Dead Thread?
I am curious to find out what solution paid the best commission, while offering the best support; backend, training, CRM and marketing.
We are looking at the Home Based-Independant option as well as an exit plan for my wife from her current career. We are well travelled and might as well expand our passion and family/friend planning experience!
I think you are correct in saying CruiseShipCentres commission is diismal in comparison, while still requiring a start-up fee, annual technology fee, and maybe even a monthly fee?
40% commission split...
= Commission on average cruise ($3,000 booking value) = $180
= Commission on average
DCL ($3,000 booking value) = $144
Therefore...
To make $30K a year with a product/pricing mix = 75% Standard Cruise Line/25%
Disney Cruise lines...
you would need to book 125 Standard Cruises and 52 Disney Cruises. Tall order, especially starting out.
If anyone can find 70-80% commission split with minimal start-up and onging costs, let us know!
