Frequently Asked Questions

There is no fee to apply to be in The 1000.

There is no fee to receive recognition as part of The 1000. We don’t believe in “pay-to-play” for recognizing and congratulating you for achieving success. That’s why we don’t charge for recognition; you’ve already earnt it through your hard work.

In the future – after mid-2023 – there will be an entirely optional fee to take advantage of added benefits of being part of The 1000. And there is no request to commit to this fee now or at any point prior to its introduction – we’ll give you plenty of notice and time to decide if you’d like to participate in things such as an online community, virtual and in-person events, and more.

You can expect to hear from us in approximately 2 weeks from the date you submit your application. Verification timelines depend on how quickly we are able to work with you to contact and verify the information contained in your application.

The required sales level will vary each year based on the sales levels of those who apply. For the 2022 year, an advisor with over US$1M in annual sales will possibly be accepted and an advisor with over US$2M in annual sales is very likely to be accepted.

When you input your Total Sales on the first screen, please include all sales, service fees, and commissions as this Total Sales is meant to be your gross amount of sales for the full year.

No problem! E-mail us at info@the1000.club and we’ll take care of it.

We understand that sales data can be hard to come by, particularly if you are applying based on 2019, however we would prefer that you use every effort to include gross traveled sales data in your application where possible. “Traveled sales data” means the gross sales information of clients (including all travel sales, service fees, and commissions) whose travels happened within that year period. Just like our verification process, this is to ensure the highest quality of membership in The 1000 for the benefit of all advisors in the program. If you only have access to invoiced sales, that is fine as well as we can still use that information to verify your profile with suppliers.

If you work with and/or book with another advisor (or several advisors), we suggest using your best efforts to split the sales information proportionately between each advisor based on who has the most influence on that particular client’s bookings. This will help ensure that each advisor can apply for The 1000 and that each advisor is recognized individually for their efforts to influence and book their clients.

The purpose of The 1000 is to recognize and reward individual advisors’ level of booking influence with their clients. What this “influence” means is that it’s most important that when an advisor applies for The 1000 that they are applying with sales information directly related to their individual client booking relationships.

We know that the last few years have been difficult (to say the least) for travel advisors and that’s why you can apply using either your 2019 or 2021 sales figures. No matter what your sales are, there is a future for you in The 1000 that we are building. We are inviting everyone to apply, no matter their sales volume, as over time we’ll be creating programs to help all advisors improve their sales by learning from the best practices of top travel advisors in the world.
