What:
Because of increasing demand from both its existing independent agencies (IAs) and new-to-travel professionals joining its network, host agency Avoya Travel has restructured and expanded its Avoya Mastermind Academy program.

Why It Matters:
Avoya Mastermind will now offer three levels that are each tailored to maximize an agency’s success based on its sales and industry experience. The host agency is demonstrating its commitment to its IAs by investing in a program that can help grow and support their businesses. And it appears to be working: All 2018 event dates sold out within the first month of registration, and Avoya is adding more dates in 2019 to meet the unprecedented demand for the program.

Fast Facts:
- The Mastermind Academy forum supports IAs in the Avoya Network in reaching business growth through results-driven professional and personal development education

- The expanded Mastermind Academy series now offers three levels.

- The Mastermind Success Academies offer IAs a program centered on best practices, including results-oriented success strategies, sales and advanced systems.

- The Mastermind Ultimate Success Academies are designed for IAs that produce $500,000 to $5 million or more in annual sales.

What They Are Saying:
“With the Mastermind Academy program, Avoya Travel is focused on strengthening the long-term viability of Independent Agency success within our unique business model and providing education that encompasses both professional and personal development to encourage continued growth,” said Tammie Richie, associate vice president of Avoya Mastermind. “Avoya Travel continues to invest in its Shared Success model and remains committed to supporting travel professionals in delivering exceptional vacation experiences to customers, growing sales and building successful Independent Agencies.”
