t make money for enrolling new members. Money is ONLY made through product sales. Any company that pays for recruitment is considered in violation of FTC law.

This is what a ponzi scheme is…money circulating through the members without the exchange of any real value. ie. product. You can look up the rest for further explanation of a ponzi scheme.

2. There HAS to be a clear retail product for sale. Again, if their product is discount travel, great, but exactly what people are paying for is so unclear.

Can I buy this product without joining the business opportunity? This too, has to be true.

Comparing Tvi to Netflix is laughable. Netflix is a publically traded company [Nasdaq: NFLX], Stop spouting the party line garbage that your upline is saying or that you hear on conference calls and just think.

Who owns Tvi? Who are their management? What are their backgrounds? This took me 20 seconds to find on the Netflix site. I am yet to find a good answer on the Tvi express site.

If there are 10 things to look for to see if a company is legitimate, Tvi fails virtually all of them.

People joining isn’t one of the tests. People will join anything.

With all of this said, there is much to learn from Tvi when it comes to marketing. The numbers they are putting up are staggering.

As far as my background, you can read that on my profile, but I have been in and around MLM since 1992 and have been a trainer, coach and speaker since 1995.

I am happy to speak offline as well.

Those certs are everywhere…many are used as incentives…all are redeemable but are not meant for resale.

Marketing companies use those sort of certificates for sales incentives. They are common.

I sold travel years ago and we gave away cruises to the Bahamas as incentives for purchasing. They cost the company $20 each.

That’s what I am talking about.

Again…these are all small issues. The big issues are where the money is coming from, what are people paying for and is the company actually legit.

“Tvi members do not make anything from booking travel.”

Why not? If that is their product, they should make money.

What then, do they make money from?

This is the problem with Tvi…nobody knows.

Your example really doesn’t say anything specific Johnny…did your wife book the same exact airfare, car and hotel? Online sites often have different pricing than each other. $100 over three purchases – even if it were the same exact products/services…isn’t that significant.

But the bigger issue here is that you say her purchase didn’t trigger any commission to the rep.

That spells Ponzi scheme bigger than anything else. You have just supported my entire article.
