Susan Weissberg
President & CEO

Independent travel agents looking for exceptional career opportunities with an established agency serving the luxury travel market will find an ally in Susan Weissberg, president and CEO of Wylly’s Professional Travel, Coral Gables, FL.
Weissberg’s goal is to recruit, train and motivate a small group of elite agents with existing clientele who have the skills and drive to serve the most demanding market segment — the high-end luxury traveler who demands and can afford the best.
The luxury market is expanding in terms of cruises and land based vacations, as well as customized travel backed by personalized services, Weissberg believes. With 24 independent agents now, Weissberg wants to expand the reach of Wylly’s — including international associates who can service and escort clients.
Wylly’s clients include the wealthy, celebrities and royalty, as well as travelers of means who want to tap into its agents’ knowledge of worldwide destinations and travel options. They demand and expect superlative service, innovative itineraries and in-depth expertise from their agents.
A member of Ensemble Travel Group’s Board of Directors, Weissberg sees Wylly’s affiliation with Ensemble as a key alliance to provide Wylly’s clientele with a host of high integrity brands on a global basis who deliver on product and service.
The Ensemble affiliation also gives independent agents a tremendous array of cruise and vacation programs, ranging from hosted cruises to exclusive hotel, resort villa and vacation home offers for individuals and families.
“Ensemble’s suppliers are partners with the agency. They are consistently delivering value — and value is one of the core motivations of luxury travelers,” Weissberg said.
“The luxury agent must have the expertise that goes well beyond booking procedures to real knowledge of destinations and resources. They have to know their clients and their preferences.”
One key to the success of Wyllys’ agents — many earn in the five-figure range — is Weissberg’s commitment to hands-on education and training — including lots of travel to experience first-hand the destinations and services offered.
“We are dedicated to 24/7 service to clients and often provide the escorts for groups.” She stresses the need for personal training as well as professional and Web based training. “We invest in our agents and good agents deserve nurturing.”
Weissberg sees Wylly’s independent agents as counselors and advisors — not order takers. They must develop the ability to sell and counsel and advise and recommend based on professional knowledge. Weissberg is proud of Wyllys’ track record — the agency was founded in 1939 — and her own three decades at Wyllys’ helm. Compensation plans are based on performance and tiered to levels of production of the independent agent.
Wylly’s independent agents are also supported with state of the art technology, IATA membership, direct mail and email marketing and promotion campaigns.
Another advantage of working with an established luxury travel oriented Host agency is that luxury travelers want to work with competent agents, Weissberg said.
“The combination of an established Host agency, community roots, an expanding client base, solid compensation and ongoing training — all backed by our affiliation with Ensemble Travel and growth in demand add up to exceptional opportunity,” Weissberg said.
