YTB is a direct seller and proud member of DSA

YTB Now a Proud Member of the DSA!

Hi again, Sabrina here with some great news about this great company called YTB and how it is not what many of you have thought of.
On September 18, 2007, The Board of Directors of the Direct Selling Association ("DSA") approved the membership applications of 11 direct selling companies...one of which was YTB!
YTB completed the one-year pending period required for full membership in the association. During this time, YTB's marketing and business plans were reviewed to ensure compliance with all provisions of DSA's Code of Ethics.
"The members of the Direct Selling Association pride themselves in their commitment to the highest standards in business ethics," said DSA's President Neil Offen. "By applying for membership in the association and going through a rigorous approval process, these companies are saying they take their ethical obligations to their field salesforce and to the ultimate customer seriously and are willing to make a public pledge to that effect."DSA's Code of Ethics gives the direct selling industry one of the strongest self-regulatory codes in business today.
All member companies are not only required to comply with the Code to be admitted to the association, but must also continue to uphold and promote the Code as a condition of continuing membership in the association. DSA's Code is enforced by an independent code administrator who investigates and prescribes remedies in response to salesforce and consumer complaints against member companies.The Code itself includes provisions requiring truthful disclosure of product information regarding price, grade, quality, quantity and availability.
The Code expressly prohibits pyramid schemes, deceptive or unlawful consumer or recruiting practices, misrepresentation of earning or sales potential, inventory loading and unreasonable entrance fees.DSA is the national trade association of the leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers.
Among its more than 220 active and pending members are companies selling both via a party-plan method and in the traditional person-to-person style. In 2006, U.S. direct sales were more than $32 billion with more than 15.2 million direct sellers nationwide. The vast majority are independent business people - micro-entrepreneurs - whose purpose is to sell the product/service of the company they voluntarily choose to represent. Approximately 90 percent of direct sellers operate their business part-time.
What does this mean for the many individuals that have been sitting on the sidelines, because they thought that YTB was a MLM or a Pyramid? Well, it just means that they need to take a look at YTB once again. We are a direct selling company with a universal product, which uses network marketing to advertise to the people. Our business model has universal appeal and our product is being used by over 80 millions people through the internet.
SO, now that we have cleared that hurdle, how about taking a look at YTB once again. Go here to find out more. As always, call me to find out more on how YTB can also make a change for you too! Thank you .
