Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How are advisors paid?
A: We pay once the client has traveled and the supplier pays us. Our initial commission split is 70-30. That means 70% of the commission goes to the advisor and 30% is kept in-house. As you grow your business, the commission split goes to 75%, and then 80%.
Q: Do you cover Errors and Omissions Insurance?
A: We cover most advisors’ Errors and Omissions, except for some exceptions. If you are an LLC or already have a current business, we typically cannot protect you with that. But most of our advisors are individuals without an LLC and would be covered.
Q: Would I need a business license?
A: You may need an actual business license in your local area, which you’ll need to check out. You check that with your local government telling them that you’re an independent contractor with an agency and you’re just making sure you don’t need it. Typically, you do not need one.
Q: Do advisors have to take additional training?
A: All of our advisors complete the Disney College of Knowledge training program as part of their onboarding, as well as renewing the training annually. We provide periodic training to ensure that everyone is a true expert and stays current with the knowledge required in this industry.
We also have a non-Disney side of our business. Suppose you want to move on to sell things like cruises or all-inclusives. We do have that option. It is no additional charge.
Q: What systems do you have to help the advisors grow and build their business?
A: Support is huge with the libraries that have all the information for them to use and with each other. We also have an in-house team to support everybody, and they have their designated areas of expertise. We have emails that typically go out once a week dealing with industry news, what’s going on in our business, top sales, marketing and sales ideas. We also have calls throughout the month on a variety of topics. All our new advisors have a monthly call with someone on the team for the first six months.
Q: What templates and resources are available to advisors?
A: Support systems are a big thing. We have everything from up to the minute itinerary plans, templates, forms, invoicing. Automation systems are big for us as well. Everything that we can automate has been automated and our outside advisors can take advantage of this as part of being on our team.
Q: Will this be a lot of work? What do I have to do manually and what is automated?
A: Systems like this allow the agent to grow and build their business. Automation systems are in place to make the process easier for our advisors. A thank you letter telling them what to expect, travel insurance, and other communications are all sent out from our system but they look like they came from the advisor. This way, the advisor doesn’t have to worry about waking up in the middle of the night remembering they forgot to send an email.
Q: Does this training program include leads for my business?
A: We embrace the wisdom of the Chinese proverb: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” At The Curated Travel Collection, our approach is all about empowerment. We operate in the background, providing our advisors with the essential tools, resources, and knowledge they need to effectively market themselves to their desired clientele. This strategy ensures that you’re not just reaching out blindly but connecting with individuals with whom you can truly resonate. As a result, we don’t just hand out leads to advisors; instead, we support them in their own lead-generation efforts.
Q: What technology is required once I sign my contract as an advisor?
A: The only required technology that may cost extra is Microsoft Word, as most of our documents require Word for formatting. All of our training is completed in Google Classroom, and you will be issued a Gmail account once you have signed a contract. You will also need a Dropbox account, but we do our best to keep the storage low, so the free version is sufficient. While additional technologies can be added later to improve efficiency, they are not required.
Q: Are there any required additional fees to be an advisor with The Curated Travel Collection?
A: The only required fee is our monthly support fee of $30, which applies to all advisors. This fee helps us provide essential tools and resources, including Tern Lite (for enhanced reporting, sales, and commission tracking), direct deposit, access to our support team, a professional email address, E&O insurance coverage, and ongoing training and development opportunities. This support structure ensures you have what you need to run a successful and sustainable business.
There is a $5 monthly discount available for those who opt into Tern Premium (Additional subscription required)
Q: What sets The Curated Travel Collection apart from other agencies?
