Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to our most commonly asked questions below!
Can I start booking right away after joining?
You can start booking after your online training is completed with that specific supplier. (When you're a "Certified" Travel Agent!) We ask you to finish Section 1 of Yeti Travel training before registering with any suppliers, and encourage you to finish the remaining sections of your Yeti Travel training, as well as complete the supplier's booking training. But you are only required to complete the supplier’s internal training program before booking any clients. This typically takes 2-3 days, but varies based on your time constraints.
Can I book other companies outside of my required 3?
Yes you can. Yeti Travel works with a wide world of possibilities when it comes to suppliers! We never want our agents to get overwhelmed, so we recommend new agents start with a few core suppliers, but you can absolutely register for more than just those three- including while you go through your training. So if you have a client ready to book a Sandals honeymoon, you don't need to wait too long!
Can I book my own travel and get commission?
ABSOLUTELY!!! In fact, booking your own travel is the best way to learn the in's and out's of your travel agent process. What client is going to be better to practice on than yourself? And yes, you absolutely can earn commission for booking your own travel. Just put in your name as your client and go through every step of the booking process like normal.
Do you have a required minimum booking amount?
No. Agents can book as much or as little as they want each year and remain an active Yeti Travel agent. However, to keep your CLIA benefits (more on that later!), you'll need to book at least $500 in travel every year.
More FAQs
What names can I use for my agency?
You can come up with any name you want for your agency! Just keep in mind trade-marked names and titles are not allowed. This would include using the name Disney, Mickey, Minnie or similar. Disney names, characters and titles are copyrighted. You also do not have to have a fancy name - just your own name and “Travel Agent” is totally acceptable. If you have a question about this please contact us.
Do I need to include Yeti Travel in my agency name or marketing?
You can be as closely or distantly affiliated with us as you would like in your marketing. If you want to include our logo in your email signature, business card, website, etc, you absolutely may- but it is not required. Do what makes you feel comfortable and confident, as long as you do not claim to represent Yeti Travel.
Will Yeti Travel provide me with an email address or a website?
No. We recommend you create a travel based email to keep things organized, but do not require that. If your personal inbox is already beautifully organized, go on and keep it as that! Many agents will use a free email service, like Gmail, Yahoo, etc. And it's easy to update your email yourself...if you're ever struggling, just let audrey@yetitravel know and I can help you update your email.
We also do not provide or require you to have a website. Many agents who choose to create a website use free website builders or hire a web designer. Some suppliers, including Disney, provide tools that you can easily use to promote travel on a website.
Should I create a website?
You should have some kind of landing page for your clients online. For some agents, a website is the right answer. For others, they only need a social media page or an email address. This is a personal decision that is up to how you want to run your business and what kind of clients you want to attract.
Is the $100 sign-up an annual fee?
No. It is a one time fee paid when you join the team. It’s an admin fee to cover the cost of registration with our suppliers. This fee also covers your E&O insurance and all of your training.
The most common fees new agents pay are to CLIA and to register for a Florida Seller of Travel license (more training on these two things will follow), and are not required. Any other costs you incur are completely up to you (like business cards, branded T-shirts, FAM trips, etc!), and usually comes down to your business style.
