Travel Agent Education - The Resources to Become a Travel Business Superstar

Picture yourself five years from now...

..... you've become one of the top, most sucessful travel consultants in the world. You are enjoying, not only financial freedom and recognition, but also the time freedom to travel and explore the world and accomplish many personal dreams.

In addition, you now have the financial resources and the time to help others become successful.

It's 2015 and you're propably still involved in your travel business, the business you created from scratch ... 'your baby' .... but, you're no longer working from the office in your basement.

Today, you are going over this month's sales figures with your manager (who works for you) .... and you're "attending" this meeting from the balcony of a luxury suite in one of your favourite destinations. 

How did you do it?

As you imagine all this, you will inevitably aknowledge the fact that your success would not be possible, if it wasn't for your dedication to CONSTANTLY improving your knowledge and skills in a few key areas.

In other words, your future success will be a direct result of your strong commitment to your personal and professional education ...... and to implemeting what you learn.



Unfortunately, most travel agents focus ... almost esclusively .... on educating themselves about "travel products and services" such as destinations, resorts, cruiselines, hotels and reservation systems.

• setting (and acting upon) goals
• managing time
• looking after their physical, spiritual and mental well-being
• understanding how to attract the things they want into their lifes, etc.

That's why, on this "EDUCATION" section of become-a-travel-agent.net, you will find a wide variety of resources .... some of which you can access for FREE .. and that will help you take the proper, "complete" approach to your business AND your life.

Of course,  here you WILL also find many resources designed specifically for travel agents ....such as online courses, home-study programs and useful industry websites.

Ready?

Here's a list of resources I've personally evaluated, grouped in different categories:

>> BEFORE YOU JUMP IN: 

Kelly Monaghan's home study course for people that are considering becoming home-based travel agents.


If you're thinking about starting a home-based travel agency, or if you're just not sure this is the right move for you, or if you have questions about how to go about it, this site is for you. Here you'll find articles, tips, opinions, and facts that will contribute to your knowledge of this exciting new wrinkle in the travel distribution system.

You'll learn how a home-based travel agency works, why they are becoming so popular (even among life-long "traditional" travel agents), and how you can profit from this growing marketing phenomenon. 

          What exactly is inside the home-study program?

>> TRAVEL AGENCY MARKETING 

You may know everything there's to know about every cruiseline, resort or destination ...

.....  But - if you don't know how to easily attract a constant flow of pre-qualified prospects ...... I guaratee that your travel business won't make it!

If you think it's up to your host agency to "deliver" leads and clients to you ...all I can say is: YOU will fail!

Marketing ( knowing what to do to get more clients than you can handle) is YOUR responsibilty and it  is THE most important skill you must develop.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many resources out there to help travel agents in this area.

Here's a "tried, tested and true" marketing resource I highly recommend:

The Travel Agent's Relational Marketing Roadmap

I've personally used this resource, not just to promote the services of my own travel agency, but also as the "text book" for my Travel Agency Marketing consulting clients.

From getting leads and prospects to nurturing customers and turning them into customers for life, the "Marketing RoadMap" is your step-by-step guide to getting the most out of each stage of the "relationship cycle".
YourWorkShops.ca

This Canadian web site offers FREE access to online "workshops" about travel suppliers and their products.

This resource is more useful for those that are already working as travel agents

To spice things up, each workshops has a different prize!!  I have seen workshops that offer a $500.00 cash prize and others offering a free, 4-night stay at a luxury resort.

The following are various resources, some free .. some available at a reasonable price, that will give you a well-rounded approach to your personal and professional growth.
