Why do you charge $850.00 when other host agencies
in Canada charge up to 25k?
The main reason is, we have a different Business Model. Ask
yourself, why do many franchise companies like Tim Horton's
or McDonalds have a very low "franchise fee"? The
answer is they make their revenue on the Royalty fees. A strong
Host Agency will make sure that the agents are successful, thus
making their revenue on the 30% split. The business owner retains
70% profit on all of their deals. The Host Agencies that are
charging ridiculous amounts make their revenue on the initial
investment. Would you rather have a Host Agency that depends
on its agents or one that has already reaped its profits?
Will I receive the support promised?
Yes! Centre Holidays can only succeed if its agents are successful.
How about training and is it covered in the initial
fee?
Yes, full training is included in the initial fee. There are
too many training examples to list. We are more than happy to
discuss all of these with you.
Is this a viable business? Isn't everybody booking all
their travel on the internet? First, the simple fact is that everyone is NOT booking
all their travel on the internet. In fact, studies conducted
by the travel industry have shown that most people will use
the internet to do basic research and then book with a real
person, either a travel agent or a reservationist at the supplier.
Besides, a lot of people, especially older, well-heeled folks
with a lot of money to spend on travel, don't even know how
to use the internet. Second, your clients can book on the internet
and save through you. Yes, you receive a full online agency
for those who wish to book online. Centre Holidays is the best
business choice because it offers you, the agent, both options.
Some clients will choose to book online while others want the
face to face contact.
How soon will it be before I start seeing the benefits
of being a home based agent? Like Fam trips and discounts?
You can start seeing discounts immediately if you are booking
your own travel. There are some "tricks" that newcomers
can use to start taking low-cost Fam trips almost immediately.
If you think you will be able to travel around the world for
next to nothing while doing no work, you have come to the wrong
place. There are plenty of places that will be glad to take
your money and promise you just that. We want you to experience
the world but remember, this is a business.
Are you a photo ID card or a Multi-Level Marketing Firm?
Absolutely not! We will help you apply for the coveted IATAN
and/or CLIA photo ID card when qualified. We do not provide
any other photo ID card. Think about it. If at all anyone has
to do is to pay $850 and then fly first class, stay in suites
for free, and take cruises for $10 per day, who would pay full
fare? If you really believe you can do all this for $850. then
you probably deserve to lose the money anyway. The truth is
that when these operations first started they were able to fool
some of the suppliers with phony ID cards and travel discounts
but the industry is wise to them now and it is going to be difficult
(if not impossible) to fool anyone into accepting phony ID cards.
A MLM firm usually has many variations. Two of the most common
are when they offer you rewards for bringing in additional agents
or when you are forced to call in your reservations to a central
call center and pay you a small commission. We do not do this.
Do you have quotas? Yes we do and your trainer is there to guide you in
that direction. We offer incentives for those who produce. Some
examples are your own IATA card that will bring about tremendous
savings in Travel. CLIA certification that opens a whole new
world of cruising to you.
The waving of monthly fees, regular incentive draws for producers
and FAM trips.
*Note: All application fees are to be paid for by the agent.
What are the fees?
We have a one time investment of $850. We also charge a $25
plus GST monthly admin fee.
What about hidden fees such as: to mail tickets, credit
card transactions, check charges, invoice charges?
No other charges. This is all covered in the commission split.
Host agencies that continue to nickel and dime you to death
do not have a solid business model or foundation.
