Mark Elie started K&E Travel in February of 1990.
Mark started the travel agency as an adjunct to a promotional company that sold over 20 Million Vacation Certificates in the first 20 years in business. Although that promotion company is a shell of it's former self, the Travel Agency has survived.
Mark joins Mitch on this episode to tell his story and how he has developed a profitable business in an ever-changing industry. You can also watch a video of their discussion on our YouTube Channel.
He started with just a few agents in house and grew to over 28 employees doing over 1,000 Airline tickets a week. In the late 1990's when the airlines cut out commissions on airline tickets, he re-grouped and reduced staff.
In 2002, Mark started a home-based travel agent program that has grown over the years to have over 350+ agents across the country. These are people who book travel for themselves and/or others earning commissions while they do so.
K & E's tag line is : If you are booking travel for yourself and/or others and are not getting a check when you come home, you need to be working with K&E Travel !
