Definitely helped 🎉

[@jessicanarweh1727]

I loooove your videos! Thinking about starting out and your videos are so helpful, thank you ❤

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

You're so welcome!

[@kristinabielemeier5624]

Thank you so much for actual information and specific things to look for, plan for, and to do when starting a travel agency! SO many people/videos out there claim to offer information, but actually don't offer anything specific. I'm looking to become a travel agent in the next 6 months or so. I greatly appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ericmiller7751]

I've decided to give Outside Agents a go. Thanks to you! I am going to specialize in cruising.

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

Hey I wanted to check in and see how are things going since you signed up!?

[@ericmiller7751]

@The Travel Babe CEO HI 👋🏽. So far, so good. Trying to maneuver through everything. Got the website up, completed all of the training modules, completed RC University, Carnival University, and am currently working on NCL. I need to go back to some of your videos for more tips 😁. Thanks for checking up on me.

Love cognitoforms & canva. Who’s your host agency? Did I miss it? Leaning towards OA

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

I started with OA

[@lakieshalewis3172]

Good morning, I love watching your videos. can you post the link to the two people you followed starting out. I also watch Cyndi Williams but I can't find the other person.

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

I don’t have any links but Cyndi Williams does a fantastic job sharing knowledge and I also followed AskShanterria on instagram. I may have spelled her name wrong. Good luck!

[@Beautynabundle]

Great info

[@sandsationaltravelbychrist4121]

I took careers on vacation. I am not sure I would recommend her course. I think looking back, If I had a do over, i would've figured out another way to get my education. Plus they are constantly trying to sell you stuff.

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

Thank you for your insight!

[@tayikoodream5486]

Thank you! I was really debating on doing this course but I think I'll keep doing my research first.

[@sandsationaltravelbychrist4121]

@tayikoo dream you're welcome!

[@ericmiller7751]

I had to have a deep conversation with myself before dropping almost 6k. I think having a host is a great way to get your feet wet.

[@sandsationaltravelbychrist4121]

@@ericmiller7751 I very much agree.

Once signing up for OA, are you able to use the agency’s credential to get immediate discounts on booking your own travel?

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

Yes when booking direct with the hotel if they offer a travel agent program.

[@allisonmartinez9741]

Once you sign up with a host agency are you required to book solely through them? Or can you plan a trip for someone not using the agency’s suppliers and charge them the planning fee and not run it through them?

[@KlassheyTheCEO]

You can typically use whatever supplier you like but you book using the host agency credentials, different host have different rules pertaining to mark ups and fees so you would have to read your host contract
