Hi Cyndi,
Thank you for the video. I really open my mind after listening to it. I am working 8 to 5 now but really interested in selling Disney ticket, is there any ways we can do it online? Will Disney give us a code to check out foe ticket that we sell?
Thanks
Which host agency do you most; Travel Quest Network or Outside Agents?
Thank you so much for this. ❤️
I’m so glad you called out the MLMs.

Yea I dont want to do MLM. I want to stick traditional. Glad you clarified
MLMs work for some people. There are ones that don't require recruiting. BUT I always find MLMs don't have one focus, they're always selling more than just what they're supposed to be about and there's never enough real mentorship/support. Because they're too busy recruiting more people.
Teach me the ways!!! I'm here for it.

YES! This is perfect. Just found a job on indeed from a respectable travel agency. And I am looking into this and working at home sounds awesome. Lol
Did you get hired?
Those MLMs are everywhere!! I just did what I thought was supposed to be interviews and I was brought to a whole presentation with other people... it was so unauthentic. It felt like mass invitation and was marketed as a job posting.
Yeah, that is the worst. Sorry that happened to you. Check out our Free Masterclass it's a safe zone for newbies to learn. ;-)
Dude, I "walked in" to a Zoom interview of 450 people last week Lol I was like uh.. this is def not it and left. Then "interviewees" texted me to see where I was. When I told them, they asked me why I wasn't interested. I was like "Been there, done that. No thank you." Some of them get so defensive too when you say its not what you're looking for.
I have a college friend who told me we'll have a one on one meeting then to find out it's mass presentation.I blocked that person🤣🤣🤣
@@wanderlustceohi where do I sign up for your masterclass . I”m glad I found your video , I was interviewed by an MLm yesterday and grew suspicious and fell down the rabbit hole on here but so glad your channel came up !
Working together whether subscribing or signing up works for each other to provide success
That was awesome..THANK YOU!
thank you for warning about MLM
You can’t scare me. I’m gen x! 😂😂😂.
Nice content
“You can’t scare me I’m a Genn X” then wheezing laugh 😂 that right there got you my subscribe 😊
It's true! We are built different!! Hahaha
Great content - I had an additional question - do host travel agencies offer APIs if you have a mobile/website OTA?
❤ thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you
Welcome!
Hey Cyndi, thank you so much for your videos they are super helpful. I have been looking all day for host agencies that accept UK agents and cannot find anything online, do you know of any?
Our agency does
So hosting is like Etsy where they get a portion of your sales and charge listing costs in exchange for the built in audience?
I tried to take your master class .. got thru the intro
Hi Cyndi,
Thank you for the video. I really open my mind after listening to it. I am working 8 to 5 now but really interested in selling Disney ticket, is there any ways we can do it online? Will Disney give us a code to check out foe ticket that we sell?
Thanks
What about doing travel for corporations? Worth it? Do you do that at all? Most seem to have their own on staff. Thank you!
well i messed up..im only 2 weeks in so i might be able to save some face but yeah my contract was way long and has crazy stuff in it like u said.....ahhhhhhh what do i do now???? i was looking for a coach so glad i found ya!
Hi Nancy!
Did you read through the contract in its entirety? If not, I would suggest going back & reading through all of it to ensure there are no red flags. If there are, I would suggest taking a step back to review your options before booking clients with them. We have a list of vetted host agencies in our Careers on Vacation Program. We would encourage you to apply for a discovery call with our team to answer any questions you may have:

I'm based in CT, I've been dabbling in group travel, but I'd like to do more and learn so ,much more. I'm really green ,but I have hosted to groups one of 20 and another of 60. Do you think having a host would benefit me?
You have peaked my interest. I am a NEWBIE, having never been a travel agent before. I am now in Ashworth College taking classes to become a travel agent! I love how down to earth you are and you speak clearly and I am so grateful for all your video training. God bless you.
Hey did you finish ashworth? Did you get certified and how was the program?
I'd like to know as well!
Do you offer opportunity like this or just the master class only
Why are people so afraid to name their host agency in the comments section - is it a Sin or against the Law? !
I’ve noticed people really keep it hush hush lol
A lot of them seem to be part of the MLM groups.
Ok I thought it was just me but I’ve def noticed the same
@@chadtaylor1725explains a lot
@@chadtaylor1725how will one be able to differentiate when choosing a host agency?
any ideas for a good travel agency ? I would greatly appreciate it. thank you.
We would recommend using our Selecting a Reputable Host guide when you are in the process of selecting a host. www.careersonvacation.com/freegift. In addition to this, Host Agency Reviews is a great resource to learn more about each option and help you avoid selecting the wrong one.
What would be your best advice for getting out of the MLM model? I just started a month ago and I already know I want out.
I would love to learn more about the hybrid approach. To help as I transition into this career. I have worked out my long term plan, I’ve completed Ashford school, and I’m researching host.
Beth, Our Free Masterclass was just updated with this info. Enjoy. 🙂
I love my host agency, we are one of the top selling agencies in the industry 🏝️
Which one?
@@Youshouldstfu123 you can DM me 🏝️
@@aprilsonnenberg6412 do you recommend your host agency
@@eddyrLaw Absolutely, sorry I did not see this till now feel free to private message me
Which agency?
Hosting is sort of a franchise owner?
I LOVE my host agency!!! We get commissions back on our travel and get paid great! IT just makes sense!
What is your host agency? Looking to starting
Hi, what is your host agency? Thanks
Host agency??
Hey what’s your agency?
Taylor Moskol can you share?
I think working with a consolidator is much better and more professional? what is your opinion? They have more prices and deals with a wider range of airlines, cruises, and hotels.
Hi There,
It really depends on what you are looking for. Some suppliers offer specific things for certain niches but consolidators do make it easy to have everything in one spot.
Hi Cyndi what do you think about Avoya travel as a host agency?
Did you go for it?
Should I become a travel agent or promote travel for other companies as an affiliate??
I think that depends on your goals, and what you're passionate about. Check out the masterclass which will help you decide if getting into the industry is right for you, and then it breaks down the different options new agents can consider for starting. Best of luck!
Thanks for the Info. I have been looking for years and trying to figure out how to get in this business. Just got hit up by an MLM and needed to check before I jumped into something I regretted. Kind of heartbroken again that its just kind of another scam like program. I have contacted other Agencies for jobs and turned down. I have started to work on my own Travel plans and figure them out myself and have done quit a bit of traveling. Just wish this was easier. I am so eager to do this and get heartbroken every time with another let down. Thanks for the info and if you have any help you could give me to get into a Travel agency that would be so Great!

Hi Cindy thanks! Can you recommend any good host travel Agency?
Hi Sol,
I can tell you about a very good one.
Can somebody give me an good travel agent host 😭 I’m new to this nd want to make a good choice
I can’t find the free gift that shows the host agencies that are good and bad. Please send the link thank you
I was thinking of going with Evolution travel but so far the person who recruited me shows lack of interest in my questions and is only concerned with me signing up a few red flags so I’m currently in the research phase
Hi. Hmm. I’m with them for 6 years. I love it. You can message me on fb as I can get you in contact with someone to speak too :)
Same same any updates on this? Want to make sure they are legit
I just did a zoom meeting with a archer travel partnered with evolution and she was passionate kind and loved her job. She said I'd get to talk to her for every concern I have to get started so I am on the fence. I googled if they are mlm and it said yes but I'm not sure
Is it a big risk to start as tour operator directly focusing in certain 1 or 2 destinations and few suppliers to create few packages for mass tourism than become a travel agency?
I’m a travel agent under the host agency and I picked only two destinations. And it works great so far! It is hard to be an expert in everything but when you focus on something particular, you become very knowledgeable in that area
Ty would you speak on my post as an expert ,?
Hey what about planNet
PlanNet Marketing is the marketing partner for the travel agency that sells travel that is not a MLM. The travel agency sells travel over 30 years in the travel business. .
I’m new been in law enforcement and the military for the last 30 years but have a passion for traveling the world and sharing with everyone why they should go to. Love smiles and memories and a passion for still helping people without the violence associated with my pst career very interested in careersonvacation thanks for the info very helpful almost got suckered into a MLM you saved me!!! 🙏🏼

Hello, like @JeffreyLee72, I've been in the same field going on 17 years now. I have a passion for helping people and traveling as well. I want to be a travel agent, but I want to do it the right way and build it properly from the ground up. I came across your video, and you seem professional, sincere, and very knowledgeable about your craft. I will be taking your class, and I look forward to speaking with one of your representatives.
I’m trying to sign up for Evolution . How I figure out which one is good company to contract??
Hi Rie! It really depends on you and your business goals! If you schedule a Discovery Call with out team, we would love to answer any questions you might have. www.careersonvacation.com/readynow
This video is so good and helpful. Please I am a Nigerian and I reside in Abuja, Nigeria. I want to become a Travel Advisor. How do I start the training with career on Vacation? What are the requirements and how long does it take to complete the training?
Please I need an urgent response ❤❤
We currently work within the US and Canada! You can still so much helpful information from our you tube and other social media pages!
is Evolution travels an mlm ?
Yes it is. You can use hostagencyreviews.com to review various host options and once you narrow it down to a few you can use our host agency selection guide to pick the best option for you. www.careersonvacation.com/freegift
What are the best host agencies for somebody that's brand new to the industry? I don't even know what are the most credible courses for me to invest in. I've been researching like crazy. Could anybody offer me any guidance, tips, and advice? Open to any suggestions and your feedback's genuinely appreciated. Thank you for reading up to here. Much love to you & Take care of yourself!
Hi Olivia,
I know a really good one.
@@signer7778 need information too
Signer 77 please share? Thank you!
There are many. No “best”
Go with what fits you :)
I’ve been in mine for 6 years. I’m in fb too
I am starting with a hosting agency as I merge the passion for travel and entrepreneurship into my business! Soul Retreat 😊🎉❤
Does a host agency reveal that they are a host agency while attending their seminars? or do I have to discover that on my own if I ask the company what particular agency they are? I’m stuck in a agency and I wasn’t informed when I signed up that I was supposed to give a 60% split on my commissions I want a refund from them now🥺
60% split. Eek. I hope you found what you are looking for. I’m with a host for 6 years full time. Ours is 80% plus! I’m on FB too :)
Min should be 70/30 split. Cut your losses and leave asap. Thats so not cool
Cyndi have you heard anything about BWJ Travel?... they are a host, and I'm trying to know about them to see if I can work with them... thanks!!!
Hi There! Unfortunately, I have not heard of BWJ so I can't give you much feedback. All I can say is make sure you are asking the right questions in the interview process. Things like: MLM? Commission split? Contract details, etc. I hope that helps!
@@wanderlustceo thank you for your answer...
What kind of commission is a TA making when selling cruises if working with a host agency?
Hi Crystal! Great question. First thing to know is if you are with a host, you will have a commission split. Usually 80/20 or 90/10 depending on your host. From the cruises you usually make commission of anywhere between 10%-15% depending on the cruise line. For example if you have an 80/20 commission split with your host & you sell a cruise to a family for 10K & the commission from the cruise line is 10%, then you would make $800. Most travel agents charge a fee as well! I hope that helps!
I need some help! So i just did a zoom meeting with an Archer travel services mentor and now im scared that it is a mlm after a few google searches. Does anyone know anything about them or does anyone know hosts that arent mslm and they are hybrid they work with evolution travel

Do you work with people in the UK?
Yes we do!
Which is your host travel??
Are they any host agents that accepts travel agent outside of u.s and canada?
You would have to search for a host agency in the country you reside in as they would have to follow the rules & guidelines of that country. Some of the guidelines may differ from the US & Canada host agencies.
Iam a new travel agent its been really hard to get sales even after putting up social media website, fb etc and also recently listed the business on a host agency bokun but still zero outcome i really want to know that iam not doing to get sales 😢

Yes i am in an MLM travel agency now. I want to leave and its their policy that if I leave then Ill lose my commission. So wrong.
So sorry to hear!
Hi really am ready to start booking for my client but i really need to find a host to grow my business can someone help me I need a host
Check out Archer/Evolution Travel 🫶🏻
Can you be with a host and still use your own business name?
Hi Rita! Great question. It depends on which host you decide to join. Some hosts will allow you to use your own business name & others will make you use the host name. It really varies from host to host.
Can you work under several host companies
Hi Heidi,
No, you cannot work under multiple host agencies. You would only need to work under one host to start booking travel.
By any chance are you still emailing the free gift? I filled out my information last night and haven’t received it yet. Thank you
Hi Heidi! If you filled out the form, you should have received it via your email. I would suggest checking your spam/junk folder as sometimes it gets sent there. If you have any issues, you can reach out to kalli@wanderlust-ceo.com & she can assist you!
@@wanderlustceo thank you I got it
Are you still in the business?
Yes ma'am!
There really no money in this profession anymore i got out after 10 years
Ok guys who the hell is that one person that hit the dislike button
The hosts that are bad hosts🤣
I'm watching this four months later, still only 1 dislike.
Anyone got a legit hosting company that can be verified?
Hi There,
In our program, we have multiple host agencies we work closely with. I would encourage you to schedule a Discovery Call with our team to chat more: www.careersonvacation.com/readynow
