If you’re considering joining a host agency like Levarté Travel, one question that can and should come up in your research: How does the commission split work?
Which inevitably leads to why do they even exist?
On the surface, it might feel like you’re giving up part of your earnings. But commission splits represent real value in the form of tools, support, and opportunities that can help you grow your business faster than going solo. Let’s break it all down and show you why the split is more of an investment in your success than a cost.
Why Commission Splits Exist
A portion of the commission you earn goes toward everything that makes your business possible behind the scenes. With Levarté, this includes:
- Training and Education: From on-demand courses to live Q&A sessions, you get access to continuous learning that keeps you sharp and ahead of industry trends.
- Software and Technology: CRMs, marketing platforms, itinerary builders, and other tools come at a cost, but through Levarté, you access them at a fraction of what you’d pay alone.
- Industry Expertise: Levarté’s team includes seasoned travel professionals who act as your go-to resource when you need advice, supplier recommendations, or troubleshooting help.
- Community and Collaboration: Being part of a host agency means you’re never on an island. You have a community of advisors to share ideas with, learn from, and even partner on group opportunities.
All of these services, tools, and support structures require time, money, and industry relationships to maintain. Which is exactly what the commission split funds.
Higher Commission Structures Through Host Agency Partnerships
One of the biggest advantages of being with a host agency like Levarté is the collective sales power you gain.
Here’s what that means for you:
- As an independent advisor, you’re one person making bookings.
- With a host agency, your bookings are added to the entire network’s sales volume, making the host agency a top producer for many suppliers.
And what do top producers get? Higher commission tiers.
Suppliers reward high-producing agencies with better commission percentages. That means even after a split, you often earn far more than you would on your own because you’re accessing commission rates typically reserved for big-volume sellers.
For example, the average Levarté advisor earns 80–85% commissions thanks to our supplier partnerships – a percentage that would be difficult to achieve solo.
More Than Just a Paycheck: Built-In Value
When you join Levarté Travel, you’re not just paying for access. You’re investing in resources that help you work smarter and grow faster. The commission split allows you to save time by automating marketing and business processes that would otherwise eat up your day. It saves you money on technology and training resources you’d have to purchase on your own if you were independent. And perhaps most importantly, it helps you earn more by giving you access to higher supplier commissions and recognition within the industry.
The goal is to keep your business lean and efficient while removing the burden of administrative tasks, tech management, and supplier negotiations so you can focus on building relationships and selling travel.
The Bottom Line: Commission Splits Work in Your Favor
Rather than seeing the commission split as “losing” part of your income, think of it as buying back your time and opening doors to opportunities you wouldn’t have on your own. With Levarté Travel, you’re tapping into higher earnings through better supplier rates while also accessing industry-leading tools and training that help you operate like a pro from day one.
You’re also backed by expert support and a collaborative community invested in your success. All of this combines to create a business model that grows faster, smarter, and more profitably than going independent ever could.
