New Yearlong Invite-Only Program Launches First Cohort and Combines Coaching and Peer Collaboration to Take Successful Owners to the Next Level
IRVING, TX (September 4, 2026) – Nexion Travel Group is expanding its business development resources with the launch of Business Growth Club, a new yearlong, invitation-only program designed to help established travel agency owners turn business goals into actionable growth plans.
Launching at CoNexion 2026 in Austin, Texas, the inaugural cohort brings together 38 high-performing Nexion agency owners for strategic planning, expert coaching, peer collaboration and accountability. Participants have all achieved Nexion’s Circle, Summit or Pinnacle of Excellence status, recognizing the host agency’s high producers. The launch comes as Nexion has seen an 82% increase in the number of members reaching these top production levels over the past reporting period from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026. Due to the success of these programs, new tiers of recognition in Circle of Excellence (Summit and Pinnacle) were a key driver in the development of this program, as Nexion realized that its top producers had distinct development needs and could benefit from additional attention and development with their experts.
“Successful agency owners often reach a point where growth requires them to think differently about their business,” said Jackie Friedman, CTC, VTA, President of Nexion Travel Group. “They’re asking: How do I scale? Where should I be spending my time? What should I delegate? Which systems need to change? Business Growth Club gives our members the structure, expertise and peer community to answer those questions and act on the answers.”
Rather than traditional business education, Business Growth Club centers on each participant’s individual agency. Members will develop a 12-month strategic plan, establish measurable goals and work with Nexion’s Business Development team and fellow agency owners throughout the year to put their plans into action.
The program follows Nexion’s four-part growth framework: Define Your Destination, Identify the Roadblocks, Create the Route and Take the Wheel. At the inaugural session, participants will identify responsibilities they should protect, develop, delegate, automate or eliminate and leave with an individualized 90-day roadmap and measurable action items.
Business Growth Club was developed by Nexion’s expanded Business Development team, led by Director Martin Mussey. Mussey brings over a decade of coaching experience to the role including five years as the owner of his own coaching business and is a certified Business Coach. Since joining Nexion in 2017, he has applied the philosophy that coaching is not just for those beginning or struggling, but for successful business owners who can also benefit from an outsider who gives them perspective, guidance and accountability Mussey and three business development and coaching experts will guide participants throughout the year.
“Our top members have already built successful businesses. They’re asking what comes next,” said Mussey. “Business Growth Club gives them the opportunity to step outside the day-to-day, look critically at the business they’re building and create a plan to move it forward. We want them to finish the year not simply inspired, but able to point to meaningful changes they’ve made in their businesses.”
A new group of qualifying Nexion members will be invited to participate in Business Growth Club each year, creating an ongoing opportunity for accomplished agency owners to continue growing their businesses within the Nexion community.
