Holidaysplease

• Business model: Our model is for self-employed agents working on a commission basis. Agents use the Holidaysplease branding across social media, with branded templates provided for quotes and administration. All invoices, tickets, and balance payments are handled by our in-house admin team. Customer data is securely stored and owned by head office via our internal portal. We also provide a fully integrated CRM system to support agents in managing customer contact and relationships effectively.

• Costs: There are no monthly fees, just a one-off joining fee of £378. You can opt for our fixed-cost telephone service at £14.50 per month, covering line rental and call charges, or use your own phone line. Optional indemnity insurance is available at £14.99 per month, providing protection in the rare event a booking incurs a loss due to an error on your part. Credit card fees are split between the agent and Holidaysplease and are deducted from any commission payment.

• Commission structure: Commission is paid on a sliding scale. For company-provided leads, rates start at 25% and rise to 45% after discount, based on monthly sales. Bookings from your own leads earn 50% after discount. A monthly profit incentive can increase earnings up to 55%. Commission is paid in two instalments: one the month after booking and the second after travel. If an agent leaves Holidaysplease, any future commission payments are forfeited.

• Licenses and memberships: We are members of ABTA, and our in-house tour operator is fully ATOL protected. As part of the Hays Independence Group, we benefit from strong supplier terms. With access to over 300 third-party suppliers and our own tour operator, we remain highly competitive in the marketplace.

• Training and support: We provide a 3-day remote induction covering our in-house systems and tour operations. Our internal hub offers ongoing training with suppliers and all resources needed to perform the role. We supply branded social media assets and monthly mailshots. A 24/7 internal forum connects agents with peers and head office. Our social media hub shares up-to-date supplier offers in one place. Agents also receive a dedicated page on our customer-facing website to support their business.
