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.
“Avoya is like family, the support group is phenomenal. Avoya agents are always willing to assist each other. The Forums, Conferences, the constant learning, keeping in the know with markets and innovation.” If you were brand new travel agent and did not have a single client, Avoya's Lead System is amazing, this allows you to work as much as you want, learn as much as you want and take your business as far as you want. Affiliating your business with Avoya is a no brainer, I reviewed many host agencies and I'm happy with my choice!!!
I Have experienced 2 other Travel Networks. I can attest that the 3rd one-Avoya Network is the charm .They have delivered on their promise and so much more. Their booking engine is amazing, accounting department outstanding, continuous training over the top, reputation and access to Vendors is unreal, exclusive discounts are added bait in the selling process. But they have an unmatched attribute better than anything I've mentioned. The Avoya Network is truly a family. You see founding family's members continuously, every department is reachable and everyone truly cares about each other. When the chips were down, during the heart of the virus, the company took the hit by waiving agent's fees just like us, with our diminished income. We were all in it together.
Perks, recognition, personal growth, compensation are great, but the manner in in which we all look out for each other is unreal. I'm sad that I didn't find them until I came into my twilight years.
You won't find a better, more decent place to settle into.
Once I became a travel agent, I my first host agency was fine and there was no issues with them. So, after a year or so, I started to feel that there was something better and more of value. So, I started to look for other host agencies until a friend message me one day as said to check out Avoya. My friend had already became an Avoya agent so, I watched the reviews, and checked out the website and decided to request more information. I am very happy I did! Avoya Travel had everything I was looking for! I love the fact that you are and Independent Agency and learning how to professionally do business with others. The atmosphere is relaxed and thoroughly planned. If you are looking to book travel without the pressure of building a team, Avoya is the Agency for you! Business development is so much more to your independent agency when things are done correctly.
I have been with Avoya for the past NINE Years. I can only say what a company! With the Live leads program, and the most important part is “Great support and always get help when needed.” I never feel alone as there is someone ( staff) to assist if I run into an issue. My only complaint is that I didn't find Avoya five years sooner!
Avoya has been my host agency for 3 years. Having Avoya as my host agency has allowed me to grow my business with their live leads program. You can also incorporate your own personal clients. Avoya's innovative technology and commitment to education for their Independent Agencies is top notch to helping you grow your business. I highly recommend Avoya as your host agency.
“Avoya is the only host ageny that I know of that give you live leads plsu allows you to bring your own. Their support in all departments is wonderful. Plus their networking makes is great so you don't seem like you are really working from home by yourself!. I have been with Avoya for 15 years and I would not consider anyone else!
Avoya's technology, marketing, and dedication to customer service is based on its place as an industry leader. Avoya is innovative and dedicated to excellence. As an IA with Avoya, I continue to be struck by how successful this organization is using honesty, integrity and dependability as a basis for their business model. Everyone wins with Avoya.
Avoya Travel is My Host Agency. The most important reason for a 10 score is great people, great training, great support , great marketing department , great leadership and lots of live Leads.” I am very please with my host family.
Thank you. Avoya Travel has given me access to travel resources and tools
to share with my clients, right at my finger tips. Avoya Travel is added value to agents.
I started as a new Independent agent with Avoya Travel at the very beginning of the pandemic and it probably was the worst time to start. However, because of Avoya and their on going professional development I have starting building a business I am so very proud of. It takes a lot of work to sell travel on any given day but to do it during a pandemic and to always have that positive motivation behind me was great. I made lemonade out of my lemons and I have sold over $300,000 in travel over the last year. Their Live Leads program does work! The professional development does work! Thanks so much to Avoya for being such a great Host Agency. I have now expanded my business from just me to a team of 4.
The support Avoya gives us that doesn't even have to do with Live Leads. Live Leads are great, but it's all the rest of what Avoya does to try to help us succeed in our business that makes it easier to take the live leads. All of the events and the way you pivoted to make them online during the last 18 months, the educational opportunities you provide, the good and bad news, the mentors, the trainers, the suggestions and the additions of new opportunities. Everything you do as a company makes me, as an Independent Member of the Network, feel like family and feel like you really do care. Thank you so much for all you do and provide!
