Question 1

How would you explain the difference between a consortium & a franchise to a new agent?

Accepted Answer

Yes, two different types of business models. I consider our consortium division more of an ala carte program. We offer many different programs and each agency can pick and use the programs that benefit them. Our agency members are diverse in their business models and have many different needs. As the previous answer says, there are many things you must use with a Franchise, and with a Consortium, you have much more leeway to use what works and not use what is not needed.  We have both leisure and corporate tools, not every agency sells both, but both types of agencies can benefit from many of our programs.

Question 2

When a client contacts me through Travel Leaders which would be the best way to contact them back?

Accepted Answer

Clients do not contact Travel Leaders Network directly. Everything we do, is designed for consumers to contact the agents directly. Our lead generation program, directs potential client to contact our agents directly. Mike Migliore, Director, Sales

Question 3

How do I send one mailing with all current cruise deals to my clients each month?

Accepted Answer

We have an email and direct mail marketing program that sends specials all year long. We customize and target the right client for the right type of travel. It is easy to set up and then it continues all year long. Give us a call to go over all of the details. Mike Migliore, Director Sales

Question 4

How to keep from getting over whelmed with so much training just to give different clients what they want?

Accepted Answer

Travel Leaders Network has an extensive training program that allows agents to focus on their specific specialties and niche. Our training is designed for  newer agents all the way thru to the most experienced agents. Give us a call for more details and examples. Mike Migliore, Director Sales

Question 5

Who do you consider to be an "experienced agent," and what would a new agent have to do to join this category?

Accepted Answer

An agency would need to be in business at least 1 year. Prior travel agency experience may be considered on a case by case basis. We are not a host agency, we are travel agency consortium. The agency joins, not the individual agent. All agents in the travel agency would have access to our programs and benefits. Mike Migliore

Question 6

I see you have a sales requirement, is this required in the beginning or is it an annual requirement?

Accepted Answer

we are a travel agency consortium. We are not a host agency. We do have minimum requirements for a travel agency to join us. They must maintain these minimums each year. Thanks for your interest, Mike Migliore
