Most Independent Travel Agents Hand Away Money, Without Realizing Why
Why Are You Splitting Commission If You Do All the Work?
A Travel Agent’s Wake-Up Guide to Ownership and Keeping What You Earn
This guide is for travel agents who are already booking, selling, and serving clients, but have never been taught how to evaluate whether their commission split actually makes sense.
This is not a beginner's guide.
It’s a clarity guide.
Before You Split Another Commission, Ask This Question
Do you clearly understand what you’re receiving in return?
• You book the clients
• You manage the relationships
• You close the sales
Yet a portion of every commission is routed away, often without a clear understanding of what you’re receiving in return.
This isn’t about effort.
It’s about structure.
