Congrats from the OutsideAgentLink.com Team!

Dear OutsideAgentLink.com Agents, 

For the past four years your host agency and Fare Buzz have been partners in an effort to provide the best of all worlds for your travel needs.

Although we have been through a difficult year the prevailing feeling is 2010, is moving in the right direction. This is the time to take advantage of our products and service.

For example, did you know we offer Overseas origination is most places? If someone takes a cruise to Europe and wants to fly back instead of taking the ship we can offer air fares for your clients.

Have you signed up for our Buzz Rewards? Each time you make a booking if you present your Buzz Rewards number you will receive points. Those points are the same as dollars I know because I made a purchase at Staples and it worked like a charm.

What about our Hotels? We have over 100,000 locations to choose from and our rates are exceptionally competitive. And of course, you can add a markup without any limits. The same holds true for our air fares, car rentals and vacation packages.

Groups! It appears that more and more group bookings are being requested from FareBuzz and that is always a good sign! We have a group department that will handle those requests. 

Many of you often ask how competitive are our air fares which is a fair question. To answer that question you need to break it down by the type of fare. For Domestic fares we are in the ball park there will be some differences but they are reasonably close. For International fares we have excellent fares which explains why our the many thousands of agencies continue to purchase fares from us.

Of course our specialty is Business and First class fares which has been our specialty since our inception in 1994.

If at any time you do not find what you are searching for please call our customer support department or your dedicate agent Frank at extension 119. You may contact me as well if you are not sure who to contact.

Please remember to always keep us in the loop and we will do our best to assist you.  Looking forward to another profitable year as FareBuzz and OutsideAgentLink.com partner for success in 2010!

Sincerely,

Don Newton, FareBuzz

 Please remember to REPORT YOUR SALE at the time your clients make their deposit.  We are receiving e-mail notifications, e-Docs and other important information on bookings that have no corresponding sales reports.  

Because of our desire to keep you in the loop, we do an unnecessary amount of research and guess work so we can get these notifications to the right agent.  As each month continues to get busier, we will not be able to cross-check a notification from a vendor if there is no Sales Report.  

Insure you are in the loop of what's happening with your clients, their plans and your commission by submitting a sales report IMMEDIATELY after your clients have made their initial deposit.  

THANK YOU!!!
