I am a referring travel agent and I love it. I get treated the same as a travel agent with free trips to exotic places, discounted vacation packages, and most of all I earn 60% commission everytime I book my own flight or anyone else book their flight from my website.
All I do is to hand out my business card to everyone I meet. That's all. I mean it. I do nothing else and I quit my full time job to do this on a full time basis. I absolutely love it and you can do this too. It's easy. Believe me when I tell.
Just the other day, I got a free trip to Hawaii; all expenses paid (all inclusive). I had an awesome time.
In December, my husband and I were coming from New York and when we got to the ticket counter and the agent saw our travel agent card, they upgraded us to first class without us asking anything and gave us priority baggage claim. We did not have to wait for our luggage.
It was already there when we went to get it. I feel like a princess. I would never go back to a JOB. Check out my website at www.booklowertravel.com and see for yourself.
Most of the time, jobs bore
Most of the time, jobs bore people (the people doing it that is). I loved being a travel agent. I may check the above site out and come back and post my thoughts (if you don't mind). Being an ex travel agent, I am always abit skeptical, as I know already how the industry works, but thank you kindly for the post!
