The main problem with main stream Travel Agents and many travel representatives in general is, the individual you speak to has rarely been to the country you wish to visit, and if they have, a fleeting visit hardly gives local knowledge, add this to their commission rates being only one or two percent of the actual booking, few would disagree that there is a lot of room for improvement.

Over the following pages you will see how we will develop many travel advances failsafe accounting methods, cutting edge organizational tools, an amazing website, and a good supply of enquiries to FaceBook Travel Representatives, trained and recruited via the Tutorial Game on page1.

2a. FaceBook Travel Reps

FaceBook Travel representatives are peoples people, who know and actively enjoy their Town or City, for many a form of supplemental income and a chance to meet new people.

Business is without cost; all the tools are provided for our reps to work from home or a shared office. There is no need for marketing costs; enquiries come from a number of sources, travel agents, other reps, tour operators, S-World, FaceBook Travel Agents, FaceBook friends, or friends of friends, or friends of friends of friends even. More than enough to make 4 bookings or so a month and put a few extra thousand dollars in there pockets. And if they are genuine peoples people, work becomes fun.

I’d like to illustrate the finance incentive for a FaceBook Travel Representative, in comparison to normal Travel Reps.

A FaceBook travel representative, will receive 10% of any booking they make directly to the public, and 5%for a booking from an agency. Now that may not sound like a great deal, but compared to a sales person in a travel agency who often only get 1% or 2%, and you see a big difference, such a difference in fact, a lot of people currently employed at travel agencies and tour operators, will jump ship to FaceBook Travel very quickly, but more often in FaceBook Travel Agents roles.

Making 5 sometimes 10 times as much money, gives our reps 5 maybe 10 times more time to attend to the clients, in an ideal world taking clients on personally guided tours, hikes, enjoy trips to the Wine lands, whatever is the best experience. On the other hand if the clients wish to party, an ideal FaceBook Travel Rep will go with them, and invite them to some exclusive parties, a yacht party if possible.

Obviously different people have different passions and are of different ages, so clients that wish to book a holiday can look at the passions and advantages of one FaceBook Rep over another, if the clients, likes nature and long walks on the beach and hikes in the mountains, they would choose an rep that likes the same, and the rep will then show them a few trails. If a family has a young child, they would be advised to go for a rep that also has a young child, so they know the best places for children and can babysit. If one wished a party beach holiday better to pick an aspiring model or actress as they will know, and more to the point invite you to the best places to go.

If the client is a private person, wishes no fuss, just someone there for emergencies and advise, they can indicate this in their privacy setting on there client details booking suit This immediately changes the order of which agents are presented to the client in the particular region, suggesting more serious reps, maybe a lawyers or doctors wife for example, just there for emergencies, and very capable of handling emergencies.

As mentioned in Page 3 FaceBook Travel Service Ratings after the guest has stayed, they are asked to rank both their accommodation and representation, simply “Could Try Harder” “I had a great Time” or “I felt like a VIP” FaceBook Travel Reps that repeatedly get “I felt Like a VIP” will get more enquiries and larger percentages from agents, over time, we are looking for all FaceBook Travel Clients to be clicking “I felt Live a VIP”

2b. FaceBook Travel Agents

Also taught in the tutorial game is how to be a FaceBook Agent, the specific difference being, the agent will not necessarily meet and spend time with guests, rather works with a FaceBook rep, that has no passion or flare for sales and admin. FaceBook Agents will need to completely master all the tools and advances we provide, often they will be people who are already working in the travel industry, who see the opportunity to either, just make more money or become a FaceBook Travel entrepreneur.

In the long run, it is our intention for our FaceBook Agents to create a global network, taking significant market share from existing tour operators and travel agencies.

2c. FaceBook Travel Reps, for SME Tour Operators and Major Travel Agents

Whilst the long term objective is to have the public booking direct with FaceBook Travel Reps or Agents, in the short term, we need to team up with travel agents, tour operators, and accommodation venues themselves. One way we will do this is covered in page 7. FaceBook Travel Agents and Reps Free Websites

Another, the simplest is to allow the FaceBook Travel Reps to work directly with the current tour operators, and travel agencies, our reps become there local reps, on the ground. In a lot of cases, the travel company in particular, will already be paying between 10% and 20% for what is known as a ground handler, basically just a local tour operator. So paying 10%, for a more active and accommodating FaceBook Rep makes common sense for them.

If you have been following the math, you will notice an inconsistency, in that it was mentioned that FaceBook reps only get a 5% commission if working with an agent. The extra 5% of course is for FaceBook, whilst FaceBook will usually make between 10% and 20% per booking, 5% is better than nothing, and the more the agencies submerse themselves with FaceBook representation and technology, many will become full partners, become FaceBook Partner Agencies themselves.

Working with FaceBook Travel Reps will become a hall mark of good customer service for Tour operators and Travel Agents across the globe.

2d. FaceBook Travel Agents for corporate accounts

Whilst my knowledge in setting up corporate accounts such as “Whichever Travel Agency handles Coca Cola’s Travel” is limited, considering what we have to offer I can see no reason why our FaceBook Travel Agents cant pitch for these accounts and win.
