Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any formal training or certifications?
No, but training is essential.
For new-to-the-industry agents, we are partnered with Wanderlust Campus to provide you with a training program designed to teach you best practices, marketing, how to book travel, and how to manage clients. (An additional cost applies for this training)
Will I be an employee?
No.
You’ll be an independent contractor. That means you set your own hours, pay your own taxes, and are paid by commission.
How do I make money?
You earn a percentage of the commission from travel suppliers.
Commission is paid after the client travels, not at the time of booking.
What are the main responsibilities?
– Learning destinations, cruises, and systems
– Booking and managing travel
– Marketing and growing your client base
– Providing client support and service
– Being available after normal business hours to help travelling clients with any issues.
How much can I expect to earn?
Income varies.
Expect low income at the start. Growth happens as you gain clients, experience, and repeat bookings.
How much support will I get?
You’ll receive training, mentorship, access to booking tools, and community support from the owner and fellow agents.
Is this job right for me?
It’s a great fit if you’re self-motivated, love travel, and want flexibility.
It’s not ideal if you need immediate income or dislike sales.
Anything else I should know?
– Attention to detail is vital; mistakes can be costly
– You’ll need to be tech-comfortable
– Travel planning is rewarding but not always glamorous
– Relationships matter more than sales pressure
Do I need any special licensing?
Maybe.
If you want to sell travel insurance, you will need to be licensed in your client’s province to sell insurance. There is a fee and a test involved for each province, along with yearly training requirements.
(We do have an alternative)
You may also need a municipal business license, which is usually reasonably priced.
There are some provinces that require additional licensing. Because of this we are not currently accepting agents from Ontario or Quebec.
