Global Resorts Network - Is MOR Vacations Now Better?
Better is in the eye of the beholder, or the marketer in most cases. There are only so many resorts and so many timeshare properties available to pull inventory from, MOR or Less MOR Vacations and Global Resorts Network are very similar in the product offering. From a pure resort perspective both MOR Vacations and GRN offer their members access to 5000 plus resorts. When you peel back the marketing noise surrounding both companies, there are some real differences however.
The hotweeks , Global Resorts Network travel service, was originally founded in Asia, thus they offer a lot more hotweeks in Asian areas such as Malaysia and Singapore, yes they have a small US office but that was really just created for the Global Resorts Network opportunity. The original membership is overseas based. If you live in Malaysia and Singapore then Global Resorts Network is your answer. If you live just about anywhere else then you have better options. MOR Vacations travel service partner is a US based company always has been and still is so they offer a LOT more hotweeks in the US that US based members can actually drive too. Additionally Global Resorts Network hotweeks begin at $298, MOR Vacations hotweeks begin at $149 - $149 is obviously cheaper than $298. So people in Asia or who have interest in traveling to Asia often are better off with Global Resorts Network, US based customers are better off with MOR Vacations. For the rest of the world it’s fairly similar, but again $149 beats $298 so edge to MOR Vacations.
The price, MOR Vacations has stepped in and set itself apart from the competition by offering a multitude of financing options that GRN affiliates have been requesting for years. GRN has been selling the platinum lifetime membership for $3,000 for a few years, which I believe to be a great price for the value. But one glaring issue has always been that many people requested alternative means of payment of financing and GRN affiliates did not have it to offer. With MOR Vacations these people can not purchase a vacation membership with many different financing options being offered to the consumer. And if the consumer has the money to make the full payment they can purchase the diamond lifetime membership for a price that I slower than the GRN top membership. This has always been one of GRN’s glaring flaws, the majority of people that purchase timeshares or vacation memberships etc do so via a form of financing, by not offering that option for so many years they were not opening up the business to retail only sales enough and wound up catering to home business seekers and recruiters only. MOR Vacations affiliates will be able to attack that strategic market much more effectively. To be fair, GRN did announce one new financing option once they realized that MOR Vacations posed a serious threat to their existence, but MOR Vacations still offers many more options. One other key point to note is that both MOR and GRN offer an entry level membership. GRN offers the Gold for $1500 for 3 years and MOR offers the Emerald for $1298 for 5 years. Basic math will tell you which is a better offer. The pricing edge goes to MOR Vacations without a doubt.
The home business opportunity, the business opportunity available through GRN earned lots of money for lots of people. And this can be attributed to the perpetual leverage compensation model. The real strength of perpetual leverage lies in the facts that real people at the bottom can and do earn more money than the people at the top. If there is one glaring flaw with the GRN perpetual leverage payplan, It is that anyone just getting started with the business do not make a commission on their first sale and if you are a free affiliate you will not earn anything for your first 2 sales. This has always posed a serious challenge to anyone getting into the business with limited funds because they will spend money on advertising but ultimately not make a nickel and by the time they are eligible to make a commission they may not have additional funds left to advertise with. This has been addressed by some conscientious sponsors sharing their commission with their downline, but quite a lot of the sponsors out there have no interest in sharing commissions. MOR Vacation has made changes to perpetual leverage that helps out the people just starting out and they have renamed it true perpetual leverage.MOR Vacations has taken care of some of the funding issues that new affiliates are susceptible to by paying 50% commissions to people on their very first sale to keep them funded. At the time of my writing this GRN also announced they would be changing their payplan to do the same thing, unfortunately it takes a new company to scare them in to doing what it takes to attempt to stay relevant but it may be too little to late for GRN. Another blatantly apparent difference between the two is that GRN charges its affiliates $100 a year to be an affiliate and MOR Vacations doesn’t charge a thing. This one is a no brainer, the edge clearly goes to MOR Vacations.
