Discover the best of both worlds with Travel Counsellors

When you join Travel Counsellors, you'll experience the best of both worlds — the autonomy of running your own business, paired with the support you’d receive if you were in an employed role.

In this blog post, we'll explore how Travel Counsellors can help you achieve your entrepreneurial dreams while providing the support you need to thrive. It’s time to experience the perfect blend of independence and support.

The freedom to be your own boss

Becoming a Travel Counsellor means taking control of your career. You set your own full-time hours, define your business goals, and build your own customer base. This level of autonomy allows you to balance work with personal commitments, ensuring a healthier work-life balance that works for both you and your customers. Imagine working from anywhere in the world, with the flexibility to adapt your schedule as needed – that’s exactly what you can look forward to as a Travel Counsellor.

The backing of one of the most trusted names in travel

While independence is a significant advantage of running your own travel business, having the backing of a reputable brand like Travel Counsellors is invaluable. Our 30-year history means we have unrivalled buying power with suppliers all around the world – resulting in an almost-endless product portfolio that will help you attract and retain customers more effectively.

Comprehensive training and development

While you’re very welcome to take control of your own learning and development, we appreciate that when you’re running a business, upskilling isn’t always at the forefront of your mind.

That’s why we have a jam-packed calendar of training events that you can take advantage of – including ‘takeover days’ on a particular destination or theme, marketing webinars, opportunities to go on educational trips, and bespoke events led by our suppliers (many of which are exclusive for Travel Counsellors).

In addition to the above, you’ll also have access to our e-learning platform, Discover, which hosts a wealth of online courses to further boost your business and product knowledge.

Performance and wellbeing support

Working for yourself can be isolating, but as a Travel Counsellor, you’ll never feel alone. Not only will you be part of caring community of over 2,000 franchisees, you’ll also have a dedicated Relationship Manager who’ll work with you on a one-to-one basis to coach you and give you any wellbeing support that you need. After all, if you’re not OK, it’s unlikely your business will be. Your health and happiness is our genuine concern and priority – so although you’re working for yourself, you won’t be working by yourself.

The technology to succeed

One of the best things about joining a trusted franchise like Travel Counsellors, aside from the commercials, is having a purpose-built booking platform at your fingertips. And with us, you’ll be getting the best in the business with Phenix and the integrated myTC app – making it even easier to craft bespoke quotes and send them to your customers instantly.

Plus, with our ongoing investment into our tech, Phenix is going to get bigger and better than ever – with improvements coming to make life even easier for our business owners while enhancing the customer journey.

Financial freedom

Are you feeling restricted by salary brackets or commission caps in your current role? As a Travel Counsellor, you’ll benefit from completely uncapped commission – so the more you put in, the more you’ll get out financially. This gives you complete control over your earning potential – and in case you missed our recent blog, 66% of Travel Counsellors earn more than the average UK-based travel agent (with the top 30% taking home in excess of £50k per year).

Joining Travel Counsellors offers the best of both worlds—the freedom and autonomy of running your own business, backed by the support and credibility of a renowned brand. With comprehensive training, advanced tools, uncapped financial rewards, and a supportive community, you'll have everything you need to succeed.
