Lotus Travel Network

Be aware of this company and Stephanie herself! She has stolen tens of thousands of dollars from agents by receiving commissions checks from TO's and not paying her agents! A couple of these 5-star reviews are from past employees and are unrealistic reviews. She states she will be going out of business December 2022 but be aware of other businesses she may open in the future. I have nothing good to say about this company.

Please don’t not think about this agency. All the agents are owed thousands collectively. The owner has now stopped responding to all email, texts and any type of messages. People are hiring lawyers and making police reports. She is stealing from her employees. She sent an email saying due to personal issues she is closing but still was bringing on new people onboard. Please be aware of her intent. Do not sign up. You’ll be out a lot of money.
We are all good employees and we would
Of understood if she was going through something. Unfortunately she started to lie to everyone stating she was not receiving commission when the commission was actually paid out thousands and thousands $$ worth of commission paid out that she said she never received.
Please stay away

This was my first host agency when starting out my travel business. I wanted a small agency so as not to "feel like a number". It all started out great with sessions with the owner on marketing, training and new ideas. I was so excited. I started booking and was doing great! Until the time came to receive commissions.

At first it was merely disorganized and took longer than expected. Then as the year progressed it became complete lack of communication. Once I realized that this was not sustainable for my business I switched host agencies and now I've been ghosted by the owner. I have emailed SEVERAL times and haven't received ONE response. The last communication from them was a promise via ZOOM messaging that I would get paid out the last of my commissions and that was back in May. I have tried reaching out to other members of the host agency but the ones who helped the owner ALSO left and the other members don't know about commissions.

I am owed a few hundred dollars in commission which is a big deal for a small new business. I am so disappointed and would like to tell new agencies... avoid this host agency like the plague.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that I made the move and joined Stephanie at Lotus Travel Network. The support I have received while building my brand has been priceless. This support extends all the way down the line to agents as well. We truly are a family who are there to support each other.

Education is a big focus of LTN - from business and operations training, software reviews and training, sales cycle training, marketing...the list goes on and on. Have something you are struggling with? Just ask Stephanie and the training will be put together and scheduled.

If you are an experienced agent who is looking to take the next big step - this is for sure the host for you. If you are new agent who is looking to enter the travel industry and have no clue where to start - Lotus Travel Network is where you should be!

I just recently joined Lotus Travel Network this summer. I've been a travel advisor for over 5 & 1/2 years but the knowledge that I have been given the last few months since joining LTN has been incredible. Not only was I able to start and operate under my own brand I was able to learn, train, and use techniques to do it properly. As a stay at home mom who runs two small businesses and works from home, it was nice to work for and agency who understood the importance of being there for my children while also managing my professional life as well. Since joining I was able to accomplish become a Certified Travel Advisor under their guidance which was a huge deal for my busy life! Stephanie, Joanne & Scott are some of the best people to work for. They are hard-working, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful with all of their agent's needs. But they also make our environment fun to work in so you truly enjoy and love doing what you do! I highly recommend LTN not only for all your travel needs but also as an excellent agency to work for as well!

What makes Lotus Travel Network stand out is that it is run by two women who are not only knowledgable and passionate about what they do, they are actively involved in helping their agents succeed on a day to day basis. Stephanie and Joanne take the time to get to know their agents, as well as what we want out of our businesses, and then they are there to provide guidance and support as we grow and work those businesses. They provide trainings in sales and marketing as well as supplier and vendor training. Essentially - whatever you think that you need or want from a host agency - you're likely to find it with LTN - and whatever you don't yet know you need or want - you'll find that, too!

I signed on with Lotus Travel Network in May of 2020. What Stephanie and Joanne have is something special and unique. If you are brand new like me, THIS is the agency you want to join! They are encouraging, the overall training is hands-down phenomenal, the platform is streamlined, and they are always (and I mean ALWAYS) ready and available whenever I have a question. Look no further than LTN, you'll be glad you did!

I joined Lotus Travel Network after spending about 5.5 years with my previous agency. The difference between the two agencies is night and day! LTN provides options for beginners to work under a flagship brand as a traditional travel agent or for more experienced agents the ability to run our own brands. Plus LTN is super supportive of their agents and encourages us all to continue learning our niche markets. I'm glad I made the switch to LTN and excited to see what the future holds.
