Five months in here is an open and honest review of Outside Agents . 1. Access to vendors: 5 out of 5 2. Technology: 3 3. Support: 4 4. Price: 5 5. Value: 4 6. Overall Impression: 4 Access to vendors; With TLN as its consortium, almost all the vendors are there at good commission point. If they aren't, they've negotiated with OA so you're clear. Technology: Slow loading is its main issue. The other big one is customization of website. I had a website review done by the Small Business Council of Wyoming. It was a nightmare report, and none of it was fixable by me. Everything is locked down on the homepage, and the header cannot be customized. Metadata is not accessible, so SEO cannot be completed. Support: When it can be fixed, they fix it. If it can't be, well, support goes out the door. Main issue: My webpage throws a "Bad Gateway" error on Firefox. The solution: Use Chrome. Great for me, but what about my clients? Price: $51 a month for two agents (my partner and me). No setup fees. Includes your E&O as well. You can also go in for $21, but that doesn't include customizing your website. (See above before you count that as a minus) Value: Get the website issues fixed, and this goes to a 5. You get more than you pay for as is right now. Overall Impression: Outside Agents is great if you're not looking to do an elaborate website. It's low entry price makes joining affordable. It has great vendor training and good business training.

The support I receive from Andavo Travel as a new advisor to their host agency is tremendous! So far I've worked with their marketing, social media and IT departments. Every person has the patience of a saint. And ... very knowledgeable. Best move I could have made when I started this venture.
