I'm in southeast GA between Savannah, gA and Jacksonville, FL, if I can find a mentor to help with marketing ideas, how to capture and find new clients and they've become successful in their business would be a very good resource for me.

I think there are quite a few that offer a 90% plan, TPI and Nexion have been mentioned. I know Partners in Travel and GTM does as well. Probably others. And don't go just by price alone. Ask around about any that you are interested in and see wha...

Tim, I believe the "I have 500 bookings in my draw" was originally a post from Jason Coleman. I think Mike was using that statement along with the ones above it in his original post to make his point of, "Am I just a coward or are many of these po...

Not everyone uses their websites so you have to ask for one. Call Chad and he'll get it started. That usually takes a couple of weeks because its done by Revelex. But don't let that hold you up!! You can book without that.
Barbi Cooper commented on Denyse H Turner's group 'Outside Agents'8 hours ago
Hey everyone! Thanks for pointing me here Denyse. It will be good to chat with other OA's. I'm just getting set up with them, and waiting for my website to be set up. Any idea how and when that happens?

This group is for those agents who are with Outside Agents (Cruises and Tours Unlimited). Would like to know who we are and network.

Congrats Jason. I sometimes think you make very controversial remarks, but I guess I am the one who should learn from your attitude. Apparently, you have succeeded in doing things that many of us can only aspire to. I thank you for sharing your es...
