I started off in the travel industry working with another host agency that I was not happy with and one of my friends who's also a travel agent kept telling me to give Avoya a try. I'm so glad that I gave them a try and I'm happy to still have my travel agency business affiliated with them a year later. The support that I get from Avoya especially the Early Success Team and Brand Sales Departments is extremely wonderful. I will admit when I first joined Avoya I was struggling but that's because I didn't reach out for help and once I contacted Early Success at Avoya asking them for help I went from struggling to now ending every month with at least over $2,000 commission wise. The Early Success Team is a wonderful asset that I'm very glad that Avoya has for free where as with most other host agencies they charge you for a coaching session. Avoya has opportunities where you can meet with the senior leadership team in person. Avoya even invited me to attend the naming ceremony for Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas where I got to meet so many of Avoya Senior Leadership Team in person and I even got to talk to Avoya CSO Phil Cappelli for a bit during the 3-day naming ceremony cruise to the Bahamas. The live leads program with Avoya is amazing not only are my customers from the live leads program but some of them are also referrals that I got from the leads that I claimed threw Avoya live leads program. Avoya has a long standing relationship with so many suppliers and whenever I have a question or a issue I know that Avoya support team is there to help me. I love how Avoya also has training/educational opportunities that are offered via Zoom. A lot of Avoya staff use to be IA's with Avoya so a lot of them talk from experience. Overall I'm very happy with my affiliation with Avoya and I should of went with Avoya in the first place. Now I'm actually getting ready to add agents under my license and expand my business. I also love how Avoya Early Success Department makes sure that I have goals set for myself and how they cheer me on and celebrate whenever I hit a goal.
because Avoya guys give us all the help we need and more, they are a great host company
Everyone has communicated and been so helpful, I really appreciate it. I have learned a lot outside of AU.
I highly recommend Avoya Travel. Everyone is incredibly helpful and supportive. Even in this terrible COVID-19 environment. The professional development is top-notch. The support team is very responsive. I've got nothing but good things to say about Avoya Travel. If you are searching for a host agency you need look no further.
I have spent decades of my life in different parts of the travel industry. My first love has always been helping people plan their vacations. I researched home based agencies and found Avoya. It has now been nearly 4 years. I have not looked back. Very simply put "Avoya is technology, Avoya is intelligent, Avoya is employees, Avoya is support, Avoya is family !! "
I have been with Avoya Travel since 2007. I have never looked back as it was one of the best decisions I have made for my travel business. I have always felt that the support that Avoya has provided for us in all aspects of our agencies. This is a family and I have always felt that both my challenges over the last 10 years and my strengths have both been supported.
Avoya Travel has been nothing but the best! The Education and support you receive when you become an IA with them is amazing! My recommendation as the best host agency in my book. I can't thank them enough.
I previously worked in a brick and mortar store. Avoya has it all over one of those. It is family owned company where the family is very involved. The Anderson's are very passionate about their company and those of us who represent them. They are very much hands on in all areas. They are not controlling but leading and helpful. I would definitely tell my best friends to look no further if they want to become a home based travel agent. The training you receive when you join is easy and clear. Not to mention if you have or need any assistance someone is always there to help. In all the years I have been with Avoya I have always felt this company is one big family and I am very blessed to be a part of it,
Avoya Travel is providing us with outstanding leadership, support staff and technology that is the best in the world to use to help us run our business quickly and efficient. They have kept all of their staff on during the Pandemic and they are going above and beyond to help us so that we can do what we do best - assisting our clients through an unprecedented and difficult world events that impact their travel plans. They have provided experts during our weekly online meetings who are there to answer any questions we may have. Avoya is concerned about us, our business, and our customers and going above and beyond to make sure we all get through this. I am grateful that I am an independent agent affiliated with the best in the business - Avoya Travel.
Avoya is so generous in their support of our Independent Agencies. Professional and personal.
First and foremost is the support. I made the decision to come on board a couple of weeks before COVID-19 hit. And while I did consider postponing, I bit the bullet and marched on, little did I know that my part time retail job would become full time plus and essential in a matter of days. EVERYONE at Avoya and AU has been very understanding and helpful in the confusing and stressful times.
Secondly, the simplicity of finding answers (my own and potential clients) has been great. And that's coming from one with a dominate Mac background! Again, support ties in here too.
I've yet to 'meet' someone that doesn't treat me like an old acquaintance or newfound friend. The energy of the Company is a positive, friendly one that obviously wants everyone to do well to create a successful company. That's one I definitely want to be part of.
So, while my perspective is fresh, my ears and eyes tell me that this is the right place to be, especially in the unique, volatile, uncertain days we are facing. Avoya is in place to be a forerunner in our new normal.
Avoya, you and your staff, every one in this company is appreciated! keep doing what you're doing!
