Traveling from Home
April 22, 2005
"Work from your home and send people on trips around the world." That's the gist of Cruise Network's new Home-based Agent Program. For a small set-up fee, Cruise Network provides training in geography, marketing, product information, and selling techniques to those who are interested in operating their own travel agency. No prior experience in the cruise industry or even in the travel industry in general is necessary.
With Cruise Network's status as a Top Producer with dozens of cruise lines such as Carnival and Royal Caribbean, they are able to receive the highest commission rates from their sales. When someone signs up as a Home-based Agent with Cruise Network, they'll operate under Cruise Network's Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) number, thereby allowing them to capitalize on those high commission rates.
Although the Home-based Agent would be using Cruise Network's CLIA number, their business is their own to operate how they see fit and in what capacity they desire. They may choose their own name, work when is most convenient to them, and keep their own list of clients that not even Cruise Network can see. The only stipulation is that a small percentage of the commissions they receive from sales are given to Cruise Network.
"The cruise industry is a really exciting and rewarding field to work in. Not only do you get to learn about all these great places around the world, you get to send people on their dream vacations. When someone comes back to you after their cruise and says, 'That was the best vacation of my life,' it is a really great feeling. Becoming a home-based agent is perfect for people who need some supplemental income or who want to start a full-time business from their home," says Anita Flippin, Outside Sales Manager for Cruise Network.
And once you become a Home-based Agent, you'll have continuous support from Cruise Network whenever you need it. Cruise Network provides their Home-based Agents with marketing materials, monthly conference calls with preferred vendors, and personal assistance from Cruise Network's cruise specialists. Everyone involved has a vested interest in seeing people's Home-based Agencies grow and prosper.
