The most successful independent travel agents with our host agency are self starters with an appetite to always learn something new. The world is a huge, ever changing place, and we are always excited to learn about something new. Previous sales experience is of course helpful, but not a requirement.
Are you a self-starter, self-motivated, organized, already have a network through a social group? Do you have a passport and have traveled internationally? Do you have time to spend building a new business? You would make a great fit!
Our initial training is 3 days with some at home work to finish at your own pace. This takes most new to industry agents about 2 weeks to complete. Commissions are paid after your clients travel. There are exceptions to this, but most receive their first check 3-6 months after training.
Also, we assist you in spending some time building your online presence, so you are generating new leads. We have sales and marketing training, as well as product training, to help get you on your feet! It can take a few weeks to complete your marketing plan, so please be patient!
Independent agents have the ultimate flexibility. They work from where they are - in destination, at home, or from a local coffee shop. They do what works best for them. From initial travel consultations, creating vacation proposals, or assisting with during travel needs, our agents have the flexibility to work from anywhere.
Also, you will be selling travel! Based on your niche / interest, this could be selling family package trips to all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, to honeymoons in Tahiti! Through marketing yourself online, and through other channels, you will set yourself up to receive travel leads, and close some sales! Our biggest sellers are Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, Disney and Europe. From time-to-time, we may send you leads from our office.
We have found agents are the most successful with marketing via social media. We will go over dos and don'ts to be successful with this. We also provide content to keep your social media fresh without it creating too much work for the agent. We want Vincent Vacations agents to focus on selling.
Another successful way is with our SEO package that comes with being a Vincent Vacations agent. Agents create their own website, which is also marketed online for Google and other search engine keywords. Agents have found partnering with Vincent Vacations and following our marketing methods is a game changer in building a client base.
Also, we do have marketing training and marketing guides. We have knowledge and support for social networks, SEO, SEM, you will have an agent profile on our web site, and other marketing channels to help assist!
Yes! There are quite a few perks that come with being a travel agent! We go over this during training. We have a variety of ways to earn free and discounted travel. Most perks are based on what you sell.
Also, a lot depends on what you're selling and what suppliers you use. Basically, the more you sell, the more travel perks you can expect to receive! For agents, we typically have discounts on FAMs (travel agent familiarization trips - usually to international resort locations), company retreats and events.
YES! We encourage niches. We have a team of independent travel agents with our host agency that specialize in selling Disney destinations and Universal Studios vacations. We also have agents who focus on tropical beach vacations, destination weddings, and more specialties. A niche can really set you apart as a specialized travel agent. It is also the best option for those who wish to do this part time.
