Junior Member ![]() | Re: 60% off travel Massagelondon; There are two unfortunate facts about this post.
Back when there was a “Brick and Mortar” Travel Agency on every corner, they offered these same “FAM’s” to Travel Agents. The idea is that Vendors or Properties would offer these reduced rates and roll out the red carpet in order to have you, the Travel Agent, come back and sell their property as a vacation destination to customers. The problem is that traditional “Brick and Mortar” agencies started going out of business in the late 1990’s because airlines figured out that people started booking travel off the internet and they didn’t need to pay these same Travel Agents commissions any longer. These same people started surfing for other specials from the likes of Travelocity, Orbitz, and Expedia and even more Agencies went out of business. In all 600,000 Travel Agents lost their jobs back in the late 1990’s. These FAM’s didn’t go away however, and companies like Kathia’s use these FAM trips to attract potential recruits into her business. What Kathia’s company doesn’t tell you is that certain vendors are having problems with the likes of Kathia’s company. Only wanting the discounts, but not selling any full paying fairs. There are a couple of ground rules that Kathia does not mention. This is how I market these same FAM’s to people who like to save 50% to 80% on their next trip.
![]() If given a choice, my friends, family, and church members will book travel with me instead of a highly advertised web site like Travelocity. In return, when they do book travel from me, I get 60% of the travel commissions which range anywhere from 3% to 20% of the total price. The difference is my company happens to be a full fledged Travel Agency, and Kathia’s company is a Network Marketing Company that just happens to sell a little bit of travel. I hate the way you perceived this post, but in all honesty, I can’t blame you. It’s people like Kathia that make my job that much harder to attract people that would otherwise enjoy owning their own business in a $7 Trillion a year industry. I love what I do, I make good money, I take fantastic trips at a fraction of the cost, and I have incredible tax advantages. (I’m a Travel Agent, these vacations aren’t vacations, they’re business trips!) Writing this makes me want to go on anther trip. You can preview where I find some of these trips @ http://www.famnews.com/preview.php. I hope this helps clarify what is in fact very real. |
