The travel industry seems recession proof, which might be why one of the newest travel multilevel marketing (MLM) companies in the industry is gaining momentum. Founded by Rob Hanley, the same guy who brought you NetMillionaire Training System and YourNetBiz, Primo Vacations is a luxury direct sales vacation company that promises low rates on luxurious resort vacations and robust commissions for their sales associates.
Travel Packages
Club members can get discounts on their accommodation of up to 80% off the prices they would find anywhere else. Since the club is private, a membership fee is involved but the perks are attractive. Members have access to 83,000 hotel properties, unlimited cruises at discounted rates, great deals on condos, villas, and cottages as well as resorts all over the world.
Becoming a Member
The process is simple and straightforward. Members pay a onetime fee of $697 and an annual fee of $39. The onetime fee is hefty, but members who choose to sell club memberships have the potential to immediately earn the membership fee back.
Making an Income
You can earn direct commissions when customers buy $697 worth of travel. With every $697 membership sold associates earn direct commissions of $500! The commissions are paid directly to associates rather than first flowing to the company (then back to the sales associate).
What Makes Primo Vacations Different from Other Vacation MLMs?
While associates have the job of finding customers and reps, from that point Primo Vacations staff do the rest of the work. Customers can make their travel decisions in a low-pressure environment without anyone hovering over them. If they want to call someone to talk about their travel decision before making the commitment, they may speak with a Vacations Business Assistant. Associates still make the $500 commission.
Primo seems committed to nurturing new associates as well. Personal Business Assistants (PBAs) mentor associates to keep them focused and motivated about achieving their sales goals.
Primo Opportunity
If any MLM can be described as turn-key Primo Vacations is pretty close to it. Some say it's a passive income stream goldmine, but as we all know, even goldmines require a bit of digging.
The Downside
Primo is a top tier program, without the really high prices to make a true top tier viable. Any top tier specialist knows that a lot of work is involved in selling a program with a buy in of more than $500. Therefore, as the thinking goes, it is better to market programs that have a higher buy in (with higher commission - at least $1,000), since the amount of work required is the same. Primo is more of a mid tier program with top tier characteristics, but without the mega commissions that true top tier programs offer.
The Wrap Up
Primo Vacations has a good product and support system. Time will tell if they make it as a long term money spinner. Keep an eye out for them.
