WHAT’S THE JOB?:
A NAVIS Reservation Sales Agent helps prospective guests plan and book their reservations at our clients’ amazing properties. Who are our clients? They are vacation rental companies and independently-owned hotels located in popular resort destinations – many of whom you may be familiar with. Our Reservation Sales Agents truly feel like an extension of the client’s reservation team because they are trained and knowledgeable of each property. Again, this is NOT timeshare sales. There is NO cold calling involved.
ABOUT THE POSITION:
In this part-time, home-based position, you will be handling inbound calls from prospective guests who are interested in booking a vacation and want more details about the specific property they have in mind. Calls are consultative in nature with the goal of helping and guiding the guest to book his/her stay. Once you successfully book a guest, you earn a commission on top of your hourly base rate. The more guests you book, the more money you make!
We will train you in a virtual environment through live, instructor-led training sessions on our systems, our processes, and the properties of our clients so you feel confident in helping prospective guests enjoy these incredible properties.

In case you have questions about the COVID-19 CoronaVirus and how it’s affecting these positions:
Will I have any person-to-person contact with anyone during the hiring / training process for this position?
No. The good news is that these NAVIS Reservation Sales positions are all work-at-home positions by design, and they have been for several years – well before the recent COVID-19 CoronaVirus events began. All of our interviewing, training, and the job itself are done remotely from the comfort of your home office. So, although we will virtually “meet” you via video conference if you make it to the final stage of the interview process and beyond, you will NOT need to come into an office at any time during our hiring / training process and the job will be done remotely from your home.
I’ve heard the travel / hotel industry is being negatively affected right now by the COVID-19 CoronaVirus situation. Does that impact this position?
I’m sure you have heard the travel / hotel industry has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as states are opening their services, we are seeing an exciting increase in call volume and we anticipate a busy and prosperous season. Hiring decisions for these positions will be made in the fall / winter and we are keeping a close watch on the market to ensure we hire the right number of agents to meet our clients’ needs for this winter’s anticipated volume.
