What companies are your Preferred Partners, and what are your commission levels?
Our volume with companies such as Funjet, Apple Vacations, Carnival Cruise Lines, RCI, Princess Cruises, MLT and many others qualifies us to receive the highest commission levels. See the Commission Guide for details.
You'll earn extra income on your first dollar of sales. Our “80% to you – 20% to us” split means you will receive as much as 13%, or 20-30% more than you would at 10% on your own. Depending on your business mix, you can expect to average nearly 12% on all your sales.
Further, if you place enough business with a vendor to qualify for an override commission level higher than what you receive based on the 80/20 split, you will be paid based on the higher level. |
