There may be some question in your mind about what Traverus Travel Network really is all about. The founder and president of this company is David Manning. He is a motivational speaker, and, in the past, was said to promote sports. One of the most rapidly growing travel companies, it has been around for twenty-six years. David Manning got it five years ago.
The marketing plan was developed by Manning in 2006. He is claimed to be an expert in the field of compensations. His plan has been claimed to be an excellent program for his company. His company is rapidly growing and has attracted such leaders in the field.
They have their own radio show, and have featured the celebrities Paula Abdul, Eva Longoria, Geena Davis, Kathy Griffin, Jeff Foxworthy, and Lou Waters. There are others that have been featured as well. They also feature success stories, reported by the company, on the show as well.
You may think there are no dissenters, but you would be wrong. There are always dissenters, it seems. Any situation has more than one way of being looked at. The same is true of this situation. Some have questioned some of the practices of this company. Reports are both positive and negative in nature.
There has been concerned expressed about the lack of public financial records. Not being a public holding, financial records are not required to be made public, and they have chosen to not make them public. Their claim to be bonded and accredited by industry agencies has also been questioned by dissenters. These people claim the accreditation may actually belong to another company.
The cost of getting into the multilevel marketing setup of this company is also called into question. It is claimed they advertise one price, which is the lowest, which gets a person into the lowest level of the company. Then, to get into a higher level, earning more commission and benefits, a person has to pay out quite a bit more. Though many companies do this, some consider it unethical because the promotion is not based on talent but money invested.
Another concern that was spoken of was that of gathering "qualifying" information before allowing a person to become a part of the company and open their own agency. Though this is a common practice, and probably is designed to be sure a person is legitimate and highly qualified, it is being questioned by some. The information is not unlike that accepted as reasonable, include the basics of name, as well as the email, phone number, and the person's address.
Some call this is nothing more than a multilevel marketing scheme, claiming they offer compensation for increasing the company's numbers and selling travel packages. Traverus Travel Network has never claimed to do more than that. They claim to be a travel agency operating online instead of in a brick and mortar building. People who are part of the company claim it earns them a reasonable part-time income as well as giving them discounts for their own trips. Even being a busy executive, they claim they still have time to operate the business from home in their spare time.
