​When can I start selling travel?

Once your agent agreement is signed and executed, and we have a completed W-9 and copy of your U.S. identification, we will approve your membership and give you access to our resources and Client Relationship Management (CRM) system. You will have full access to sell travel with Good Life Travel by Danielle. We encourage you to start after completing the new agent checklist.

​How long do I have access to the SYSTEM?

As long as you're a paid member agent, you have access to the agent resources and CRM system and can sell travel as an agent of Good Life Travel by Danielle.

​What if I am unhappy with being an agent?

​We would never want you to be unhappy with your agency experience! If you are unsatisfied with your agent experience you can cancel at any time. You will have access to our systems for the remaining portion of that month. If paid annually, you will receive a prorated refund. Once your month is complete, all access will be discontinued. Any sales that commission was pending will be forfeited if the trips were not canceled and have not traveled. 

​Do I need a website?

​Websites are helpful as they add credibility. Websites are an additional expense but are worthwhile investment in your business. Danielle will provide a list of website options and resources for building a website and increasing your book of business. If you don't have a website, you should at least be on social media page such as Facebook or Instagram.

​Do I get to travel for free?

There are perks to being a travel agent, but you only receive those perks if you are selling. You can receive discounted or free trips depending on how much you sell a particular product. Some suppliers do trip giveaways when you attend virtual or in person training sessions. You need to sell a commissionable trip at least once every 6 months to maintain an active agent status in order to qualify for many of these perks or your affiliation with our agency may be discontinued.

​Do I need a license or certification to sell travel?

No, a license or certification is not required to sell travel. Some states have seller of travel regulations. These registrations are covered by Good Life Travel by Danielle as part of your monthly or annual fee. There are numerous travel agents training courses (mostly free) that you can take to learn the various products you sell but no courses are required. Many of the trainings are required if you want to qualify for travel agent discounts. Knowing the products makes you a better agent and salesperson. Taking trips is also a way to familiarize yourself with the products and making you an expert in a specialized area.

What are the down sides?

To be honest, there aren't too many down sides. Who doesn't love to travel and get paid for it. But it is important to remember that you are starting a business, so you must maintain your business (i.e. filing business taxes or state registration fees) and building a reputation (client relationship management and marketing). It does take work and a financial investment to build your business, but if you are interested in learning how, we can provide you the resources to do so. Also, Travel agents make money from commissions. If people are not traveling or if they cancel trips, you don't get paid. So it can take a while to see the fruits of your labor. Also, in many cases, you are not paid until after the client travels. You might put in a lot of work between now and the time they travel before you are compensated for your work. Danielle can work with you to develop strategies to maximize your profits and see a larger return on your investment.
