I changed my host company to Montecito Village Travel about a year ago and I'm still in awe at how great this host company is.
They have exceeded all my expectations when it comes to providing support and the tools needed for my success. Their in-house system is the best I've seen, offering everything from tracking commissions, sending brochures, invoicing clients, and even a calendar for headquarters staff, showing when they are out of the office.
The company has invested an enormous amount of time and I'm sure money, to make sure we have what we need to be successful, yet they don't charge a fee for using their system. The idea that they are successful when we are is backed up by everything they provide and do for us, versus other companies that say it but don't back it up through actions and tools.
They are always offering webinars weekly, with different vendors and also their in-house team, highlighting their system, marketing ideas, networking and everything else you could think of. Not only are these great tools but nearly every webinar has an incentive with the opportunity to win a gift card plus for their in-house webinars, an Amazon gift card is given all attendees.
Their high volume with the different vendors, cruise lines and hotels is at a level where the commission %'s are either on par or higher than I've seen elsewhere, meaning more money in our pockets!
Although Montecito is a large volume agency, they have a small company attitude. Everyone, from the President down is available if needed and there's never a feeling that anyone is "above" or too busy to help or even answer a question.
I've been in the industry over 40 years and it takes a lot to impress me this much but they have.
