After many interviews with large and small agencies, I kept running into the same wall: hefty upfront fees and very little guidance for someone new to the industry. I was basically being asked to pay for the privilege of being ignored. I had the good luck to find Csilla with Evyssa Vacations and she changed my outloook. She didn’t just take me on; she invested in me. Csilla is one of those people who seems to have a mental database of every resort, supplier, and workaround in the travel world, and she actually shares it. She’s generous with her knowledge, relentless about staying ahead of industry changes, and constantly coming up with ways to make her ICs sharper, more confident, and more successful. Evyssa is the first place where I felt like I wasn’t building a business alone. It’s collaborative, it’s forward-thinking, and it’s run by someone who genuinely wants her advisors to thrive.
