I recently sent an email to everyone who has invested in the Home-Based Travel Agent Success Course alerting them to important updates in Module 7.
However, I noticed that some people didn’t receive the email. People move, email addresses change. Perhaps some students changed from generic email addresses (AOL, Yahoo, e.tc.) to ones based on their own domain names, as I suggest.
So if you are one of those people and are reading this, read on.
How up to date is the Home-Based Travel Agent Success Course?
One of the great advantages of providing the course in an electronic format is that I don’t have to wait months for the next edition to appear. If something changes in the industry, I can update the text and make it available immediately.
This is especially important for the Host Agency Directory. This is one segment of the travel distribution system that is in constant flux. So this module gets updated several times a year.
Of course, the printed version is a “moment in time,” but it is printed in very short print runs. That’s more costly, but it lets me update every month or two instead of every year or two as was the case when I was using printed textbooks.
Another major benefit of this course is that, once you are a student, you have lifetime access to the electronic version of the course including all future updates. And, of course, if you choose to get the print version you still get the electronic version, now and forever.
This is especially important, once again, for the Host Agency Directory. Since it is quite likely that you will deal with several host agencies over the course of your career, you can always download the latest version of the Directory when you are shopping for a new host.
Plus you can revisit the course whenever you wish, secure in the knowledge that the information you are reading reflects the current realities of this exciting profession.
So, the answer to the question, “How up to date is the Home-Based Travel Agent Success Course?” is . . . very!
And that will be true tomorrow and next month and next year.

If so, this could be the most important article you’ll ever read because it can save you thousands of dollars and prevent you from making some costly mistakes at the beginning of your career.
Mistake #1: Don’t think you don’t need any travel agent training.
Yes, yes, you can learn the business in the “school of hard knocks. That’s what I did and it cost me several thousand dollars in dumb mistakes before I figured it all out.
Of course, when I got started, way back when, there weren’t a lot of options out there. That’s not true today.
There are a growing number of options available to you, which is both good and bad. Good because you have choice, bad because you run the risk of becoming confused and making some of the following mistakes. (more…)
