Outside Agents Sees Increase in Training Platform Usage

 

Jacksonville, FL, August 18, 2022 – OutsideAgents.com, America’s premier host travel agency, is seeing a significant increase in the usage of its members-only online training platform in 2022. The My Agent Genie Learning Management System [MAGLMS] is OutsideAgents.com‘s exclusive on-demand training platform that allows member agents to complete training for various travel-related topics, including travel types and destinations. In addition, MAGLMS also offers unique courses such as fraud prevention, brand building, and entrepreneurship. Agents who complete specific training courses available in MAGLMS receive specialist designations to publish on their websites, social media sites, etc., that let clients know they are exceptionally suited to assist them with their trip needs.

 

Amber Miller, OutsideAgents.com‘s Director of Digital Learning & Development, said, “Outside Agents members are definitely educating themselves more and taking the time to take advantage of all the benefits of MAGLMS, which is designed for both experienced agents and those that are new to the travel industry. We had a 34% increase in MAGLMS engagement between Q1, 2022 and Q2, 2022 and a 103% increase in MAGLMS engagement between Q2, 2021 and Q2, 2022.”

 

Chad Burt, Co-Owner of OutsideAgents.com, said, “We are so proud of the MAGLMS training platform we have built for our network, and as a result of the increased usage, we are seeing consistent growth in the number of agents selling more travel. We will continue to enhance our training program and resources, helping our agents become even more knowledgeable and ready to provide unparalleled travel experiences for their clients.”

 

OutsideAgents.com also offers live training sessions in their Jacksonville, Florida office, including specific topics such as New Agent, Advanced Agent, and Luxury & Exotic Travel and Groups interactive training workshops. Dan Crutchfield, Executive Vice President, Sales & Agent Development, said, “There continues to be high demand for our award-winning live training events.
