The business, which began in 2010 as a franchise model targeting new entrants to travel, is evolving its homeworking model and is now seeking to recruit established travel consultants.
Free to join, the new homeworking division allows members to choose the benefits they value most, ranging from higher rates of commission and receiving head office leads to having more opportunities for overseas trips and different technology needs.
Not Just Travel is also offering a £10,000 bonus scheme, similar to its Money Back Challenge for franchisees, for homeworkers who hit a company-set sales target in their first year.
The division will be overseen by former Thomas Cook trade partnership manager Katrina Latimer, who joined Not Just Travel last October as head of trade and homeworking.
Speaking to TTG, Not Just Travel co-founder Steve Witt said the membership model had been created to give agents access to “the things they care about most”.
“There really is nothing like this out there in the homeworking sector right now,” he said. “When we were developing the concept, we didn’t want to just follow the mould – we wanted to bring a fresh approach and offer the very best homeworking package in the industry.”
Witt said Not Just Travel would not be recruiting “hundreds” of homeworkers and would instead look for those “with the right experience and attitude”.
Each potential recruit will be given a one-on-one meeting to gauge their suitability and then negotiate a “bespoke agreement”.
“Everyone has different needs,” Witt added. "If it works for them and works for us, then that’s great – it’s all about the quality of agent.”
Not Just Travel’s franchising and homeworking arms will be run as separate entities, with each taking part in its annual conference.
