Your Travel Biz Source

I know this may sound confusing, but I get calls from full service travel agencies who are interested in the products and services offered by YTB . Why would a travel agency be interested in your travel biz?

Here’s why:

My home based travel business offers much more than travel. For example, we are an MLM travel business which allow us to sell to sell an online travel agency. Most travel agents do not have the opportunity to sell travel franchises.

My YTB business travel agency also sells booking services for entertainment, which includes tickets to sporting events, and many other entertainment formats. Entertainment is a huge business and appeals to people from all walks of society.

With the YTB home travel business people can order and send flowers to anywhere at anytime, which again is a huge industry within itself.

As a YTB online travel agent, I can offer non-profits a fantastic fund raising program where they get their own online travel agency where members and supporters can book all of the services that YTB offers and get to keep 40% of all commissions to fund their projects and causes. As an example, check out what we have done for the Foundation for Cancer Research at www.causetravel.com.

We can also sell new and used automobiles on the YTB web site, because we have established business partners with automobile dealers. In effect, the buyer completes a profile on what they are looking for, and submits the completed form directly to the aligned dealers. At that point, the auto dealership assumes the sales cycle and closes the business. We get paid a generous commission for virtually doing nothing.

People that own brick and mortar travel agencies will be the first to tell you how competitive their business is becoming. YTB’s corporate travel services offer a competitive edge to a travel agency, because they can replace a competitor regardless of any long term relationship. Here’s how this works: Travel agencies compete for business travel that is used by all sizes of companies and corporations. Once a company picks a travel agent to book their business travel, they usually develop a long lasting relationship. At this point, loyalty to that travel vendor kicks in. Therefore, it is difficult to call on these companies and convince them to replace this relationship with their travel agent services. In this case, a travel agent who has a YTB travel license can offer any sized business their own YTB travel franchise, and the business can keep 40% of all the travel commissions on travel they book during the course of their daily business travel. Now the company is making money on their own business travel, and no longer has to call a travel agency everytime they take a business trip! By the way, the travel agency who is YTB licensed earns 10% of 100% of all business travel commissions. Prior to implementing this sales replacement strategy, they were earning nothing with little or no hope of breaking into this new account.

Many travel agencies have customers who want to get into the travel industry. Now a travel agent can sell a YTB travel franchise to these people and earn over-rides on their home travel business. Prior to acquiring a YTB Travel license, they had nothing to offer a person who has this need.

These are solid reasons why existing “brick and mortar” travel agencies are joining YTB Travel. Afterall, they are adding to their existing product and service offering, which results in multi-stream income. Multi-stream income is everyone’s goal.
