Archer Travel Group

Bad company will not refund my monthly payment I paid. They're misleading in saying they give you marketing when they don't. I will file a complaint to the BBB and let people know on facebook. I would not go with this company as agent or a travel customer. They mislead on what an agent gets when they sign up and then don't want to refund the monthly payment.

I joined Archer knowing it was an MLM but being assured that I didn't have to participate in the team building and that the training was very good. Needless to say, I was lied to. They didn't bug me about team building, but the training is awful. The "travel agent certification" took me about an hour, I heard nothing about duty of care until I found it on my own months later, when I had issues logging into suppliers or needed guidance, the answer was usually some sort of go read the directions. Early on I had an issue with returning rental cars to a different destination on VAX. When I asked how to do this, I got no guidance. Turned out to be a simple fix of choosing the rental company before choosing the return location. After the ridiculous "certification", I was told to just start registering with suppliers. No guidance on where to start or which would be the most useful. Find a niche was the only response when I asked. How do you do that when you know next to nothing about the industry? How do I find that niche? Silence. There are lots of webinars from suppliers and destination tourist boards, but nothing about ethics, business development, how to market was essentially ‘post on Facebook’. The problem is that Evolution puts team building before actual travel, so even if you are on a team that does want to book, they aren’t given the resources or support. No one, from my mentor (who was also my good friend) to my up-line, ever checked to see how I was managing, what I needed, or how I was progressing. I did most of my training from other sources on my own. Archer didn’t allow us to use most of the tools in Travel Leaders, which is unfortunate because that was the best tool I received. TLN’s training helped me a lot. Recently, my mentor passed away with clients still needing help. I stepped up to help finish the trips after being asked. Unfortunately, other personal circumstances meant that I also needed to change hosts. Instead of allowing me to administer the trips and keeping the bookings at Archer, they got very nasty with me. Archer did nothing to help all but one of the clients. No one contacted the clients even after one client contacted them about how to proceed. After joining my new host, I was shocked at how much more support I got. The Facebook group is so much more active with suggestions on suppliers, destinations, hotels, info from fam trips, and much more. Archer does not support its agents past the monthly fee and they won’t support clients when something goes wrong. I made a mistake in believing the lies from Archer agents so you don’t have to. Don’t waste your money, time, or integrity with Archer.

AH-Maz-Ing! The freedom this company has provided is phenomenal! I worked in corporate America for almost 30 years and lost my 25-year career due to COVID - they closed our local office and eliminated my position.

The atmosphere, support, perks, training, and friendships I've found here are like nothing I've ever experienced. Everyone wants everyone to succeed and it really shows considering most of the training is done by volunteers - they're not getting paid extra for sharing their knowledge with us! I earn 80% of all paid-out commissions, I've earned my IATAN card, I've earned free cruises, and discounted hotel rates, I've even joined the OPTIONAL mentorship program (the "hybrid" MLM model) and earn residual income every month by sharing this opportunity with others.

The best part? I get to stay home and work at my own pace, and I don't have to put my kid on a bus every morning so that I can drive to an office and work 8 hours and ask for permission to use my earned vacation time.

The other great thing about this - you can come in and try it out risk-free - they actually offer a 10-day money-back guarantee. Come in, get your certification, and try out some of the training, if within the first 10 days - you don't feel the opportunity is right for you, cancel and get your full refund.

The review offered here by Host Agency Reviews, is actually pretty inaccurate of what Archer Travel offers its agents. First, this is not an MLM and in no way are you required to mentor or recruit agents. Second, there are way more than 2-3 trainings offered a week. There are at least 5-6 a day which include everything from marketing your business, supplier trainings, sales trainings, and more. They will also sign on agents with little to no experience. The thing that most people do not understand, is this is a business opportunity and not a job. If you do not put work into finding your clients, you will not find them. Archer fully provides training to help you learn how to do this. Yes, there is an opportunity to mentor other agents and earn residual from that. However, it’s not an easy process and if those are are not booking and making commission, you don’t make anything from them either. Archer’s commission payout is 80% to the agent. 10% goes to Archer and 10% the to mentor. You can only make money off your direct downline, which separates this from an MLM.

I joined Archer Travel after COVID forced the closer of my 23 year old Permit Expediting company. When I heard about the option to work in travel I got pretty excited. My wife and I have traveled all over the world and the thought of doing it and making money was intrigued. So I started looking at all the different agencies listed on the website. I spent a lot of time reading reviews, talking with other agents and comparing the pros and cons of each company. There really was no question of which one to choose. Archer Travel pays the highest commissions in the industry, they are considered a favorite of all the major travel vendors in the Industry. There was no cost to become certified, no cost for training and I could get my CLIA card as soon as I become certified. They also allowed me to get my IATAN Card after only making $5000 in commission. No other agency can make these claims. Do you know how easy it is to make $5000 in commission when you are getting 80% of the paid commissions? I did it my first month. Their support is unlike anything I have experienced. As far as your claim goes, they are no where close to being an MLM, the first two words of an MLM are Multi Level. Where do you see that in this company? We get paid to mentor others and that comes from a profit pool much like the airline industry but, we get paid monthly instead of annually. I have owned 2 very successful companies in my lifetime and if I knew then what I know now, I would have done this a long time ago.

3 years ago, I started as a travel agent affiliated with Archer Travel, and through all this time I have been able to gain a lot of experience, it works for me because I was an absent mother working in the office and with my home based business, I can be a present mother, Thanks to the business model that Archer gives us, it has been able to change my life in many ways! I'm really thankful that Archer is my host agency!

I have only been working with Archer for 4 months and it has been full of learning, support and achievements. I started without any experience as a travel agent and since the first day I had all the support and guidance. I have managed to sell without doubting my ability and now more than ever I am sure that I have made the best decision by working with Archer.

Desde hace 2 años me inscribi con la mejor agencia, he tenido una experencia maravillosa contamos con muchos proovedores, las comisiones son provechosas y tenemos muchas oportunidades de crecimiento, hemos tenido muchos fam trips de reconomiento para darles a los clientes una experiencia maravillosa

Archer has been an opportunity to turn one of my passions into a source of income, I love the team and the way they incorporate you into the dynamic of learning and developing skills. The training is constant and I must say that the information is always being updated. The main concern is that you have tools to sell and meet the expectations of clients and the work team.

I have been working with Archer since last year. We have support from all the agents in addition to being certified with many suppliers. Besides that I have learned a lot from various destinations.
Due to its seriousness I have managed to position my travel agency.
I am very proud to belong to this host company
