Home Based Franchise Opportunity

Starting a home based franchise is an excellent idea, and I want to get you off to a fast start. This blog post includes full details on the home based travel business involved, as well as the steps necessary for getting your website and/or phone number on television!

Bookmark this blog post, read through everything first, and then come back to click on the links. This post is really not long at all. I just want you to get as much as you can out of these steps. You can develop these steps into a complete business plan if you would like and improve them wherever you see fit. I'll even show you how to get low cost funding for this project at the end of this post.

Step 1:

Find out about about the advantages of our discount travel and luxury resort membership at YourHomeBasedTravelBusiness.com. Get on our next conference call to find how we operate, and afterwards give me a call with any additional questions. Once you decide to join the business, you can get a website just like this with your own domain. Choose a domain that is easy to remember and catchy. For example, I also own the domain DiscountLuxuryResorts.biz to let people know exactly what my website is for.

When you join the business you will also receive a corporate website, which looks like this: BetterThanTimeshares.net. I use this site for product specific advertising. Again, choose a domain that is catchy and easy to remember.

Step 2:

Become familiar with the stock footage (or available videos) at SpotRunner.com. These folks have excellent television quality footage related to travel, which you can use for the business opportunity, product sales, or both. You should also become familiar with the time slots available in your area, and the channels that you would like to target. The obvious favorite is the Travel Channel.

Once you join the business and narrow down your video search, send the video and your proposed narrative to GRN support for their OK. They are very fast in responding, because they want you to sell a gazillion memberships.

Step 3:

Get a high quality voice mail system. Your television spot is going to tell potential customers to visit your website or to pick up the phone and call you. And guess what? That's what they'll do! For that reason it is always best to direct customers to your website vs. your phone number. Why? Because you want them to know as much as possible before they call you. Additionally, your phone number is going to be on your website, so folks that really want to speak with you will pick up the phone and call.

When potential customers call in, you want your outgoing voice mail message to briefly explain the payment options, and to offer them more information by visiting your website. At the beginning and end of the message, make sure that you state that they can leave a detailed voice mail message for you, and that you will call them back. For example, my opening line is "Before you leave a message, here is a little information that may be useful for you".

You can listen to my full outgoing message (it's really pretty simple) by calling the number at either of my websites.

To kick it up a notch, go to Google and do a search on 'virtual receptionist' and buy one. This technology rocks!

If you have a call center or professional sales team, then of course, this kind of voice mail setup may not be necessary.

Step 4:

Follow up with your prospects, and ask them for the sale. Not everyone will buy on their very first exposure to our travel membership, so here's a little help. If you are using a website like mine at DiscountLuxuryResorts.biz, the system will automatically send professionally written and formatted email responses to people that request more information from your site. This is a very powerful and time saving feature. Right now this site only features the business opportunity, but will soon have a very similar presentation that is product specific.

Step 5:

Fund your business from your existing assets or use Prosper.com. I really like this group. They are the ebay of personal lending. Click on person to person lending to read my blog post regarding their community.

Conclusion

Our timeshare alternative really is gaining a lot of traction in the travel industry. Timeshare sales professionals that join the business always say the same thing: "It seems to good to be true." But they soon find out that it really is true.

The best way to get the most out of this business is to book a vacation for yourself. Why? Because once you stay at a luxury resort for only $298 per week, you're bound to tell people about it. You know how travelers love talking about booking vacations and the expenses involved, and you will have the best story ever. Why not get started today?
