The Travel Franchise flew 50 of its franchisees to Fuerteventura in March to enjoy the travel company’s exclusive five-day Millionaire’s Retreat, included as part of the company’s most popular Elite franchise package.
Led by co-founders Paul Harrison and Steve Witt, the event, unique to The Travel Franchise and its customer-facing brand Not Just Travel, offers intensive training into how to skyrocket sales as a homeworking travel consultant.
During the day workshops included tips on cruising, getting referrals and repeat customers, business planning and sales techniques, while brand ambassador, TV-star Hayley Sparkes gave advice on social media.
In their spare time consultants could explore TUI’s Magic Life resort overlooking a sweeping sandy beach on Jandia, Fuerteventura, and chat to representatives from TUI who were on-hand to answer questions and join in the fun during cocktail evenings and other social events.
Paul Harrison, co-founder of The Travel Franchise said: “As we recruit members from outside the travel industry, we plough significant resources into turning them into self-starting entrepreneurs and travel experts as quickly as possible. Our unique retreats abroad generate a return of investment several times over – they’re a springboard to success and many franchisees say they’re worth the franchise fee alone!”
Franchisee Pauline Luzha, said: “I have been blown away. The wealth of training and knowledge that I have gained is phenomenal, not just from the founders, but also from my supportive and helpful colleagues. To anyone considering joining the company, I would say don’t hesitate, it’s the best thing that I’ve ever done.”
Another franchisee, Dawn Carney, booked a few cruises whilst on the trip despite a jammed-full schedule of events.
“I was so motivated that instead of exploring the area on the final afternoon, I utilised the time to put one of the sales’ strategies into action on the last day. This led to the successful sale of two cruise bookings on MSC and P&O Cruises, helping me achieve a significant milestone in my business,” said Dawn.
