Travel Agents - Earn 10% Commission on Travel Phones
As a travel agent you can provide global travel phone rental as a value added service for your clients and earn 10% commission on both rental and usage (the process is similar to travel insurance).
- Your clients or you can order via fax, phone, or Internet.
- Before leaving on their trips, clients receive a small international cell phone, phone number, instructions, overseas battery charger, battery, carrying case, and return envelope.
- Upon returning, they simply mail the phone back with the provided envelope. Their credit card will be charged.
Rentals are through TravelCell, a New York-based company, that has been in business since 1995. I have been working with the company for over four years. They provide all customer support and rent phones for over 150 countries.
The company pays affiliate commissions on both rental and usage for global cell phones and for rental only on satellite phones monthly and includes a commission report listing the client, dates, rental, and usage. They handle all billing inquiries.
Note: Since TraveCell only pays commission on for rental on satellite phones, I am trying to locate another vendor that will pay commission on both.
After you register as an affiliate, you can request order forms imprinted with your agency name. In addition, you'll receive a website with your agency name. And, you don't pay one red cent for the forms or the website. As an example, look at my own webpage for Global Phone Wiz.
