OSSN Travel Agency Program
OSSN provides our Host travel Agency Members with the opportunity to
post information about their travel agency in the "Members" area of
the www.ossn.com
website, so that they may inform Independent Contractor members about
the benefits and services their travel agency has to offer to IC's. If you are
a "Host Agency" member that is developing an outside sales
force of IC's and would like to post this information about your agency, OSSN
can help you achieve this goal. OSSN lists these agencies and their benefits
in our Host Agency Section located in the Members section on page: http://www.ossn.com/secure/resources/hostagencycategories.asp
In this Host Agency section, you will be able to list your company's
contact information plus additional important details about the benefits
and services that you offer to Independent Contractors. You may also
display your company logo. Once you have completed the "New Host Travel
Agency membership,"
you will be able to add this important information to your membership
profile (if you desire to have this information listed in the host travel agency
area). When you go into the "MEMBERS" section of the www.ossn.com
site, you will click on "Edit Profile"
and proceed to enter the information you want to display.
The Host Travel Agency Membership allows TWO names to be listed
as "owner/manager"
status in the agency profile. These two people will have membership benefits,
although the membership is listed in the AGENCY name, not under individual
names. If you have additional sales staff that you also want to receive
membership benefits, then they may join as an "Associate Member"
of OSSN at a reduced rate of $95.00. This membership application form
can be faxed to you by OSSN headquarters, as the special "Associate"
rate is NOT listed online.
If you are a Host Agency that does not plan to work with additional Independent
Contractors, then you are not required to enter any additional information
about your agency in this Host Agency area.
There may be other reasons why your travel agency should join OSSN
over and beyond the opportunities of just seeking additional sales people such
as:
- Your Outside Travel Agents can join OSSN at the "Associate" rate
of $95 USD
- Full Service Travel Agencies (CLIA, TRUE, IATAN, ARC) included, learn
how to recruit and manage an outside sales force more effectively. Some
travel agency owners lack knowledge in knowing how to work with Independent
Contractors.
- Agencies will have opportunity to meet other Outside Agents, Online
or at Chapter meetings.
- You will have access to professional Independent Contractor Agreements/contracts
that should ALWAYS be used when contracting with Independent Contractors. (OSSN
will also be glad to review any existing contracts that are submitted to our
headquarters that are presently being considered or being used by Travel Agency
members or Independent Contractor members.)
- Member Agency will be listed in the OSSN Web Site as an agency seeking
Outside Travel Agents and promoted to the OSSN Independent Contractor members.
- Your Travel Agency can be more competitive by being able to offer
more benefit opportunities to your Outside Agents if they are members of OSSN.
- Travel Agencies may incorporate the OSSN membership program into
their own
Outside Sales Program which can allow them to charge more for their
IC/Outside Sales Program Offer.
- Many Full Service Travel Agencies are now selling out moving to a "home
based" operation. OSSN is an association serving your home based travel
agency needs.
- Meet hundreds of travel agent industry suppliers that are members
of OSSN and who are anxious to know who you are.
- Participate in OSSN Trade Shows and Industry Events.
- Lastly, OSSN membership puts the agency into the mainstream of what
is happening in the market place as it pertains to the Independent Contractor
community.
- OSSN invites your agency to join OSSN as a "Host Travel Agency
Member."
