SmartFlyer Honors its SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producers

Sixteen agencies will be celebrated as SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producers in Madrid, Spain, in collaboration with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

NEW YORK, NY (January 6, 2023) – Sixteen SmartFlyer affiliate agencies spanning the United States and Australia have received the coveted recognition of SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producer for their outstanding achievements. The SmartFlyer platform supports over 250 travel agents, many of whom have developed their own brand identity within the agency’s ecosystem, one that has continually evolved throughout the company’s thirty-three-year history.

Awards will be presented in an exclusive gathering between SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producers and a select group of preferred partners during SmartFlyer CORE, the organization’s annual agency-wide summit, to be held at the Four Seasons Hotel Nashville in January. During this celebration, SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producers will each receive a unique, hand-selected journey with offerings ranging from a twelve-night Fire and Ice safari itinerary through South Africa with Singita and The Royal Portfolio followed by an Antarctic expedition with White Desert, to a three-week Thailand adventure with stays across IHG Hotels & Resorts, Capella Hotels and Resorts and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, to eleven nights in Chile with Tierra Hotels.

To qualify as a SmartFlyer ONE Top Producer in 2022, the minimum revenue threshold was $5.8M in actualized sales with several agencies producing over $15M in sales.

SmartFlyer ONE was conceptualized in 2015 as a way to recognize the agency’s top-producing advisors; at the time, the minimum revenue to achieve the honor was just over $1M in sales. To qualify as a SmartFlyer ONE Top Producer in 2022, the minimum revenue threshold was $5.8M in actualized sales with several agencies producing over $15M in sales. While many agents within our Independent Contractor community thrive in team settings, each lead Principal below is recognized exclusively on the merit of their own sales, not their collective team revenue. Michael Holtz, SmartFlyer CEO and founder, shares, “Each of these SmartFlyer ONE agencies demonstrate exceptional dedication to their clients, both in the business and leisure sector. We continue to be in awe of their achievements which only grow more impressive with each passing year.”

SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producer recipients include:

This year, in addition to the fourteen single Principal agencies listed above, we are recognizing two affiliate partnerships representing an average of $14M in actualized revenue: Imperial SmartFlyer and Marchay.

“It’s been inspiring to witness the evolution of this program over the past seven years,” said Erina Pindar, COO and Managing Partner of SmartFlyer. “We have created space for a moderate rise in the number of agencies affiliating with our network, but ultimately, the increased production of each individual advisor has spurred the organic growth of our community. This year, of the 250+ agents powered by our platform, the average annual revenue was $1.7M. Even more notably, 64 affiliates achieved over $2M in actualized sales.”

This summer, in partnership with Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Pindar and Holtz will host a think tank in Madrid, Spain. The legendary Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid, will be the home base for SmartFlyer ONE 2022 Top Producers to explore the city’s thriving arts, fashion, and culinary scene. The four-night itinerary will include exclusive access to some of the Spanish capital’s most sought-after attractions opened by SmartFlyer Elevate–the agency’s network of preferred partners–ground operators. As always, the ethos of the trip is centered on the continued collection of shared knowledge; every experience is meant to provide both inspiration and first-hand recommendations to be passed on to existing and future clients.
