437 - Airfares are Chaotic But Here's How to Save Your Clients' Money

Show 437

Show Notes

Airfares are chaotic, and the old models that tell you to book thirty days in advance, or any other time frame, no longer apply (if they ever did).  Airfares are affected by pandemic inspired consumer behavior,  labor shortages,  rising fuel prices,  new travel restrictions,  and many other things.  This makes predicting airfares almost impossible.  My guest on this show, Alex Malebranche, the founder of Plane Ahead, and  I discuss many of these trends and a way to get your clients the lowest airfare possible without changing your clients itinerary even after they've booked their flight.

428 - Why is SEO Important for the Travel Advisor?

Show 428
SHOW NOTES
As a travel advisor, your own website or blog is essential. This is where you will put your customer testimonials, post photos of trips that you and your clients have taken. And, importantly, it is a place to show your expertise and where potential customers can go to get to know you. But, you put all this
Google and SEO

work into your blog or website, and you discover that no one is finding you. Clients and potential clients search for you in Google, but they don’t find you because you are on page 10 of the search engine results. Most people don’t go past page 3 when they do a Google search.

So, how do you go about moving your website up into the top three pages? Well, this is where search engine optimization (SEO) comes into play. This is the topic of our show for this month. Our guest, Eric Seropyan, is a search engine and business marketing specialist. Eric gives us several tips on how to begin the journey of optimizing your website so the search engines will find you and move you up in the page ranking. SEO is a journey, so start yours today by listening to the show.

Show #424 - Rachel Hill's Two Easy Marketing Tools for Big Results

Podcast Number 424
SHOW NOTES

In previous episodes, we've talked about marketing tools such as Facebook, YouTube videos, and Instagram. You can feel like a small fish in a big pond in these marketing venues. You throw your message out there and you hope someone sees it and they engage with you to the extent they get to know you, like you, build trust, and eventually become your client. Or, if they are your client, you hope they see your message.

Rachel Hill, our guest on this month's show, is a travel marketing strategist and a social media influencer who generously shares some of her expertise. Rachel describes two marketing tools that are inexpensive, easy to use, and will engage your clients on a personal level. Chances are very good, with the use of these tools, that your clients will see your message. In addition, as a marketing strategist, Rachel gives us some strategies that you can use, with or without these easy tools, to communicate your expertise and build your brand.

Leveraging Social Media to Fire Up Your Business With Matt Bertram

Podcast Number 409
SHOW NOTES
Times have changed and your business success is now tied to how well you market on social media. Marketing on social media is more than just pushing out the information that you have on your business card. You must define what makes you different, develop a unique selling proposition, and then develop your reputation as an authority within your travel specialties. There are other steps too, including defining who your ideal customer is and then targeting those ideal customers using the social media tool you are most comfortable with. Does this sound difficult? It really isn't. Matt Bertram, our guest for this show, explains the details. This is a show you may want to listen to twice and, in addition, pick up Matt's book. I purchased Matt's book after we recorded the interview and you will not find better advice on how to develop your social media strategy. I bought the Kindle edition of the book and it was only $2.99 -- a great value for information that can boost your sales beyond what you might think possible. Please keep in mind that I'm receiving no compensation from Matt or his company for touting his advice or his book. This is just great information that can make a big difference for your business.

Where Did All the Money Go? How to Put to Work Every Dollar You Earn

Podcast Number 401
SHOW NOTES
You work hard for those commission dollars so every dollar you put back into your business or every dollar you put back into your personal finances, are best used if they are put back to work for you. The best way to do this is to make sure those dollars are going to where they are best used. In this show, Barry talks about a tool that has revolutionized his financial world. He no longer worries where the money is going to come from when those big yearly expenses come around like insurance and property taxes. Plus he is able to plan for those monthly expenses including the fun items he includes in his budget. Barry is recommending you check out the software service, "You Need A Budget." This recommendation comes from his seven years of experience with this product and the fact that it has made huge improvements to his financial well being. The recommendation in this show comes from Barry's experience and love of the software service and is not from a paid, or compensated in any other way, endorsement.

388 - How to Market With Video

Podcast Number 388
SHOW NOTES
Give your clients a taste of what they will experience on their next vacation with videos. There is hardly a better sales tool than a video with you, the travel agent, at a destination and talking about all the interesting things to do at that destination. A video such as this gives you instant credibility showing your clients that you have been there and experienced the things they want to experience. The only thing you need to produce a video is a smart phone, a Facebook account and/or a YouTube account.

Catherine Heeg from Customized Management Solutions joins our show to give you some insight on how easy it is to market your travel business with video. So listen in and learn how to create and promote your videos.

Podcast Number 366
SHOW NOTES
 Organizing all the tasks you need to accomplish for your business, personal life and family life is a daunting chore. This task list can overwhelm and add stress to the point where you ignore the list of tasks altogether. I've tried many types of task organizing tools and always feel overwhelmed when I view the long list of things to do. I've found a method to organize my task list that reduces stress and the overwhelmed feeling. In this Business 101 edition of the Show I explain the task management system I use and hopefully this method is a help for you and your business.

350 - Why You Should Change Your Business Model From Travel Agent To Travel Consultant

Podcast Number 350
GUEST SEGMENT
The world has moved beyond the traditional travel agent who at one time was simply an order taker. The client would tell the agent where they wanted to travel and the travel agent would book the trip. The internet can easily fulfill this function today. The travel agent of today must move into the world of travel consulting. Today's show features Nolan Burris from Future Proof Travel Travel solutions. Nolan tells us how we can successfully move our business from the realm of the travel agent to the world of the travel consultant.
