INDUSTRY
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.
What I love the most about Avoya is the work any where, any time aspect of it. I live in a separate state from my parents. December 2016 my Father took ill. He passed away the end of January 2017. Due to Avoya's work any where any time aspect I was able to go up and be with my Father during the illness and stay with my Mother after his passing and help take care of arrangements and still work and take care of my customers. With a sticks and bricks office I would have had to use all my vacation and sick time and possibly even go on family leave. There are other great things, but that's the biggest for me.
Love My Job!!!! Avoya has the technology and tools to enable us to succeed in a great business. Work at home, do as much or as little as you want. Your Income is your own decision. No boss looking over your shoulder. No arguments with colleagues in a cubicle next to you Create great relationships. The ability to travel. Theres more
I think one of the greatest aspects about Avoya is the cohesiveness of the Independent Agents and Avoya's mechanism to help them connect. I honestly don't think I would have made it this far without the support in the Community Forum. Avoya promotes a professional relationship among the agents, allowing new IA's like myself to learn from seasoned veterans.
As well, the support offered by the Avoya team is also simply amazing. Whether it's the Mastermind team with the opportunity to grow your knowledge, or the support personnel who work with us in ever aspect of the client or trip, everyone is top notch!
I love this company. The support, training and service is fabulous! I've just referred two other independent agents and one has joined, the other is in the process. Thanks AVOYA, exactly what I was looking for!
Although I have traveled extensively my whole life selling travel was all new to me. Avoya has been great for someone coming into this without a travel agent background. The learning & support especially since joining the Master Mind group has been key to getting me to where I am. I researched and considered a number of host agencies and am glad I chose Avoya. My advice to any new IA would be to not measure yourself by others. Although you will never stop learning there is a lot to learn just to get up to speed. Days of frustration & a large time commitment for learning is overwhelming at first but by 6 months there will be less doubt. Be patient. Also give yourself a break by not trying to learn to many vendors at once.
All the support that I received is invaluable to someone new to the industry. Everyone is very caring in answering questions and all the webinars helped me learn all aspects of travel.
The resources you provide to each and every IA is second to none. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude to this company for its unparalleled level of professionalism and expertise. You are a host agency's host agency: You listen, adapt, and implement. I have only been in the Avoya network for 60 days, and I wish I knew you sooner. I thank God for Avoya Travel!
I love the accessibility of the Avoya Network and how I may be in business for myself but not by myself. I love that there is a support group out there at the main offices and the Mastermind program is fabulous! I've been with them for over 10 years now and looking forward to many more years to come!
I've been with Avoya for over a year and my experience has been terrific. It was easy to set up my business and affiliate with them. Their live lead system is great. Yes, you will get leads that have no interest, but so do brick and mortar stores. People browsing and gathering information. That is were your sales technique kicks in. It gives you ample opportunity to sharpen your approach to selling travel. I've spoken with other agents here at Avoya and their business took off immediately while others it took some time. My biggest success has been on the repeat client. Ultimately, it's up to you if you succeed or fail. Avoya tries to offer you all the tools - take advantage of it. I'm very grateful for what Avoya has been able to offer me.
Lots of available training, resources, and accessibility, and the live leads program.
