How much can I earn with Work Station ?

To give a precise amount of what you can earn in this type of business is not so easy, given the fact that it depends on how much time and effort you are willing to invest in your business, your initiative and the desire to learn and grow.

With the Travel Agency that you are connected with, you will earn 50% of the profit on all trips and additional services sold (flights, hotels, car rental, etc..), through your site either online or offline (with friends, family, people you know, etc..and by word of mouth).

For every trip sold by the Travel Agency, your earnings are based on the amount of the holiday package and the profitable commission that it generates, not to mention that you can put together trips with additional services such as flights, hotel bookings and car hire etc (on which you earn 50%, always). The same commission will be granted from the Travel Agency on subsequent purchases.

Basically, if the same user from your site buys further trips in the future, (eg within a month, a year or even 10 years) you will earn more than 50% profit, and rest assure that this happens as your loyal customers are those that repurchase continually.

Remember that internet is not the only way through which will get results, but also “offline” through family and friends, colleagues and by word of mouth.

Important: The fact that you can do this work from home whenever it best suites you does not mean that you can make money without doing anything. Remember that the results depend on you and how much effort and passion you put into it every day, just like any other job. We are not here to take anyone for a ride, you must be aware that this is an activity subject to risk of losing capital investment as like in any business, there is no certainty, success depends above all on you (in short, do not expect money to fall from the sky), are we being too hard? Maybe, but we like to be direct and clear and control  ENTHUSIASM until you start using our Work Station!

But however, with Work Station ETWay, unlike any other job, you can carry out your activity where and when you want (even part-time) without having to account to anyone (you don't have a boss nor obligations to anyone). But remember that is always a business, where results and success will always be in line to the passion, enthusiasm and desire that you put into it, even if this doesn't guarantee success!

The one thing you can sure of is: with all the tools at your disposal, the training program, sales and booking, technical and marketing support you receive from us and from the travel agent in your country, the results are immediate. In addition, with all the support and advice from expert Promoters, even if you are at home, in the office or abroad, it will seem like you are working in a team thanks to the constant support of technological tools at your disposal. Do you want to join us?

And finally, if you have clear ideas that you want to put to test, then turn them into results. If you want more flexibility in your work, then the Work Station ETWay you will have all that you need: freedom, comfort, passion and independence.

How are we Different to a Traditional Travel Agency ?

1.   Independence, liberty and flexibility at work.

With Evolution Travel you have maximum liberty with work and traveling hours.

In respect to a traditional on the street travel agency, you don't have to have you “door open” and be physically present in the office and tied to long hours. With Evolution Travel you decide how much time you want to dedicate to developing your business, even when others are sleeping, if you are abroad or on vacation.

2.   Unlimited Targets: Nationally and Internationally.

         The number of potential Italian clients that use the internet constantly to        travel          are more than 15 million. As you are already aware, the travel      business is very competitive but it is also true that the travel industry is one    of the most efficient and explosive electronic businesses. Every day thousands         of people look for their ideal vacation on the internet. And not only. On the internet you can work with whoever and wherever, even abroad ( some of our          customers come from Germany, France and Spain) and in the near future, you          will have your site translated into different languages.

         Obviously, if you have experience in the tourism sector, marketing and can use a computer, it is an advantage as these skills are essential in this competitive     sector, but you can acquire all this with our training and with practice!

         Other fundamental requisites are enthusiasm, a passion for traveling and      the want to succeed.

         In respect to a traditional travel agency that is limited to the geographic area it is located in, with Evolution Travel you have no limits! For example, if you         open a traditional agency in a huge city like Milano, you will never be able to     sell or reach clients outside your city! Instead with Evolution Travel, all you need to do is enter Google with your key words linked to travelling in order to   find all that you want in the world of tourism in Italy (we are already doing this    now!)

         In other words with Evolution Travel you will have at your disposal the same       vacation packages as a traditional agency and many products at even lower prices! In fact Evolution Travel is a Tour Operator that specialises in various        destinations, such as: Namibia, Jamaica and Puglia (Italy). It is for this reason      many people look for trips on the Internet to find competitive prices and high     quality. Just imagine, while you are  reading this, our Promoters are working          all over Italy with publicity campaigns that are on line daily on Google, Yahoo,    Virgilio etc.

         You are probably asking yourself if there are any limits in having an          independent agency? Obviously it depends on how you interpret things, for         example: with our formula that you have acquired for the use of services and        software and all relevant information and training to carry out your business as         a Promoter, with unlimited help from our head office who are the ones that    back you up through the whole process right through to the final stage of      payment assuring it is done correctly, that the client has his booking, that the    suppliers are paid, insurance is covered by the client, in other words that all is         correct: these are the most tedious parts and they are the total responsibility of       the Evolution Head Office, not yours! For us there are no limits, our clients and staff come first! 

         3. Personalised Web Services.

With Evolution Travel you will have a personalized website with a domain that we register for you ( eg. www.vacation-specials.com). You will also have a data base with all your personal details that you can modify when you want and that all navigators will see when they enter your site.

The site gives you a direct and personal contact with navigators that enter and it is this that makes us so successful. People that enter our sites say that it is like entering a real agency, because there is real human contact, as on your site there is your personal photo and details so that clients can contact you directly via email, telephone, chat and video-chat.

You will also have a website with the same technology of the most important European portals where navigators can contact you and ask for requests in real time, choose from over 7,000 trips and vacations worldwide with a few clicks and make payments with credit cards! But that's not all...at your disposal are holiday packages form Italian and International Tour Operators.

Go and ask a traditional Travel Agency which website they use to promote themselves, if they have one and how much money it cost them, and then you will understand the difference between them and us!

4. Costs and Minimal Investment.

The average cost to open a Traditional Travel Agency, whether it be a franchise or your own independent, you are looking to pay around sixty thousand euros just in the first year. Instead with Evolution Travel the cost of starting up is much less but, above all you don't have fixed monthly costs. To get a clearer picture, read on...

[Are you interested? If so, fill out this form without any commitment]  

How much will it cost me to join?

First of all you have to understand that it is not so easy and quite expensive to open a travel agency. On top you also have all the bureaucracy, administrative and commercial costs to add on and not to mention the numerous monthly bills.

Below we compare the 2 main possibilities:

Solution 1. Open your own or a Franchise

When opening a traditional on the street travel agency you must take into consideration the fixed monthly costs such as, rent and maintenance (eg, electricity, heating, etc..) administrative and finance expenses (eg. Licence, accountancy, etc..) software and booking services, client management and tele-bookings. The minimal costs to run a traditional travel agency varies from 2.500 to 3.000 euros a month (see the table below).

If you decide to go into Franchising, then you have to be prepared to fork out at least

an extra 30.000 euros for royalties and trademark costs. Therefore, adding to your 30.000 euros in annual fees, add on the extra 30.000 and your total costs are already over the 60.000 euros for the year!

Solution 2 – Join Evolution Travel.
With Evolution Travel instead you don't have to open a travel agency, all you have to do is join us directly to carry out your business. You won't have any monthly agency fees, the only fees you have are those linked to you as a Promoter and your 12 commission invoices yearly, an internet connection and telephone and advertising costs to promote yourself. Therefore you don't have rent nor extra useless costs or bureaucratic and administrative costs to pay. Just stop and think for a moment how much time, cost and responsibility is spent on sending travel documents and tickets and billing; you don't have these worries and deadlines as Evolution Travel does it all for you, all you have to do is to organise the selling of trips that you like and client management. In other words, you can save 30.000 euros every year in costs and endless responsibilities!

Furthermore, having the same services (and in certain cases even more) than a Franchising, with Evolution Travel your only initial investment is 5760,00 £ + VAT in comparison to 30.000,00 euros + vat plus the traditional formula in Franchising.

The 5760,00 £ + VAT include the use trademark and all the tools, technology, software, continuous training and administration and finance support linked to the travel agency, immediately. Above all we will give your business a solid up and running take off (thanks to a specialised practical course, we begin working together immediately with all the requests that you receive on your site we will assist you step by step!. And we will do the same when you work from home assisting you constantly in your daily work).

With Evolution Travel you will therefore have the same advantages as in Franchising but without the monthly costs and have total freedom in your working hours.

See the table below:

With Evolution Travel the required investment is almost 3 times lower and includes all the tools, support and services (administrative, fiscal, marketing and training courses included) to start you business. No fixed agency fees, no Franchising royalties to pay!

You are probably asking yourself why Evolution Travel gives you all this for only 5760,00 £ + VAT, Technology, Training and know-how of tourism to those like you who want to open a business in the world of travel and tourism? The answer is simple, our Vision is based on generating the possibility for all to work and develop ( to become professionals in the sector that they desire with unlimited clients limited to one city or area but opened to a national territory; to business people who want to widen their business; to whoever would like to have a business without any obligation of time or hours) taking advantage of the potentiality of the internet, complementing and enhancing the interaction between human relationships together with consultancy and the knowledge of a specific destination or tourism product ( who better than you knows the region you live in,  where you can advice the best to those who wish to travel in it?) The aim is to grow together to consolidate and strengthen Evolution Travel in the world of travel and tourism on a national and international level thanks to your contribution!

With Evolution Travel you will be up and running immediately and work when and wherever you want!

What are the risks of Opening a Traditional Travel Agency ?

It depends on which solution you choose. To better understand the “other side of the picture” and also look at it from the point of view that things DON'T go as planned.

When making large investments, it is always good to reflect on the advantages but we should also look at the disadvantages and risks involved.

Let's take the example above ( see below if you haven't already done so) and examine exactly what the risks are of opening a traditional travel agency....

Hypothesis 1 – Open your Own Travel Agency or Franchise

Supposing you open a traditional or Franchising Travel Agency with the aim of earning 2.000 euros a month.

How much should your monthly intake be to earn 2.000 euros net? Simple, you need to take in at least 4.800 euros a month as 2.800 euros go on covering expenses (see table above).

Now imagine that, for whatever reason you have to stop your business for a few days or even months (eg. health of family problems). What happens to your business? Simple, no business, no income; the only thing that remains are the monthly bills and expenses to pay. In addition, if you are absent on long term (eg. illness or a long trip), you would need to hire an employee (an additional monthly cost).

If you are in franchising, you have at least another 30.000 euros to pay on top!

Hypothesis 2 – Work with Evolution Travel

Now imagine working with Evolution Travel. How much do you need to make to earn the same 2.000 euros a month as from the above example? Simple, just over 2.000 euros, because apart from the flexible and variable advertising and phone costs, plus your normal income tax, you don't have any other fixed monthly costs to pay!

Now evaluate the same situation where for any reason you had to suspend your business either for a few days or months, what do you loose? Nothing!

In fact, with not having any fixed costs or obligations, in comparison to Evolution Travel, suspending your business doesn't affect you in any way, you don't have any expenses to pay!

[Are you interested? If so, fill out this form without any commitment]  

What the other advantages if I join ?

What this actually means is that you can travel taking advantage of generous discounts. You can travel around the world, often with discounts from 50% to 80% off and in some cases you can even travel for free. This is not a joke!

In Italy there is a travel agency that specializes in these types of offers directed to travel agents in which obviously you can take when you want. With Evolution Travel you can travel the world with super discounted rates, any time of the year.

Furthermore, if you have the skills to help us to create new innovative holiday packages, you can take advantage of the incentives reserved to those who join the Evolution Travel Network!

Other Frequently Asked Questions.

Whoever decides to work with us receives all the services and technical tools to work from home. This means, above all, in reducing costs such as rent especially if it is in good location, the rent can be very expensive. It also allows you to operate with extreme comfort and freedom without any obligations nor time limits as you decide when or where you work.

What is the relationship that links the Promoters to Evolution Travel?
Every Promoter works  independently and interdependently with other promoters and with the head office with which it is bound by a contract. The Promoters are essentially micro-enterprises developing the business assuming the risks and benefits in proportion to their commitment.

Are there any limits in managing my business?
Obviously it depends on how one interprets things, for example, with our formula, in which you purchase the use of software tools and services to carry out as a Promoter and related training, and unlimited help and assistance in particular in the closure of your sales where this is done by Evolution Travel Head Office. This means to ensure payment by the customer has gone through successfully, that the travel contract is in possession of the customer, the supplier is paid, in other words that ever detail is taken care of.

How many Evolution Travel Promoters are there?
Currently there about 200, and steadily increasing due to our economical price of 5760,00 £ + VAT+ vat that we are now offering.

Are there further costs other than the initial price?
The Evolution Travel contract foresees an annual renewal fee from the second year onwards of  980.00 € + vat.

What are the requirements and characteristics to work with Evolution Travel?
Obviously if you have experience in tourism, marketing and internet and know how to use a computer, it is an advantage in a competitive industry like ours, but all this can be learnt through our training and practice.

Other important features needed to successfully carry out this activity are related to personal skills such as a passion for travelling, the capacity to communicate and relate to people, have initiative and spirit, be business minded, motivated and committed and above to have the desire to learn, grow and achieve concrete results.

How long does the in company training last?
It lasts 2 working weeks, if needed we can come to an agreement if this is not suitable. The basic course explains all the necessary information and tools and an advanced course with hands on activities in managing your activity, together with the Staff you will work your requests that arrive on your site from the public that Head Office initially supply you with.

The training then continues with other courses from web marketing to web writing and personal development. The course is full of information and we guarantee you won't be bored. You can repeat the course if need be, whenever you want.

Are there contract obligations on the minimum annual turnover?
No!. The feature that distinguishes Evolution Travel is the extreme flexibility and freedom that each Promoter has using all the resources available.

While this freedom is a much sort after strength and appreciated by the Promoters while working from home, this provides risks like any other business-like any other free enterprise, it requires continuous updating of new skills, strong determination, self-discipline, motivation and initiative to overcome difficulties, these resources belong to personal aptitude.

Does Evolution Travel operate only in Italy?

Currently the company mainly operates in Italy, although there are some Promoters that are already working internationally, as some Evolution Travel Promoters live abroad in countries such as Switzerland, Spain, Croatia, Netherlands and soon in Morocco and the USA. This is made possible thanks to the special and unique development of the HBB model, which allows anyone to work and develop their activity from anywhere in the world!

The aim of Evolution Travel in the near future is to expand throughout Europe and worldwide, with fully functional head offices abroad and the relative Network of professional sales Promoters joined together with international colleagues from the Web all with the same passion for the travel industry.

Is the development system of Evolution Travel  a guarantee of success for all?.

Perhaps! Nobody can guarantee the success of others, but only to themselves- and this very often depends on the level of ambition and personal determination.

Unlike a traditional on the road agency that works with mainly local customers, the business of selling travel and vacations over the internet provides access to a virtually unlimited potential and constantly expanding market, this in itself is a guarantee of success: recent company data reveals that a large part of the commercial results shown were achieved by individual promoters who, although with the same tools,  media services and company support- get different results depending on their motivation, quantity and quality of work; these variables are part of their commitment and  determination to achieve their goals. People who are open minded and are good problem solvers will have greater success in respect to people who are demotivated, inconsistent and often don't take their responsibilities seriously enough which all cause negative results.

Is there a phenomenal turnover for Evolution Travel Promoters?
Turnover is a physiological phenomenon in all corporate business organizations, the sale of any product or service requires special skills including psychological, some of which are fundamental such as -but not limited to- the expectations of personal and professional fulfillment, the sense of responsibility towards their own business, the will and determination to improve their sense of expression, communication and social skills, to properly manage their time and resources, etc..If it was so quick and easy to obtain economic results, anyone could be successful in their work. A number of businesses- and this phenomenon is not unusual to Evolution Travel- fail in the first year of trading mainly due to the fact that not everyone is willing to make the effort needed or have the correct skills, any business requires commitment, sacrifice, dedication, perseverance, endurance, etc...for how long?..for the time necessary and this varies from individual to individual. For some, this could take a few months, for others, years. Every company in the world faces the same phenomenon.

The Evolution Travel turnover has been high since the beginning of our activity (2003/04), then decreased significantly in the following years, the trend is therefore an adjustment of physiological levels.

The company will, is obviously, to eliminate it completely, but this is virtually impossible. The Evolution Travel company put all its know-how and utilized all its resources to make the work of every single Promoter easier, but what we can't do is the work of the promoters.

What does it mean to be an Evolution Travel Promoter?
To start a professional business as a Travel Promoter is to realize your dream and enter the world of tourism, at an economical price, to have public recognition and trust, to have the best technological tools and the best up to date training on the market and the philosophy of Evolution Travel, that it bases itself on, that is, values that have always been the forefront of the company.
