I found The Travel Agent Next Door through the
internet. Once I decided that I was
interested in pursuing a career as a home-based agent, I started to search and
review different host agencies. I
received an automated reply from one agency with an invitation to watch a
webinar and see what they had to offer. There was no personal follow up,
however. I looked up some agent reviews on this and other agencies and found
that the agent feedback was quite mixed, which did not inspire much
confidence!
The Travel Agent Next Door came to my attention and I
carried out my usual search of agent reviews.
I could not find a single negative review. Everything I read was very positive. I decided to take the plunge and contacted
the agency for further information. To
my pleasant surprise, Rhonda Friisdahl, who was at that time in charge of Talent
Development, called me the very next day!
Rhonda was extremely personable and easy to talk to. She did not sugar coat the challenges that a
new home based travel agent faces when starting their business, stressing that
it would take determination and a great deal of hard work. Rhonda shared some examples of how I might go
about attracting new clients, also explaining very clearly how The Travel Agent
Next Door training process works. I appreciated how she listened carefully and
took the time to answer my questions.
She did not pressure me in any way and stated she would give me a few
days to think over the opportunity, advising she would call back. Having talked the opportunity over with my
husband, I decided that my answer would be “yes”.
Rhonda was true to her word, and called me back. She gave me the approximate timeline that it would take to complete my training with The Travel Agent Next Door as well as earn my TICO certification. This would be needed before I could legally sell travel in Ontario. By the time our phone call was concluded, I was excited to begin! Although I was naturally a little nervous about making such a big change, the contact and consistent follow up I had received from The Travel Agent Next Door helped to alleviate much of my concern. I knew I would receive their support and assistance as I began my new career in travel.
