Travel Geniuses Podcast For Travel Agents

We're talking about everyone's favorite perk - FAM trips! I'm NOT going to cover how to get invited on a FAM, how to get travel agent "deals" or anything like that.  What I am going to talk about is how travel agents can make the most of these trips, so that they come home with tons of content for their blogs and social media accounts. 

In this episode we talk about the age-old debate - are we travel agents, or travel advisors? I'll give you my take on the debate (it might not be what you think) And will also tell you the ONE thing you need to do if you want to be seen as a travel advisor. 

I've had a lot of questions about how to get started as a travel agent, so in this episode, we're talking to Steph Lee all about host agencies. Steph is the founder of Host Agency Reviews - a website where agents can rate and review host agencies online - and she knows her stuff.  Steph was as nice as could be and brought up some things to consider that I hadn't thought of before, so I'm sure even you experienced agents will enjoy this conversation.  

In this episode, we're talking about FEES! I thought you all knew why you should be charging fees, but I'm learning that some agents don't even know this is a thing! So if you don't know why you should be charging fees, or if you DO know why, but are just scared to start - this episode is for YOU!!

Your website should look nice, of course! But it should also actually WORK to help you grow your business.  In this episode, we'll talk about your website, and a few really easy things you should be sure to include on your homepage if you want your website to help you build your audience and attract new customers. 

Are you struggling to find time to add content to your social media accounts? In a perfect world we'd all have time to create custom content to post to our social media accounts every day. Since we don't live in a perfect world, I've come up with a super easy way to keep my social media accounts full of great content, even when I'm out of town on an extended trip. And I'm sharing that with you in this episode!

Do you dread Monday? You shouldn't! You have the best job. In this episode I'll help you pinpoint tasks that drain you, figure out how to turn them into something you don't hate as much, and decide which of them you can get rid of altogether.

It is SO important for travel agents to choose a niche before they do anything else to promote or grow their businesses.  This will change EVERYTHING and in this episode we'll break down all of the benefits, and give you some tips to help you figure out your niche, too. 

In this episode, we discuss how travel agents can use clients NOT as a present, or a bribe/rebate in exchange for a booking, but as an actual tool that helps get your clients talking about you to their friends and family. We talk about how this works, and share some of our favorite gifts to give to clients.

These are some of my favorite tools. I use them every day and don't know how I would run my business without them anymore. Best of all? They're all FREE! Not free trials, but 100% free.
