I joined Dugan's Travel in July of 2021 with no travel agent experience under my belt. I had discovered the joy of traveling only a few years before, and I was looking for a way to travel more and supplement my upcoming retirement income. I decided to give it a year's trial to see if I liked it and could make any money doing it.
Dugan's agency was more than willing to take on a newbie and provided a multitude of training opportunities. If I've had questions on procedures or suppliers or just needed suggestions for great travel ideas for clients, I've always gotten feedback from the leadership team or from other agents in the Dugan's family via the Facebook page. I've never been left hanging on my own.
I live in a small Midwestern town so I don't have a vast population to pull from for travel
clients, but with the variety of training I've taken advantage of, I have been in the top 25 selling agents in 2022. I so enjoy the work I'm doing, now as a full-time agent since my recent retirement. I'm so thankful I took a chance to reach out to Dugan's Travel to ask how I could become a travel agent with their organization. I would encourage anyone looking for a host agency that truly cares you as an individual to contact them, as well.
I have been with Dugan's Travels for 10 plus years. Jennifer is an awesome leader, mentor and has a terrific team behind her. Jennifer and the leadership team truly care about all the agents within the Dugan Family from the newbies to the well-established agents. I always feel supported when I need assistance with a particular booking, specific procedure, or guidance with my own personal growth as a travel advisor. Dugans Travels provides a wealth of training materials covering day-to-day business, personal growth, mentorship, Facebook Group, and FAM opportunities. Platforms include Zoom meetings, pre-recorded videos, on-line training and in-person training opportunities. Dugan’s U sessions have been outstanding! The time, effort and expense Jennifer & the Leadership put into these events is unbelievable. Each time I have attended the West Coast sessions, I gain an immense amount of firsthand knowledge from the suppliers in attendance, gain insight from fellow agents, and a sense of family. I am a better travel advisor because of Dugan's and can’t wait to see what the future brings!
I've been part of the Dugan's Travels team since 2011, hard to believe it's been 12 years. The support team is made up of past and current travel agents who understand the travel industry and home based agent’s needs. If I were choosing a host agency today, I wouldn’t hesitate to choose Dugan’s again!
I have been with Dugan's Travels for 10 years now and it has truly been a joy working with such an amazing team! We are truly family. I always feel supported when I need assistance or guidance, whether it's with the ever-changing travel industry or with my own personal growth as a travel advisor. During the pandemic the family bond only became stronger as we continued to come together and help each other navigate through uncertainty in the industry. It was because of this bond that I took the leap to pursue my travel business full-time and resigned from Corporate America. I attended my first Dugans U session last year and got to meet our operations team and talk to them one on one about my goals for my business and the feedback and guidance I received has made such a beneficial change in my business. I am a better travel advisor because of Dugan's and I look forward to many more years working with this amazing family!!!
Dugan's Travels is a great company that I am pleased to be a part of. I have been to DugansU three times and each time I have learned a lot from the trainings that they have organized!!! If you ever have a question there are many ways you can get an answer and most of the time within a few minutes!! Thanks for all the Dugan's Family!!!
I have been with Dugan's Travels since 2009. As I start my 15th year with them, I continue to improve with their continued training and assistance. I know I made the right choice choosing Dugan's Travels as my host agency. The benefits of being with them include available seminars to attend, emails and Facebook to advise us of all up to date information. They take great pride in how they treat their agents and it shows. I look forward to what is to come.
I have been with Dugans Agents since 2007 and I couldn't have picked a better agency. It is like a family and support from staff and other agents is top notch. Everyone is eager to see you succeed.
I have been with Dugan since 2013, 8 years and 1 month to be exact. Dugan's Travels have efficiently evolved since I joined. Jennifer, Chief Family Officer, strives to keep the integrity of this agency. The agency with its officers and members, provide training and keep the agents remain competitive and adept to the ever changing industry from internet proficiency to social media. Dugan's Travels launched Smart Agency, our back office system, which is continuously being improved to attain efficiency & simplicity. With the Covid 19 Pandemic, the agency constantly reaches out, supports each and every advisors, checks on its travel advisors to ensure that they are well and to keep them focused on their travel business despite the dismal effect of the current Pandemic. I am grateful that I joined Dugan's Travels.
I love that with Dugan's I can move at my own pace. The back office support system is absolutely amazing they are there for you no matter what and will walk you through what ever issues you may come across. I really appreciate the add support from the other agents. I am beyond grateful to have such a supportive family to become a part of.
I have been with Dugan's Travels for over 18 years. Jennifer is an amazing person that truly cares about her agents. She works hard to help everyone from all experience levels while keeping that family environment. Dugan's Travels has grown so much in the last several years offering lots of training options in-person and online, a CMS system and a lot more. I am so happy with Dugan’s.
I have been a Travel Agent with Dugans for over 11 years. The support is amazing. There is always someone to reach out to when you have questions. There is an amazing Facebook page for other agents to share ideas and help guide each other as well. 2020 was difficult for everyone but Dugans made sure that we knew they were right there with us the entire time.
