Travel Agent Chatter | Friday 15

Are Booking Platforms Always Confusing? Should I Add Booking Metrics To My Site? Is BOI Required For All Agencies?


Listen Later

In episode 181 Steph cohosts with a longtime Friday 15 friend, April Swales of Uniglobe Travel! Here's a taste of the topics they'll tackle -- via your questions! 

1. I'm a new advisor and the host agency's booking platform is soooo complicated! I'm still trying to make it through the training. Thinking about switching to another host. Are booking platforms so complicated in general? How can you find out?  —Marsha G.

2. Hi Steph, I've been a long-time listener and am now a regular caller—love the show!

For my Friyay! 15 Question, I’m thinking about adding my booking metrics data like the number of booked cruises, flights, and destinations to my website. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, how would an agent go about adding that information to the site?

All this to help build a trusting relationship with clients about the services that we provide.

Thanks for your insights! I’ll hang up and listen now.😁


Best,

Quincy H.


3. Hi Steph! I saw your post on LinkedIn about the Beneficial Ownership Information. Is this required for all agencies? Why haven’t I heard about this before? —Anonymous
