Lesley McFarland

Says lesley McFarland of Instant Cruise Holidays.  With Gold Club status (£50k+ commission per annum), Lesley has been working for the specialist division since 2003 when her passion for cruise holidays led her to Future Travel.

Before moving into homeworking, Lesley investigated the various options available but chose Future Travel as she felt the package available offered much more scope and opportunity to build a business, alongside greater earning potential.  "The commercial deals in place thanks to the backing of the Co-operative Group allow me to maximise my earning potential," she says.

Lesley has built up an impressive customer bank and now has over 500 clients who have booked with her.  "Customers are looking for great service and knowledge which they don't always get from booking directly through call centres.  The marketing which is managed centrally on my behalf helps me keep in touch with them on a regular basis."

Comprehensive training is provided along with year round marketing support.  What's more, new channels to market are being tapped into and agents are provided with a steady supply of top quality leads.  Put that together with the flexibility to sell other holidays besides cruise, and of course the option for commission payments on sale rather than departure, and you will quickly realise why sales turnover at Instant Cruise Holidays has tripled over the last three years.
