OutsideAgents.com is simply the best...and free. It doesn't matter if one is a newbie and highly experienced top producer, OutsideAgents.com is the host to choose. Agents deal directly with the owners who are a 'force' in the travel industry, yet so accessible and down-to-earth. They are a 'real' host agency--not a card mill, pyramid, or scam--and they encourage, support, and support travel agents being just as real. They don't play around with agents' money and/or bookings, and truly want agents to succeed so provide what's necessary for that to happen. Initial agent/host split is highest I yet found, and can go higher. They are great support--even for those agents wanting to branch out on their own--and operate in integrity. They totally support branding one's own business. They supply so many tools for agents excel and the agents' community is a yummy-plus plethora of knowledge where one interacts with other agents and another source of vast information and knowledge. Newbies are welcomed, assisted, and no questions are stupid. It's a good feel. No start-up, monthly, or annual fees; marketing and leads support, consumer website, on-going training and support, a growing network of real travel agents, vendors, suppliers...I can't say enough good things about OutsideAgents.com. It just keeps getting better and better, and I wish I'd found them way-back-when. Simply the best...Oh, and did I mention they're free?

The BEST I've found! I've been working with this agency for just a few months and they excel above and beyond any previous host agency I've used in the past. The support they offer, both online and live, is better than anything I have found elsewhere. These folks really do care if you succeed as an independent agent. Oh, and you just can't beat that "No Cost to Join Fee!" These guys are the BEST!

Outside Agents is a great host. I came to them about 3 years ago after having been burnt by a very unreputable host agency. I found Outside Agents to be awesome! They offer training weekly, offer a website for a minimal fee, support is readily available either by the main office or by fellow agents through the forum. They also pay on time which is the most important thing. They've been around a long time in the industry so they must be doing something right, plus they keep evolving and making their host agency better by giving us more tools to help us succeed.

I have heard some horror stories about other host agencies and have experienced one on my own. So I know that Outside Agents is one of the best, if not the best you'll find. Did I mention it's free to sign up?

I have been very impressed with OutsideAgents.com (Cruises Unlimited) as a host agency. I have had my own agency for 10 years and have been a travel agent for 25 years. As our industry changes, we must change to remain successful.

I like to sell all kinds of trips and it is great to have a host agency with top tier commissions with almost every single reputable tour/cruise company. I signed up with OutsideAgents.com (Cruises Unlimited) over a year ago and have been very happy with my decision! I use OutsideAgents.com (Cruises Unlimited) IATA for all the bookings I do with cruises or tour operators that I do not book often enough to make more than the minimum commission. I make more money!!!

Plus, OutsideAgents.com (Cruises Unlimited) has some great group cruise rates available on many cruises. My clients are always impressed that I can offer them lower rates and more amenities than they can get direct with the cruise line.

The staff at OutsideAgents.com (Cruises Unlimited) is friendly, helpful and professional. I have never had a hard time getting help or an answer to a question. They go above and beyond to help their agents be successful.

I have been working with this agency for the past six months and I think it was a GREAT decision to join forces with them. If you are an independent agent and are not clearing $30K or more a year,you are spinning your wheels -- you need the boost of a host agency. They do not charge you ANYTHING and give you top commission share! They pay for all the CLIA, etc that eats away at your profits. I highly recommend Outsideagents.com. Steve is ALWAYS available to answer your questions, and they offer so many assets to help you succeed; plus a chatline with your peers.

Excellent family owned host agency! They are real people whom you can talk to at any time. Their lines of communication are open consistently, as they are always willing to help. This host agency's profile allows you the freedom of being independent and branding your travel business. There are no bars to you getting to know your Business Development Managers and building your own working relationships with them. Training opportunities are limitless and offered daily, you need only call in to participate. No red tape or go between in all the accesses needed to be a true travel business owner. This host definitely lives up to and exceeds it's reputation.

When someone on a ship inspection about 4 years ago told me about a host agency that has no start-up fees, no contracts, I was in disbelief being with two other hosts that I had paid out $495 and $295 respectively, and didn't have the support, etc.
Well glad to say I called towards the end of my contract with the other host, and figured I had nothing to
lose and has been the best experience for the past three years. This host has integrity, and stands behind what is promised. The owners and the staff or most helpful...I often wonder how they have time
to get back to us within 24 hrs at tops, and sometimes can catch them on a first try...in emergencies, we
even have their cell phones. They truly are amazing to work with. We have direct deposits and get paid in a most timely manner...many times ahead of the scheduled middle of the month. We have a forum for our agents which I believe is over 3,000 and growing, where we can get help 24/7.
I highly recommend them.

This is my second year with Outside Agents, and I cannot say enough good things about them. I was a complete rooky when I started and the support and resources they offer are amazing. With no start-up fees and great commission splits it was a no brainer for me. They even contacted me about a $300 commission that I had missed.!

If you are looking to get started in the industry or just need a great resource to back up an existing business, I would highly recommend Outside Agents.

I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of Outside Agents.com. I was previously with another host agency and transferred to Outside Agents about 2 yrs. ago. Steve and Chad, the owners of the company, are wonderful and make themselves available to help you in any way they can.

They also have a Forum on the website which is a tremendous help. We can submit a question or request for help and other agents are more than happy to help each other.

If you are looking for a host agency, I would highly recommend them.

I would give them 5 stars.
