Completely Satisfied - balanaced review
What I find hard to undertand about the reviews is that nobody mentions the holidays, i.e did the holiday go as planned? was it good quality for money? did the InteleTravel agent give good service? This is a place to review the holiday service provided rather than your experience of being an InteleTravel agent. This is not glass door, its trust pilot. Inteletravel have global sales of $1.2 billion and contarcts with over 100 preferred artners. It seems their travel business reputation is being tarnished by unhappy newly recruited travel agents rather than clients who have been on a holiday! Inteletravel is a low cost model, at £110 to join + £32 per month. All other homebased travel businesses I researched before joining are in excess of £5K to join (some up to £30K) with a minimum of £99 to £299 per month thereafter. Inteletravel offers significant online training on its back office site which is acessible at any time. These negative reviews seem to relate to some poor marketing reps who seem to have missold the opportinity to those they are selling the license to. It is not a get rich quick scheme and, in my experience, everyone, including those higher up the chain, have worked very hard to achieve their sales and to support their teams. The rep side is not a pyramid scheme. it is a fully legitamate network marketing scheme. Becoming a rep (and part of the network marketing scheme) is optional and nothing to do with InteleTravel. PlanNet marketing is completly seperate. I brought my travel agent license a few months ago. I have made savings on my holidays so far, booked some holidays for friends and earned commison. My family and friends have been very happy with the holidays I have booked. I have also referred the scheme to some friends who have generous travel budgets or want to become a travel agent. I have saved/earned more than double the first annual fees in 6 months. I have however, had to do the hard work training to acheive this. It does take time to learn the systems and suppliers as it would in any new job. I think the negative reviews are from people who have either been misold the opportunity or have joined the wrong mentor / team. If you are interested in becoming a PlanNet Rep, please do your due diligence about not only what you are joining, but WHO you are joining. There are some fantastic leaders in the business. Another reasons for the poor reviews, is that perhaps the individuals are not prepared to put the work in to learn the systems and processes. I don't know what people expect for £110 + £32 monthly to be this upset, what other busienss could you join for such low costs and have your own business? I am a completely satisfied purchaser and IT license holder. I'm not a director in the business or anywhere near it but I wanted to post this to give a more balanced view of InteleTravel as the reviews have nothing to do with the quality of the holidays offered.
