Cruise to cash is an online, home business that combines professional tour guides with the travel industry. They promises to make all the calls, give your prospects the guided tour, answer their questions for you, and close the sale. They claim to do all the work and let you collect the pay to make the venture sound enticing. In fact, they guarantee commissions of $77, $977, or $1,477 every time you make a sale. This claims to be a simple, profitable system that anyone can use to make easy money, but you need to look beyond the claims with any business before you invest in promises. Once some people consider what looks like a highly leveraged compensation plan, it sounds like they are going to get a lot of money from a self-run business.

You start by spreading the word about the system by using the marketing tools provided by the organization. Every time one of your prospects goes to a website, they can take the free tour. The CTC Tour Guides call them, answer their questions, and supposedly do the job of selling the product for you. Part of the credit that they give for their success is their marketing movie and availability of replicated websites. These tools, along with numerous marketing resources, are what they claim to use to make your sales for you while you do nothing.

With their promise of fast and easy profits, Cruise to Cash offers corporate managed Co-ops with an annual $500,000 budget while letting you participate in it for no more than $5 per day. This is enough to attract many prospective members. They also provide you with weekly training both over the phone and on the internet. However, there should be little need for training if you don't have to do any of the work!

A 2 up compensation plan usually means that you pay somebody higher up, usually the person that recruited you, two times before you ever get paid. However, Cruise to Cash claims that you get paid first every time someone either purchases from you or you get someone else to join the business. That means you get half of your first two sales instead of nothing. This is also an attractive feature to many people but you have to realize that the first two sales can be the most difficult and time consuming ones that you make and you will still be losing fifty percent of both of them.

Of course, the vacation packages you sell at Cruise to Cash are also available to you. You will have access to thousands of cruises at substantial savings and many people have joined for this reason alone. If you enjoy traveling, then you may like the sound of working for Cruise to Cash more for this bonus than for the actual commissions on sales. This company operates on a modified pyramid system that can't really guarantee any profits.
