I have been with Outside Agents for four months now and I have been very happy with my choice of host agency. OA provides the tools and training that I need to be successful as well as the opportunity for mentorship. And when I ask a questions or have a concern, I can count on getting a quick response back from OA. But the best part is the agent community - everyone is so helpful and encouraging. I am really glad that I chose Outside Agents.
When I decided that I wanted to become a travel agent 16 years ago, I did a search for Host Agencies and came across Cruise and Tours Unlimited, as it was called 'way back then. I spoke to Steve, Chad and Marty and decided from their sincerity about the family business, that this would be a good place for me to start my new career. I was not wrong. They were always available to help with whatever I needed, and I needed so much. The improvements they have made throughout the years in the training of their agents, is just amazing. Our BDMs are helpful also when their expertise is called upon. I am happy that I made the right decision immediately and have grown with their help. If you are looking to start your career, it would be wise to call on Outside Agents (as they are called now). You will not regret it!! Good luck.
Since joining Outside Agents, I have been pleasantly suprised with all the new technology they offer us. It is very easy to use the CRM and receive our commissions. Thank you OA for staying on top of the newest trends, offering seminars, webinars and other means for training. Contacting the office is seamless as well.
I've been with Outside Agents for two years; I started this journey as a hobby, I've made more money than I thought I would. Outside Agent's leadership, technology, learning tools, suppliers, BDM, and customer service team are the absolute best. The monthly fee is minimal; the benefits are astronomical. Outside Agents have given me the confidence to grow a hobby into a business and I'm so excited to have finally found my "Happy Place"!
Very supportive host agency. Quick response to queries. Provides significant training for new and existing agents. Provides array of tools through portal used in selling travel, managing clients, and managing travel at reasonable cost. Always willing to work with agents to help them accomplish their goals. Provides travel marketing sites for agents.
I was with another host agencies up until 2016 when I switched to Outside Agents, and none of them compared to OA. Everyone at OA is always available are ready to help in every way possible. The training is outstanding. I cannot say enough about the staff as they go above and beyond the call of duty. I do not think you can find a better host agency.
OA has been great to work with! I really enjoy all of the training resources they have available to us. The staff is very helping when you need it and are always willing to go the extra mile to make sure any issues are resolved. I look forward to many more years with OA and all they have to provide!!
From the time I joined Outside Agents, I have had more support than I ever needed. From top management down to the front desk clerk, everyone gives you their best. The are helpful, engaging, supportative, technology driven, education focused, and a FUN bunch of people to work with. They go out of their way to help you grow your business - from a beginner to the expert. There is no other like them - hands down!!
For multiple years, I've been affiliated with Outside Agents, and I must say that their cutting-edge technology, tools, and commission rates surpass those of other host agencies. One standout feature is their hands-free marketing, which has significantly boosted my client bookings. Their training resources are consistently accessible and straightforward to follow, empowering me to work independently, and their support is consistently reliable whenever assistance is required. What impresses me most is Outside Agents' commitment to upholding high ethical standards, which fills me with pride to be associated with them.
I have had multiple agencies through out the years, but I have found a home with Outside Agents. They offer tons of training and resources. The CRM is wonderful and easy to maneuver. I have no complaints, If I have questions, there are multiple resources to get answers. I would definitely recommend them to other agents.
Anytime I have ever had a question, someone at the company has reached out to me in a timely fashion. The CRM is easy to use and I am glad I made the switch to this company!!
I think people that are disgruntled need to realize that there is no job that does not require proper training. So you can not think that you will make six figures your first year on the job. It is not Outside Agents responsibility to market you and grow your business. If you only plan to book 4 trips a year then you are never going to be proficient at your craft!!
