Avoya Travel has made selling travel again fun and profitable! I joined in Aug 2008 after owning my own storefront agency for 10+ years and trying to make it as a home based agent with a major consortium for two more years.

Avoya is for the full time travel professionals. It is not for part timers who want to "earn a few bucks" working a few hours a week. But if selling travel is your passion and this is your business, you can't make a better choice.

From the beginning it was obvious I had made the right choice. Technical and marketing support are exceptional. I don't have to maintain my own website. I don't have to track my commissions and I have a network of fellow agents to call upon for help and support. They are always there.

The company owners are the most ethical people I have run into in business. They do business in a professional manner and expect all their independent affiliates to operate at the same ethical and professional level. Their support for their affiliates is complete.

I could tell you more about the systems they provide to run your business, the training they offer, the support they provide for your business, and much more. But the most important thing I can tell you is that affiliating your business with Avoya Travel will be the best business decision you will make.

We joined Avoya Travel in March of 2008. Prior to that we had owned a store front for more than 10 years and worked independently out of our home for another 2 years. Our business was struggling to survive with our existing customer base.

Avoya was a godsend. We no longer try to maintain a website, wonder if our marketing money is well spent, try to get new clients, chase commissions and track booking action items with yellow stickies on the folders.

Avoya embraces new technology. Their database is a powerful, effective tool. Their marketing gives me access to excellent potential customers.

Avoya's owners and officers are ethical, and expect that from their independent affiliates. Avoya offers many training opportunities, and has won numberous industry awards. I could go on, but the bottom line is that Avoya is the Best of the Best.

If we weren't affiliated with Avoya, we would no longer be in the travel business.

We have been with Avoya Travel for almost 8 years, and our income has grown every single year, including during the economic downturn.

Avoya's "live lead" program allows me to outsource my marketing and advertising to Avoya Travel. They provide the leads, and the only cost to me is the commission split if I sell them. If I don't sell them, there was no loss to me at all. I've also outsourced my promotional groups management to Avoya. I believe they reserve over 25,000 cruise cabins every year, giving me a competitive advantage. Avoya Travel's affiliation with American Express offers additional benefits to my clients - they can Pay With Points, earn extra points, enjoy Mariner Club sailings, and of course, the Amex reputation is pristine.

Besides the incredible advertising and technology, Avoya handles all my accounting and "chasing" of commissions. I can spend ALL my time doing what I do best - selling over the telephone. With all the services they provide, the commission split is so worthwhile - don't worry about the percentages, look at your bottom line! I can make MORE money in MY pocket using Avoya's lead program, than I could if I kept 100% of the commission but had to spend my time marketing, advertising, prospecting, bookkeeping...instead of just selling selling selling.

I also know that if I have a question, Avoya's expert team will be there for me. Avoya's reputation with the vendors is incredible. No matter what I need, the name "Avoya" opens doors and escalates problems until they are solved.

They are receptive to suggestions, continuously improving, and ethical beyond belief. The opportunities for learning are terrific - webinars are available both live and recorded. Vendor training, sales coaching, FAMS, a terrific annual national conference...

Avoya wants full time travel professionals. If you have only a few hours a week, this won't work for you. Our leads are nationwide and worldwide. If you make yourself available to your clients and are responsive when THEY want you, you can really make a lot of money. I have my emails going to my smartphone, and my voicemails transcribed into emails that I get on my smartphone, too. So I can be as responsive as possible. I also know that when I travel I have trusted and competent colleagues who can deal with my clients in an emergency, and who will have access to all my computer-based records.

In 2011 we made more money than ever, and also spent 48 days at sea. Who DOES that?!

I have been with Avoya Travel since 2004 and it has been the best business decision that I have ever made. I had previously worked with a leading, upper premium cruise line.

Free leads, what more can you ask for? Support, training, leads, software program, buddies program to assist in my absence, lots of fams available, national convention.........

I can make as much money as I want or as little as I want. That part is dependent upon how many hours that I would like to put in. Presently, I work many hours per week.

You can not go wrong if you have the desire to learn and succeed.

As an agent with over 20 years in the travel industry, having worked for a lot of large corporations, AAA, Carlson Wagonlit, and American Express, I can honestly say joining Avoya Travel was one of the best decisions that I have ever made!

I have made more money and enjoy the flexibility that I am afforded by associating my business with Avoya Travel.

The technology and support is one of a kind, top notch and ever evolving for the enrichment of everyone.

I had a serious health issue in the fall of 2011. The peace of mind and kindness that was extended to me will never be forgotten. I was able to work when I was up to it and still make money to support my family. For the last 3 years, I have been a top producer even with the illness, thanks to Avoya's Live Lead program.

I hope to continue to be well and look forward to a long and productive relationship with Avoya Travel.

I have been with Avoya for 2 years.

I first decided to affiliate my independent business with Avoya Travel because of their Live Leads™ program and the low financial investment. Getting new clients delivered directly to me based on my specialties seemed like all I needed to make my business successful.

Once I experienced Avoya Travel's excellent sales support, motivating webinars, cutting-edge Agent Power™ technology, and more, I realized how far my host agency had exceeded my expectations.

I've taken full advantage of Avoya's many training opportunities and my sales and commissions have soared!! In my 2nd year I received the "Best of the Best" award from Avoya Travel and over 90% of my customers came from leads they provided.

Avoya Travel is highly respected in the travel industry and I am very proud to be affiliated with Avoya Travel.

I was drawn to Avoya Travel mostly because of its reputation as being a long-time representative agency of American Express. I wanted to be affiliated with a company that I know my clients can trust and respect. By providing us with specialist programs, almost daily trainings, webinars, and more, Avoya Travel offers my home-based agency unbelievable education. They keep us up-to-date with the travel industry, which is very important to a home-based agent.

The support that we recieve is the BEST 24/7 if you need something they are there for you. The owners of this company are hands on and will always take time out of their busy day to spend time with an IA that is needing help or just wants to talk.

We also have a National Conference that is the BEST. Not only do we learn so much, get to meet the supplies face to face but it's fun.

I would also have to say that our lead problem is the BEST - so if you are coming in with a book of clients are just starting over, Avoya is the place to join.

Beth Leonardt
An Independent Affiliate of Avoya Travel Since 2010

I have been in the travel industry for over 40 years and have managed many large travel branches in addition to being in charge of the Canadian federal government travel office. Before I made the decision to branch out on my own three years ago, I researched thoroughly all host agencies for the best fit for me. I found Avoya to be far and above so much better than any other host out there. One of the main reasons is their "leads" program which allows you a vast client base you would be hard pressed to find on your own.

Now there are many kinds of "independent" travel agents looking to get into the industry. If you plan on working casually a few hours a week and not make it your primary source of income then this is not for you. Avoya is best for serious experienced agents who want to work full time and have their income primarily derive from booking travel. Their technology and support system is next to none and the online office and booking engine you have access to is extraordinary. One important aspect of this host agency is that it is highly respected by industry suppliers and they have won so many awards with the top cruise lines, which makes it a huge benefit to your business reputation.

System wise you log in every day and in one area you have email, your own private website, leads, all your files at your fingertips, your calendar etc.....it is amazing, not to mention the affiliation with the trusted American Express brand.

You can log in and work from anywhere at anytime which makes working so much more fun. If you are serious about working full-time and want to make great money using the best technology in the business then don't hesitate to come onboard..... Avoya is the only way to go!

Affiliating with Avoya Travel is the best thing I have ever done in my 25 years of being a travel agent. I joined 6 years ago and I can never see myself anywhere else.

Being able to work when you want or can work is the best part, of course the money comes in handy too.....

The management and staff are outstanding and always there when you need them.

There are numerous classes every week to help better our knowledge of the business and keep up with the vendors.

No one should hesitate in joining Avoya Travel, do it, you won't regret it.
