This is all about how you go from those early days of working with anyone and everyone, to moving up to the next level of clients.

Before bringing in any outside help, follow these steps:

1 - You become too busy. Identify what needs to change.

2 - Reevaluate your systems/process. How can you improve or what can you say no to.

3 - Rinse and repeat.

Everyone's fav topic - suppliers! We're talking about different types (even stumble onto a definition) and how they fit in with consortias or preferred lists.

In this one we are doing a bit of a wrap up for 2019 and talking about what's to come for 2020.

As always we'd love to hear from you, find us on Instagram @travelprotheory

Doing it a little different this time! We're constantly talking things out in the background, so for this episode we went full freestyle. Here us riff on changes in the travel industry and talking out what changes we think are coming.

We are asked about hiring all the time, and while we don't claim to be the experts (we're in the thick of it now) as always we are happy to share. In this episode we talk out bringing on assistants and ICs. As always you can reach us on the gram @travelprotheory

It's incredibly easy to join our industry as a travel advisor. Too easy, in our opinion. We go over why having no barrier to entry is hurting all of us.

We are asked about fees all the time, so that's what this episode is all about. When to charge, how much to charge, we walk you through our thought process on this topic. We also touch on a bit of how operators work, as it relates to recent news of bigger names going under.

This one is all about fam trips and relationships! Note - I (Kate) get a smidge ranty at bits on this one. Please don't take it personally, I had just come off a bad experience and had some misdirected frustration. No intro or edits on this one, we recorded in a different studio with different software so is what it is peeps.

Another listener question ep! We were asked, what makes travelers buy? So we walk you through what we've learned over the years.
