What Host Agencies Wish Advisors Knew Before Joining with Shayna Zand
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Choosing a host agency can shape your entire travel business—but it’s often misunderstood.
In this episode, we're joined by Shayna Zand from Host Agency Reviews to break down what host agencies are actually designed to do for advisors, and what they’re not.
We unpack common misconceptions around fees and commission splits, why long-term success has more to do with fit and expectations than numbers on paper, and what truly separates advisors who thrive at a host agency from those who struggle, even within the same host.
This episode is a must-listen for agents and advisors considering a host, thinking about switching, or wanting to get more value from the one they’re with.
