Choosing the right travel agency involves much more than comparing commission percentages.
Prospective agents should understand the entire business relationship: What will it cost to join and remain with the agency? What commission split will you receive? Can that percentage grow? What training and ongoing education are available? Will you have people to ask when you encounter something unfamiliar? What suppliers can you sell? What technology and marketing resources will you need? And what will the agency expect from you in return?
Culture matters, too. You’re building your own business, but the people and resources around you can have a significant impact on your experience.
407&Beyond encourages applicants to understand those details before making a decision. Our model combines independent-contractor flexibility with personalized support, collaborative resources, supplier education, marketing tools and a commission structure designed to reward long-term growth.
