Testimony from a Carlisle Travel Advisor

As a direct result of Jerry and his dedicated staff I have had the most rewarding year since beginning my career in the travel industry 20 years ago. The personal support, availability of Jerry and staff and the variety of tour companies has allowed me to grow my client base beyond anything I imagined possible. I’ve been apart of other agency’s and none offered the patience, availability or knowledge that Jerry has allotted me.

Carlisle Travel Management has a superior reputation in the travel industry. My clients have the peace of mind that they are being cared for by a well-established and professionally managed company. They have my recommendation to anyone searching for a new host agency.

Carlisle Travel offers a structured onboarding experience designed to help you feel confident from day one. New advisors receive a multi-stage training program that includes a three-hour webinar, personalized one-on-one sessions with our management team, and ongoing support as you begin building your business. We're here to guide you at every step as you grow as a travel advisor.

Prior experience is not needed to join. While travel industry experience is helpful, what matters most is your passion for travel and your personal knowledge of destinations. Our onboarding process starts from the ground up, giving you the foundational tools and training needed to thrive as a Carlisle Travel advisor.

Our commission structure is designed to reward your growth. New agents start by earning 50 percent of the commission on their bookings, with opportunities to increase your split as your total sales grow. Agents can earn up to 80 percent, giving you strong earning potential as you build your business. In addition to commissions, most agents also choose to charge their own planning or service fees, allowing them to further increase their income while providing high-value, personalized support to their clients.

Carlisle Travel agents receive access to a wide range of supplier booking platforms and industry tools to help you work efficiently and professionally. These systems are fully introduced during onboarding, ensuring you feel comfortable using them to serve your clients at a high standard.

As part of the Travel Leaders Network, Carlisle agents benefit from one of the industry's strongest lead-generation platforms and an extensive library of training resources. Additionally, we are continually enhancing our website, SEO, and digital presence to attract new clients and support the long-term success of our agents.

Our agents consistently tell us that our hands-on support is what truly sets Carlisle Travel apart. We pride ourselves on offering personalized guidance from an experienced management team, helping both new and established travel agents grow with confidence.

One of the biggest benefits of joining Carlisle Travel is flexibility. As an independent contractor, you manage your own schedule and decide how many hours you want to work. Many of our agents enjoy the freedom to balance their travel business with family, other careers, or personal commitments.

Carlisle Travel is actively strengthening its brand through digital marketing, social media, and best-practice SEO strategies to support agent visibility. While advisors are encouraged to build their own personal brands as independent contractors, we complement your efforts with leads generated through Travel Leaders Network and ongoing enhancements to our online presence.
