One of the main draws of being a Travel Agent is your ability to make commissions from something everyone already does; everyone travels. We access special discounts and benefits unavailable to the general public or Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) like Expedia.

​

This is a commission-only based 1099 contract. While we will be here to train you and give pointers, you should treat this like starting your own business. You will be responsible for winning your clients and managing your own time. We recommend doing this part-time until you've created a large enough client base to comfortably replace your current job's salary. Most of our agents have started down this path and have become full-time.

​

Do I need experience to become a luxury travel advisor with LuxRally Travel?

 

No, we do not hire prior travel agents. Our methods and philosophies are often opposite to that of traditional travel agencies. For example, we do not believe in charging service fees, and this is something experienced agents cannot wrap their heads around. Additionally, while we enjoy free travel occasionally, we do not believe in FAM culture. FAMs are free group trips for travel agents and often create a conflict of interest between the agents and their clients. Traditional travel agents may send people to a location in exchange for a FAM trip. We find this practice repulsive.

 

The average travel agent makes $46,000 a year; LuxRally Travel agents make multiples of that, hitting six and even seven figures. The LuxRally system is best for beginners as it takes more energy for us to fix existing agents than to make new ones.

​

What is the difference between a travel agent and a travel advisor?

​

There is no real difference; however, travel advisor is often the preferred term for those in the luxury sector.  

 

Who is a good fit for the LuxRally Travel team?

​

We want general hustlers here to make money and know how to sell. We want you if you have no sales experience but can prove to us that you are a natural-born hustler. Those with prior sales experience, mortgage brokers, car dealers, jewelers, IT salespeople, concierges, hotel sales managers, medical, pharma, top producing real estate agents, timeshare salespeople, etc., tend to be better at not only understanding the value of their networks but also understand how to advocate for their clients when interacting with vendors. We also look for individuals with large networks that deal primarily with the upper middle class and wealthy and those with a passion for all things travel, especially luxury travel and luxury dining.

​

Do I need anything specific to become a travel agent?

​

We have built a comprehensive training program for brand-new agents that have never booked travel before, and it's completely free. Agents must complete this training and schedule a one-on-one session with one of our trainers. All of this is free of charge, with one requirement: that you stay with our agency for one year. You can expect the training to take 12-16 hours, three-fourths of which are self-guided.

 

From a practical standpoint, you will need a solid computer (preferably with multiple screens), a smartphone, and a current job that allows you to interrupt your day to handle issues for traveling clients. This is a 24/7/365 career. While you will not be working all of the time, clients need to be able to reach you if they experience an emergency while on a trip.

​

What happens after training is over?

​

After training, you become a fully licensed travel agent, ready to sell. We provide access to a superabundance of resources to ensure that all new agents feel welcomed and confident.

​

• The LuxRally Group Chat: Our group chat is a go-to for most agents seeking hotel recommendations, assistance with booking tools and third parties, advice on utilizing benefits programs, and general guidance for anything that may come up. LuxRally Agents sign agreements stating they cannot poach each other's clients, allowing our agents to confidently ask for assistance without fear of giving up a promising lead.

​

• Continued Mentorship: One-on-One sessions with our VP of Sales and trainers are always available to our agents. Whether you need a refresher on using a booking tool or lead generation advice, you will have access to a solid mentor.

​

• Bi-Weekly Ask Me Anything (AMA) Sessions with David Eisen: David Eisen is not only the founder of LuxRally Travel but is believed to be the highest-grossing single travel agent in the world. Our agents can casually ask David anything travel related on bi-weekly video calls.

​

• Weekly Vendor Chats: Each week, a vendor is invited to a companywide weekly video conference to present educational materials and lead a Q&A. From General Managers of Forbes Five-Star hotels to Mega Yacht experts, our agents have access to continued education directly from industry professionals.

​

What can I earn commission on?

​

• Hotel Stays (including groups)

• Cruises

• Flights

• Tours

• Car Service

• Travel Insurance

• Rental Cars

• Private Villas

• Private Jets

• Luxury Trains

​

How do I get Paid?

​

We offer a commission split based on your received commissions from your client's bookings. It is one of the best commission splits in the industry. While we do not share it publicly, know that even experienced agents won't receive the same split and level of support in our industry.   The most productive LuxRally travel advisors can make over one million dollars in annual commissions.

​

What if I fail?

​

Follow our training, and, likely, you won't. However, in the rare case you do, you will owe us nothing. Before parting ways, we will remove you from our website, group chats, and other internal resources. While a tiny percentage of our agents who complete training drop out of the program, we understand that selling travel is not for everyone.

​

Ready for the next steps?

​

After enrolling in our training program, our VP of Sales will reach out to schedule a quick call. The purpose of this call is to become acquainted with one another and ensure that LuxRally, as a host agency, and you, as the agent, will be a good fit. After the fifteen-minute call, if both parties decide to move forward, you will be given access to an online curriculum with deep dives into everything from booking tools to sales strategies, quizzes, and other resources. Training takes 12-16 hours on average, with some graduating within a few days and others completing the course over a few weeks.
