Be a Travel Agent – Join Coffee Can Travel

Únete a nuestro equipo, español

Yeah it’s a weird name for a travel agency, we know.

We are always looking for new people that have a passion for travel.  Unlike most travel agencies that require so many bookings a month and are looking for people that can do this full time, we are happy to have Disney Fans, Theme Park Enthusiast, Cruise Lovers and just people that want a side gig.  Sure if you are all-in to be a travel agent, and ready to do this as your full time gig, we are here to help you make that happen.  But starting out with 2-3 vacation books a year to get your feet wet is what we are all about.  Grab a slip of a great mild roast coffee and call up a friend to help them plan a vacation for some extra cash on the side or become a million dollar vacation travel consultant.  It’s up to you.

It’s really easy to get started.  We just need some additional details and have included a form below.  Also we want to be up front about what selling travel is like and what we think it takes to be successful at this.

Here’s what you need to be successful

• You have traveled to and have experienced Walt Disney World as a guest.
• You need to have a group of people from the start that are good prospects to book with you.
• People that do well are leaders in their community, church, are involved in community activities, team sports, and are the go to person for questions.
• You will need to have a computer, internet, phone and good communication skills.
• You must be a self starter to get going, you have to have an action plan to let people know why they should book a vacation with you.  How are you going to get out there to your community to start selling vacations?
• You also need to think outside the box on how to meet new people, doing school events, online lives, traveling to vacation destinations and posting about it and directly telling friends and family about your travels and how you can get them there too.
• You should already have a list of future clients started so you can hit the ground running.

About Coffee Can Travel

Coffee Can Travel was started by past Disney cast members.  We have run travel agencies that specialize in Disney and Universal Family vacations for 14 years.  We wanted to start a travel agency for Disney fans that are just looking for a part time gig.  You don’t have to dedicate 40 hours a week every week to be a travel consultant at Coffee Can Travel.  It’s great if you decide to make this your full time passion, but we are fine with travel consultants that book just a few vacations a year.

Why be a travel agent?

We will give you access a free training class to get you up to speed quickly so you can start booking vacations right away.This can be your full time passion or just a hobby.  But you should actively be contacting people you know to help them plan their vacations.

What types of vacations can I sell?

We are a full service travel agency but we want to have you focus on just a few things:  Disney Destinations, Royal Caribbean and Virgin Voyages, and Universal Orlando Resort Vacations.   That being said you should pick a destination to specialize in so you are not overwhelmed and trying to learn everything at one time.  If you love Disney, then Disney World, Disney Cruise, and Disneyland is a great place to start.  If you cruise often then maybe Royal Caribbean or Virgin Voyages is a good niche for you.  Do you travel to places that offer allergy free dining and are a lead contact in  a community that needs help planning trips with children with allergies or special needs? If so then you can focus on allergies or special need travel.  Over time as your clients want to travel to different destinations we have those destinations available too.

How do I get clients?

Pixie vacations has social media accounts, podcasts, videos, and is in the news.  We get leads that are given to our experienced Pixie agents, but you will be using your circles of friends, community, and social groups are you a part of to get clients.  It’s important that you take a proactive roll in getting with friends and people in your social circles so you can help them plan their next vacation.  After the first vacation, get with them for what their bucket list is for future travels.  Also ask for referrals and grow your clients this way.

What does it cost to be a travel agent?

We offer free training to get you started quickly.  There is no yearly fee to be a travel consultant.  We do however have a Coffee Can Travel email address that you will pay to have with Google that is $8 a month from Google, and also we use a booking engine software and you pay the booking engine directly for the tool.  It’s $10 a month for the basic or $25 a month for the advanced booking engine. We are not here to charge you a monthly or yearly fee to be a travel consultant, but these two low cost expenses (email and booking tool) are necessary tools to complete your job and book clients.  Your bookings commissions will easily cover the $25 a month booking engine software fee and $8 Gmail cost that they charge you.
