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 have been in the travel industry for over 20 years and have been affiliated with several host agencies. Avoya Travel offers the most comprehensive professional development available along with the most amazing support staff in the industry. The Mastermind Team is there to support you and help you grown your business
The education platform and Agent Power systems prove that Avoya helps make your business successful.
The very best decision I have made for my travel career of over 45 years.
Avoya is owned by a family who applies outstanding professional ethics in all aspects of the company. Tremendous software to provide support. During Covid pandemic the management team led the way for us to come out stronger.
We would LOVE for you to share your feedback with the world as it may help others who are evaluating which Host would be best for their Independent Agency. If you would you be so kind as to take a few moments leave feedback on two of our Host Websites, it would be much appreciated. To make it easier for you, I’ve included your feedback here: “Avoya is like having a big brother in your corner. Always there, looking out for you. Big brothers roles change as you grow so now it's possible to do more without too much interaction but it's good knowing that they are no more than a click away.”
“The all round support Avoya gives me as an independent agent is second to none. They put me in a position to be successful and offer our clients great vacations.”
Avoya Travel has supported it's Independent Agents like me every step of the way through the entire Pandemic. We had access to experts to guide us through the maze of Government assistance; support on hand for everything we needed so we could continue to service our customers, and work with our suppliers. We have been working for free for a year because of all cancellations, but Avoya Travel has been there for us. We knew they were not going away, and that helped sustain me throughout this horrible year. I highly recommend them to any travel agent who is considering a host agency.
Support!!! Plus dealing with the most honorable people in the business gives you great security.”
I've had the pleasure to personally interact with many of the staff at Avoya, and I have the utmost faith that they all care for the success of the IA's.
Joined Avoya Travel Network at the beginning of this year. My experience has benefited by the “The experienced Staff, comprehensive training, complete booking engines, constant updates, and opportunities to learn”.
The support has been fantastic and all staff have been so encouraging in this tough time. They all have really tried to give us tools to pivot and go in a different direction with offerings to clients with borders closed and no cruising. There is also so much supplier and Avoya education to help us keep up with current info for when clients are ready and bookings increase.
