Become a Travel Agent: Turn Your Passion for Travel into a Fun and Profitable Business
So,
I'm
assuming you want to:
become
a
travel agent
or
perhaps you already are a travel agent and wish to
improve
your results
Throughout this web
site, we share 'insider secrets'
to help you become a travel agent and run
a PROFITABLE
travel agency business from
home. I
highlight
"profitable",
because - let's face it - most travel agents don't
make a lot of money.
According
to a report cited by the American Society
of Travel Agents: "(...) the
average annual compensation for
a travel agent was
$30,750".
That's not enough to even
cover the
bills these days! - Let alone to travel the world, which is
why
many travel agents got into the business in the first place.
Why is the
"average" travel agent income so low? How
can the average travel agent work so hard all year long to only make
$30,000.00?
Here's
why: Most travel agents don't make a lot of
money because of lack
of information.
I
know this
because I have seen travel agents "do things
differently", based on "different information", and make anywhere from
$15,000.00 to $25,000.00 for just one
sale.
Travel agents DO
receive
a LOT of information about "travel"
itself, mostly coming from the "suppliers" (tour companies, cruise
lines, etc.) whose agenda is to to educate travel agents about
their
products.
However,the
information travel agents need in order to double, triple or quadruple
their income is (drumroll, please) ....
Well, that's precisely
the type of information you will find on this
