The life of an at-home Travel Agent is a dream come true for so many people – time freedom, personal freedom, and financial freedom are just the start! Agents can work the hours they choose, with the clients they choose; they can work from home, a local coffee shop, their kids' sports practice, or a luxury hotel overlooking the beach! The possibilities are endless when you get to design your own IDEAL life – right?
Absolutely! The ITA business allows anyone to book travel and earn travel commissions – part-time, full-time or any time! The future is in the palm of their hands.
PlanNet Marketing Reps must sell this business – as a BUSINESS. Please make sure that when you’re extoling the benefits of being an at-home Travel Agent, you talk about selling travel and earning income – that’s it!
PlanNet Reps are NOT allowed to talk about:
- Personal booking for savings
- Agent’s personal savings of any kind
- Agent’s earning “back” commission from their own travel
- Special Rates that are only available for Agents
- “Discounts,” “perks” or special benefits of ANY kind!
- FAM trips or trips “earned” by completing certification or training
- “People who join just to book their own travel"
PlanNet Marketing sells a travel business – this means we only sell a way to earn money by booking travel for others. Reps do not sell a way to travel more yourself or travel at discounted rates – that is NOT the product we offer.
Please keep in mind, this rule does not only apply to our company. All travel agents are required to refrain from mentioning any types of agent perks, discounts, or benefits. ITAs should ONLY talk about rates they can SELL to their customers. Reps should NEVER mention any special rate or discount for ITAs. Selling this way is a violation of both PlanNet Marketing policies and InteleTravel policies. It can also draw negative and unwanted attention to our Reps and Agents.
Help us Protect the PlanNet and sell our business with INTEGRITY!
