Choose The Program That Fits Your Needs
Whether you’re an experienced agent, an agency owner interested in reducing overhead or
someone looking to learn the business, we
have a program for you.
Eliminate Unnecessary Overhead
Attention agency owners! You didn’t get in the travel business to
do ARC reports, pay rent and
deal with unproductive employees. Now you can move your business home, retain your clients
and top producers, affiliate with us and increase your profitability.
Maximize Your Time With Clients
It’s true, you don’t make money in travel until you actually sell
something. By affiliating with
MTravel.com you can spend more time consulting with your clients and building your business.
It all
results in increased loyalty and repeat business from happy
clients. Our program offers you
complete control over the entire
sales process with your clients.
Capitalize On Our Success
Montrose
Travel is a top 50 travel management company nationwide. With MTravel.com, you can
take advantage of the programs, supplier relationships, experienced staff and business
philosophies that
have made us successful. Our reputation in the industry and
financial
stability are unsurpassed.

Your Own Identity
As a home-based agent or agency, you retain your
own identity with your customers and are
considered a
“self-employed” independent contractor for tax purposes.
Secure Client List
Because you are
an independent contractor, your client list is your property and
will not be used
or sold. You control your list and your marketing.
Strong
Commissions
Share in all upfront leisure supplier commission overrides. Some companies share commissions
based on a 10% base commission, not us. You will enjoy a full complement of preferred
suppliers offering commissions up to 16%.
Affordable and Inclusive
We offer full support to home-based agents and our program is
one of the most affordable,
inclusive programs available today. We’ve bundled the services you need most and made them
available at one low annual price, rather than nickel-and-diming you monthly. Optional add-ons
are available should you desire them.
Sub-Agents
Expand your business
by recruiting your own sales force on independent contractors. Your agents will
have access to most of the same tools you have, including a private-labeled consumer
website. We pay you on their bookings. You pay them.

industry. It includes a comprehensive agent only website where you will find a complete on-
line booking engine for air, cars, hotels, cruises, tours/packages as well as a proprietary
dynamic
packaging tool to customize your own air, car, and/or hotel packages. You can build in
your own commission while saving your clients money on their travel. The system automatically
interfaces with our back end accounting system. The site also includes:
¦
On-line commission tracking

¦ Training
¦ Destination information
¦ Business building ideas

you on products).

Labeled Consumer Website At No Additional Cost

booking capabilities tracked back to you for commission payment. We encourage you to
register your own domain and have us point this site to your unique domain. Now you
can compete fare for fare with the top Internet sites.
Advance Your Travel Education
Take your education as far as you want to go. We provide
the most extensive library of on-line
content and training links available. In addition, you can participate in monthly teleconferences
on a variety of topics developed to help you maximize profits and increase your product
knowledge. You’ll also be eligible to go on “fams” (familiarization trips designed to educate you
on specific destinations and products).

Preferred
Suppliers
Because of our size and buying power,
we have negotiated many of our preferred supplier
arrangements directly with our key suppliers. In addition, we supplement these suppliers with
our membership in Ensemble Travel (formerly GIANTS), a leisure travel consortium. MTravel.com
is one of the largest members of Ensemble Travel.
Group
Expertise and Support
Take advantage of our expertise in
finding, negotiating and executing all types of group travel,
from leisure groups to meetings and incentives. You even retain all the complimentary travel
earned and can build in an additional mark-up to increase your profitability. Our special Group
Section on the agent site reveals real stories and insights from those that have made over
$15,000+ by organizing just one group!
Extensive
Blocked Cruise Space
Each year, MTravel.com blocks and
deposits hundreds of special sailings for you to sell into.
We work with a variety of preferred cruise lines and offer value-added amenities to you for your
FIT and group clients that they normally wouldn’t have access to. This product will give you the
competitive edge that you need to close cruise sales.
Proven
Corporate Program
Our program is designed to compete
with the mega agencies and, when we’ve gone head to
head, we have emerged victorious. Now you can be confident making any new corporate account
presentation.
