Let’s talk about one of the most common reasons people consider becoming a travel advisor:

The perks.

YES they exist. And yes, they can be pretty great!

But let’s also be honest:

The best perks come after you’ve proven yourself.

And that’s not a bad thing.

So… what are the perks, really?

1. Fam trips and travel agent rates

Once you’ve earned your place in the industry (typically after reaching at least $5,000 in paid commission), many suppliers open the door to discounted trips, preview cruises, or “fam” (familiarization) rates.

These aren’t freebies. They’re industry tools designed to help you sell better. And suppliers only offer them to advisors who’ve shown they’re serious.

Inside Travel Genius Coaching, I help you hit that $5,000 benchmark step by step so these perks become a real part of your business.

2. Flexibility in your schedule

You’re in charge. Want to work during school hours? In the evenings? From your laptop on a cruise ship? You can do that. You decide when and how you work.

3. Joyful, purpose-driven work

You’re not just booking trips. You’re helping people make memories. Whether it’s a first cruise, a multi-generation getaway, or a long-awaited retirement celebration, you’re playing a part in something meaningful. Vacation memories are what most people remember in their lives, and you have the privilege of being part of the process, making these memories all the more special.

4. Industry respect and community

As you grow, you’ll find yourself welcomed into a community of other passionate advisors and travel professionals. You’ll get early access to promotions, personal support from suppliers, and a front-row seat to what’s happening in the travel world.

But none of this happens overnight.

The perks come after the professionalism.

That’s why inside Travel Genius Coaching, I don’t just teach you how to book trips. I teach you how to build a business that earns respect.

You’ll learn how to serve well, quote with confidence, and reach that $5,000 commission mark as quickly and sustainably as possible.

Because once you’re seen as a true travel professional?
The doors start to open.
