May 19, 2026

I don’t think people truly realize how important it is to have the right host agency behind you until you go through something difficult.

Recently, I found myself dealing with a very stressful business situation and honestly felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what to do next. I reached out to someone from leadership (Dan) after hours expecting maybe a reply the next day, but instead I received an almost immediate response and even a personal phone call. They took the time to explain things clearly, help me understand my options, and gave me so much peace of mind during a really stressful moment.

What surprised me even more was receiving another call from one of the co-founders, Chad Burt. I know how busy leadership can be, so the fact that they personally reached out just to check on me, calm me down, and give honest advice meant more than I can explain.

At the end of the day, that level of support reminded me exactly why I chose Outside Agents as my host agency. It’s more than just business here — they genuinely care about their agents as people.

Very grateful to be part of this community.

This is my first year and they have been very helpful with the trainings and availabilty for help with things. I think the training alone has helped fill in so many gaps with trying to learn how to be a credible and professional travel agent. After a month I got my first client and I believe a big part of that was because of the training.

Before launching my business, I did a lot of research and purchased an entire training program from somewhere else. The only reason I am not angry about having spent all that money is because that training program ended with host agency recommendations, and one of those recommendations was Outside Agents. I am so impressed by the available resources, training, marketing, etc. that are included in the very small monthly fee. Outside Agents is ideal for any travel agent, as their commission split is one of the highest, if not THE highest, in the business. But especially for someone who wants to create a brand for themselves, not use another host's brand, Outside Agents is the best. Seriously, they keep adding, or I keep finding, new resources available to me, for training, suppliers and marketing. This has been an exciting year, and I could not have had this kind of success without Outside Agents!

OA has been my host agency since I started my business...just before the pandemic. They offer automated training as well as in person trainings in Jacksonville, FL. The support is great, but you are a true Independent Contractor. You decide how much or little you choose to take advantage of with their training and support. Although I would love to see updates with our CRM, it is still a very good tool. One of many that are included in the monthly fee.

OA is excellent in so many way-the staff is very well trained and very helpful, & personable too. The owners are always adding new training for us - complimentary online as well as in person at their office, and seminars at sea. Frequent emails are welcome to keep us in touch with what's new. I highly recommend them for all advisors - your business will grow quickly.

Joining Outside Agents has been such an incredible journey of growth for my travel business. Their extensive resources, training library (both live and in-person events) strong industry partnerships, and supportive community of other agents have propelled my success. This is truly a family atmosphere, where the owners and other agents are here to help each other grow! Outside Agents offers everything and more to ensure the success and growth of your business and I feel so lucky to be a part of this amazing team.

I am very new to the travel industry but had done a vast amount of research. I came across Outside Agents via a recommendation from a credible travel agency owner who highly recommended OA. So far, I love the community, the training, and the tremendous support. Super eager and happy to be partnered with them!

Outside Agents has been super supportive of my new start into the industry. I worked 30+ years in the corporate world and it's a blessing to know that I have such an organized and responsive support to my own business!! Training, escalated issues, accounting, CRM, sales tools and so much more. It's all there. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

I have never regretted switching from another Host Agency to Outside Agents in 2019. Their support "family" is outstanding. They are always looking for ways to keep us informed and trained with industry changes and technology. All while be aware of our budgets as TA's. I highly recommend Outside Agents.

I've been an affiliate of Outside Agents for over 2 years now, and I've been consistently impressed with the level of service they provide. The people I've dealt with have always been quick to respond to my questions, and they're always super friendly and helpful. Even the owners of the company are always accessible, and they're always willing to go the extra mile to help me succeed. Another thing I appreciate about Outside Agents is their commission structure. To my knowledge they offer some of the highest commissions splitting in the industry. They're a great company with a great team of people, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a host agency.

I am very new to this, and it is something I honesty have been wanting to do for my entire life, but somehow life got in the way and I wasn't able until now. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out, because it all led me here. I am so happy with outside agents, there's so much I could say... They don't only give you all the necessary tools to get your business started, but they provide unparalleled support, there is an incredibly personal touch to every interaction and an incredible amount of resources provided to you, from having the ability to speak to the owners directly to amazing mentors, everyone I have had the pleasure of speaking to has been incredibly, kind, helpful, patient and knowledgeable, OA also encourages a sense of community that you cannot find many places nowadays, I could speak amazing things too about all the other agents with OA, OA has nurtured a community where everyone is helping each other, everyone is always happy to help and share their knowledge and resources, I can confidently say that this is one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
