Hotels And Travel Tips Blog

For anyone trying to build a team in an MLM company, I am sure you flinch when someone in your downline calls to about the latest hot deal.

Top reps in this industry don't usually get distracted, once they are committed to a deal, you usually can't get their attention unless a real game changer enters the marketplace.

The issue here is could TVI Express be one of those “Game Changers”?

Recently I got a call from Greg, a new rep for TVI who had been with them for about 2 1/2 months and he wanted my help in generating leads. We reviewed the deal at some length and then I asked him how it was going for him so far.

That's when he dropped the bomb!

He told me that in just the last 2 months he had made a huge amount of money. Now after spending many years in MLM you kind of get a little matter of fact when you hear about the big dollars, but to do it in such a short period of time was incredible.

I decided to do an in depth review of the company to see what all the excitement was all about.

TVI Express is fundamentally a travel club that launched their enterprise in January of 2009 in Asia.

Travel deals are not new in MLM, many have gone this road before and some have done enormously well using travel as a product, people love it.

My review found some remarkable things about the TVI business.

Product
The TVI product is pretty easy to appreciate, its a travel voucher good for a free resort hotel stay for a week for 2 people. The base price on this from the company is $250 US and this is in fact what you get when you sign up to be a distributor for you $250 membership. (it may in point of fact cost you $275 or $300 but more on that in the full review)

Once you are a rep you also have access to travel discounts via their channel partners on everything from Rental Cars to Ship Cruises though your online office.

No Autoship
One of the appealing things to many people is that once you have paid your distributor fee there are no required monthly purchases to stay active. Getting rid of the autoship and monthly fee obligation may pose a challenge for future growth but distributors love it.

Company
Since starting in Asia they have grown to over 150 countries. Their original home office was in the UK and according to their website they are backed by a major UK financial group.

Ground Floor
They are pretty much in the first year of business which qualifies them as ground floor but they are moving very swiftly. It seems they grew to almost 200,000+ distributors in Asia before they even hit the US and they are now growing like no tomorrow here.

Compensation
This is what is generating all the excitement. Most MLM residual plans give you a tiny piece of everything but it can take time to build. TVI uses an aggressive matrix program that is quite out of the ordinary.

This comp plan is very different, for example there are no payments made on the monthly activity of your downline. The money that would go to pay all those small commissions is held and then generated when you hit a threshold point.

The threshold points signify some good pocket change, $500 for one, $10,000 for the next.

Here is what happens. The Traveler Board is the lower matrix you have to go through first and then the Express Board is the upper matrix you go through next. They each have 4 levels and the idea is to move from the bottom level which has 8 positions up to the next level of 4 and so on until after 3 moves you should be at the top position.

Once you get to the top of the first matrix, the Traveler Board, you get paid a bonus of $500 and then move to the Express Board.

The procedure is then repeated in the upper matrix until a distributor graduates from the top position receiving a $10,000 commission and $5000 in travel benefits.

The position then re enters the lower level of the top matrix and can rotate through it again and again each time earning $15,000 in total compensation.

The big bucks are made by having more than one position, which the company allows.

There are also residual payments made to those who have graduated from the top matrix and they can range anywhere from 5% to 10%.

There are many differences in building strategies depending on which organization you join and what they teach. Keep in mind you will improve you odds in a very active group that teaches multiple positions.

Commentary

This is a very interesting business model. Look, the product is interesting, the market niche is proven, but in the end its all about the money. Opportunities that reward more distributors with more money generate more excitement and grow quicker. This deal provides that.

There is lots of excitement about TVI, some love it and others don't trust it. Kind of like prospecting for MLM. There is always a bit of a gamble in a new venture and the cautious thing to do is probably to wait and see, but of course then it will no longer be early stage. TVI Express has an actual product that has value and they pay their distributors.

Judging from past performance I think we will see some pretty dynamic growth moving forward

One bad attribute of a matrix comp plan is that people tend to oversell the idea of only sponsoring two and your are done.

Doing business that way is probably not going to get you where you want to go. Its true that all you need to do to be fully qualified is to sponsor 2 people but a successful business plan is never based on doing the minimums.

Notice the word “Marketing” in network marketing, to be successful with any Network Marketing company, you need to learn how to set up a marketing system so you can plan on bringing several new reps in each month. Its the same with TVI.
