Agent in Training Program - Work From Home - Learn to be an EXCEPTIONAL Concierge Agent specializing in Disney Vacations!

Next Class Scheduled to begin the week of April 20, 2014

Wishes Family Travel is thoughtfully and carefully expanding! We have restructured our Agent in Training program to meet the needs of both the agency, and ladies new to the travel industry. The agency’s goal for all agents is to build their skill level, support system, and product knowledge to build their confidence in their abilities!

With these goals in mind, the Agent in Training program is designed to lead step-by-step through the process of selling and servicing family travel vacations. Our standards are extremely high, thus the training does take three to four weeks, including the completion of the College of Disney Knowledge program that Disney provides. This is a seriously good agency providing seriously good service to our guests through exceptional training and support to our Independent Contractor Concierge Agents.

For more in depth information, please continue reading from our primary Agent Trainer, Sarah McClure and the six agents who have just completed the new classwork. When you are ready to apply, please visit our Wishes Application Site to submit your application for consideration.

Sarah McClure: As an agent trainer with Wishes Family Travel, I have several goals. The first is to build a relationship with new agents. I want them to know that even though we are spread across the country, we are here to uplift and help each other in any way. This is not a competitive work place, we are a family working toward the same goal. My role is to build an agent’s confidence as she learns all of the skills necessary to be successful in the travel industry. I will teach her all of the ins and outs of our agency as we walk through the sessions together.

The training sessions and homework assignments are intentionally broken down into manageable bits so that she can learn, explore and try out aspects of the system in a safe environment. We encourage new agents to ask questions and start conversations. This lets us know that she is processing and applying the new information. Wishes Family Travel wants our training sessions to be effective, leading to productive, independent and motivated employees.

When agents have completed their final Skills Test with flying colors I have confidence in her ability to make her clients happy so they return for future vacations and make referrals to their family and friends. I know that she is ready to begin a great career with Wishes Family Travel! Email Sarah your questions!

Hear from the last group of ladies that ventured through the first newly designed AIT program:

Elizabeth Lollis: My journey so far with WFT has been amazing. I feel blessed to be surrounded by a group of caring, Christian -women, who are there to support me and pray for me, not only in this business, but also my personal life. The training process is very organized and is very efficient. Sarah McClure does an amazing job with the training and is available to answer any questions that I have. Shellie, the owner of WFT, is very much involved with each agent and cares about them. It has been a great experience so far, and I am looking forward to my future with WFT. Email Elizabeth.

Caralee Wirges: I am so thankful a dear friend referred me to Wishes Family Travel. Becoming a Disney travel agent had always been a “dream” job and I thought that is what it would always be; a dream. WFT wanted to know more about me and what I personally could bring to the table, rather than how many different Disney resorts I had stayed. The application process was very thorough and it did take a bit of time, but I was so appreciative of that fact. I want to work for a company that cares about my skills and capabilities; it means they really care about the clients they serve.

When Wishes Family Travel talks about being trained, they speak the truth. WFT took the time to thoroughly train me so I felt confident about what I was doing. The training process takes about 3-4 weeks, but it is well worth every minute. I never felt like I was on my own to learn the process. Not only do they provide exceptional training at the beginning, but the training continues in the form of a mentor. WFT pairs you with a mentor who will be there for you during your first year of work to help set you up for success. Wishes Family Travel wants you to soar; when you’re successful, everyone is successful! Email Caralee.

Allison Flynn: When I applied to be a concierge agent with Wishes Family Travel, I didn't expect to have such a welcoming interview process that considered my feelings and questions so carefully. Before I got to my actual interview with Shellie, I had an insider's perspective on what working for Wishes entailed. Training for this position - which is very different from any other I've held - has been wonderful. Seasoned agents have been there to answer questions and encourage me as I build my client base. Being a part of Wishes is like being a part of a family! Email Allison.

Kelly Rodriguez: With WFT I have learned so much about Disney and becoming an agent. WFT has given me lots of tools to help me grow. I have loved working with everyone thus far, as they really care about making sure each of us succeed. When you have a job doing what you love with a great team it doesn’t really feel like work. I look forward to continuing on this exciting journey with a great team! Email Kelly.

Pam Enri: I want to take a moment to thank everyone at WFT for the warmth and confidence that has been extended to me from the very beginning. From the first phone call I made inquiring about the Concierge Agent position, from the in-depth training I received, and for the continued support that I receive whenever I need it, this experience has proven to be a "once in a lifetime" experience for me. Thank you one and all for allowing me to become a part of WFT family. With the amazing training, my love for all things Disney, and the support and encouragement I receive everyday, I hope that I will be a part of WFT for a very, very long time! Email Pam.

Annette Miller: The application process was much different than any I had previously experienced. As the process unfolded, it was wonderful to learn new aspects of the company and the different personalities of each lady. By the time I was hired, I felt well-informed about what to expect from my employment and the training process and felt like I was already part of the family. In my opinion, the training process could best be described as a blooming rose. Each session (broken up into one hour sections to avoid being overwhelmed) revealed a new part of the process, and it was easy to see how the previous lesson fit in with what was taught next. By the end, I felt confident in my knowledge and skills, and excited to put them into practice. I am truly blessed to be a part of this agency! Email Annette.

Our next class is scheduled to start the week of April 20, 2014. Please consider carefully if you will fit into this beautiful team!
