NEST Adds Independent Contractor Option Called NEST Plus April 15, 2021 The Network of Entrepreneurs Selling Travel (NEST) today announced that it was adding a new option for independent contracts (ICs) called NEST Plus, built to serve a growing number of ICs who want to work in a fully-hosted environment. NEST Plus is designed for those advisors who want “the financial choice for their business coupled with NEST’s rich mix of marketing, back-end technology, supplier partnerships and other services we offer,” NEST president Kathryn Mazza-Burney said in a statement announcing the news. NEST, for its part, was started 17 years ago and has since grown as the advisor community has increasingly shifted to being home-based. Now, Mazza-Burney and the NEST team are expanding their offerings to “serve a growing segment of unbound travel advisors with our suite of personalized services,” she said.
