What can help a travel agent secure a better salary from an employer?

For all practical purposes, a travel agent who works for a higher level person such as a manager or owner can succeed in obtaining a higher salary. Disregarding any incentive plans the employer might have, the travel agent is a sales person in a manner of speaking. The more clients that walk in the door, and leave with a travel package suggested by the travel agent the better the chances for higher pay. The travel agent must enjoy working with potential tourists and be knowledgeable with a variety of vacation destinations. The "ins and outs" of a travel destination is needed to help a potential tourist buy the travel packages the Agency is providing. It's always a good idea also, to have been a tourist in the places that customers frequently like to travel to. Other things such as being accurate and patient when dealing with potential customers are important.
