What does a Host Agencies Average Sales Volume Mean?

When considering a partnership with a Host Travel Agency, the Host Agency’s Average Sales Volume is an important factor to consider for a variety of reasons. If the Host Agency has a lower Sales Volume but a lot of Independent Agents in their network, the math would dictate that the Travel Agents working with this particular Host Agency aren’t selling much volume. On the contrary, if a Host Agency has a high Sales Volume and a low number of Travel Agents working with them, those Agents would be selling a great volume, and thus making more money in their business. 

Why Does a Host Agency’s Sales Volume Matter?

Reviewing the Sales Volume of a prospective Host Agency is a great start to:

  1. Determine the size of the Host Agency
  2. Determine the success of the Host Agency
  3. Obtain an idea of the buying power of the Host Agency

In addition, applying a little research into the Host Agencies Sales Volume and Number of Independent Contractors can provide you a fantastic insight into the success of the Independent Agents working with this particular Host Travel Agency. For example:

$5,000,000 Average Sales Volume / 500 Independent Travel Agents = $10,000 in Average Independent Agent Sales

$50,000,000 Average Sales Volume / 500 Independent Travel Agents = $100,000 in Average Independent Agent Sales 

$250,000,000 Average Sales Volume / 500 Independent Travel Agents = $500,000 in Average Independent Agent Sales

As you can see, comparing the Average Sales Volume of a Host Agency and the Number of Independent Contractors can tell you quite a bit about the possible sales you may see as a Independent Agent working with a particular Host Travel Agency. It’s important to not only know what the possibilities of your success are but also to ensure that you are choosing the right Host Agency that fits your personal and business goals, aspirations and financial needs. 

What’s Right for YOU in a Host Travel Agency?

Considering the Average Sales Volume should be a high priority as you review and make your decision when partnering with a Host Travel Agency. There are Host Agencies for every kind of Independent Agent, from a smaller Host Agency with less Average Sales Volume and more a “family” feel to a large Host Travel Agency with huge Average Sales Volume and more of a “work” feel. It truly depends on YOUR goals and YOUR desires for your Travel Agency.
