Independent travel advisor host agency Brownell has unveiled a new "accelerator" program designed for existing travel advisors and self-starting entrepreneurs committed to expanding their luxury travel business with additional knowledge, resources and customized training.
Brownell Catalyst will provide advisors access to comprehensive information, tools, best practices and the community collaboration necessary for a successful, scalable travel business. The program will be a sister to the Brownell Mentoring and Hosting Programs, providing an option for existing advisors who lack the infrastructure to capture, grow or manage a significant book of business.
Chief Development Officer Kerry Dyer, who oversees Brownell’s advisor programs, helped design Brownell Catalyst. “Until now, we have not had a program that allows us to take on advisors who are in between a brand-new advisor and a very experienced one,” she said. “Brownell Catalyst will allow Brownell to be more competitive in the modern market.”
During the Catalyst term, the advisor will work directly with a team of professionals who specialize in sales, marketing, product knowledge, vendor relations, and more. Upon completion of the training and meeting a revenue threshold requirement, the advisor will graduate into Brownell Hosting.
“While this program allows us to appeal to a wider audience, we will maintain our commitment to bringing on advisors who will uphold the Brownell standards and core values through their work,” added Dyer.
