INDUSTRY
When I was curious about moving into the travel industry ten years ago, a trusted friend told me that Brownell was the way to go, and they were absolutely right! I found the mentoring program and was lucky enough to be selected for the exclusive class. I was properly trained, and was able to learn as I built my business in the first year. After graduating from the mentoring year, I have always been very pleased with Brownell.
Not only am I surrounded by some of the top advisors in the business, I feel constantly supported by the hosting team and my colleagues. Especially in the early years when I ran into bumps, or had issues come up, the hosting team always reassured me, pointed me in the right direction, and had my back. I am grateful they are always there for the little and big questions.
I'm also grateful for their support with all of my accounting, helping me develop my relationships within the business, and nurture clients. The marketing is also extremely helpful, I would love to do more of this but I just don't have the time, so I'm glad they are able to help me out.
Overall, I couldn't be happier with Brownell and am grateful to be a part of their wonderful family!
The training and hosting programs at Brownell Travel are so unique and a testament to Brownell's commitment to a successful future for the travel industry as a whole. I am so proud to be a part of this "family" and I can say, without a doubt, that my business owes its success to the daily support and assistance from the Brownell hosting team. In addition to hosting support, Brownell also provides an outlet for peer collaboration. While I may not know 100% about every destination in the world, my clients know that I have access to over 100 other amazing luxury travel advisors. I use this network on a daily basis to get the best expert tips and fresh insight on my clients' next destinations.
Brownell Travel's hosting department is an important part of my success. Being an independent consultant with Brownell and working from home, it would be easy to feel isolated. Nevertheless, my assistant and I feel completely connected and love the communal support that we receive from Brownell Travel.
There are no questions left unanswered, and if more than 3 minutes elapse with an unanswered question then we worry that hosting has left for the day!! The hosting program is a true partnership and just another way of showing that we are part of the Brownell "family". They are as passionate for our work as we are.
Their support and responsiveness shows they have a true stake in our success. I cannot imagine a greater agency or support team and am lucky to be part of such an organization. Thanks!
I have been with Brownell Travel for just over 1 year and cannot say enough good things about it! I love everything about this company. I had always wanted to be a travel agent but really wanted to be qualified as a luxury travel advisor and it was very important to me to be a member of a Virtuoso host agency. Brownell Travel's mentoring program has provided me with training, an outstanding community of seasoned professionals and access to the best suppliers and resources that I never could have found on my own. In the world of booking travel, Brownell Travel has a stellar reputation with all suppliers and my clients receive incredible upgrades, personalized attention and wonderful amenities. I never feel "alone" working from home because I know there is always someone available at Brownell to help me out and they are very in tune with the needs of all of their advisors. I am so thankful I found Brownell and am ecstatic about my new career!
I have started my travel career by making one the best decisions--and that was to join Brownell's mentoring program and graduate as an independent agent. Not only have they provided me with excellent training, they continue to support me as I learn and grow my business. The hosting support staff is professional, positive, responsive, and always cheerful and eager to help me. I have found that my personal desire to be a top-notch travel professional with high expectations for customer service, integrity, and commitment to excellent results have made possible by my affiliation with Brownell. What they deliver to me allows me to deliver the very best to my clients.
