Not a Job, but an Adventurous Career Opportunity!

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. NOT AN EMPLOYEE.

We aren't offering a typical desk job but an opportunity to build your travel business with us.It is not a call center, and there is no clock to punch. You will not have a manager or supervisor breathing down your neck to meet specific deadlines, but youwillhave clients with expectations you must manage and satisfy.

This is anentirely remote rolefor US Residents that you would fulfill on your timetable, working with clients as needed and able. Some of our agents are stay-at-home moms, while others have full-time jobs and do travel planning during other parts of their day. Whether part-time or full-time, it's not a big deal to us. What matters is that providing excellent service causes your clients to want to return repeatedly for their travel experiences.

How you meet with them is also your choice - either in person, by phone, or through an online meeting. As an independent contractor, you set your chosen working style in motion.

We are aUnited States-based travel agencywith agents located in multiple states across the country. We sell travel experiences to residents of the U.S. only.

The position iscommission-based,and you are paid a commission split after the client's travel is completed. Lag times between booking a trip and the client departing on that trip can be lengthy at times, so it's best to work at having many things in your pipeline all the time!

We will provide initialtraining, and you will have the opportunity for self-guidedcontinuing education, including monthly team calls, occasional in-person team gatherings, and an annual retreat experience. Everyone coming onboard enjoys a monthly 1:1 meeting with our Owner & Chief Experience Officer during the first six (6) months of their time with us.

Having a computer with an internet connection is critical to your success. Along with a mobile phone, you will also need some quiet space where you can dedicate time to this travel opportunity.

To be successful, you should have a few skills to be considered for this role, but please don't assume you need everything on this list. If you feel the opportunity is worth pursuing, submit the information requested below, and let's have the conversation together. We will conduct personal interviews to determine who we'd like to invite to join the team.

• Proven experience as a traveler, with a valid passport.
• Excellent knowledge of computer systems, including email and CRM functionality
• Organizational and time management skills are critical
• Strong sales skills and commercial awareness are ideal
• Ability to interact, communicate, and negotiate effectively
