Archer Travel

A typical day includes checking in with clients, researching destinations, comparing options, and continuing to learn through trainings and supplier resources. Every day is a little different, which keeps the work interesting.

What I’ve learned most is how to show up confidently as a travel advisor, how to communicate clearly, stay organized, think ahead, and create travel plans that truly fit each client. I’ve also learned how important it is to keep learning in an industry that’s always changing.

Corporate has been supportive and available when I’ve needed guidance, without being overbearing. The culture feels encouraging and respectful, with a strong sense of community. People are willing to share knowledge, answer questions, and celebrate wins, which makes a big difference.

The hardest part of the job is staying focused and consistent in a remote setting, especially in the beginning. But once you find your rhythm, it becomes very manageable.

The most enjoyable part is the flexibility and the satisfaction that comes from helping someone feel excited and confident about their trip. Turning overwhelm into peace of mind is incredibly rewarding.


Archer expects new employees to book cruises and vacations right from the get go. There is NO help with connections and leads for clients. The benefits seem too good to be true—and they are. You have to pay a $69.95/month fee to continue working there. This fee can be waived if you recruit others; for me, I did not feel comfortable recruiting other employees because I had no experience in the field (there was no help after the initial Zoom call). The other employees are nice, but they’re obviously salespeople. You HAVE to have connections to people who travel often. After the Zoom call, you’re on your own. Your sponsor will answer some questions, but no one gives you clear directions on finding and keeping clients. They are mostly focused on asking if you’d like to become a sponsor/recruiter. Recruiting is their #1 priority—not taking care of their current new employees. I created my own business cards, website, and business email (which are already not cheap) during my 4-month-stay at the company with no hope in sight for customers. I worked hard and took notes from every training, but finding clients is not as easy to do on your own as you’d think. 

I’ve been with Archer Travel for 2 years, and I couldn’t imagine being with any other host agency. From day one, I felt welcomed into a truly family-oriented environment. The leadership is supportive, the training is thorough, and the resources available make it easy to succeed no matter your starting point.

I love the flexibility, the community, and the opportunity to build a business at my own pace while still having a whole team behind me. Archer Travel has given me the tools, confidence, and support to thrive — and I’m grateful every day that I chose them.

Hi, my name is Cathleen Germann. I signed on with Archer Travel this year. There are not many careers or businesses that are successful without dedication and investment in both time and money and the travel business is not different. 

I am still getting my feet wet, but the support and education I am receiving is outstanding. I have learned so much in very little time.  There are instructors, trainers and mentors including company owners  on every platform available, including in-person if desired. The culture and positive energy is inspiring. 

 As with any business or employment, it's not easy money...you get out of it what you put in to it.  The hard part is the self-dedication. But that is the hard part with any venture. Even if you are in an entry level position; you have to prove yourself. And if you have to work hard, why not work for yourself? And with Archer Travel, there is a huge team that has your back. If you are thinking of becoming an agent this is the way to go. 

I’ve been with Archer Travel for 9 years, starting part-time and transitioning to full-time 5.5 years ago, and it has been life-changing. This company provides consistent guidance, training, and support that allows you to grow at your own pace while continually leveling up.

What sets Archer apart is the genuine support from the entire organization — leadership wants to see you succeed and gives you the tools to do so. Each year I get better, stronger, and more confident in my business.

If you’re driven, coachable, and looking for a company where your hard work truly pays off, Archer Travel is an incredible place to build a long-term career.

When I first started with Archer Travel, I knew very little about booking travel—especially for other people. But thanks to the incredible training, support, and coaching we receive, I’ve now booked thousands of trips—everything from one-night hotel stays for quick getaways to once-in-a-lifetime European adventures.

I’ve had the privilege of helping hundreds of people create lasting memories as they explore the world. Being a travel agent has truly been one of the best career choices I’ve ever made. There’s nothing more rewarding than turning someone’s dream trip into a reality.

Okay, so here's the deal, this is a pyramidal company where you do booking services for clients who wants to travel.   It is 100% commission income only and you have to pay the company monthly to gain access to these booking services.  My take on this is basically, you either can or can't do this, you have to know your strengths on selling your services.  It may sound good on paper but if you can't see yourself at least making back the monthly payments by booking vacations for clients then maybe this is not for you.  There is always risks on companies like these but if you know you'll be able to do the work and is determine to make this work, this is something you may want to try.  Again, this is not a "lay back" sort of business, if you want to earn money, you need to do the work.

If flexibility is what you need in a work environment this is the right choice! Being able to benefit from all of the travel credentials and their long lasting relationships while booking travel around your schedule and still making a very profitable living has been life changing for me. I love the industry access, the extensive trainings, and the support offered by Archer Travel. There is no issue too big or small that arises that Ron himself doesn’t help solve for the agents and the clients best interest. I have been able to enjoy all of the perks in the industry as well and travel the world with my family. Incredible work place. 

Archer Travel has been absolutely amazing and has played a huge role in helping me grow my travel business. From the training and support to the resources and leadership, I’ve never felt like I was doing this alone. Any time I’ve had questions or needed guidance, there has always been someone willing to help and point me in the right direction.

The education, tools, and ongoing support have given me the confidence to build my business the right way and truly serve my clients. I am beyond thankful to be partnered with a company that genuinely cares about their agents’ success and growth. I’m so grateful to be part of Archer Travel and excited for what the future holds!

I thought this was going to be an hourly position. Once I joined the informational meeting, I realized that this is not an hourly position. This is definitely an MLM position. However, that amount of money you could make if you have an entrepreneurial mindset is amazing. The freedom that comes with it is also amazing. It is a start up fee for licensing and monthly fee for maintaining your license. That is the part that sucks! If you have the money great! If you don't, find an actual job. I am currently unemployed, but this is an amazing opportunity. I just wish that the company was able to cover fee's for those that are unemployed as an advance until the 1st sale.
