As a seasoned travel agency owner, you've dedicated countless hours to building your business. You've faced one challenge after another, from shifting travel tastes to global, industry-shaking disruptions. But the one problem you can’t seem to solve?
Finding the time and resources to train your team effectively.
You love your team – you really do. But there’s no college degree for aspiring travel advisors, and very few fields (if any) offer job experiences that translate to the travel industry. As a result, you’re not sure if your advisors feel equipped to do the job you’re asking them to do.
You worry about high turnover, sagging morale, and lost sales.
But the thought of creating a meaningful training program feels daunting, if not impossible. And what’s out there for new advisors is essentially useless: either too vague to be helpful or too narrowly focused to help advisors build the solid foundation they need. You’re stuck.

Module 1: Being a Travel Advisor
Before you ever work with your first client, you need to understand what it means to be a travel advisor – because there are a lot of misconceptions out there we need to clear up.
Module 2: Working with Clients
Your work as a travel advisor truly begins when you get your first client. It’s a big moment… but what do you do now? Let’s walk through the process, step by step, from start to finish.
Module 3: Building Your Brand
Your brand as a travel advisor is so much more than a logo. It’s about laying the right foundation in order to attract the types of clients you want to work with. Here’s how to do it.
Module 4: Marketing Must-Haves
You’ll be tempted to do a bit of everything in marketing your travel business. Don’t. Here are the three things to focus on right away, plus some additional marketing you can do later.
Module 5: Systemize to Succeed
You might be able to get away with winging it for a while in the beginning, but once the clients start rolling in, you will drown without systems. So, how should you think about systems?
Module 6: Nuances of the Job
There are some aspects of being a travel advisor you only learn about through experience. But with a heads-up from someone who’s been there, you can prepare for what lies ahead.
