Travel Advisor Reviews

“I have been a travel agent for 5 years and was not always the best at the financial and record keeping side of the business. I wish I had this course back then! Although I have gotten better, this course gave me so much valuable information and ways to continue to improve in that aspect. So, even for established agents, there is still a lot to learn. The lessons as well as the included documents and spreadsheets are so helpful, and will be your best friend when preparing for tax time. As for new agents, this course is a no brainer! Get started on the right track from the beginning! Not only do you learn how to do taxes, but there is a gold mine of other financial and business information that will build the foundation for a successful business!”

FAQ

  • Is this course right for me?

    Most likely, YES! This course is designed to provide new travel advisors as well as those existing travel advisors the knowledge and confidence needed to take control of the tax and finance side of their business. The first two lessons of this course are completely free and outline what is covered and who will benefit most from this course.

  • What is all covered in this course?

    The course cirriculum section above outlines all the topics covered in this course. Be sure to click "see more" as their are more topics than those listed below. When you sign in and start the free intro lessons you will also see the full curriculum. In addition to the lessons, this course also includes several downloads, cheatsheets as well as access to the Tax Guide.

  • I have a tax preparer or accountant, do I still need this course?

    Ultimately, the responsibility for the tax and finance side of your business falls on you. It is imperative that you have a fundamental understanding of the tax and finance topics as they relate to your business. While someone may prepare your returns or do your accounting, you are the one signing at the end of the year stating the information is accurate and correct.

  • What if the course is terrible?

    I get it! You don't always know what you'r getting with a course and you work hard for each dollar you make. The last thing I want is for you to spend your hard earned dollars and not be satisfied with your purchase. I have priced the course well below market value and have been told to increase my prices as the information is so worth so much more. I keep my course price low as I want it to be accessible to all travel advisors, especially those new to the industry when money is tight. If however, you are going through the course and do not feel it was the right purchase, I will refund your full purchase price. All I ask is that you have a conversation with me to help me improve the course.

  • How long do I have access?

    You will have unlimited access to the course materials and any updates.

  • I have another question before I purchase....

    I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Please email me at [email protected]
