Am I ready to go it alone? How will I manage my time and stay motivated? Do I need to create a business plan? What about my income? These are concerns everyone has when they become self-employed, whether they’re Travel Counsellors or not. But, when becoming a Travel Counsellor, you can rely on the friendly faces of our New Franchise team, our superstar trainers and experienced Business Development gurus to guide you from day one of your journey with Travel Counsellors. But don’t just take it from us, here’s why some of our newest Travel Counsellors never felt like they were going it alone…
Emma Otter – Travel Counsellor since January 2017 – Return To Travel
The recruitment process was easy and stress-free; in fact, it took less than six weeks from my initial one-to-one to my trading start date! Ashley Butler from the New Franchise team was always on hand to answer any of my questions and I knew I had made the right decision as soon as I came to the Head Office. I’m delighted to be part of the Travel Counsellors family now!
Gary Wilson – Travel Counsellor since March 2017 - Academy
I found the recruitment process to be very slick and personable. Personable because it wasn’t just about email correspondence as I had many calls and attended a ‘Discovery Day’ and further one-to-one in Manchester. There was no hard sell by Travel Counsellors all of the staff that I have encountered have been very friendly and have a passion for the company. I have been specifically impressed with the comprehensive information provided around my training and the whole process has been made simple by Travel Counsellor colleagues and their professional approach to welcoming new starters.
Jen Crowe – Travel Counsellor since April 2017 - Leisure
Having been in the travel industry for 24 years now, I knew what I was looking for when I began my search on how I could work independently whilst having the support of a larger company to help me compete with the big market leaders. I was delighted when I found Travel Counsellors and have been impressed with every Travel Counsellor staff member I have met since beginning my journey. Hannah Wilkinson from the New Franchise team has hand held me as much or as little as I required, displaying patience and answering every single question (and I had plenty) along the way. I truly felt like I was as important as the first ever Travel Counsellor to join the company - and that is down to Hannah!
We offer our Travel Counsellors a whole world of support, so you can guarantee you will be in safe hands every step of the way: from your first enquiry, to getting all the info you need, helping you make the decision and then welcoming you for your training and helping you through your first days, weeks and months as a Travel Counsellor.
Karina Bawler joined us in March 2017 through our Travel Academy, with no previous experience in travel. We caught up with Karina during the first week of her 32-week training programme...
