1. Selecting your Commission Package
Your first step is selecting your commission package. We offer four different packages ranging from 60%-90%. Keep in mind you are able to increase commission throughout your contract with Gateway Travel. If you request to increase your commission package it does take 45 business days for the new commission to take effect. Another thing to keep in mind is our Sub-Agent program is only accessible for agents in the 70%, 80%, or 90% plan. If you are wanting to utilize the Sub-Agent program be sure to sign up with a 70% or higher package.
