DISCLAIMER:
This episode is NOT for you if you hate money. 😬
On episode #20 I talked about my relationship with money and how as travel agents, we relate to it as actors and other artists do.

If you are in group A, there is hope for you and as someone who has been charging fees for over 8 years I have cracked the code to shift your mindset and create an offer that your potential clients will not resist.
And for you, Mr or Mrs Proud, allow me to reframe the idea of charging fees, may I...?

A Knock from a travel client recently made me think deeply about the future of our roles as travel advisors. I still remain optimistic and positive we will get through this time and know our role is valuable.
There are a few things though that have worked for me in the past that I want to help you with in your travel business.
This week I share with you a conversation I had with a now ex-client (after I fired them) and how I was so confident in my conversation with them that has spurred me to make a bigger difference in the industry sharing with you my knowledge.
If you feel like you want to reach out, please connect with me on socials @travelagentachievers on both IG & FB. If you want the insider knowhow and be prepared for when things turnaround, check out our 6 Week Rebuild you travel business program (with some exciting bonuses - as its my birthday month and I am showering you with gifts ;-))
