Join Our Growing Team - Travel is Booming!
POSITION OVERVIEW:
As a Travel Advisor at TravelPerks, you will help clients plan and manage all aspects of their vacations, creating exceptional travel experiences. We are looking for driven, entrepreneurial individuals to join our award-winning team. This role offers uncapped commissions, travel perks, a solid benefits package, and a supportive, team-oriented sales environment.
The position is an in-office-only sales-exempt employment opportunity handling clients, mainly by phone and email, who contact our office. You are not responsible for lead generation, only offering our services to those who contact us and servicing those clients. Travel Advisors meet and exceed personal targets by initiating interactions with past guests and prospects interested in taking a vacation.
We provide training and ongoing support, but your desire to make this a career, not a job, will bring you the most significant financial rewards. The longer you stay in the career, the easier it becomes to exceed your desired salary target.
IDEAL CANDIDATES ARE:
- Passionate About Travel: Excited to discuss and sell vacation experiences, with excellent listening skills to understand guest needs.
- Goal-Oriented & Self-Motivated: Driven to build a loyal customer base through calls, emails, referrals, networking, social media, and sales events.
- Excellent at Time Management & Multi-Tasking: Capable of managing calls, emails, leads, and guest communications effectively.
- Detail-Oriented: Committed to accuracy, ensuring that every detail of a client’s vacation is correct.
- Problem Solvers: Focused on finding solutions and providing outstanding service.
OUR OFFICE:
Established in 2004, we have been winning sales and service awards since our first year. At TravelPerks, we are more than a travel agency – we help the employees of some of America's greatest companies realize their personal vacation dreams, help non-profit organizations find new fund-raising revenue, and help our local clients have a trusted travel agency to work with.
We believe the best way to be of value is to provide outstanding SAVINGS ∙ SERVICE ∙ SATISFACTION to each client. We believe in the power of relationships and that being of value to our clients, our suppliers, and our employees is how relationships are built and sustained. Our office is currently open seven days a week from 7:45am to 6pm, and you must be able to work any assigned schedule.
WE OFFER:
- Uncapped, Performance-based Compensation: Base hourly wage of $23/hr during training, followed by a base salary of $54,000/yr plus bonuses and incentives once out of training.
- Travel Benefits: Enjoy and experience discounted and even free vacations for you and your family.
- Flexible Schedule: We provide a supportive and flexible work-enviorment in a two-way environment.
- Benefits Package: Paid Time Off, a 401K program with up to 3.5% company match, disability insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, a QSEHRA to provide health insurance, a history of EOY bonuses, and a supportive and progressive work environment.
- Professional Development: Successful Travel Advisors earn funds to cover relevant professional development reimbursement for travel and business-related courses/activities, including trips.
There is a very real learning curve in the first year, as selling all types of vacations to all corners of the world requires mastering a great deal of information. As you sharpen your skills and build your book of clients, your earnings will grow, and the growth will be easier and easier.
