Do your research
So I joined InteleTravel last year in the hope that I’d be able to get holidays at great prices and become an independent Travel agent. In hindsight I should have done more research before joining. In my opinion I found the online training/webinars very confusing and difficult to understand, you didn’t have to complete all at once though. After listening to the webinars and doing the online training you’re all of a sudden a fully qualified travel agent!? How, when people go to college for years and have apprenticeships to become one?? Let that sink in. Why would someone want to book with you after doing online training for a few hours rather than a travel agent that has years and years of experience? I do agree with alot of people that this is a pyramid scheme!! Obviously they are illegal but this is very very similar!! You have a mentor - who messages you via social media selling you all this that you can make X amount of commission etc. at first they are very very nice and welcoming and helping you to start your business but when you’ve launched you are on your own!! Your mentor doesn’t want to know at all. It’s because, once they have signed you up they get commission. They get commission every time you sell a holiday. Which leads me to my next point..not once did I find a holiday cheaper in the back office or in the suppliers sites. It is cheaper for customers to book direct. In order to get loads of commission you need to be booking expensive holidays. I really wish I did more research into this and read reviews. Please if you are thinking of becoming an independent online travel agent do research.
