HOW TO HAVE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR HOST AGENCY
(…and how to realize OutsideAgentLink.com is your BEST choice!)

Because of that we feel we should do you a service while you research the different options in home-based travel and advise you of a few very important things to consider while comparing the companies that offer a home-based travel business: 

This is important to consider because you want to be sure you are working with the fully accredited agency as you obtain information, rather than an affiliate.  The affiliate is simply one person who has joined a company that focuses their attentions on recruiting new agents rather than helping those new agents to build a profitable travel business. The affiliate member will only be interested in "hooking" you to receive a referral fee.  Watch out for any AFFILIATE company attempting to RECRUIT you!  These affiliates are NOT accredited travel companies! They have no travel experience and can't offer you the assurance that your investment is in good hands.  Always look for the company you sign with to be fully-accredited through IATAN, ARC, CLIA and members of ASTA (The American Society of Travel Agents).  You can always contact ASTA for feedback and a host-agency referral (www.astanet.com) Remember, you're not looking for a MLM, you're looking for a true travel business!

2.  Is the company reputable and have a long-standing history in the HOST AGENCY business? 

There are only a few reputable companies out there that offer a home-based travel business.  Most are no name companies looking to increase their revenue while being unable to offer the training and infrastructure necessary to support an outside sales team.  OutsideAgentLink.com is a division of a financially solid, debt-free company that has been in business for over 21 years and hosting outside agents for over 15 years!  Our number one priority is our independent agents!

3.  MOST IMPORTANTLY - How are you being paid?

Does the company offer you’re your commission split INCLUDING payment on overrides?  If not, you are being offered a sub-standard compensation plan.  Override commissions are any commission percentages paid over the standard 10%......this is the case on almost all reservations.  Most companies offer you your split (usually only 50/50) on only 10% commission even if the vendor is paying more. The host agency keeps 100% of the override commission.  This is simply unfair to a hard-working home-based agent.  Unfortunately, new agents fall into this trap every day!  Don’t be misled:

Make sure you are being offered a commission compensation plan that is INCLUDING overrides! 

At OutsideAgentLink.com, we are proud to say we offer the BEST compensation plan in the industry today!! We have NO hidden costs and NO recurring monthly fees…EVER!!!!!  Your commission is complete....nothing is taken away and there are NO HIDDEN FEES!!

To be sure you are investing your hard-earned dollars in the right company, do your research!  Be sure they are fully accredited by IATAN and ARC and members in good-standing with ASTA (www.astanet.com).  We can assure you that OutsideAgentLink.com is rated high with ASTA and is fully accredited by the above mentioned organizations.  We are also part of the largest travel company in the world giving you the ULTIMATE assurance that you and your future clients are in good hands!
