Success as a new travel agent doesn’t happen overnight, but having access to the right tools and support can help you grow faster and avoid common mistakes.
Here are three exclusive resources that help a new KHM Travel Group agent build a strong foundation for their business.
#1 – Online Education
Education is the first step for a new agent just starting their journey in travel. Our interactive video lessons and resources aren’t just standard information you’ll find anywhere. This exclusive educational content was created by our in-house Education Team based on their 50+ years of experience selling travel and working with clients. They understand this industry can be overwhelming at first, so they break down the most important things you need to know into different “Destinations.” Strategically ordered, these Destinations help you grasp the basics first, then build your education with confidence.
What’s in Destination 1 of our Learning Management System (LMS)?
- Basics of owning and operating a travel agency
- How and where to find clients
- Beginner features in myTravelCRM™ (more CRM education is in later Destinations too!)
- Qualifying your clients
- The booking process
- Different travel components
- Trip research and quote preparation
- Earning commissions
#2 – Welcome Aboard Webinar
Held once a month in the evening, our Welcome Aboard webinars are the perfect introduction to becoming a travel agent with us. During this session, we walk new agents through our Agent Portal, resources, and helpful reminders. Being in this supportive environment with fellow new agents creates a safe space to ask questions, share excitement, and gain firsthand advice from our team. Community and support are essential during all stages of your agent journey, but they’re especially helpful during your first weeks.
#3 – Boot Camp 1.0
At our Boot Camp 1.0 event, you’ll learn directly from our team and top supplier partners through hands-on sessions. Our suppliers understand this group is just getting started, so presentations are tailored specifically to new agents. Boot Camp is where you can feel comfortable sharing your challenges and practicing your skills. This is also a chance for you to connect with fellow agents who are at similar places in their journey. Many of the friendships formed at Boot Camp 1.0 continue for years after the event!
With flexible attendance options, Boot Camp is offered in person at our office in Ohio for the full networking experience or online via livestream, where you can watch sessions live and ask questions through our chat.
These three resources are just the beginning. Beyond education and events, you’ll gain access to a dedicated team. Whether you’’e brand-new to the industry or have a few years behind you, you’ll have our team by your side. Available via phone call, email, or live chat, we even offer one-on-one coaching for more in-depth guidance based on your unique business goals.
