I have been with this consortia for over 10 years . They are very vested in your growth and are available when you need assistance.
I have been a NEST member since 2008 and have been Elite since 2011. NEST has helped me move my agency to the next level. From the support, marketing and relationships I’ve gained - to the friendships made -- it was the best choice I made for my business. I love that I kept my connections and local BDMs, but also received national support. I would recommend NEST to any home-based agency wanting to invest in their business.
My first words about my relationship with NEST is one of gratitude. When we first opened our agency, we were making our business plan and some of our go-to points were: earn more commission, have marketing possibilities, have training options, have more travel partner relationships....back in 2000 being home based was NOT the norm. Literally, days after I had this conversation, I received an email inviting me to a luncheon...one of the presenters was NEST!
It was as if they had been in my office listening to our goals and needs.
I signed on immediately and have never looked back. Like AMG always innovating and looking forward!
I have been an original member of NEST since their inception. The best business move ever. Rosemary and Wayne are incredible to work with.
NEST and AMG as a whole is my business family. Thank you for everything!
One of the first and best decisions I made when opening our agency is to sign up with NEST. Wayne and RoseMary are professional, caring and will do anything for us to help us to grow our business. We have been with them for 11 years with the agency I own and was with them for 10 years before that when working with another agency. This is not a big conglomerate! This is a family owned business where they know who you are. You are not greeted with handshakes and how are yous. You are greeted with hugs and How is (your family member). I regularly get just checking in calls.
as far as vendor partners, they partner with the best in the business and have a new DMC program that makes it easy to do business anywhere in the world with preferred suppliers and partners.
If you are considering NEST, stop considering and just do it. There is not enough space here for me to write all the reasons why. the biggest one is that they are not just a consortia. They treat their employees and their members like family and they have for 50+ years.

NEST has truly been the backbone and support of my home based business. The BDM's Rosemary Sarkis and Wayne Spector are always there for support with quick responses. The web page is truly phenomenal and offers so much information and support from Vendors. I would definitely recommend NEST to any new or existing home based agency. NEST always has the home based industry in mind and again their support is amazing. Unlike some other consortia's, NEST is truly focused on just the home based travel agent community. Thank you so much Rosemary and Wayne for your continued support to helping me to be a better agency
