Can’t beleve how it hit exactly where I am now means Stuck with other compagne who gave you a fast account and a Signal group where everyone is spreading their commission, asking thousand different questions which get me lost as I had no prior training and I was supposed to figure out every year self on a training booklet, it’s just overlwhelming and never got to do nothing dispitr the 40 dollars taking out of my account every months. So thanks for this video and hope will navigate your platform and start a proper business with yours

[@crsmith845]

Thank you for your Amazing videos

[@laurelwhitney8159]

Informative

[@wanderlustceo]

That's the goal

[@leegann4869]

5 so far got another one coming up in October

[@jaybenjamin5649]

I didn’t realise travel agents still exist I thought since you can book directly from an airline and book hotels yourself that there would be no need for this

[@evelynocasio41]

It's been complicated and I am trying to learn

[@wanderlustceo]

You got this

[@jakechambers5862]

Ok so I understand that you make money through commission upon people booking holiday packages and extras ect. But where are people finding my prodcuts? Why would someone rather buy my stuff rather than say "on the beach" also where is my product coming from? Do i need to make a website? How do i compete with large holiday providers where you just pick your holiday then pay for it ect. I hope someone understands my question

[@wanderlustceo]

Hi Jake! Thanks for your question. When you are a travel agent, you book through suppliers which have hotels, excursions, tours etc. These are specifically travel agent websites that can give you many options/deals etc. Travel agents bring a lot of value to the table. The reason why clients should use travel agents rather than booking online is because travel agents will make everything work smoothly, get on the calls if anything goes wrong (sometimes wait times up to 3 hours), and take care of anything needed so their trip is stress free. I hope that helps!

[@ryanoddo1418]

Do travel agents ever charge the client directly for all of the planning and customer service?

[@wanderlustceo]

Hi Ryan! Great question! If a travel agent is charging a planning fee, they will charge it though the agency and then the agency will pay it out in their paychecks. For legal reasons, you would have to do it through your host. If you are independent and own the agency, then yes you would charge directly.

[@perfectsecretary8367]

Very interesting.

[@naz6287]

Very helpful

[@dukecolby1419]

What do you think about becoming a travel agent as a second career

[@wanderlustceo]

Sure! Lots of people do that, of they start small then grow it larger later.

[@superstragent]

2-3 travel, more if my budget allows

[@wseam1]

What cruiselines are paying 16-18%? I can name like 2 off the top of my head but honestly that seems like a pretty generous figure for (ocean) cruiselines, especially taking NCF's into account.

[@beatsbyvince4594]

I'm trying to understand how to start being a agent?

[@ElizabethSampson]

This was very interesting! I always thought this would be a fun job!

[@wanderlustceo]

Glad you enjoyed it! It truly is.

[@lloyddodgen]

Amazing!!!

[@wanderlustceo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@anonymousg9374]

How to get all traval agents in usa

[@leslienelis301]

I take like 2 vacations a year, is this for me?

[@wanderlustceo]

It could be! You can make commissions off your own travel but if you get comfortable booking your own travel, you can book family & friends to start out with & move to a client base after that!

[@ade_kg]

Thanks ma'am

[@catherinevidal6326]

I have been thinking about becoming an agent for some time now but feel so lost, Have no idea where to start.

[@zzzz2346]

that’s how i’m feeling now! are you still trying? or did you get started with everything?

[@hunterwynn7818]

Hey Cyndi. I've seen places offer 80% commission. Is this too good to be true?

[@serkadisbamnew5880]

how do start

[@NourInTheKitchen]

Woow sounds like such a fun job to me :))

[@adbah1011]

520000 (five hundred twenty thousands) a year???? How did you calculate it please?? It does not make sense. I think it is 52000 (fifty two thousands). Please explain to me how you calculated the example of two $5000 per week vacation??

[@wanderlustceo]

If you sell 2 trips a week at $5,000 each, you would be selling $10,000 in travel a week. There are 52 weeks in a year so $10,000 x 52 weeks is $520,000 in total sales. If you take 10% of that, it is $52,000 in commission.

[@tvdandslotat]

I take 5 vacations a year!

[@littleonessurprise5932]

Do you also book trips for Delhi,India?

[@tourexegypt]

hi im looking to be travel agent in egypt how i can start i have website for excursions in egypt pls try to help me thanks

[@omari7877]

How much can you make booking your own travel?

[@wanderlustceo]

Hi Omari! It depends on how much you travel, where you travel to, etc. Usually you can make 10-12% commission so if you book your family a trip and it is $6,000 then you would get about $600 back.

[@ninameas5393]

3 or 4 times a year

[@ukihill6505]

If iam selling flight ticket of 200$ in 400$. On coll. Is it scam???????

[@fahibashantona5828]

Your convincing me more and more to pack my bags and leave

[@jackiecline775]

2 to 3

[@Elena-in2zq]

But how many travel agent really sell 4 trips a week? For 20000$? Maybe I am a little pessimistic but are there real agents here who can give the info from their point? It is just sound too good to be true.

[@wanderlustceo]

Hi Elena! It is definitely doable! It depends on a lot of factors in how a travel business is run but it can be done. I totally understand where you are coming from- not every week is going to be big sales but if you are getting leads, that gives you a foot in the door. Opportunity awaits!

[@christiancabatay5793]

I have a zoom meeting tommorow. I hope I pass tommorow.

[@livinginbabcockranchflorida]

What do the best travel agents make?

[@wanderlustceo]

Hi There, It depends on what kind of work load the travel agent is wanting to take on, how big the groups are and the budgets of the clients. You could have 10 clients and you could be making the same as someone who only has 5 but with bigger budgets, bigger groups, etc. I hope that helps!
