Narrowing Niche? TA Discounts? Customer Support? Air/Car Rentals Worth Low Commissions?


Shayna Zand and Steph join forces with Lori Speers to host this week's Friday 15. Lori's host agency is Levarte Travel and you can check out their HAR profile HERE!  our co-host! Also, we have a veritable barrage of questions this week, which you can read below, and then come and join us 12 pm CST for the podcast.


Don't forget that you can submit questions and sign up for reminders for the F15 here!


1.   Why is it so hard to narrow down a host on a general niche (like Mexico AIs)? 


2.    What's the deal with TA discounts being earned + you not usually being able to tap into them until you reach certain sales levels? 


3.    Why don't TAs necessarily have access to exclusive discounts for trips for their clients?


4.    What about after hours support for traveling clients not being on the host side, but rather the supplier's?


5.    Are air/car rentals maybe worth my time due to low commissions?
