The Travel Agent Next Door

I have been with The Travel Agent Next Door six months and I am so proud to be a part of this team!
The support from this host agency, it's staff and fellow agents are exceptional in there support and friendship. Some points that influenced my decision:
The communication with the founder and office support.
You succeed they succeed, believing in your dream!
The added value, marketing, social media, flexibility , openness to new ideas, higher commission, I could go on but ultimately you need to find the best fit for you and do consider this host agency . There is no pressure to join. I look forward to growing with "The Travel Agent Next Door"

Prior to switching to TheTravelAgentNextDoor, I worked with two franchises of a cruise-focussed agency. The difference is high noon versus the deepest dark of the night. The attitude of total support to agents pervades everything that this agency HQ does and the Flemming/Penny team seems to bring out the best for us, the agents. There is a very collaborative approach to problem solving and decision making which can be almost shocking, depending on your previous work experience.

The recent TTAND conference I attended affirmed my earlier satisfaction generated by working with people who truly put their money (and all other resources) where their mouth is. I will stay with TTAND for as long as I am in the travel industry.

I have been with The Travel Agent Next Door since March 2015. I was with another company for a year prior. I can say with authority that the assistance and the communication is so far above average,it will never be surpassed.This company pays the best, offers assistance in every way promptly,provides ongoing learning opportunities and is concerned with each agents happiness and satisfaction before your bottom line. There is no pressure to do more than you are prepared for but help is always, always there.Come join and see for yourself.

I am new to The Travel Industry and so I don't have anything to really compare this company with but I feel very strongly that choosing The Travel Agent Next Door as a Host was a good decision. After completing my Travel Agency Operations Certification from Humber College I found that the only jobs I could get with no experience where at Bricks and Mortar agencies. I have young children and live far from any Travel agencies, I didn't want to work for a Bricks and Mortar agency. I choose to join the Travel Agent Next Doors New Agent Program. I was hesitant at first. There were many agencies to choose from. The new agent program was a large investment for me and Travel Agent Next Door a relatively new company (founded by trusted and experienced members of the travel industry). It's been almost 5 months and my business is doing fantastic. The Travel agent Next Door has fantastic and knowledgeable support, a marketing department has your best interests at heart, a fully bookable website included in your monthly fee and an unbeatable commission structure. If you are a new agent and considering training with a Host agency then you will not be disappointed with The Travel Agent Next Door.

The Travel Agent Next Door is my 4th travel agency since making the move into travel sales in 2004. From 1997 to 2003, I was the National Network Implementation Manager for a company that designed and installed computer networks into travel agencies throughout Canada. So when I say that I've had exposure to a great many travel agencies across Canada, you can be sure that I've seen a lot over the past 18 years.

The Travel Agent Next Door is different from any travel agency I have ever experienced. Foremost in their business operations is the agent comes first, and that trickles down to the support and service we can offer our clients. The TTAND team is all about helping agents grow their business. Our opinions are asked when making decisions that directly impact our ability to grow and service clients. We're treated as one big family, and never feel that top management is unapproachable. To the contrary, management gets excited when we come to them for help, advise, support, concerns or complaints.

TTAND is an encouraging atmosphere of mutual respect. As agents, I have witnessed an entire room stand up and applaud management for their tireless and kind dedication to their team. I've known what its like to feel continuous frustration with your host agency, and now, 100%, I know what it's like to feel important and appreciated. The Travel Agent Next Door is one host agency that is doing EVERYTHING RIGHT!

I've been a business owner over 30 years and in the Travel Industry over 10 years. The support and encouragement I receive from #TheTravelAgentNextDoor is beyond any support I've received before. My business is growing and will continue to. Problems/Issues with suppliers are handled immediately and I become the hero to my clients. TTAND asks for feedback and implements our ideas and everyone wins. We share amongst each other.

This is the Agency to be with... The Travel Agent Next Door provides me with all the tools necessary for success. I strongly recommend our company where you want outstanding support, better commissions thereby making a change that would positively impact your career and the vacation dreams of your clients....

I joined the Travel Agent Next Door just about a year ago, prior to this time I had worked as a Senior Travel Consultant and Travel Manager for a few Canadian Travel Companies based in Alberta and after my experience in working independently from home with the support of the Travel Agent Next Door I cannot imagine working in this industry in any other way but on my own. This would have never happened without the invaluable support and care of the team at The Travel Agent Next Door who has provided me with all the tools needed to be successful, I would highly recommend it to anyone in the Travel Industry looking to make a change that would positively impact your lives and the lives of your clients.

This is my third host agency in less than 5 years and I have finally found a great fit. The support from the team and fellow agents is tremendous, I wish they had been around when I was starting out in my travel entrepreneurship.

Having run my own business, I see the value in the tools and support they provide you with. All the comments about the team are spot-on, Flemming and all the staff at The Travel Agent Next Door are so insightful and supportive and the network of fellow agents are always willing to lend an ear and give advice. They give you everything you need to hit the ground running! I highly recommend them.

Having over 34 years experience with wholesale, retail and now home based with a host agency it has taken me to a new level of opportunity. I had been with two other host agencies and my hesitation in joining The Travel Agency Next Door was definitely obvious. But speaking with them and knowing that I could brand myself, yet have their support, made all the difference in the world.

So with out any hesitation I took the plunge and have now finally found my forever home..I have been with them over a year and to say that it has been awesome is to say the least.

They have some of the “top industry staff working” and their experience and knowledge has helped in many ways. You are never to old to learn in this business. They are always coming up with innovated ideas to make us up to date in the travel industry and give us the tools to make our businesses flourish.

They are giving some wonderful add ons like benefits, mentor program and telephone options.

I truly have to say that this has been one of the most fulfilling business decision I have ever made and I truly feel now that I am NOT ALONE…
