I was with a previous host agency for 7 years and had to fight to receive almost every dime I earned. So many excuses and delays and lack of Head Office support. My previous agency may have been around for 25+ years but their services took a nosedive during covid and never bounced back.
Because of this I decided to leave and joined TTAND about a year and a half ago and I can't begin to express how happy I am to have switched host agencies.
TTAND works WITH their Agents by providing prompt immediate support; you can make a call and speak to someone immediately or put in a support ticket if you don't need immediate action.
The Founder is just an email or phone call away, always! He has even taken my calls while sitting at an airport! How is that for support and caring for his agents?
TTAND walks walk you through everything if you are unfamiliar or have questions.
The difference in host agencies is like night and day! I'm so glad I made the switch and wish I had done it sooner!
When I decided to go with a host agency in 2018 I did my research with all that was out there... TTAND won by a longshot and once I became established I was more than happy with them... TTAND feels more like a family of caring individuals and will go to any length to bat for you through thick or thin... I have always felt important whether I have had a good month or a quiet month....Flemming and his staff have made this a fabulous Company to work with...
TTand is the best Host Agency out there, I've worked at a few and never had the support that ttand provide, I remember sitting for hours on my off days waiting for my pay cheque. I'm grateful for our leaders and support staff not to mention our ttand community of Agents that are always there ready and willing to help each other. TTAND is home for me.
Over 3 years now with The Travel Agent Next Door and I am super excited to get to work each day...still! With a stellar support staff in every department always ready to take a call for assistance, how can we go wrong?! Attention to detail and recognition of all things important in our industry is what keeps TTAND on top! Regular communication through monthly Town Hall meetings, ongoing emails of support and cheers from Flemming (Founder) bring this company's standard of excellence to new heights! Annual Conferences! Road shows! Giving back to the Community events! Shout outs to the heartfelt enthusiasm with Penny, Rhonda, Sam, Natalie, Albina, Alma, Lorraine, the newbies on support!!! and those behind the scenes... We are "family" ♥ We are real - and it starts from the top down...and down back up to the top! ♥ Thank you TTAND for changing my career life as a Vacation Specialist from existing to thriving in so many wonderful ways...not to mention the generous split on commission - earning more on every booking - selling travel couldn't be better anywhere else than partnering with The Travel Agent Next Door - what are you waiting for? Go the "extra mile" and join our success team today!
I joined The Travel Agent Next Door in 2022 as a brand new agent to the industry. I feel so encouraged and supported by everyone I've been in contact with so far. The training has been excellent and there is nothing they haven't thought of. The entire team from initial contact, to onboarding and now to support has been incredibly kind and professional. The team is so approachable and provides personal attention when you need it. The agent website is continually updated with information and resources. I feel very fortunate to have found such a positive community in which to launch my second career.
Joining TTAND was one of the best decisions that I have made in a long time.
The support staff actually make you feel like you belong - they do not talk down to you and follow up to ensure that everything is in order.
While I am an idependent contractor, I actually feel that I am part of the organization.
The Travel Agent Next Door has been a real game changer for my travel business. I switched during Covid and the support and networking has blown me away! It starts with the Leaders of TTAND, then the support staff and fellow Agents, they are all super supportive and here to help each other grow "our" business. The technology they have implemented to help us work smarter, not harder is out of this world. So fortunate to have such a great organization to support my travel business!
I just joined The Travel Agent Next Door in July 2022 and am new to the travel industry. Between the agency and my mentor's help, I feel so supported and encouraged and empowered. When I need assistance, I get it almost immediately. It is a team approach, which I greatly appreciate. I am SO happy to be part of the TTAND team!
I have been with The Travel Agent Next door for only a couple of months. I am extremely impressed with the company, The support they give is amazing and the staff that you receive the call from are very very helpful and never make you feel as if you are "putting them out" or "disturbing them". They make you feel important no matter what your question and that no question is unimportant and believe me, even though I was an agent with another company, I have a lot of questions. Receiving a call from Flemming was a highlight as well, from what other company have you received a call from the founder of the company, again making you feel important and appreciated! At my other agency I never felt like that nor did we get the help as we do here. I am very happy that I have joined The Travel Agent Next Door!
After taking a hiatus from 7+ years in the industry, I was uncertain about joining again. A friend in the industry recommended TTAND to me and it was definitely the right choice! Joining was a seamless transition, the systems in place make it so easy to get back in the groove of things and support is amazing. Flemming, the founder of the company, is very involved and spends time one on one to ensure you are comfortable and ready to go. The support team is responsive, supportive, and website for agents is super user friendly. I've only been back as an agent a week but I feel like I've fallen right back into the groove of things! This company was definitely the right choice for me and I look forward to a long and prosperous tenure with the company.
Seven years and counting now with TTAND. I was in retail travel prior to selecting The Travel Agent Next Door as our host agency. All the promises made that the decisions made had to be a win for all parties. The level of support, vision and commitment to processes and partner companies when I selected TTAND are as strong as when my husband and I signed on. The support and Host office is second to none and many have become friends. The company vison stays true and strong. I spoke with many other host agencies and am 100% true in my belief we are still with the best travel host company for us. Thank you TTAND!
