Commercial, operational and practical.
How and when are ambassador commissions paid?
Commissions are calculated on a transparent gross margin or gross booking basis depending on the vertical. Payments are triggered automatically upon receipt of cleared client funds or booking deposit, wired directly to your corporate or personal account within 48 hours.
How is my client attribution protected if they book again next season?
SOMA operates a relational CRM. Once you originate and register a client, their profile is permanently attributed to your ambassador account. When that client requests another private flight, yacht charter, or villa months or years later, even without contacting you first, your commission is automatically recorded and paid out.
Can I do this while travelling or running other projects?
Yes. There are no fixed office hours, mandatory meetings, or territorial confinement. Whether you are in St. Tropez for July, Miami in December, or traveling between Fashion Weeks, you originate and progress deals directly from WhatsApp while SOMA executes the logistics.
How does the client perceive me during the booking process?
You are positioned as a Senior Commercial Ambassador of a private firm, never a freelance middleman or an amateur promoter. SOMA equips you with proposals, branded itineraries, and defensible pricing that elevate your standing in front of your network.
What is the average transaction size and commission per deal?
Our average private aviation charter is $45,000, superyacht charters range from $60,000 to $180,000+, and summer villa buyouts average $35,000 to $90,000. Typical ambassador payouts range between $3,500 and $18,000+ per individual booking. Multi vertical bundle trips (e.g. Flight + Yacht + Villa + Event Access) frequently yield single payouts exceeding $30,000 to $50,000.
Do I need aviation, yacht or concierge experience?
No. SOMA's central operations desk handles the complex sourcing, operator negotiations, safety audits, manifests, and logistics. Your core role is relationship intelligence: understanding the client's objective, qualifying the dates and budget, and introducing SOMA.
How fast does the desk deliver quotes once I send a brief?
For private aviation, yacht charters, and standard villa requests, our sourcing desk generates qualified proposals within 90 to 120 minutes. You receive two concrete, ready to close options formatted for WhatsApp.
What happens if an operator cancels or changes timing?
SOMA's 24/7 operations team manages all recovery, standby assets, operator SLAs, and contingencies. You never have to scramble at 3 AM to find a replacement aircraft; our operations desk solves it.
What if my client needs confidentiality or an NDA?
Discretion is our foundational operating pillar. SOMA routinely structures flights, estates, and private logistics for high profile figures and family offices under strict non disclosure agreements. Client identities and flight manifests are never exposed or circulated.
How much time does it take?
Ambassador representation is completely flexible and fits into the social and travel calendar you already have. Most ambassadors spend 3 to 5 hours a week managing conversations via WhatsApp while SOMA executes the fulfillment.
Why is admission selective?
Our operator relationships and access contracts depend on brand alignment and serious demand. We do not accept mass applicants. We partner with individuals who naturally move in these circles, understand discretion, and have direct access to decision makers.
Is there any cost, subscription or fee to join?
None. There are no upfront fees, software subscriptions, or franchise costs. SOMA earns when bookings close, so our incentives are aligned. If accepted, you get the playbooks, CRM access, and operations support at no cost.
