A new career and a turn-key business for under $10K. GolfAhoy Golf Travel Ambassador IC license, a self employed one person, home-office based, golf tourism specialist market niche sales & marketing business.

GolfAhoy Golf Travel Ambassador IC’s are NOT travel agents.

Ambassadors act solely as ‘Golf Cruise & Golf Tour’ sales and marketing IC’s (Independent Contractors) on behalf of GolfAhoy Cruise Planners.

All group and FIT golf tour & golf cruise bookings generated through the sales and marketing efforts of GolfAhoy Golf Travel Ambassadors are channeled through the GolfAhoy Cruise Planners Reservations Department exclusively.

If you are looking for a ‘travel agent’ business model franchise, and your desire is to ‘service’ travel clients directly yourself, and if you reside in the United States, we suggest you give consideration to applying for a Cruise Planners Franchise: 1.888.582.2150 or visit http://www.cruiseplannersfranchise.com/

 GolfAhoy www.GolfAhoy.com has been serving North American golf families with the ultimate in worldwide golf travel adventures since 1988.

GolfAhoy principally serves the upper net worth segment of the international golf community – a targeted niche market that represents the highest discretionary incomes and spending on recreational travel – coupled with the highest rate of loyal repeat and referral client business within the $4 trillion travel industry.

17.3 Million Golfers bought golf travel trips last year in the USA alone.

At GolfAhoy the target market is surgically defined with exquisite precision – customers come from the 27 million golfers in the USA & Canada; 7 million golfers in Europe; 14 million golfers in Asia; 2 million golfers in Australia & New Zealand; 1 million golfers in Latin America and over 500,000 active golf enthusiasts in the Republic of South Africa.

GolfAhoy Golf Travel Ambassadors earn the highest sales commissions in the industry. You don’t have to play golf to be a successful GolfAhoy Ambassador. Only one in three GolfAhoy Ambassadors claims to be a low handicap golfer! We want personality people to join our network who we can train to follow our successful golf travel sales & marketing systems.

The next time you and your golf travel companions sign up to accompany a group golf trip at your club; a place of business; alumni association; friends or family reunion or for a non-profit fundraiser; or perhaps you win a hole-in-one ‘all expense paid golf cruise prize with a value of $11,000’ at the next golf tournament you participate in, chances are increasingly likely that a skilled GolfAhoy Ambassador had a guiding hand in the sales and marketing process in selecting your trip or hole-in-one prize from one of the 5,000 packaged golf tours that GolfAhoy Ambassadors are trained to present.  

If you have strong interpersonal skills and an enthusiastic business ethic GolfAhoy can show you how to create a six figure annual income stream with reliable year after year repeat business right from the comfort of your home based office.

Return on your $9,600 franchise license fee – ROI
While exploring the plethora of franchise and licensed business opportunities available to you – one of the first questions you should ask yourself is “How long will it take for me to realize an entire return of my investment if I buy this business opportunity or franchise”?

A GolfAhoy Ambassador business is one of the only business opportunities or franchises you’ll find that gives you a full return on investment with just 4 or 5 sales
Sell just 4 or 5 couples a popular ‘GolfAhoy 10 Day VIP Deluxe Circle Hawaii Golf/Spa Cruise’ package and at 17% commission you earn $9,600 – a 100% return on your GolfAhoy Ambassador License fee
