New Platinum member in South Africa
Congratulations go to Tuks Dabula in Port Jefferson, South Africa, who reached the level of Platinum in the week just ended. Platinum is a member who is a GOLD ranked member with 10 personal sales who are all Bronze Members and you have earned a weekly income of $3,000 USD or more in a week.
Tuks is our fourth Platinum in the world and the third Platinum from South Africa in the last 6 weeks. Tuks is also our member with the most number of personal sales in the world, a staggering 70 sales of a Privilege Pack, a clear 27 sales ahead of anyone else! Through consistent work and commitment she is attracting a variety of professional business people, networking leaders and many others eager to succeed in H&C. Watch out for her profile in the Hall Of Fame in the coming week.
More than 4,000 people attend the events in Africa!
My recent 3 week tour of Nigeria, South Africa and Kenya saw over 4,000 people attend the events held with over 60% of the audience being non-members investigating the opportunity and product offered by H&C. Almost every venue was a packed house with people even sitting on the floor, standing, and watching from doorways to find out why H&C is taking the world by storm. Extra cities were added to the tour due to the demand in many cases 2 sessions were held in the same day to ensure everyone got to attend.
What is the relationship between H&C and hotels, airlines and cruise companies?
Many people at the recent events asked about how exactly does H&C get to offer discounts in the travel industry? Let me explain.
We have different types of relationships with different suppliers.
Hotel Portal: This portal scans a wide selection of the largest online travel websites that sell rooms in hotels, resorts, self contained apartments and bed and breakfasts saving you have to search through the hundreds of thousands of website that will appear if you did a search yourself in Google. With a minute you can search through 900,000 discount deals around the world and then refine your search using a wide range of criteria such as star rating, price, what facilities you want, and how close it is to certain landmarks in that city. In a matter of minutes you can find the best available online details available saving you hours and hours of time doing the search the old way in Google. You can also choose from multiple languages and currencies to view the results.
As an example, in Durban, South Africa, where I stayed at the Hilton Hotel, the best rate was $141 USD a night through the Hilton website or going direct however our hotel portal found the same room for $86 USD a night. For $121 USD I got upgraded to a King Room on the executive floors with free breakfast and access to the executive lounge where there was unlimited drinks and snacks all day and night for myself and my guests. . . and still saved money!
Flight Portals: In much the same way our 2 portals scan different airlines to find the best deals offered by the airlines.
For example, one of the attendees for the events travelled from Australia to South Africa and was quoted a fare by her travel agent of over $5500 AUD. A quick search of our flight portal found a fare for a little more than $2800 AUD. . . a massive saving.
Cruise Portal: This portal scans all the major cruise companies seeking out the best online deals offered saving you time and money.
The portals for accommodation, flights and cruises are using internationally established online travel providers to help you source the cheapest and best range of deals online. We cannot guarantee that we will be the cheapest 100% of the time but in 90% of the cases we have found our portals are saving people significant amounts of money.
Direct relationships with suppliers: In this case H&C has negotiated discounts directly with resorts and hotels and other travel suppliers resulting in even greater savings. At present a large international wholesale travel supplier is talking to H&C to discuss a possible relationship which would result in even greater savings again.
Should you join Frequent Flyer and Hotel Loyalty programs?
Personally I recommend you join the frequent flyer program of every airline you use. Look at what other airlines they link with and can earn you points. Look at which hotels, hire car companies and other suppliers also earn you points so you can take this into consideration when making your bookings.
By choosing the right airlines, hotels, hire car companies and even money exchanges I have been able to earn enough points to get upgraded to business class on long flights making the flights much more enjoyable and memorable. Emirates and Etihad airlines offer great programs and have won many awards.
I also recommend looking at the various loyalty programs for hotels. In a recent holiday in New Zealand we stayed at the Rydges hotel in Christchurch for a few nights and joined their FREE online loyalty program. That resulted in a 50% discount on the Internet fee plus discounts of drinks and meals in the restaurants and bars.
I also recommend www.spg.com if you like 5 star hotels. This is the award winning program offered by the Starwood group offering ways to get FREE upgrades in hotels, FREE room nights, and cheaper rates plus combine the program with airline programs.
Hot New Travel Specials
Make sure you check out the new hot deals for international destinations. Our amazing web design team have simplified the navigation for the Privilege pack making it much easier to search for great deals. Go now and choose a great deal!
Where does the money for the cash rewards come from?
Did you know that H&C takes $160 USD from every sale of a Privilege Pack and distributes that back to members through our Rewards Program. You can earn income from every sale of a Privilege Pack in your team each week as long as you meet the basic requirements explained in the website and PowerPoint presentations. H&C is NOT an investment program, we do NOT sell memberships, and you do not earn money for signing up people.
You earn rewards from the sale of Privilege Packs and with the purchase of a Privilege Pack a person gets FREE membership with H&C and FREE access to the Rewards Program. If you or your team does not sell Privilege Packs then you stand little chance of earning any rewards.
Is my H&C income tax free?
H&C does NOT deduct tax from your reward payments however you should seek professional taxation advice if you are earning rewards to learn what legal tax deductions you can make operating H&C as a business opportunity, how to structure your business for maximum profitability.
H&C income is generally NOT regarded as tax free income by the various tax departments however there are many legitimate ways to reduce your tax payable. They key is to get professional advice and also keep accurate records of all expenses.
New PowerPoint to promote H&C
