INDUSTRY
I began my journey as A Travel Agent / Destination Specialist with Avoya Travel network on July 5th of this year. After having done my research and moving from one host to another and from behind the scenes with ALG,... I realized Avoya was the better choice, because they provide leads ($$$) (maybe not all good leads), but at least they are honest about it. During the training they explain the percentage of good leads and bad leads. Since I started.... I've slowly followed through with all the clients based on the training provided from the very beginning to the Early Success training. I highly suggest, "Don't ever stop training!" Everything is easy to find and the support desk is pretty quick to answer questions when your lost. Having a one-on-one is easy enough, just email and someone will take time to help. Most of the job is about reading. Lots of reading.
Everyone I've spoken with has been easy to get along with, and though there are not classes where there is a teacher and the students in a webinar (which I'm very used to and it worked to have the connection to the community I was working with) it's actually a good thing. They do have webinar meetings where we do gather and are being taught, but they are timed and your questions are answered... and if not, just email someone and they reach back as quickly as possible.
I've already booked $70,000+ Gross in 6 months, and my current year commission is over $3,000+. That's pretty good in my eyes for booking 8 customers out of the 37 I've been trying to work with. Unfortunately at times, you do have to let go of a client because there is nothing you can do to match their unrealistic budget. That's OK! Trust me!
If your interested in joining Avoya, just understand your NOT alone. There is always help and taking leads is a quick way to make a bit of cash.
I do highly suggest getting out into your community and making yourself known. It's your community that is going to remain loyal to you, their Travel Specialist.
Good Luck (Fingers crossed for you)
because Avoya guys give us all the help we need and more, they are a great host company
Everyone has communicated and been so helpful, I really appreciate it. I have learned a lot outside of AU.
I highly recommend Avoya Travel. Everyone is incredibly helpful and supportive. Even in this terrible COVID-19 environment. The professional development is top-notch. The support team is very responsive. I've got nothing but good things to say about Avoya Travel. If you are searching for a host agency you need look no further.
I have spent decades of my life in different parts of the travel industry. My first love has always been helping people plan their vacations. I researched home based agencies and found Avoya. It has now been nearly 4 years. I have not looked back. Very simply put "Avoya is technology, Avoya is intelligent, Avoya is employees, Avoya is support, Avoya is family !! "
I have been with Avoya Travel since 2007. I have never looked back as it was one of the best decisions I have made for my travel business. I have always felt that the support that Avoya has provided for us in all aspects of our agencies. This is a family and I have always felt that both my challenges over the last 10 years and my strengths have both been supported.
Avoya Travel has been nothing but the best! The Education and support you receive when you become an IA with them is amazing! My recommendation as the best host agency in my book. I can't thank them enough.
I previously worked in a brick and mortar store. Avoya has it all over one of those. It is family owned company where the family is very involved. The Anderson's are very passionate about their company and those of us who represent them. They are very much hands on in all areas. They are not controlling but leading and helpful. I would definitely tell my best friends to look no further if they want to become a home based travel agent. The training you receive when you join is easy and clear. Not to mention if you have or need any assistance someone is always there to help. In all the years I have been with Avoya I have always felt this company is one big family and I am very blessed to be a part of it,
Avoya Travel is providing us with outstanding leadership, support staff and technology that is the best in the world to use to help us run our business quickly and efficient. They have kept all of their staff on during the Pandemic and they are going above and beyond to help us so that we can do what we do best - assisting our clients through an unprecedented and difficult world events that impact their travel plans. They have provided experts during our weekly online meetings who are there to answer any questions we may have. Avoya is concerned about us, our business, and our customers and going above and beyond to make sure we all get through this. I am grateful that I am an independent agent affiliated with the best in the business - Avoya Travel.
Avoya is so generous in their support of our Independent Agencies. Professional and personal.
First and foremost is the support. I made the decision to come on board a couple of weeks before COVID-19 hit. And while I did consider postponing, I bit the bullet and marched on, little did I know that my part time retail job would become full time plus and essential in a matter of days. EVERYONE at Avoya and AU has been very understanding and helpful in the confusing and stressful times.
Secondly, the simplicity of finding answers (my own and potential clients) has been great. And that's coming from one with a dominate Mac background! Again, support ties in here too.
I've yet to 'meet' someone that doesn't treat me like an old acquaintance or newfound friend. The energy of the Company is a positive, friendly one that obviously wants everyone to do well to create a successful company. That's one I definitely want to be part of.
So, while my perspective is fresh, my ears and eyes tell me that this is the right place to be, especially in the unique, volatile, uncertain days we are facing. Avoya is in place to be a forerunner in our new normal.
Avoya, you and your staff, every one in this company is appreciated! keep doing what you're doing!
