Are you up to the challenge?... the "VI Summer
Challenge", that is.  In the world of host agencies, there's NOTHING out there that compares to our company Vacations Internationale. Some people
are calling our company
"Host Agency 3.0"
(as in "next generation"
Host Agency)
We are different because of our focus on helping independent
travel agents like you create and own REAL
businesses.What makes VI so different? WARNING: Most host agencies will sign you up as a "sales rep", and they tell you that - since you are an "indendent contractor" - you are running your own business. That may be legally true ... BUT...I mean, if you are an "idependent contractor" you do ... technically... run your own business ( sort of )...You would have to be able to answer 'YES" to the following question: If I wanted to sell my travel agency business tomorrow..... do I have a "business package" - with its own brand, marketing and operating systems - which I can offer to potential buyers?  Unfortunately, most home-based travel agents affiliated with most 'regular' host agencies can NOT answer 'yes' to the above question. At best, they own a list of past customers who may or may NOT follow them if they were to switch to another host agency, open their own agency or buy a franchise. I could keep going about this, but I think you get the point. ( For more on this topic, see the article called "Build Your Brand, NOT your Host Agency's" ) The reason for the VI Summer ChallengeWhen people discover OUR host agency, when they learn about OUR approach and when they realize that they could actually be building a business ( instead of a just a sales career ) they contact us and they want to join us. That's great, BUT ... ... when we tell tem about the corresponding $1,500.00 to $15,000.00 required investment .. their excitement fades with frustration. The frustration doesn't necessarily come from how much our services cost ( because they tell us they can see the enormous value ), but from the fact that many of the travel agents who approach us have already spent big bucks with another host agency or another training program. Many of these travel agents ask us if there's anything we can do for them.They tell us about how great they are, how great their vision is, about the great travel business they'd build and all the sales they'd produce IF ONLY there was a way of joining our company without having to make a big financial investment. So far, we've given them the realistic answer: "Sorry - We would
love to help you, but we couldn't possibly give our
services away for free".
And you know the sad part (for us)? That we have sent away some very promissing entrepreneurs simply because of the financial barrier, and that sucks ... because we are interested in building an entrepreneur network with high-caliber individuals. So, my team and I got together and we asked ourselves: Is there something we can do? 6 hours and many Tim
Hortons later we concluded that...
... YES ...... there IS something we can do to help people join our company without letting (lack of) money stand in the way. In fact, we came up with something that would allow you to join our company - and start building a TRUE travel business - without paying a cent in start-up fees or initial training. What's the catch? This opportunity is available only to those who accept and succesfully overcome the VI Summer Challenge. So,
