This Just In

In advance of the release of the financial reports for 2009, YTB is holding a call for selected individuals withing the company this afternoon. While the content of the call is still unknown, I suspect it will be a typical rah rah call to give talking points to address the inevitable questions from the field and to stem the expected latest round of RTAs fleeing the ship.

As news comes in, this page will be updated, so check back and refresh!

3:55 PM 3/19/2010  On the line, listening to soothing music. Spelling will not count!
3:56 PM 3/19/2010  Someone picked up. Beeps. Bermuda called. A lot of people talking together. Atlanta, Idaho, Florida, Jeannie Shapless. Great news great news a lot of people calling in. Welcome to the call Minneapolis. Welcome Florida. Welcome Alabama.
3:58 PM 3/19/2010  Bobby Simpson: thrilled that so many called and they are starting in two minutes. Scott and Coach will be on the call. Have had great Zam Zuu success thanks to all and it has been a great ride since January. Wants you to roll up shirtsleeves and get to work. In creation mode to help you grow your business.  Gonna start in 30 seconds.
4:00 PM 3/19/2010  Scott Tomer: Exciting things happening with Zam Zuu. Seemed like forever that they launched the company. 40 $5000 bonuses have been paid out. PTL have earned 1000 bonuses. Sales of Zam Zuu are way up over last month. People leaving is down dramatically. Lot's of people coming in. Approaching 2000 people that have reactivated their business in the last 64 days. Juliett said that a lot of people did not know about Zam Zuu but were still paying $49.95, so Juliett got them excited. What can ZamZuu do to reactivate old people.
4:03 PM 3/19/2010  Coach:  Wheels started to spin and talked with Roland to bring the family back and have a family reunion. Started working a week or two and did some more work. Wanted to give old people a free month. Then decided they needed to give people a reason to see how valuable the business really is.  Starting right now, they worked out an arrangement for when a person comes back and pays their first $50, they will give them an incentives. One thing is a three day two night vacation. Second thing is one that Chriss went on-a cruise Bahamas Vacation. Cruise from Ft. Lauderdale and then Freeport for three nights. This will be a hundred air credit companion ticket. $50 rebate on spa. When a person re-ups, they will see the new Zam Zuu and will get all these things delivered to them. Coach is so pumped up that he can't stand it!  This will be announced in an hour.

4:06 PM 3/19/2010 Bobby Simpson:  System in place now. But it is a limited deal--10 days. It is NOT going to be extended. The push is right now. The tools are there and there are sample emails that you can use to contact inactive people. You need to consider this your job. Don't quit what you are doing, but contact these people. They made messages 140 characters so you can tweet and text. Last hing to share till turn it over. They don;t want to just turn sites back on. They want people to give YTB $49.95 based on the value of the packages Coach put together.
4:09 PM 3/19/2010  Coach: That is unbelievable. When people come back and see the new Zam Zuu and the value and the partner stores. So these sales are goping to count for your $2 residual from day 1. They will count to your $5000 check. Reps can make this pay off. It gives you a reason to get people active again. You need to get someone excited again. They will all say "wow this is what I have been waiting for.".  Scott is in Kansas City and it is a wonderful gift to people.
4:11 PM 3/19/2010  Scott: These are people that were in the business. They paid the upfront fee. They paid the $49 monthly fee. This is all about turning their business back on and pay for 30 days and let Zam Zuu show you how much more is there. I just know that when people can see the business they now have, they will see sales of products continue to grow. Been working on commissions. The glitches are identified. The Giada thing has been worked out. Commissions will go out in April. Don't want to see sales drop while they are trying to get people back in. You believed it once, you will believe it again. We are just that confident you will love what you see. The momentum is created. We started in travel and made a ton of mistakes in front of 300 or 400 people and no one saw them. Positioned now to make the business owners and make them absolutely profitable. Wants to end up with  he cant say in words how he feels about this group. You have been with us through this period of time. You are responsible for the one day when they had momentum. Juliett Jerome and Rick, the  Funks, Roland, all positioned to win. Zam Zuu is beginning. There is no momentum. It is beginning. It is the beginning of the wave. This is not the time to say we are back. We need to double the efforts. We need to make one more call or one more presentation. It will mean the difference between those who don't earn and those who break the bank. And he needs you to do a little more in the next ten days. Do a little more.

4:16 PM 3/19/2010 Bobby Simpson:  Happy about new leaders that are stepping up. There ais a whole new group of leaders that are ready to be starters. This convention will be about the new leaders and those new leaders on the call today.
4:17 PM 3/19/2010  Coach:  Let's get out ther and get the word out. Let's keep the momentum coming.
4:17 PM 3/19/2010  Scott: If you don;t want to go thru the hassle, just have people go to wewantyouback@zamzuu.com and they can re-up.
4:18 PM 3/19/2010  Bobby Simpson: Coming up in the next week, they broke some code in the media center to make commercials.
4:19 PM 3/19/2010  Scott: Again this was people who have canceled their sites as of yesterday, no none else we want them back. Proud of you. Have a good weekend
4:19 PM 3/19/2010  End of call
Well, I was partially right. It was definitely a rally to get people back in the fold paying $50. The incentives are presumably the certificates from their BBB rated "F" business partners.

But, no need to hear it from your Coach's Corner Members or Directors. You heard it hear first.

One unsaid, yet important item, is that the financials will NOT be released until the last minute--or possibly extended. This program will not succeed when the financials are public. Hence the "not to be extended" 10 day period. YTB will try to recapture and re-sign as many people in 10 days prior to those people being privy to the 2009 financials. Once they are re-signed, they will have to go through the whole termination deal again!
