Avoya Travel

My time with Avoya has been excellent! Despite my background of over 35 years in healthcare leadership, I am new to the travel industry. Avoya's outstanding education platform, ongoing personalized support, advanced software product, and live lead program have paved the way for a successful start to this new adventure. I highly recommend them.

I have been working with Avoya starting at the end of 2022. On top of the continous training they provide. Their Early Success Team and Brand Specialist team are top notch and always their to help if/When needed. They are constantly providing new marketing campaigns for their IA's. To be honest their really isn't anything bad I have to say.

I am very happy to have chosen Avoya Travel as my host agency. From the first conversation, they have supported me on my way and their team of knowledgeable and experienced professionals was always there to assist me at every step of my journey. They provide comprehensive training and resources to enhance your skills which is especially helpful at the beginning when everything can be overwhelming. Their lead system was another major aspect for me since it is again very helpful when starting your business. If you are seeking a host agency that genuinely cares about your growth and provides exceptional support, I wholeheartedly recommend joining them.

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.

Another two years and our independent agency continues to benefit greatly from its relationship with Avoya. Foremost in our success story is the partnership for shared success; this is where Avoya truly excels. And thanks to our new consortia Travel Leaders Network and major investment by our co-presidents Avoya is powering forward.

Review of Laura Burk and the Early Success Team (Melissa, Ed, Mandy) at Avoya Travel. This is an email I sent the team. If anyone is considering Avoya and are concerned if there is enough training for a new agency owner / travel advisor, I can assure you there is. There is so much available it is overwhelming, but the Early Success Team is AWESOME and helps you every step of the way.

Laura,
Seriously, you and your team may get tired over answering the same questions over and over again, especially when the information is available to... r e a d! Each of these sessions that you create and present moves us one step closer to the "light bulb" flipping on and feeling empowered to "do this" and knowing we can find what we need. I couldn't imagine doing this without the steps laid out by Avoya. I certainly don't feel as lost and overwhelmed as I did in the beginning of this journey to change my entire life and start a business in my 50's! That is because of all of education, support, and constant attentiveness from our host agency. When I start to think, I don't need another webinar about a specific subject, that's when I learn the most or things start coming together so I am grateful!

I have worked with Avoya for a year now and the quality of the leads are remarkable. They are very good at generating clients for my agency. I never thought I would ever sell 2 million again in my lifetime. After 2008 I thought well it's over for me! With Avoya I know that I will continue to get leads and the support I need for another great year!

I celebrate 14 years with Avoya Travel this month. I have been in the cruise industry for 40+ years, as District Sales Manager for Ocean Cruise Line and Princess Cruises, then opening my first cruise specialty agency in 1988. I never thought I would join a host agency, as I was doing very well independently. Yet, when the economy crashed in 2008, I felt it was time to consider. Knowing Steve Hirshan throughout my career, and seeing he was with Avoya Travel, I knew that was the place for me! I have never looked back. I came with a fair degree of personal clients, and was able to fill in the gaps with Avoya's amazing Live Lead program. The quality of leads, tremendous support, and unrivaled promotions are just a few of the many reasons I would highly recommend Avoya Travel to anyone desiring to be successful in the travel industry. Since I joined Avoya, I have exceeded $1 million in sales, consistently, every year, and exceeded $2 million in 2022. It's the best business decision I've ever made.

When I was in the researching phase of whether I would start a travel agency or not, I came across Avoya Network. I'm so glad that I chose them! From training and patience with becoming a new agent, to mentorship to help me grow as an agent, the staff of Avoya Travel have been absolutely amazing. On top of that, there is a whole network of travel agents that, yes, have a friendly competition and want to beat each other, but really want to see each other succeed and grown. I highly recommend Avoya.

I have been with Avoya since 2019, and I absolutely love it! I was with a different host agency before I came to Avoya, and let me tell you....it was the best decision I've made in a very long time.

There are so many resources! Training, support, and friendships! My favorite thing about working with Avoya is the reception you get from suppliers. Avoya has been around a long time, and the name is synonymous with INTEGRITY. That goes a long way if you are an at-home agent really trying to "get the deal".

The Live Leads offered have really elevated my business. I'm from a very small town. It's extremely difficult to build a serious clientele quickly based on my personal connections. Having the leads has elevated my business to a new level. Yes, there will be some of those leads that are just "browsing", but it's up to YOU to put in the work to convert that browser to a booker.

If you are considering a new host agency, please, look no further. You won't regret it. So many opportunities to grow your business, be part of a team, and learn the travel industry the right way!
