    FAQs


    How much training is involved and how long does it take?

    There is no set amount of training required before you can begin selling travel. However, there are plenty of online training webinars, supplier academies and in-house training sessions to get you off and running. The more you put into it, the more confident you will be in selling travel! 

    What is the success rate of home-based travel agents?

    We have many successful agents working under the Travel Best Bets Connected Agent program who earn enough commission to be their sole source of income. We also have many agents that utilize the program as a “side hustle” along with having another job. How well you do in this business will depend on how much time and effort is put into your business through training and how many clients you have. It can be as big or small as you like!

    Who will I sell travel to?

    Friends, family, social media followers and anyone/everyone that you meet! Let everyone you meet know that you are a travel agent and can take care of all of their travel needs. We will also give you lots of tips on how to market your services.

    Do I need licensing?

    Nope, none! Travel Best Bets holds all the licenses for you.

    What do the sign up and monthly fees cover?

    The fees cover your access to ClientBase, our Resource Center, and supplier platforms, as well as on-going marketing, training and on-call help.

    Do I need any programs downloaded on my computer? Is Mac or PC best?

    You will need to download the occasional program but not to worry as they are generally accessible on any computer. You will also need to download either Google Chrome or Internet Explorer if you don’t already have them, as many agent programs do not work on Safari. PC’s generally work better with the programs, however Macs are functional as long as you download Chrome.
