Avoya Travel / American Express, one of the leading travel companies in North America, announced the success of the Avoya Mastermind Program, which is designed to increase the incomes of Independent Agencies. The Avoya Mastermind Program is a personalized and small-group approach to motivational business development that helps Independent Agencies reach maximum potential on their path to sales success.
The Avoya Mastermind Program is a powerful, interactive platform which combines the talents and experience of thriving Independent Agencies. Organized in small peer groups, the hands-on program enables the sharing of sales and business best practices, encouragement, and ideas that assist Independent Agency owners in achieving sales goals. Members begin with one-on-one sales development sessions with an Avoya Travel Agency Development Specialist and then are carefully matched and placed into an Avoya Mastermind Group.
“Avoya always looks for better ways to support our Network’s success, and the Avoya Mastermind Program is a unique professional development opportunity,” said Brad Anderson, Co-President of Avoya. “We’re thrilled to see the incomes of Independent Agencies participating in the Avoya Mastermind Program grow significantly as a result of the professional development and peer interaction that the program facilitates.”
Avoya has hired former Independent Affiliate Tammie Richie as Agency Development Specialist to create and implement all Avoya Mastermind Program initiatives. Richie is an award-winning travel professional and offers more than 25 years of experience in travel and motivational sales development. With her previous experience as an Independent Agency owner, Richie adds tremendous perspective and understanding to Avoya Mastermind Program.
“As a former Independent Affiliate of Avoya, I can relate to the needs and questions that Independent Agencies experience,” said Richie. “The Avoya Mastermind Program is a dynamic resource that produces tremendous results for the participating Independent Agencies.”
