This is the type of question we get asked in the Global Travel Membership department all the time. People usually find us on the internet or through word of mouth. The type of person we set up to be a travel agent varies from an ex banker to a manager at the local supermarket. Generally the thing that people do have in common is a passion for travel. Most people love to travel and at some point think should I start up my own business? That’s when we come in, the Membership team… We may get a call from people like you making an initial inquiry or an email from our website. We would then go through what you wanted to do, work from home office or a shop? Go through any questions you may have up to arranging an informal meeting here at our head offices in Chester. At the meeting we would go through everything with you, from how the systems work to the levels of commission you could earn. It’s an exciting product and planning someone’s dream holiday can be very rewarding. After the meeting you may want to go ahead quickly or you may come back to us in 12 months time. Should you choose to go ahead you do so when the time is right for you.
