An Important Letter From YTB CEO Scott Tomer

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 21, 2009 -- 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 fictional articles designed to harm our company. The only way anyone could claim “YTB barred from California,” as one headline read, is to completely ignore the facts.

Small-minded people with hidden agendas designed to support their position or promote a competing business must think they better themselves by trying to tear down our company. Andy Cauthen, our President and COO, recently sent a letter to our home office staff and leaders of our sales force 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 build their own business while primarily calling attention to their self importance.

“Their methods and strategies are hateful; they take the lowest shots and gleefully hit below the belt. They actually enjoy it because they are calloused and insensitive.”

So why don’t we respond directly to our critics? Andy answered, “Not only does it accomplish nothing; they will actually distort your response and render your intentions worthless.”

He summed it up perfectly by quoting the old farmer’s saying, “When you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty. But the pig loves it.”

No one seems to care what you do or how you do it as long as you’re not too successful. But as soon as you start threatening the status quo, be prepared for the critics and naysayers to begin spewing half truths and lies 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.

We are office, factory and construction workers, educators and pastors. We are executives, realtors, bankers, stay-at-home moms, attorneys and CPAs.

We are farmers, students, artists, mortgage brokers, Hall of Famers, military personnel, doctors, nurses, and yes, some of us are full-time with YTB.

We live in big cities and small towns all across America. We are neighbors, best friends, co-workers, parents, veterans, coaches and volunteers.

We are involved in our schools, our communities and our churches. We may have different political views, but we agree that America is a great place to live, work and raise families.

We are dreamers in action. 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 ourselves in order to provide 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 and your lies...
