FAQs

From experience, we know that you will have many more questions about this business option. Here are some of our most frequently asked questions, but if there are any others that you may have, please give us a call and one of our sales team would be delighted to assist you.

Can I do this part-time, or while having another job?

You can choose to run your business part-time or full time.  

Do I have to use the Travelosophers brand?

Our recommendation is to utilise the powerful Travelosophers brand which will give you many advantages by association. The support that we provide is naturally geared towards promoting the Travelosophers brand and all our marketing and branding assets are related to our brand. However, it is possible for you to promote your own brand within our Travelosophers network but at a premium cost- you can read more about using your own brand here.

How/when is the commission is paid?

Commission is paid 8 weeks before departure date and the cut of date is the 15th of each month. The payment will go straight into your bank account.

What happens once I join?

Once you have signed the contract you will join our virtual training induction. After the training you will be ready to trade. You will get assigned a Business Development Manager to go through building your business plan and support you in starting your business.

What suppliers can we use?

We have a range of suppliers that you can use, from Jet2 Holidays to Kuoni, to suit everyone’s needs. If there is a supplier that you feel that we should have and don’t currently we will endeavour to create an account. We also have a contracting team that are able to source specific hotel properties and suppliers.

What support do I get?

You will have a dedicated Business Development Manager to help you every step of the way. They will be available when you need them and to help you think what steps you have to take to grow your business. But most importantly to be there for you for a chat or words of encouragement.  Full support of head office for systems, admin or booking enquires will also be provided.

What systems to do you use?

Our travel booking system is a one stop shop for you to build your business around. It has an integrated CRM, quoting system, dynamic packaging capabilities and payment facilities and much more. It’s also cloud based so can be used anywhere in the world as long as you have internet.
