PlanNet Reps are NOT Travel Experts – and that's OK!
PlanNet Marketing Reps are amazing marketers – their job is to sell the InteleTravel ITA product. The Rep should have some knowledge about the product they sell, but they won't give specific directions for booking travel, earning travel commissions, or other travel related matters. If you buy a car from a car dealership the salesman can give you some basic information about the car, but they won't give you step by step instructions on changing the oil or fixing the transmission, because that isn't their job.
The InteleTravel Agent should know about booking travel, earning travel commissions, completing various levels of certification, etc. I know that many PlanNet Reps are ALSO InteleTravel Agents. Why? They see the value of the product they are selling. That doesn't mean that every person who is a Rep and an Agent is a travel expert or is booking travel actively for others. There are also some Reps who choose NOT to be Agents. There are also some Agents who choose to only sell travel and not pursue a Rep business with PlanNet Marketing. That is each person's choice – each person can choose to be a Rep only, an ITA (InteleTravel Agent) only, or both!
Reps - make sure you’re supporting your team members. Both Reps and Agents need your support, but in very different ways.
If you're a Rep who has sold some new ITAs and these Agents are looking for expert help and advice – make sure you help them get what they need. Connect them with an InteleTravel Ambassador or help them reach out to the expert staff at InteleTravel. Be really clear with these Agents that you are a Rep, and not a travel expert, but don't leave them hanging out there alone! InteleTravel offers amazing resources for their Agents – point them in the right direction to get the support they need.
If your downline Reps need help building, training, presenting, advertising, etc. – show them the steps to take to make their efforts successful. If you don’t know those steps – talk to your sponsor or your upline Director. There is always someone ready and willing to assist. As always, PlanNet Marketing’s fabulous S-Team (Support Team) is available to help too.
Whether you’re a travel expert or travel novice – you can still sell this amazing product, earn commissions, and grow a successful team. We’re all here to help. Success is worth the effort. You can do this!
