ith our party hats on and
noisemakers in hand, we’re
celebrating GTI’s fifth birthday!
That’s right, five years ago Michael Gross
and Randy Warren started this company
in a broom closet with only a dream.
In the past five years, Global Travel
International
has
grown
tremendously, and that growth has
translated into added benefits for
our Independent Agents. Coming
in May, our newsletter will host a
new section, Dirt Cheap Deals,
featuring awesome specials,
Independent Agent Fams and bonus
commissions. The official GTI website at
www.GTIWeb.com, will also have a Dirt
Cheap Deals section which will be updated
weekly!
No matter how fast we grow, we always
remember what’s most important - you,
the Independent Agent. If it
weren’t for the travel you’ve sold
and the people you’ve referred,
Michael and Randy would still
be stuck in that broom closet.
Thank you for your support over
the past five years. We look
forward to many wonderful years
to come!
