I have been a qualified travel advisor since 1991. I had a Uniglobe Agency before 911 and I worked part time as an outside sales rep for years while working full time elsewhere. When I lost my full time job at director of sales during Covid I decided to go back to my 1st love of travel and TTAND was the name I heard the most when researching who I wanted to work with. TTAND gave me all the support I needed to get the best prices for my business. Flemming has always responded to my request for help. And the inside customer services people are great! Albina has helped me the most. She not only tell me what do to but she takes the time to teach me. Pamela, James and others have always been very helpful. I love being part of a big team. I met Charlene Smith at my doctors office and she has helped me learn the system more than anyone. I may work from home but I am never alone! I do travel with my team at The Travel Agent Next Door!!

TTAND has been the best "move" I have ever made.

Being in the business for close to 25 years I have worked for big brand named companies both in the bricks and mortar office and in home based (10 years) and the support I get from TTAND is bar none. I may have the silliest of questions but they are always there in a timely manner to answer them. No question is silly!!!

From the amazing support staff, marketing staff and finally Penny, Fleming and Rhonda moving to TTAND is the best move you could make.

After working for everyone else for the past 18 years, it was time to take the leap and go on my own. While I loved past agencies and owners I had worked for, the commission split program was very motivating for me to receive more of the money I have earned. After only the first 6 months on my own with TTAND (branded as Travel by Amanda), my sales have surpassed my entire 2016 sales.
The marketing and back office support is nice to have so you don't feel alone, yet I can choose what I would like to do.
There is never pressure to succeed, you just do because you have the tools and I put in the time.
Looking forward to the continuing success with TTAND and bringing on new agents for my agency!

As an agent with over 30 years of experience in the industry I was happy to join TTAND a few months after they opened. I knew both Flemming and Penny had plenty of experience and I trusted both of them to run a great company. I was not wrong. Since joining TTAND I have had nothing but support from head office with marketing, website, training and anything else I need to run my own home business. The commission split is excellent. The yearly conferences are life changing, and meeting all the other agents either in person or in online forums just for us is a fantastic way to grow my business. Although we have grown in numbers, there is always someone to answer my questions. One important factor is that the people at head office ALWAYS want our feedback on anything they do. They really listen to the agents and treat us all the same, no matter what our sales are. Best Host Agency ever!!!

I joined The Travel Agent Next Door a year ago and couldn't be happier. With my last host agency I constantly felt like a failure and a nobody to the organization because I wasn't one of their top earners. At TTAND it's not about how much money you make them. You could be one of their top sales agents or at the bottom and they treat you the same. With respect. With TTAND it is all about you and your business. How to build your business and make you more money, not them. The head office staff is wonderful and a joy to talk to. You can ask them any question or if you have a problem, they are always happy to help. The staff at head office are all very knowledgeable I find the agents that TTAND is attracting are all about helping each other, and not just themselves. I recently meant a lot of them at our TTAND conference. What a great group of people. If you are thinking of joining the travel industry or you are already in but thinking of a change, then The Travel Agent Next Door is the way to go. It has made my life better.

The support from this host agency, it's staff and fellow agents are exceptional in there support and friendship. Some points that influenced my decision:
The communication with the founder and office support.
You succeed they succeed, believing in your dream!
The added value, marketing, social media, flexibility , openness to new ideas, higher commission, I could go on but ultimately you need to find the best fit for you and do consider this host agency . There is no pressure to join. I look forward to growing with "The Travel Agent Next Door"

Prior to switching to TheTravelAgentNextDoor, I worked with two franchises of a cruise-focussed agency. The difference is high noon versus the deepest dark of the night. The attitude of total support to agents pervades everything that this agency HQ does and the Flemming/Penny team seems to bring out the best for us, the agents. There is a very collaborative approach to problem solving and decision making which can be almost shocking, depending on your previous work experience.

The recent TTAND conference I attended affirmed my earlier satisfaction generated by working with people who truly put their money (and all other resources) where their mouth is. I will stay with TTAND for as long as I am in the travel industry.

I have been with The Travel Agent Next Door since March 2015. I was with another company for a year prior. I can say with authority that the assistance and the communication is so far above average,it will never be surpassed.This company pays the best, offers assistance in every way promptly,provides ongoing learning opportunities and is concerned with each agents happiness and satisfaction before your bottom line. There is no pressure to do more than you are prepared for but help is always, always there.Come join and see for yourself.

I am new to The Travel Industry and so I don't have anything to really compare this company with but I feel very strongly that choosing The Travel Agent Next Door as a Host was a good decision. After completing my Travel Agency Operations Certification from Humber College I found that the only jobs I could get with no experience where at Bricks and Mortar agencies. I have young children and live far from any Travel agencies, I didn't want to work for a Bricks and Mortar agency. I choose to join the Travel Agent Next Doors New Agent Program. I was hesitant at first. There were many agencies to choose from. The new agent program was a large investment for me and Travel Agent Next Door a relatively new company (founded by trusted and experienced members of the travel industry). It's been almost 5 months and my business is doing fantastic. The Travel agent Next Door has fantastic and knowledgeable support, a marketing department has your best interests at heart, a fully bookable website included in your monthly fee and an unbeatable commission structure. If you are a new agent and considering training with a Host agency then you will not be disappointed with The Travel Agent Next Door.

The Travel Agent Next Door is my 4th travel agency since making the move into travel sales in 2004. From 1997 to 2003, I was the National Network Implementation Manager for a company that designed and installed computer networks into travel agencies throughout Canada. So when I say that I've had exposure to a great many travel agencies across Canada, you can be sure that I've seen a lot over the past 18 years.

The Travel Agent Next Door is different from any travel agency I have ever experienced. Foremost in their business operations is the agent comes first, and that trickles down to the support and service we can offer our clients. The TTAND team is all about helping agents grow their business. Our opinions are asked when making decisions that directly impact our ability to grow and service clients. We're treated as one big family, and never feel that top management is unapproachable. To the contrary, management gets excited when we come to them for help, advise, support, concerns or complaints.

TTAND is an encouraging atmosphere of mutual respect. As agents, I have witnessed an entire room stand up and applaud management for their tireless and kind dedication to their team. I've known what its like to feel continuous frustration with your host agency, and now, 100%, I know what it's like to feel important and appreciated. The Travel Agent Next Door is one host agency that is doing EVERYTHING RIGHT!

I've been a business owner over 30 years and in the Travel Industry over 10 years. The support and encouragement I receive from #TheTravelAgentNextDoor is beyond any support I've received before. My business is growing and will continue to. Problems/Issues with suppliers are handled immediately and I become the hero to my clients. TTAND asks for feedback and implements our ideas and everyone wins. We share amongst each other.

This is the Agency to be with... The Travel Agent Next Door provides me with all the tools necessary for success. I strongly recommend our company where you want outstanding support, better commissions thereby making a change that would positively impact your career and the vacation dreams of your clients....
