Hi everyone, I had a client call looking for a travel agent to plan a Florida family vacation. They're a couple with a toddler son. I didn't get details on budget, but I thought I would put it out there for anyone who can help him. I only do groups. See More
Kathy Kocharhook replied to stephanie dreibelbis's discussion How do you handle uncollected commissions?"Stephanie - It's not stupid - you were trusting a fellow "professional" and you got stung I think.
Don't beat yourself up but definitely take away some valuable lessons from this experience.
So sorry this happened and that…"
stephanie dreibelbis replied to stephanie dreibelbis's discussion How do you handle uncollected commissions?" Hi Kathy....thanks so much for taking time to answer. Its around $ 600 and No...I unfortunately don't have anything in writing. You would think that after 38 years in the travel business I would l know better....my stupidity.

How much are you talking about as your portion?
Sounds like you are getting the run-around in trying to collect your share.
I would…"

I'm primarily a corporate agent that specializes in business and first class travel so when I get a "leisure" request from one of my clients, of course I accept although its not my forte, I had a cruise request in April for 2 suites on RCCL. A dear friend, who only books cruises was contacted to help. This is a very well known cruise person...his name is all over the internet in regard to travel but I will not stoop so low as to mention his name. He did book the cruise for me and advised that his company was paid 17% so I would receive 10% and they would retain the 7%. Fine with me.Its now 5 months since my clients sailed. I have contacted this "friend" numerous times over a period of 4 months. All I have received is lies. His excuses vary from...They have to create an account for…See More
