401 E. Las Olas Blvd, Suite 1400 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33301 I began my journey with Avoya about 6 months ago. The training was excellent. It is online so you can move at your own pace. There is live support every step of the way. The trainers have a great deal of expertise and are very patient. About five months ago I began with my first client. The excellent support continued with Avoya's Early Success program. They offer outstanding workshops conducted by experts in the field. Upon completion of their Early Success program, the support continues. With every question I've had or challenge I've encountered, the Avoya team has been there with timely responses. Their platform for booking and managing travel is excellent. It's user friendly! Lastly, I credit my success, over $900,000 is sales in less than 5 months time, with the training and support I've received from the Avoya team.
I joined Avoya Network because I had read so much positive feedback on the reviews. I spoke with 2 of their travel agents in depth and found they were both very happy as well. One has been with them for more than 5 years the other 1 year.
The support and encouragement I have received from this company is amazing. Great mentoring programs and I never felt like was left in the dark in the training process and when I started taking calls. Once I figured out my own systems to keep track of clients (they have a wonderful system you can keep track with, I just needed somewhere to keep all my correspondence, emails & phone conversations) it's been really very easy. When I have had a question, support is right there to answer them for me.
Would I recommend Avoya Travel???? YES!!!!! Best move I have ever made!
No negotiation in contract, just dropped and has not begun to refund me everything I gave them. Also, they send lots of emails on professional training and is a bit much.
I guess they don’t care I guess.
Michael,
Thank you for your feedback. We take all reviews and feedback very seriously in our efforts to continually improve the Avoya Travel Network™.
Independent Agencies in the Avoya Travel Network are among the most successful and most awarded independent travel agencies and everyone at Avoya is committed to their continued and growing success. We are grateful and proud that the growth of highly successful Independent Agencies joining the Avoya Network continues at record rates.
As you are aware Michael, we did not just ‘drop’ your agency but instead notified you in advance that we had decided not to renew the contract between Avoya and your independent agency. You also could have decided not to renew the agreement if the business relationship with Avoya was not profitable for you, or for any other reason.
Michael, we all invest time and money into our independent businesses with the expectation of a good return on investment (ROI), but clearly without a guarantee. That’s business. For example, Avoya invests millions on support, technology and marketing for Live Leads™ that we offer to Independent Agencies in the Avoya Network - for no additional charge - and we hope that enough leads are closed by Independent Agencies to provide us a reasonable return. We are all about Shared Success™.
If you would like me to setup a call with you to discuss your experience in detail, please contact me directly. We wish you all the best.

I love the great support that Avoya Travel offers to the Independent Agencies. The offer match system has excellent flexibility, and the support team answers fast. I've been affiliated with Avoya Travel for the past ten years. Thanks to the webinars, training and relevant promotions, my agency is Best of the Best each year since 2011
I used to work for Carlson Wagonlit back in the day. Being part of a large corporation had many perks. I feel like Avoya has the same perks on a large scale but the flexibility to work when and where I want. I feel the ability to log into my clients information whether on the side of the pool, skiing at the lodge and everything in between is AMAZING.
Avoya has so much more to offer than mere affiliation. From the Mastermind program, AP Back to the Basics Webinars, This Week on Sale, Ask the Pros, AP Q&A, Avoya Travel, Power Hour, Conference, and MM trips. My "affiliation" fee is worth so much more than just affiliation.
Avoya’s prominence in the industry gives them negotiating power with most of the large travel providers. This allows its home based independent agents to be competitive right from the get go. Avoya also offers support in a variety of forms including a Mastermind team that encourages and coaches as needed. I had traveled prior to my affiliation but I hadn’t worked in the industry at all and I felt confident from the start thanks to the tools Avoya offers. I would recommend Avoya to newbies as well as seasoned agents.
The support and education provided by Avoya is outstanding! I'm excited to attend the conference in June and the MasterMind program in September. The Live Leads are awesome, not all are good, but in what business is there only good leads. Looking forward to a long future with Avoya!
I was referred in by Philip Sherlock, an Independent Agent in the Avoya Network because of all the great things he told me about Avoya so that inspired me to join and return to my passion to sell travel. Now that I have joined, I’ve had an amazing experience and support from the Avoya team.
Avoya is a wonderful company to work for. Everyone is very knowledgeable. Avoya allows you to work at your own pace an offers all the training and support one may need or want. Thanks Avoya!

When I decided I wanted to start my own travel agency, I turned to host agency reviews and did extensive research. I started the recruiting process with Avoya Travel. I was impressed with the reviews and the fact that they are affiliated with American Express. Throughout the onboarding process, I became more and more impressed with what they had to offer.
Any time I had questions, my recruiter responded. At one point, the Vice President of the company called to welcome me aboard. I immediately went through the courses with CLIA, and then began Avoya University where I learned best practices for using their system and working with live leads.
The live leads are an amazing part of their system. No more marketing, buying facebook ads or bothering your friends. I have met people from all over the world who I never would have had the opportunity to sell to without our leads.
I have been with Avoya for about 60 days now. I set high goals for my first 30 days and using the system and the offered live leads I sold twice as much as I thought I would. I am brand new to travel and because I am with Avoya and do everything they suggest, I know I will meet or surpass my goals for the year. I cannot say enough good things about the support and tools with this company.
