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 give Avoya Travel a 5-star rating as a Host Agency for the following reasons: High level of integrity, supreme support and marketing by Avoya staff, world's greatest database and booking engine and the Mastermind program as it increases my productivity and bank account balance.
I love and appreciate everything Avoya stands for. They are upfront and honest. Easy to work with. Plenty of leads to work with and I am now at a point, 5+ years, where my repeat business is around 75% of my overall business. I love the buddy system and overall support.
I have been with Avoya a little over 8 years and have no intention on going anywhere else. The reason I give a 10 is because you have the total package, You have the Leads, The Booking Engine, the Marketing, the Support System, the ability to work as much or as little as you want and make as much or as little as you want. You also have the feeling of family. You can work from anywhere. There is a Buddy System. I could go on and on.

Every single Avoya member are always making sure to follow up with me, as their are all extremely friendly and professional
I am currently an independent agent in the Avoya Network. I am new to the travel industry and researched several host agencies before joining Avoya. I am extremely pleased with my decision for the following key reasons:
1. the Avoya technology platform is easy to learn and provides great support for my business
2. the team of Avoya employees backing up the independent agencies are professional, friendly and provide responsive and timely technical support when needed
3. Avoya's long-standing relationships with travel vendors provides a competitive advantage when closing sales
4. The Avoya live lead system provides a boost to your business aside from pounding the pavement to generate your own personal business.
My business continues to grow with Avoya, and I am proud to be part of the Avoya Network.
The main reason would be the leads.
I was only in the business for 2 years prior to joining Avoya, and those 2 years had me to the point of failure, due to no source of leads.
It's not easy, but you can grow and succeed in this group. I could not do it in Expedia Cruiseship Centers, my initial host.
Also, I like the group rates we sometimes have, especially with Celebrity and Royal Caribbean.
When you hit on a good group rate, you have a great advantage.
Thirdly, the AvEx's (Avoya Extras). When we have PPGs or good OBCs, it also puts us at advantage.
Most leads are shoppers, at least to some extent, and if we don't have something extra to offer, we have much less chance of winning the lead.
Best,
Mark
The support for conducting your own business on your terms is why Avoya hits a homerun all the time. It takes time and patience to develop a clientele but once you get going, everything comes into place.
Overall a wonderful group of people both other agents and staff...... with a terrific administrative team, the best support staff as well as all of the educational opportunities offered everyone each and every day. Live leads of course are the main draw to first working with Avoya as a host agency, but once you are learn the ropes, it almost becomes secondary to the opportunities offered. I feel as if I am part of a great family of friends and that holds great weight when you work most of your time compared to leisure time. Simply said, I love Avoya for many reasons.
Your score: 10
Your feedback:
This is a very good host agency that really is moving along with technology and moving as fast as the world is moving . You can always call someone if you are in need of a answer of a question that you may not know. There is always someone in the forum that would help.
