I started off in the travel industry working with another host agency that I was not happy with and one of my friends who's also a travel agent kept telling me to give Avoya a try. I'm so glad that I gave them a try and I'm happy to still have my travel agency business affiliated with them a year later. The support that I get from Avoya especially the Early Success Team and Brand Sales Departments is extremely wonderful. I will admit when I first joined Avoya I was struggling but that's because I didn't reach out for help and once I contacted Early Success at Avoya asking them for help I went from struggling to now ending every month with at least over $2,000 commission wise. The Early Success Team is a wonderful asset that I'm very glad that Avoya has for free where as with most other host agencies they charge you for a coaching session. Avoya has opportunities where you can meet with the senior leadership team in person. Avoya even invited me to attend the naming ceremony for Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas where I got to meet so many of Avoya Senior Leadership Team in person and I even got to talk to Avoya CSO Phil Cappelli for a bit during the 3-day naming ceremony cruise to the Bahamas. The live leads program with Avoya is amazing not only are my customers from the live leads program but some of them are also referrals that I got from the leads that I claimed threw Avoya live leads program. Avoya has a long standing relationship with so many suppliers and whenever I have a question or a issue I know that Avoya support team is there to help me. I love how Avoya also has training/educational opportunities that are offered via Zoom. A lot of Avoya staff use to be IA's with Avoya so a lot of them talk from experience. Overall I'm very happy with my affiliation with Avoya and I should of went with Avoya in the first place. Now I'm actually getting ready to add agents under my license and expand my business. I also love how Avoya Early Success Department makes sure that I have goals set for myself and how they cheer me on and celebrate whenever I hit a goal.
I am just starting out in the travel industry and Avoya has provided me with lots of support and guidance while I am learning.
March of 2018 will be my 20th year with Avoya, 8 in an office (when they had them in So.Cal) and 12 now from home as an AI. I will be with them until I retire! This agency has the technology and support that can make any Affiliate a success.
The lead program is second to none, as is the efficiency of the website. Technology is state of the art, and Avoya leads the industry in innovation. Great respect, wonderful promotions and commissions are advantages of affiliating with this esteemed company. Owners and staff truly care about their affiliates.
Largest Amex affiliate - with great buying power
Oriented to hundreds of home based agents - with great tools
Avoya has an amazing support system, including the incredible Mastermind program. And without the live leads I wouldn't be in business!
Avoya makes it possible for independently affiliated agencies to succeed, by allowing us to focus on selling and service. By providing high quality live leads, we can leave the marketing and advertising to Avoya and concentrate on what we do best.
Worked for me for more than 12 years!!
Avoya is at the cutting edge of technology. They are very fair when it comes to commissions, response time and actual best pricing. They treat you as a friend rather than a business number. They also have a great knowledge base for you to learn all you need to be successful.
I have been in the cruise industry for 36 years, working for cruise lines and owning my agency. I joined Avoya Travel 9 years ago and have never looked back. This was the best business decision I have ever made. The integrity of the company, special negotiated prices and amenities to offer my clients, the Live Leads program and fantastic support they offer are the top 4 of many reasons.
It is my honor to be a Independent Affiliate with Avoya. Your agency with the live leads program is the absolute best. The support and assistance of this family business is second to none. I definitely would recommend anyone looking to enjoy a career in travel to get started right away. I thank you for the ability to be associated with Avoya!
