Making "The Switch" was one of the best decisions we've made.

Andrea Turner, Zoe Hemming, Merran Wiggins and Karen Farley were all working with other well known mobile travel groups and, after seeing TravelManagers advertisements and hearing about the model through industry publications, made the decision to enquire further.

"TravelManagers are like my 2nd family" says Merran Wiggins. "I chose TravelManagers as they were the best fit for my business and I now feel totally connected".

Singing a similar tune, Zoe and Andrea were pleasantly surprised that being in partnership with TravelManagers not only met but exceeded their expectations.

Spending time researching what travel agent jobs in Australia were on offer elsewhere, Andrea believes that TravelManagers is "better than any competitor in the industry operating a similar model".

Karen Farley feels the same "I joined TravelManagers to increase my earnings and to improve my efficiency using Tramada". Also imperative to Karen's decision was "more local supplier contact" facilitated by the state based business partnership managers.

Sometimes the risk of going mobile can appear greater when you're a corporate travel agent.

Similarly Rebecca enjoys being able to "work less and earn more" by joining TravelManagers. "The support from TravelManagers National Partnership Office is amazing and very beneficial to my business".

Helen McIver was the first personal travel manager in QLD with TravelManagers and after a successful career in retail travel decided to make the switch. "I only wish I'd done this years ago".

Finding a way to work in the travel industry whilst maintaining a great work / life balance doesn't have to be such a challenge, evident in Michelle Michael-Pecora and Gayle Dawson's experience.

Michelle states "I joined TravelManagers for a better work / life balance and now not only do I have that, but I am also earning more than I ever have in the travel industry. The support I receive is second to none and everyone is so encouraging and inspiring."

Gayle's motivation for joining was initially focused more around juggling family and career "I wanted to be there for my daughter when she needed me and to stop feeling guilty if she was sick". Not only is Gayle able to spend more quality time with her daughter and get her life back, but she's also earning more now than she ever has before. "I have grown as a person and the only stomach knots I now get are at how excited I am about my future with TravelManagers. Without the support of the National Partnership Office, this would never have been possible."
