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.
One of the most noticeable differences comes in the form of hotweeks. Global Resorts Network offers an overabundance of hotweeks in Asian markets such as Malaysia and Singapore. And this makes sense considering their travel service company was created in Asia and was only introduced to the US more recently for Global resorts Network. In contrast, the hotweeks offered by MOR Vacations appear to be almost solely based in the US, again this makes sense as well since the travel service company was founded in the US. For anyone in other parts of the world there are a few hotweeks here and there for various other countries but both companies lack in international hotweeks. From a pricing perspective MOR Vacations hotweeks begin at $149 and Global Resorts Network hotweeks begin at $298. I wouldn't be surprised to see this change however because Global Resorts Network has been trying to copy as much as they can from MOR Vacations in a struggle to remain relevant. Simple math would dictate who wins here, $149 trumps $289 any time, so the hotweeks winner is MOR Vacations, unless you are interested in the Asian market savings, then in that case you would go with more expensive option.
The price, since the creation of Global Resorts Network a few years ago, the lifetime membership has been sold for $3,000 which is a great price for the vacation membership. However lots of people, especially in these economically challenged times are not able to part with $3,000 for a vacation membership but would be interested in some form of alternative financing. Global resorts Network affiliates have requested financing for a long time and Global Resorts has basically ignored their requests. Global Resorts Network did offer financing once upon a time but they put a stop to it and never re-introduced it. That is where MOR Vacations has differentiated itself, MOR Vacations offers a multitude of financing options where someone can get in for as little as no money down if need be. And if you do have the money to make a full payment you can purchase MOR Vacations Diamond lifetime membership for a price that is lower than Global Resorts Network. Global Resorts did recently announce one financing option soon after MOR Vacations announced their intentions, but they do not offer the different options that MOR Vacations offers. It was good that Global resorts Network finally decided to put financing in place, but shame on them for needing competition to step in to make them finally listen to their affiliates, not to mention they still only offer one option compared to the many offered by MOR Vacations. Additionally MOR Vacations offers a 5 year entry level membership for $1298 where Global Resorts Network entry level offering costs $1500 and is for 3 years only. Clearly the winner here is MOR Vacations.
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.
