Can someone please tell me about Global Travel International?

Question

I am interested in working for this company. I need some useful advice and I am also interested in the potential earnings.

Answer 1

People will give all kinds of advice, etc, but it will probably be biased. I would suggest researching the company yourself and making an educated decision. There are many companies who have had class action lawsuits, etc, but that doesn't mean they are scams. As such, conduct your own research and form your own conclusions. Also, if you can, find someone who is actually in the company and "interview" them, but again, this will be biased, so it will go back to research and your gut.

I have my own opinions about the company, but they are just that... opinions.

Best wishes...

Still, Mike Gross and Randy Warren knew the real state of affairs in the travel world. The pair ran Global Travel International--a five-year-old stable of 26,000 quasi-travel agents who earned commissions and travel perks by booking flights, cruises and vacation packages-- and had logged plenty of horror stories. They also were planning to launch Travel Confidential, a newsletter promising to teach travelers how to beat the system, know their rights and find deals.

The timing was perfect. News accounts had just surfaced about overflowing toilets and exasperated passengers trapped for hours inside parked Northwest Airlines planes during a Detroit snowstorm. Also, Congress began mulling a passengers' rights bill. But Gross and Warren had one major problem: the publication's marketing budget was practically nil.
So they dreamed up an online complement for the newsletter. PassengerRights.com went live in April as a vehicle by which frustrated travelers can log onto the Web, type in their complaint, and ship an e-mail posthaste to a selected government agency, with a copy directed to execs of the offending airline, hotel, car rental agency, tour operator or cruise line. The site also offers tips on effective complaining and travel providers' obligations. "PassengerRights.com is part of a whole movement that was occurring at that time of year when travelers were frustrated and the airlines were not concerned," said Warren. "We thought of a way to tap into that."

Because the climate was right, news media from the Associated Press to Bangkok Post quickly spread the word about the online consumer advocate. Translation: tons of free publicity, brokered by Pamela Johnston, Glen Ridge, N.J. Within a few weeks, the site was featured in more than 150 print, radio and TV stories. "I knew the media would latch on, but I didn't realize the extent to which it would do so," Warren said.

During the site's first full month of operation in May, consumers submitted the second-highest number of airline complaints ever received by DOT, one-third of them deriving from PassengerRights.com. By the time Travel Confidential premiered in July, the newsletter not only was stocked with ideas and stories pulled from PassengerRights.com, but it basked in the credibility the Web site had built. Telemarketing, word of mouth and some radio shows brought in readers, but the bulk of subscriptions--a number Warren declined to disclose--are generated from the online page.

Travel Confidential already is on its third issue and circulation is growing. Even the airlines have cooperated and provided PassengerRights.com direct e-mail addresses so travel executives can track which complaints come from the Web site. Though travel is their bread and butter, Gross and Warren said they didn't worry about rubbing their Global Travel supply partners the wrong way. "If traveling were more pleasant, people would travel more, and perhaps book more trips through Global Travel," said Warren.
