Yayyy Sundey! This is great! so glad you are making videos
SUPER informative! Thank you
I'm glad it was helpful!
What you think are your top 3 Travel Host Agencies for 2019?
Looking at Outside
Agents at the moment.
Hi. I appreciate your information. It will assist me with moving forward. I think it would be beneficial to viewers if somehow you can use "Flash Cards" when listing the acronyms, they were a little difficult to understand. Other than the acronyms, I enjoyed listening to your presentation and find your information valuable. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback.
Hello. Thanks for posting this invaluable information. Do you mentor new travel agents?
Yes I do. You can reach me via FB messenger Sundey Gardner.
What are the best host agencies for somebody that's brand new to the industry? I don't even know what are the most credible courses for me to invest in. I've been researching like crazy. Could anybody offer me any guidance, tips, and advice? Open to any suggestions and your feedback's genuinely appreciated. Thank you for reading up to here. Much love to you & Take care of yourself!
New subie so glad I found you, deciding on a host agent now
Dee Mar what host agency did you go with. I’m trying to decide right now 🙄 I was thinking about InteleTravel BUT I don’t like the fact they have a recruiting side. Omg I’m needing some help.
Hi did you decide on a host?
I’m considering KHM
Me 2
I am new to the travel industry . I am doing my research and have some questions.
1. Are you allowed to be with multiple hosting agencies? Example:1 agency may not have as many vendor choices or maybe you want more options?
2. What is inteletravel? Is it just home based or multi level recruitment of associates or both?
I’m looking to sell plans vs recruitment.
3. Is it usual that host agency’s put you under 1 year contracts?
4. Which company allows you to get your Iata,clia and arc card without having to wait?
5. Usually when you have to wait to receive those cards are commissions shorter with outside agents
1. Yes you can be with multiple agencies but I forsee that a logistical nightmare long term and the numbers need to make sense to manage multiples. Check contracts.
2. Both. There recruiting an is under Plannet which is how you get associated with Inteletravel, which is the host agency and Plannet the MLM portion.
3. My experience yes. Check directly with them to confirm length.
4. Too many to answer that. Narrow your list down and make sure that is a question you ask your short list of agencies.
5. What do you mean shorter. These are agency specific issues that you'll need to work through with host agency. Commission payments usually have nothing to do with approval of CLIA, IATA, etc.p
Thanks for your informative video. Do you know anything about inteletravel?
@@OnlineTravelBoss Yes I am considering it but yet skeptical. I did not know that agents can get more commission the more they sell. I read some bad reviews on he BBB site.
They did not explain the commission very well either.
@@OnlineTravelBoss thank you went to an introductory meeting and they said it is $59 per month thank you
I’m with InTeleTravel and I love it.. if you need more info about it Please click here @ RacquelMartin.InTeletravel.com
@@racquelmartin2271 What do you love about inteletravel? How you been with them?
Hey I think I'm going to subscribe to your channel. I just left Archer Travel (Evolution). I still however I want to focus on travel, I have marketing, and my niche down pack. I'm curious to how you are independent now and why you left Outside agents. I'm considering them myself.
The decision to go independent should not be taken lightly. I recommend one stays with a host until they have successfully made there Income goals consistently for at least six to 12 months. They have developed relationships and have contact with key suppliers.
Hi I recently partnered with Archer Travel. Why did you leave?
Sundey I appreciate your video! I hv reviewed and debated host agencies until I’m blue in the face. I’m utterly fed up! I would love to pick your brain and ask are there any host agencies you recommend? I need the help and would greatly appreciate your suggestions!
Sundey Gardner hi I was wondering if you posted the video yet on which host agencies you recommend.
Hi Sunday, just want to ask what is the best host agency that is more on air travel?
@@OnlineTravelBoss I am a new agent but I have more people who travel by air than cruises. I could not compete with the prices. Thank you for replying. God bless you.
Precious Issa @Sundey I tried to look up Online Travel Boss and couldn’t find it?
@@jamietaylor4172 Thank you for your effort. I am still battling with Montrose Travel for they have air booking engine for the customers. However, I saw their reviews and it's not really good reviews.
What’s the best travel agency to work with?
Hello Joa Sima! To know more about our program, you can reach us out through m.me/jalyn.lu/.
Very helpful information, would you recommend a MLM for a beginner?
No I would not. There are great host agency options that exist without the MLM component. Here is a video I did on my recommendation czcams.com/video/CJ8OfFvB1gQ/video.html
@@OnlineTravelBoss Thank you!!
I was actually sold the “travel agent dream” from a MLM and I would NOT recommend at all. For some it works out but, it’s mostly about recruiting.
@@boothang242 This why travel business training is important. Launching and operating a successful travel business without recruiting is possible you just need to learn how to effectively run a business and navigate the travel industry. Reach out if you'd like to still pursue owning your own business without recruiting.
Sundey Gardner - Online Travel Boss what’s the best way to contact you?
I am thinking about Avoya. Do you have any experience with them?
Sundey Gardner This is such an informative response! I am totally interested in a niche of luxury, Caribbean and LGBTQ friendly with a slight emphasis on cruises and all inclusives for land. 😀 I’m really enjoying all the research, so I’ll be sure to keep your pointers in mind. I’d love to hear from you if you might have any suggestions. Thank you so much!
Do your research on Host Agencies.
Thanks for the info Sundey! I have been looking at KHM Travel and Travel Quest Network. Do you have any experience with the two?
I read on khm site that you dont get paid your commission until the travelers trip is actually completed so if you book a trip for a client Jan1 they pay in full to go to the Bahamas on March 1 that means that you will not receive your commission on that trip until the week after the trip is completed. I need to check on this with how avoya pays commission.
@@ashleyb2392. Actually that's all I've been running across. Still researching though so we'll see...
Hi did you decide on a host?
@cherissa Thomas-Span
Do you have to be a certified Travel agents to sign with a host agency.
No you do not need to be certfied. Often people signup with a host agency with no travel industry experience or even business experience. Join me inside my group at travelbossgroup.com/join.
@@OnlineTravelBoss Thank you so much for your immediate reply. I have so many questions.
What’s the fee to get started?
Depends on the host agency you select. Each have different fee structures. Range from $0 to $300
Are you still in the travel business?
Yes join me and other travel pros inside of FB group Travel Agents Education & Coaching at facebook.com/groups/howtostartatravelagency
@@OnlineTravelBoss Who is your Host Agency?
@@crystalsmith1476 I'm independent now but used to host with Outside Agents.
@precious Flaharty Yes that it's 1 bad side of OA, but when you have a good marketing plan and strategy hitting the $5K is absolutely achievable. Check out the Marketing Boss Academy for courses to help with marketing your travel business or send me a message, information in the description.
Can you do an video on becoming an Independent Travel agency without an hosting? I want to plan for this later down the line. Thank you
That's a great topic...yes I sure will.
Did this video ever get made? Im just discovering this channel and there is so much great content! Thank you!
Why don't you answer any questions? 🤔
Thanks for your feedback.
InteleTravel
Awesome please let me know how you're enjoying being a travel pro.
