I started out my travel agent journey with another agency. I knew I needed more from my Host, but didn't know where to start. I looked at Host Agency Reviews and narrowed down my options to 3. After interviewing them all, I decided on Nexion and it was the best decision I have ever made. The first time I logged in to the Nexion agent site, I knew I was where I wanted to be. The tools they provide their agents are everything you could want to be successful in your business and more. The trainings--both online and in-person, are some of the best I've been to in any industry. I've made wonderful connections with many other agents also with Nexion, and can say without a doubt, the people who work with Nexion and FOR Nexion, are some of the best anywhere. I highly recommend Nexion to anyone looking for a Host.
I have been a Travel Consultant for over 20 years and with Nexion as an independent Agent for close to 10 years! I have may own loyal clientele, and know what I am doing, so I find Nexion perfect for me. I get the increased commissions, options for bonuses, fams, discounted travel, etc. When I do have a question, they always try to help, although since they have grown so quickly, the Customer Support Staff isn't as helpful or knowledgeable,(depends on who you get), as when I started and everyone knew me. (This is the reason for the 4 &1/2 stars instead of 5).
Overall, I am very happy with Nexion. I do my own thing, pay a minimal fee each month and reap the extras. I have referred several other agents to Nexion and they are happy also.
I joined Nexion in 2004 after 25 years in the travel industry. I had managed offices and worked for large corporate agencies in the past. I felt it was time to go "out on my own" and wanted to find a host agency. I was thoroughly impressed with all aspects of the assistance with Nexion. I handle large groups, up to 540 people and handle all the ticketing and all aspects of the group. I previously was a ticketing agent with a large corporate agency and find the ticketing desk to be of utmost help all of the time! I had my first invite to a Nexion fam a few months ago and was so very impressed with the level of efficiency of the Nexion staff and of all of the other Nexion agents! What a wonderful experience to meet other professionals and learn how they handle the overwhelming business that we are in. I am sorry that I don't have more time to attend more Nexion meetings and seminars. I would highly recommend Nexion to other agents wanting to explore other alternatives and I'm sure even new agents would become experienced in a shorter time with all the services offered by Nexion. Many thanks!
When I decided to start my own home based travel agency 7 years ago, I did a lot of research before deciding on a host agency. There are so many out there, but the things that made me choose Nexion, were training and tools. Out of all the agencies out there Nexion surpasses their competitors in these two areas by a great deal! Their accounting and ticketing support is also excellent!
Things change fairly quickly in this industry and having access to the latest reliable news and updates are mission critical, and Nexion provides this in a number of different formats to meet the communication needs based on the way you do business.
Access to the best providers in the industry with some of the most competitive commission rates are also quite impressive! The buying power of being part of the Travel Leaders network allow me to be very competitive with even the largest travel agencies in the country.
Would I recommend Nexion to other travel agents? Absolutely!
I have been using Nexion as my host agency for 1.5 years, and I'm so impressed with all aspects of the company. I met a Nexion team member in Las Vegas for the home-based travel show and immediately decided to make the switch by dropping my current host. I'm so happy I did! I had no idea how much I was missing by using my old dysfunctional host. The training I've received has been phenomenal........both in person and online. When I call the Nexion office, I'm always greeted with a friendly and helpful employee. My emails are always responded to on the same day. The commission reports are very detailed and professional.....I've never had to wait for payment. The vendors acknowledge Nexion as one of their preferred host agencies so the commission levels are higher and we're given a direct dial number to speak to our business development manager.
There are a lot of opportunities to meet fellow agents with the training events, corporate events, and the online blog offered on our website. Nexion is constantly asking for input in order to make improvements. It's obvious that the whole corporate staff values us as agents and wants us to succeed. I'm extremely happy with them as my host!
It has been 10 years for me with Nexion, and I can honestly say as an agent of over 37 years, Nexion has been the best host. I enjoy working with the staff, Conexion, and I am excited about attending my first corporate weekend coming up this Friday. I recommend them very highly and I so enjoy working with everyone there, so thank you Nexion staff for being so helpful and supportive .
I started with Nexion when the storefront agency that I was working with closed it doors. I have never looked back. Nexion provides support and services, preferred suppliers and great contracts that I haven't seen in other hosts. I have grown my business successfully with Nexion's support and now own a storefront agency of my own! I was on the Advisory Board for several years and many of the changes and programs that Nexion provides come directly from their agents...they DO listen and want us to succeed! I have always felt supported and encouraged by Nexion and the staff and look forward to another 9 years of partnership.
I had a long time desire to become a travel agent. Nexion made it possible. When you join Nexion you feel like you have an extended family. It has been a great experience.
I joined Nexion five years ago having been referred by a friend.
I had experience at another host agency and had never heard of Nexion.
The Nexion staff actually cares about their agents.
The commissions are the highest in the industry.
I am mostly a leisure agent however when I need to issue airline tickets the staff in the air department are always knowledgeable (especially Gabriel)super helpful and nice.
The cruise group space that Nexion provides is extremely helpful and provides the extra perks to pass on to my clients.
I am extremely grateful to have found Nexion and would recommend it to any new or experienced travel professional looking for a host agency.
At the ripe young age of 60, I ended my career as an Engineer and made Travel my vocation. My wife and I have traveled to over 70 countries and I can think of no greater gift that I can give to others than to help them plan and execute a journey of their dreams.
In the 6 years that I've been a Travel Agent, I've been with 3 different Host Agencies. Nexion is heads and shoulders above the other 2 experiences that I had. ALL my interactions with Nexion have been truly professional. The commission rates earned by booking through Nexion are higher than at the other 2 Host Agencies. I have always gotten prompt responses to all my inquiries and i thoroughly enjoyed their annual conference, CoNexion, as well as their Boot Camp.
The Nexion business model is aligned with my goals. They are NOT trying to sell Travel Club memberships, nor punishing you if you use a non-preferred supplier; they truly want you, as the agent, to provide excellent opportunities to your client. I highly recommend Nexion with any hesitation.
I have utilized NEXION as my host agency for 4 years now and have found it to be incredibly imoortant to the growing success of our business. I visited the corporate office when I first joined and was treated as if I were a top producer, which I definitely wasn't, and felt right at home. Today, with the great support, marketing options, educational programs and preferred vendors we have been able to grow our business to over $1M in annual sales.
I think you get out of any organization about what you put in, but in this case, I think NEXION has more than pulled their weight and I think any agent, or agency, hoping to grow owes it to themselves to allow NEXION to help.
