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)
I started as a new to the industry IA in mid March 2020, yes what an unfortunate time, right! Well I look at it is it is giving me the time to learn, prepare, collaborate, and explore prior to jumping in head first. All of Avoya's processes have over the top, hands on, and I feel focused they care about me and my success. I know that when the flood gates open I will be more than prepared. THANK YOU
Your the best. Will make 10 years soon, and you have never failed me and always try to stay ahead of what is going on in the travel industry. Great support system too.
The Avoya Team support in all areas of our business; the SR system available 24/7; the connection between Avoya Travel and Vendors, which assures the IA the best offers to clients and automatically gives the IA advantages to connect directly with Vendors; and of course, the weekly direct deposits and much more!
I'm given valuable tools and the support I need. Friendly, thoughtful online events are always useful, even when I repeat them. All of these are preparing me for "The Second Wave!"
Avoya Travel to me is the best Host to be with as they care about their Independent Agents and work hard to make sure that they have all the tools that are needed to be successful. I cam from another Host and 90% of the time you could never find anyone as they were always traveling somewhere. But that is not the case with Avoya Travel they really care and do everything to keep you up to date. I just love this company now and will stay with them for as long as I can work.
You guys are my family. You have my back.
I was out of work over a year when a freind told me about Avoya since I had 2 years experience working for a storefront agency. I LOE IT. Tjey support us in many ways--training, leads, recognition, encouragement and personal attention. They are a family owned company with Christian values. They set up charity events. In this time of turmoil they are behind us one hundred percent. I highly recommend this host agency!!
When the recession hit in 2008, i waid laid off from my job and looked for over a year to find work. No one would hire this 50 plus year old with decades of experience, not even McDonalds!
One day I saw an advert for the Avoya Travel call center and applied, they contact me the next day and hired me a week later. After no one would! THIS is the kind of company Avoya is...they care about people.
Although I loved the call center, after 5 years I expressed interest in starting my own Travel Agency, Avoya was behind me 100% They helped me get the training I needed and I became an Independent Affiliate in the Avoya Travel Network. They provide and excellent platform to work in, live leads, support system and an amazing accounting dept. Today is my 4th anniversary of opening my agency and Avoya is still supporting me on a daily basis.
If you are considering becoming a home based owner of a travel agency or looking for a new Host Agency, I cannot recommend Avoya Travel enough. As tough as times are these days with the pandemic wreaking havoc on the industry, I truly feel Avoya has my back and is doing everything they can to assist us in the Network in any way they can to help us get through this difficult time.
After serving as a travel advisor within the Avoya Travel Network for a few years, I have come to greatly appreciate the enduring values of Avoya Travel that goes back to its founders - Pal and Pat Anderson. I decided to work within Avoya after meeting some of the greatest professional IAs! If you need training and encouragement, their Mastermind training, lead by Tammi and her staff, is the best of the best. Their Annual Conferences are top-notch. I can't thank enough the professional guidance of Kerry's team whenever I submit a support request -- first class help. Their group's department has always been helpful. Never an issue with commission payments -- the unsung heroes in accounting! I closed a lot of sales due to Avoya's exclusive perks and discounts. Since Avoya is committed to innovation and excellence, they are have a solid long-range plan that is flexible enough to make changes along the way. Their computer system is easy to use. I did not mention their outstanding Live Leads system -- because I was able to be successful with my small business due to my repeat and referral business -- which they have recognized in a new way across the Network. Check em out.
The choosing of a host can be the difference between great support and average support. We have found Avoya to be there for us anytime we need a back office of any kind. They want to make sure you success. The software is not only user-friendly but also detail in the integration with vendor search agent. I like the lead generation program . People complain that some of the leads are not good. Well in all reality. The leads are only as good as the people going in to request information. Sometimes you get some really serious options and sometimes you won't. That is of no fault to Avoya. I will continue to run our business through this host
