I’m sure that some of you are looking at both of these companies, as I did recently, so I wanted to write my honest opinion for those of you who are taking a look at joining either the Global Resorts Network or Primo Vacations Club home based business opportunity. Let me first say that I am a member of Primo Vacations Club but will be as unbiased as I can in providing you with this information since I did also look thoroughly at GRN. What I will do in this article is provide you with my thought process when going through my due diligence and maybe some of what I say will resonate with you and help you make your decision!

First of all, both companies provide the business model that I was looking for.  A higher ticket item with a Get Paid Today commission structure. When you make a sale, you get paid. No more waiting for your inactive downlines!

• PRODUCT: Both businesses have basically the same product, if it’s not identical. It’s a terrific discount travel club membership which offers its members savings of up to 80% on resorts, hotels, all-inclusives, and cruises. Well worth the membership cost if you like to vacation.

• COST: Right off the bat, price is a big difference and one that I think needs to be considered strongly. GRN costs $3095 while Primo Vacations costs $697 to start your business. GRN also charges an annual associate fee of $100, which does not include a marketing system. If you want an already established GRN marketing system, of which there are a few, that will cost an additional $50 – $150 per month. Primo Vacations has a $39.95 monthly fee that includes a complete and robust marketing system with some really great capture pages that you can plug into.

• COMPENSATION PLAN: This is an area that you really need to look closely at, since it’s really the most important factor in investing in a home based business (besides believing in the product and the company!). Both companies provide very good compensation plans.

Global Resorts Network pays you $500 for your first 2 sales  and then $1000 for every direct sale you make thereafter. You will also receive $1000 for every sale that your direct referrals make and $500 for their referrals’ sales. GRN also has a “perpetual” comp plan where it’s possible to earn $1000 for sales made by team members up to 5 levels deep but you’ll have to watch the video to see how that works. In my opinion, it looks good on paper (if you can understand it!) but won’t work for most in reality.

Primo Vacations has a more straight forward comp plan. It’s a 1-Up, so your sponsor receives the $500 on your first sale and you receive $500 for every sale that you make after that. And, you make $500 for every first sale made by your direct referrals. So, basically $500 for your direct sales and $500 for the first sale of your first-level team members.

My thought process in analyzing both compensation plans was this…

While GRN’s compensation plan offers the potential for greater “passive” income from the actions of your team members, will this really happen? How many network marketers are there who will be able to actively and consistently sell a $3,095 product, even if you train and mentor them? I wish the answer was all of them but we all know that’s just not the case. Particularly because the market for home-based entrepreneurs looking for +$1000 businesses is about 1%. It’s a much tougher sell. Sure, there are some people who are experiencing terrific success with GRN but these people are few and far between.

Primo Vacations, on the other hand, is in a price range that is affordable to  about 85% of all network marketers. That gives you a much larger audience to sell to. Plus, that price range is easier for most network marketers who may not have a tremendous amount of experience, to sell. This was a key point in my thought process. Can more people be successful selling a $697 product or a $3095 product? You know my answer!

I believe that the travel industry, an $8 Trillion world-wide industry, is the place to be for success oriented home based business entrepreneurs. Both of these companies offer a legitimate business with lucrative compensation plans and a terrific product. Do your due diligence before joining either. If you decide on Primo Vacations, when you join my team you receive my “Private Team Training Site” and mentoring every step of the way.
