Hi,
I am responding to this because I have had direct experience with Reverse Funnel System (RFS), and am also an extremely satisfied customer of Global Resorts Network (GRN). So, there are mixed feelings here.
I think that Ty's original concept behind RFS was unique, and I liked the idea of finding out who was a serious home business entrepreneur.
That said, as I dove within myself, and sorted out the type of marketing that I wanted my name attached to, and diligently working the RFS for my first couple of months, I decided that the RFS wasn't for me - for three primary reasons:
Reason # 1) Global Resorts Network does NOT require any affiliate to purchase a travel membership - they make that excruciatingly clear.
So, for people looking at RFS, I can see how the text within RFS might lead one to believe that a Platinum membership is required. This, to me, just doesn't resonate as wise business practice. When I introduce someone to the Global Resorts Network opportunity - which I absolutely love - I make it very clear (in accordance with GRN policy) that a personal purchase of a membership is not at all required.
Obviously, if someone is attracted to this business because he or she loves travel, a membership would make perfect sense. It certainly did for me and my husband! And because of this, and what we have found to be exceptional customer service on the part of our travel partner, we are totally sold on this - what we believe to be a vacationer's dream come true!
Reason # 2) Again, this is just my view - For my tastes, the RFS is too "hypey." I don't need lots of pictures or testimonials of individuals draped over fancy cars or big homes to sell me. If I like a product, I'm sold.
I understand that this type of marketing appeals to certain emotional needs of opportunity seekers, but when the dust of the excitement settles, reason needs to take over, and business decisions should be made from reason, not emotion.
Of course, RFS is far from the first (or last) company that will use these marketing techniques. Why? Because, for a lot of people, they hit the right nerve and it works. It's just not what makes me tick.
I want to build an organization of serious sales affiliates who see the big picture, and have a plan of action and longevity so that after a few weeks or months they don't get discouraged and quit because something "didn't work." Again - If the RFS clicks for someone in my organization, that's fine - I won't discourage anyone from working a system that they feel good about. It just doesn't "do it" for me.
Reason #3 ): I can't wrap my head around charging someone $50 just to gain information about a business opportunity. I fully understand the reasoning why RFS does this - but it doesn't sit well with me. Again, just my view.
I know that I've said this before, but I feel very strongly about this: Ty's RFS is just one method by which people are introduced to Global Resorts Network. It is geared toward business opportunity seekers. But it's only one method.
There are so many other methods and strategies available for someone to market not only the opportunity but the product itself - the travel membership! Never forget that this membership is a stand-alone product that can sell without ever mentioning an income opportunity. It is an excellent membership (and one commenter was correct in stating that this is NOT timeshare at all)!
I've been using a system that just recently gave us a terrific page geared specifically toward the vacationer. Because I love travel, I know that this is going to appeal to an entirely new market.
So, in closing - if the RFS or any other system "turned you off," please don't let that experience sour you on Global Resorts Network itself.
I hope that this helped add some balance to the subject. Thank you for allowing me to comment.
Sincerely,
Kathy Tremblay
