Regular Host Agencies and Caller Rejection

Podcast Five

In this podcast recorded on March 29, 2005, I discuss the regular host agency and some of the details about how you book travel for a client and then claim your commission. I discuss what it means to be an independent contractor working with your host agency. In the second segment I discuss a call I received from a lady interested in travelling to Hawaii. The caller went cold when she heard that she was dealing with a home based travel agent. I discuss how I put my frustration on my host agency's listserv and I read some of the constructive and helpful responses that I received.
