Show #415 - The Future of Travel

Podcast Number 415

Interview with Catherine Heeg of Customized Management Solutions.

SHOW NOTES

Have you wondered what travel will look like after the Covid-19 virus winds down, or maybe even before? There are definite signs that the virus is speeding the development of technological innovations faster than anticipated. Your clients may encounter robots and artificial intelligence at hotels, theme parks, and airlines. Catherine Heeg and I talk about some of these innovations and how you can prepare your clients for a brave new world. In fact, you can use this information now to communicate with and stay connected to your clients. We also discuss some ways that you can start selling travel now and begin receiving some commission during the remaining months of 2020. You don't want to miss this show because it is packed full of ideas and information that you can use today. Something new happened during this show and that was that Catherine and I recorded video while producing the show. If you've wondered about the faces behind the voices then wonder no more.

SHOW NOTES

Even though tourism and travel aren't back into full swing it is time to plant those seeds and inspire your clients. Many of your clients and potential clients are ready to get out of the house so now is the time to stay in touch by taking them on a mental journey with photos, videos, and stories about travel adventures that you know they will enjoy. Along with the photos and videos, you can engage your clients with questions and polls on Facebook. You can ask them questions such as what they plan to do on that first travel outing and where are they planning to travel. Catherine Heeg explains how to engage your social media followers in this month's show. As Catherine explains, you can not only engage your followers, you can use social media tools to keep track of that engagement so you can follow up with targeted content and soft sales pitches. Now is the time to prepare your clients for that big vacation they've been waiting for so join us on this month's show and learn more.
