Carbon Copy Pro Critques

Critiques of CarbonCopyPRO You May Have Seen with Responses

Below is a response to a blog post by a Global Resorts Network (GRN) representative on 18 June 2008.

RESPONSE

I'm with Carbon Copy Pro so, as you might expect, I disagree with your assessment.

Before I explain why most of your points are wrong, allow me to say that I think GRN is a good business. If someone is interested in the travel industry or thinks they might enjoy recommending quality vacation packages at a discount, I recommend GRN to them.

On a related note, I don't need to bash another company to make my company look better.

Maybe you decided to compare GRN with Carbon Copy Pro because you might get some search engine traffic using the CarbonCopyPRO name.

Or maybe you think that bashing Carbon Copy Pro makes GRN look better--a dubious assumption, I would suggest.

Incorrect statements in your post:

1) MLM generally refers to companies with a commission plan that pays out on multiple levels.

CarbonCopyPRO has only two levels: Your sales and the sales of the people you bring into the business. Calling it an affiliate program would be more accurate, although "direct sales" is the term most often used.

2) You write:

"The carbon copy company is definitely focused on being a business, and there are no perks just for being a member."

First of all, what is wrong with a company that is "focused on being a business?"

Second, there are dozens of benefits for being a member so it's hard for me to understand where you're coming from there.

3) You write:

"Since this program is so expensive, it seems hardly worth it, or even possible for most people to be able to join."

You seem to be arguing that if the start-up cost is higher than your company's start-up cost, then it's "expensive."

It's all relative, isn't it? I mean, there are many network marketing companies where you can get started for under $200. And, on the other end of the spectrum, most franchise opportunities are at least $100,000 if not one to two million to start.

What is expensive to one person is inexpensive to another.

Also, you're making a huge assumption when you write that it's not possible for most people to join because of the start-up cost. I've had some team members come in Platinum Plus and I've had college students start as Referring Consultants and work their way up to m1 and probably beyond. There is a substantial range of interest and ability to start at various levels.

There are a lot of people who will easily spend $10k to $20k to start a lucrative home-based business.

It's mostly about your mindset: If you assume that people can't afford your product or service then you will attract people who can't and you'll turn away people who can.

4) You claim that Carbon Copy Pro training programs are good but that GRN's are just as good and provided without cost.

Are the business training modules made available to members who are not also reps for the company? And can they take all the training courses even if they never take a vacation (and therefore never pay any money to GRN)?

If not, how is it free?

Have you compared in detail the training provided by both companies? Were you a member of CarbonCopyPRO?

If not, how did you acquire access to the private training sites for a detailed review?

I encourage you to do more homework before posting inaccurate information. Better yet, don't boost your company by putting another one down. If you infuse your comments with negativity that is exactly what you will attract.
