April 16, 2004
Welcome to the First April 2004 edition of the GO News
letter.
Tele-seminar Apr. 30 on Business Services
Our next tele-seminar on travel protection is at 1PM EST on
Friday, April 30. We will talk about our business services
discounts with Business Advantage, including discounts on
Office Depot, Hewlett Packard computers, overnight shipping
with UPS and Spring PCS cell phones and pagers. Mary
Hazzard, the firm’s president, will explain the discounts
and how they can save you much more than your annual dues.
As a GO member, the seminar is free. However, you must go
to the GO web site to register, as space is limited.
Our last tele-seminar was an overview of the GO travel
protection program, which we view as a huge potential money
maker for every member, as the cost of an individual policy
will be in the $100 range and you earn approximately 30% on
each one. That’s $30 in your pocket on each person you
sell.

it.
Great American Road Show
Some of you were able to participate in this group travel
event that was held in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., last week and
take advantage of the $130 per person savings we offered.
Jeff Gayduk from GO was in attendance and we sponsored a
reception there. Go to

GO Membership Offer Going
GO added our 49th paid member this week, with another 40
applicants waiting approval. We’re excited about the
growth in just a short couple of months and are on target
to hit our “reach” goal of 250 for this year. If you have
any colleagues that you think would benefit from
membership, please tell them to check us out at
www.goexperience.com. Our offer of two years for $95 is
definitely going away at the end of this month, so please
urge them to hurry if they are truly interested. If they
register to join and name you as having referred them,
you’ll receive $25 in GO Bucks, to be used to pay for GO
items, such as seminars in print, etc. Or send me an email
at johnk@premiertourismmarketing.com and I’ll get in touch
with them.
Industry Events
We have added a new section to the GO web site for industry
events. We have some on there now and will be adding many
more as they come in.
