“A POSSIBLE PTN RECORD??!!”
“…After Only 4 Days in the Business” - By Shenika Douglas
“My name is Shenika Douglas, I am a single mom born and raised in the Caribbean. Thanks to my sponsor Terry Lynch, I just became an agent with PTN this month (October) after seeing the webinar the previous night. I absolutely fell in love with the opportunity and was determined to succeed in the travel industry. Pro travel has a great bonus program and the rewards are priceless. I took a different approach to this business because I am determined to hit the $5000 in commissions so that I can earn that all expenses paid trip to Jamaica. This would also allow me to mingle amongst the pioneers of Pro Travel Network and get my IATAN card. I started my training courses and completed at least 3 per day ranging from vacations, cruises, auto, air, groups, hotels, getting started and sales and marketing.
