Would you like to turn your love of travel into a career? Do you have a passion for creating memorable experiences, thinking outside the box, and providing service that exceeds expectations? Are you ready for the business adventure of your life?
Imagine Travel is expanding and we are looking for enthusiastic people with a love of travel to join our founding team of travel advisors.
Imagine Travel commits to creating travel experiences that help our clients experience the world beyond imagination. We support the busy lifestyle of our clients and help them step outside of their vacation norms by creating hyper-custom vacations, and as such, our clients return time and time again. We take great pride in going above and beyond for our clients, providing them with service that truly WOWs. Most importantly we know how to have a good time!
For our founding agents, this simply means that you must believe that excellence is a state of mind. It also means that you have a commitment to the mission and vision of Imagine Travel and you act accordingly. We serve, not sell, although this is a sales position!
Our Founding Agents will have the opportunity to grow their own business while shaping the company. For a small yearly fee, we provide you with the tools and training you need to become a successful travel advisor. You work out of your home office on your own schedule. You will book vacation travel for your clients through the Internet and via phone and receive commission. You will also enjoy other benefits by joining forces with our team of professional vacation planners.
We welcome all candidates; those who would like to make this a full-time commitment as well as those who just love travel and are looking for some extra income on the side. We have a fun and supportive atmosphere where we encourage each other as a team to work towards creating the best possible vacations for our clients.
We provide personal training in marketing, procedures, and tips on generating leads and growing your business. We also provide opportunities to train on various products & travel vendors.
Please ask lots of questions and be honest during this process. Finding the right fit between Agency and Agent is vital to ensure a mutually beneficial relationship. Delve deep into the level of customer care services we provide, processes in place, back office, requirements, expectations, and recommendations. We want to make sure this is a great fit for both of us.
