What she loves about the travel industry: Client satisfaction, plain and simple. It is especially gratifying to experience the joy and relief they express when their ideal trip is booked; the happiness I see and hear when the trip is paid in full; the phone call or email on their return saying they had a great time and all they had to do was show up - makes my day every time!
What is key for travel advisors in 2020: Congratulate your peers who are beginning to book travel, channel that energy and remember that not everyone is ready to book travel yet - your time will come. Stay relevant and top of mind for your clients and continue to nurture them. Be sure to use this time wisely and take a long and honest look at your business, setting it up to run more smoothly, making certain you are ready for the travel reboot. It's also essential and imperative that you know your worth, establish a fee structure, and implement it with confidence - you have the expertise! Take some time to re-evaluate the suppliers you do business with to be certain they have both you and your clients' best interests as part of their core values.
