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/Agent only, or both (or neither, obviously).
Reps – make sure you’re supporting your team of Reps and offering support as you are able to anyone who has purchased an at-home travel agency from you.
If you aren’t a travel expert and you have new Agents who have purchased an ITA from you who are looking for expert help and advice – make sure you help them get what they need. Connect them with another Rep on your team who is a Rockstar Agent as well, or connect them with the expert staff at InteleTravel.
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!
