The Rough Draft

May 26th, 2009

Recently, TheFactsAboutYTB.com (not to be confused with TheFactsAboutYTB.net), was updated to include an “open letter” from Scott Tomer to the masses on the front page. As with any important correspondence, the final product likely went through several revisions. The following iteration seems like it might have been one of the previous drafts:

The flurry of negative articles surrounding YTB’s settlement with the California Attorney General is not a surprise to me. I have accepted the fact that our critics take great pride in authoring factual articles about our company. The only way anyone could claim “YTB barred from California,” as one headline read, is to completely read the terms of the settlement, which we are hoping you don’t.

Open-minded people with legitimate agendas designed to support their position or promote a competing business must think they will tear us down. Andy Cauthen, our President and COO, recently sent a letter to our home office staff and leaders of our sales force (but not our sales force or the RTAs because we don’t want them to know too much) addressing these less than honorable competitors.

He said, “Critics have a motive; no one criticizes just to criticize. They are paid something. It’s a self-indulgent motive. They are looking to protect an industry that they have spent years building that we are trying to rape, pillage and plunder.

“We hate their methods and strategies; they take all the facts and we don’t like it when they show that we are less than ethical. They actually enjoy it because slowly but surely, people are beginning to notice that they are right. We have lost a ton of RTAs and Reps and right now we can’t sell most cruise lines and we shouldn’t even discuss IATAN.”

So why don’t we respond directly to our critics? Andy answered, “Because they are right. We are in enough trouble as it is, and we certainly do not want to go on the record.”

He summed it up perfectly by quoting the old farmer’s saying, “When you wrestle with a bull, sometimes you get the horns.”

No one seems to care what you do or how you do it as long as you’re ethical, legal, and compete fairly. But as soon as your true operations are discovered, be prepared for the critics and naysayers to begin spewing the facts and truths about you.

For all those critics, skeptics and predictors of doom for YTB, we aren’t buying your story because we know who we are. Besides, we just put out an incentive to recruit some more people to pay us $50 a month.

We are office, factory and construction workers, educators and pastors. So we do play the God card a lot.

We are farmers, students, artists, mortgage brokers, Hall of Famers, military personnel, doctors, nurses, and yes, many of us are convicted felons—but that’s ok as long as they can recruit and have someone send in a $50 check each month.

We live in big cities and small towns all across America, but mostly in homes that are under threat of foreclosure, so we prey upon those people to send us the $50 a month and lead them to believe that YTB will save their home. We are neighbors, best friends, co-workers, parents, veterans, coaches and volunteers. Well, only one Coach, and he has God at his side.

We are involved in our schools, our communities and our churches—these have been proven to be fertile recruiting ground as long as you can portray that you are making a LOT of money. We may have different political views, but we agree that America is a great place to live, work and raise families—and we all adore Coach and appreciate the opportunity that he had to make $3 million dollars a year and we make $120.

We are dreamers in action. We have an average IQ of 75. We don’t expect a hand-out, a bailout or someone to do it for us. We are motivated, self-starters who are investing in the Coach’s latest scheme in the hopes of providing a better future for our families. And whether you like it or not, we’re going to continue building our businesses with YTB in spite of you because we really could not care less about travel, and Coach wants more money.

Are we perfect? Hell no; but we will make sure that everyone that pays us $50 a month thinks we are. Have we made some mistakes? Mistakes is such a harsh word; we prefer to say that we made corrections. We recently emerged from a dark cloud of suspicion about our future when we settled the California Attorney General lawsuit—if you read the press release we sent out, stop there. Please don’t read the actual settlement because you may see that we cannot afford the fines, and well we just don’t know how the heck we can recruit in California when we have to tell people they will likely lose money. Maybe we can mention that really fast and quiet like at the end of the car commercials on television. While some have reported the end of YTB, we believe it is the beginning of the next phase—one that will continue to take money from people foolish enough to give it to us. We will continue to find free things to add to your “bizness” and hope that you don’t realize they add no value. We will continue to operate just under the law in all states until we are stopped.

Your disdain for us is abundantly clear, and you have proven you will keep reiterating facts that we must then try to cover up. You may not see our response to your criticisms in print or hear our voices in protest, but we are working hard to get as much money from the remaining RTAs that we have and are preparing to move on. As Andy Cauthen so aptly put it, “There’s never been a statue erected to a critic, but we did build a helluva nice one for the convention last year. And by the way, we thank you for allowing us to filter the money for that into our secret little company.”
