When we started PTN Travel, we wanted to create a host agency whose support for our luxury advisors goes beyond the education and community aspects (which are core principles for us) - we wanted the financial support as well.

That’s why every advisor who joins PTN starts at a 90% commission split.

From day one.

Why 90% - and why from the start?

But why do this? Why is this important?

Luxury travel is a high-effort niche. Between the hours spent crafting tailored, concierge-level experiences for clients, deepening relationships with Virtuoso properties and suppliers, and building a business to match, that level of work deserves proper compensation.

Many host agencies require specific sales thresholds or milestones before they offer higher-end commission splits. Starting commission splits may be 70/30 (or lower), with the 90/10 reserved only for those who are really pushing the sales of their businesses. While this lower split (which can come with a lower payment to the host agency) may seem enticing to start with for new advisors, there are some important things that happen with a split this low:

You’re leaving money on the table every single booking.
Less money coming back to you means less money to reinvest in marketing, training, or expanding your brand.
You’re working harder for a company’s profit margin rather than your own.

It gets even more extreme when you consider the luxury space. A 20% difference in commission can mean thousands of dollars lost per client - money that could be reinvested, or taken home as well-earned profit.

Being a luxury travel advisor already has its many challenges, and advisors deserve a host that truly values their expertise and empowers them to scale quickly. That’s why at PTN, we believe that you deserve to benefit from your own success.

Right from the start.

What does starting at 90% actually mean?

90% isn’t just for our high-end producers.

It’s our baseline for every advisor.

When you start with 90%, you’re getting the confidence that you’re taking home what you deserve with every booking. You don’t need to worry about hitting long-term goals to make that split.

Plus, you’re not giving anything up! You’re still receiving…

Virtuoso advisor status from day one (another thing we don’t gatekeep)
A full range of live support and training
A connected, advisor-first community
Top of the line backend technology
Active connection and support from PTN Leadership

…all without sacrificing 30-40% of your commission to get it.

You’re doing the work. You’re building the relationships. You’re offering that white-glove, concierge service to clients that sets you apart. Shouldn’t your earnings reflect that?

With PTN, You’re in Control

We started PTN Travel to do things differently, and to create a space for the modern day travel advisor. You should be able to grow, scale, and thrive in your business without having to struggle against the host that should be supporting you.

That’s why we chose the 90%. It’s about trusting you to run your agency and giving you that foundational support to succeed in a luxury environment - from day one.

You bring the expertise, and we’ll make sure you’re compensated for it - it’s that simple!
