Travel agent earnings are the fuel of your business. However it is you chose to run that business, those earnings are stoking the flames, funding the necessities, and providing the profits that allow you to make that business your living.
So it’s probably quite obvious that your travel agent earnings are essential to your business’ survival. Anything that needs doing, will at some point require funds, and it’s no surprise that, as a result, travel business owners want to save those earnings to put into the areas most important to them.
None of this is even exclusive to the travel industry so far. All businesses needs funds, and every business is going to prioritise putting those funds into different areas in order to build the business that matters to them.
So then, the big question is, if these travel agent earnings are so important, why are you giving so much away to your consortium?
Why Some Businesses Are Giving Commission Away
This is a very different answer for many travel businesses. Ultimately, the support that a consortium can provide can have a huge impact on a travel business.
Some travel businesses don’t want full control because many aspects can be overwhelming. Some travel businesses need that extra marketing support when they’re just starting out. Some travel businesses just need some solid financial protection. For all these reasons and many more, a lot of travel business owners give away a large amount of their travel agent earnings in exchange for peace of mind.
This sacrifice can be incredibly large though. Some travel businesses are giving away up to 70% of their commission on each bookings. You may even be one of those businesses.
Working so hard for your business just to lose more than half of your profit can be heartbreaking, even if it feels necessary. Fortunately, with PTS, it’s not even optional.
How You Could Keep 100% of Your Travel Agent Earnings with PTS
Here are the facts: you work hard for your commission, your business wouldn’t exist without you, and when your customer pays for that holiday, they are paying for your services, not the services of the consortium taking a percentage of your commission.
Those facts are the reason that we at PTS wholeheartedly believe that whatever support you need, your profit should stay in your pocket. While we do take small transaction fees per booking to fund our own services, we do not take a percentage of those travel agent earnings that are so important to fueling your business.
You are in control of your business, it is your ideas that make it the unique service it is, so where those profits are distributed should be in your hands.
Of course, there is more to choosing a support system than just how much of your profit your are giving away. If you want to find out if our support is the right fit for your needs, check out this article, or get in touch by emailing hellopts@protectedtrustsevices.com or calling 0207 190 9988.
But first, let us make this a little bit more simple.
It’s all well and good to say that you’re giving away a percentage of your travel agent earnings somewhere else, and 0% with us, but what does the difference actually look like for you?
