Keep away from this company
Well, where do I start... Before I go into it, this isn’t someone that didn’t do the training, or didn’t put the work in, as some of the reviewers (who work for the company) are saying... This is someone who wanted to sell travel and was sold that the company had so many suppliers, Disney direct, sandals, the world is your oyster on who you can book with, you’re told the training is second to none! First of all You pay for all your training, and gain badges like dream maker, travel genius etc... that mean nothing to anyone outside of inteletravel.. the other training that is free, is actually a supplier doing a webinar which is basically telling you what they sell and how to book...because as we find out, not many agents who work in this shoddy company know how to book travel... They have 50 suppliers, consisting of 13 cruise lines, and let’s face it they have these because of the American side of the business, 7 tour partners, how many tour companies do you need... 2 long haul companies that you can’t talk to, TUI that only gives something like 3%... other agencies get 10...and pretty much the rest are no good without an ATOL... ahh yes that word, the ATOL that has supposedly been imminent since 2019... no way on this earth is this company getting that ATOL... the number of agents that are doing what they want, booking low cost airlines with their clients cards... packaging hotels and villas together, again using client cards, going direct to suppliers who aren’t on the back office and taking comms direct from the supplier...I don’t know how they think these agents are going to manage creating and using the ATOL correctly... I can imagine all sorts going wrong... Ambassadors... hahahha what a crock they are... one swanning around the world during a pandemic.. yeah that looks great for your business, and doing comparisons against hotel rooms whilst not actually comparing like for like...training her team alongside the other 2 ambassadors, who you never see in the official site doing training or even helping anyone... some ambassadors they are!!.. so again very much centred on who they have recruited... now there’s another thing, recruiting, we all know this isn’t supposed to be inteletravel.. this is plannet.. and intele agents selling travel are not supposed to endorse or let’s say brag on their travel site about the recruiting, but let’s face it Ona all the intele agents sites,talk about if you want to travel smarter, get in touch I’m building my team, no, you’re supposed to be selling travel, not recruiting... Compliance... I love that word, in this company there is none.... agents promoting on their sites and websites that they have atol and using the logo... promoting packages on their posts with low cost airlines... knowing they have booked through a bed bank and gone direct... oh but that’s ok cos they left 24 hours between...bragging that they can book with anyone, then finding out they can’t and they don’t get commissions... and let’s talk about the official page on Facebook, where you never get a straight answer, or an answer at all to a question, your question might not even make it to the page as it’s not been allowed... your comments deleted as they are deemed negative... they don’t like anything but positive pats on the backs for all those agents making bookings.... supposedly for the number of agents in the organisation and the amount they have booked, it’s not impressive, it equates to around 50£ per agent... Commissions you have to chase. 4 months after travel... and the shocking amount you pay in fees, MOR fees, admin fees, credit or debit card fees and then fees to get your money out of hyper wallet when you do get paid... When you work it out, it’s nowhere near what you are told, it’s max 10%, you get 70% of that minus all your fees... I do laugh when it finally hits home with some agents and that pops up on a post... where has all the commissions gone... The only people making money from this company is the company themselves... Unless of course you’re a rep and then you’re making money off everyone down line from you... I wouldn’t be calling an upline a queen... they are swanning around the world on your money, whilst you’re trying to make a living... and lulled into you’ll make more if you build a team, so your upline gets more money from you and you’re left working all the hours... It’s a shocking way to run a company... and if a public proper company with HR, change management etc was run like this, they would be shut down... the powers that be have lost control... they are a laughing stock in the industry... and not many want to work with them... Let’s face it they lost P&O within a week of having them, attraction world they lost and TUI went wayward for a while... Do not join this company...
