Three and a half years ago, Bo Short founded Passport in order to offer his friends and associates a fair shot in the crazy world of Network Marketing. Last night, Bo took another giant leap forward by setting aside 9% of Passport as an associates profit sharing program.
Bo then announced two new company officers. Dave Stone is assuming the role of Vice President and I (Ty Tribble) am assuming the role of President of Passport. Bo Short remains the CEO and majority owner. To say that Dave and I are honored would be a gross understatement.
When I addressed the folks on the conference call, I took a moment to talk about the stability of Passport. The fact that Passport is a debt free company. The fact that every product in the warehouse is paid for and the fact that Passport has turned an operational profit in every month since it shipped it’s first products in December of 2001.
It is important to know that the company you are affiliated with has a solid foundation and that’s what Passport associates have got. On top of the foundation we have placed four pillars. The pillars are commitments that the Passport corporate team are making to every Passport associate and customer.
1. Commitment to Communication
2. Commitment to Customer Service
3. Commitment to Training
4. Commitment to Creative Ideas
In the coming days and weeks, I will discuss these pillars in more detail. I believe they can be applied to any business.
I ended my portion of the call by saying this:
"We (Passport) have the systems and structure in place to be as big as we want to be.
(How big is that?)
We want to be as big as we have to be in order to meet your families goals."
Would I like to see Passport become a billion dollar company? Absolutely. Will I allow it to become a billion dollar company on the backs of a bunch of hard working people that aren’t meeting their goals? Not on your life.
More about Passport.
Congrats Ty and Dave. I wish you guys the best of luck. I hope you guys are able to turn around the bad image that MLM has.
I think Passport's safe from someone starting a tool business on the side for extra income and then telling associates how broke they'll be if they don't buy his tools.
If someone did start such a tool business, they would undoubtedly recommend the bestselling "How to Lose Friends and Injure Good People".
Holy Cow!…Thats Awsome!
I guess that helps explain why I havn't heard back from you guys…and I thought maybe I had been black listed for being a low end rep who moved on to other things. I guess you have just been busy..:o)
Congrats and good luck!

Congratulations on an honor I am sure is well deserved!
Just think….you could have still been trapped and broke in Quixtar hoping to reach Platinum one day.
