I actually had a call with her about it (you know when you get back off holiday and basically want to be holiday planning for all eternity!…. Just me?!….) but it stank of pyramid scheme and she was giving disingenuous vibes. The information that was sent looked like it hadn’t been proof read and written by someone doing a GCSE travel booklet (and got D for it!!)

Someone mentioned World Padlock in a previous thread and I also feel icky about them. She is literally so far up her own arse it looks painful.

screams pyramid because that’s what it is.
Inteletravel is the bit that sells the travel to people, but it’s plannet marketing (an affiliate of inteletravel) that allows reps to sell memberships to create their ‘down-line” and form their own ‘pyramid.

This is exactly what Surrey mummy does.
Using plan-net, Her principle is recruit as many people as possible - make out like it’s about selling holidays as that’s the kicker for a lot of people - especially in the Disney community - to be planning peoples holidays in your spare time around your home life and kids etc, raking in commission for it all.

She will then makes a percentage off the monthly subscription fee for ‘selling’ memberships, plus I’m guessing a per Person sign up bonus too. The more she recruits, the more she makes as well as a bit of the commission that any of her ‘workers’ make.

This commission stuff for the end workers is woeful in reality, and will barely break even by the end of the year (if at all) - their own website says commission is in the 5-28% commission paid from suppliers. But workers who sell only get 70% of that commission (80% later on but it isn’t clear at what point)

example on their website - sell a £5000 holiday, commission £350 (based on 10% average). But you might have had to do 10 quotes to sell just 1 (at best if you get a 1 in 10 conversion of quote to sales), taking 2-3 hours each. So say it was 30 hours effort to make £350 commission. That’s £12 an hour. At best… before you deduct your monthly subscription fee of £40. You also don’t get that money until 30-60 days after the supplier has been paid…Tesco hourly rate isn’t too far off this…

so you need to sell a chunk of holidays to break even and recoup your £500 a year membership fee.

im sure there will be someone along to defend the scheme soon with ‘facts’ as there always is on forums like this :LOL::LOL:

It's no coincidence that their subscribers starting going up and up as soon as they started doing cruises as it's the new "Disney" for getting the views/subs in. For me the opposite happen, go on a cruise I unsubscribe as I have no desire to be packed into a floating tin can at all.

I always thought she was a wanker when I saw that she was wearing a hat with her Instagram name on it. This just confirms she’s even more desperate than I thought.

It’s daycare for adults so I can see why it appeals to these same people. Everything needs to be sold as a package for them, and they won’t do anything outside of that bubble. Like Adam Hattan not getting off the ship or Victoria never doing typhoon lagoon after like 40 trips.
(Of course I’m generalising here, not saying everyone who likes Disney and cruises is the same).

That Norwegian Fjords cruise on Iona appears to be all the rage at the moment. I think it summed up the sheep think when someone commented on The Dis that they had been dragged to the Petroleum Museum in Stavanger but begrudgingly admitted it was actually quite interesting. Heaven forbid you might actually do something outside the tiny little world you're restricting yourself to and actually learn something!
