Does anybody think I would have a chance at becoming a home-based Disney agent who specializes in Disneyland? I've never been to WDW or on a Disney cruise. But I've been to DL probably 75 times over the course of my lifetime. I'm very knowledgeable about DL, but not with anything else Disney out of California. I'd be willing to learn, though!
Would host agencies even consider me?
Thanks.
I have been a Disney Travel Specialist with an Ear Marked Agency for over a year now and I love it. If you find the right agency you will be taken care of.
My agency is small but has some amazing agents. We specialize in Disney Travel but can book any. The owner requires $15,000 in sales to stay active. Each agent has their own commision split but mine is 70% me / 30% agency. And if your sales top $30,000 you get your CLIA card. It is a part time Job for me and I def did not get into if to get discounts. It is not worth it for that. However if done correctly you can make a nice income.[/QUOTE
None of the ones I know of have fees like that. If there are fees, it would be a yearly insurance fee ($150 at most) and buy your own supplies like business cards. No website fees or stuff like that though.I am interviewing with a smaller, newer agency and the participation fees are $350 annually until you meet a certain sales goal it is waived. I am wondering how standard this is industry-wise. (The fees include insurance, website, business cards, etc.)
Thank You
Could you please PM me more information about your host agency?The agency I work for pays 80 percent commission and is a Disney earmarked agency... that said, I can also book any type of travel which is a huge bonus. One group trip to Cancun netted me enough money for a week at a suite at ASM.. not to mention the travel benefits Disney offers to travel agents.
I would actually rather this than an agent who had only been to a park a few times!Yes, they would. If you get with the right agency, there will be other agents that will be glad to help answer questions about the other locations so that you can learn. You would also get training on all things Disney. Other agents with the agency might not be so knowledgeable about DL and you might be able to help them too.
Good luck!!
80% Wow, is there such a thing? Im interestedCould someone please send me a pm about the Earmarked host that pays 80%? I'm finally getting 60% after nine years as a TA...
Can you pm me with the name of this agency? Thank you!I'm a Disney TA ( work at home) I get 70% off commission & 90% for personal travel..
Also with the CLIA or IATA card their are lots off opportunities to save or even Disney will put out specials for travel professionals..
