Model Agent Program
Sponsored by ASTA and Best Western

The formula for being an outstanding travel agent is simple—you must demonstrate your value to the supplier and the consumer so they will both support you as the preferred distribution channel.

Getting the right ingredients to make that formula work for you is simple, too. All you need is the Model Agent Program.

The Model Agent Program (MAP II) is a comprehensive educational course that will teach you how to succeed in today’s information-intensive society by modifying your approach to sales, marketing, technology and customer relations.

Flat out, MAP II is an essential resource for travel agents of all experience levels. Successful businessmen never stop evaluating their skills and the value they bring to the table, and neither should you.

If you’re ready to maximize each and every facet of your skills so that you can make more money and waste less time, then keep reading!

Expertise, Not Information, is More Crucial for Success

Travelers now have access to massive amounts of information that were once limited exclusively to travel agents.

You must show clients that you’re the expert who can create a travel experience
they cannot on their own, no matter how much information they acquire.

MAP II is a great step for you to develop your strengths and acquire new skills
so that you can:

#1	Determine which business model is best suited for your skill set
#2	Promote your individual skills to consumers
#3	Improve your sales techniques both online and off
#4	Embrace the power of the Internet
#5	Make the most of supplier relations

Each improvement in those five areas will help you stand taller than your competitors and offer more value to each and every traveler who walks through your door.
