TRAVEL IN LUXURY AROUND THE WORLD...FOR FREE!Gregory Gopman

Do wish to see the world?

Do you not have millions of dollars?

That is perfectly alright

How are these two questions related you may ask

Traveling the world without spending all the money in your family’s bank account is as simple as becoming a travel advisor

Becoming a travel advisor is hard work and not for everyone but it has countless perks and priceless positives

Luxury travel advisors traverse the world attending meetings, expositions, events, and more on a regular basis

This is not becoming a travel agent and being transactional and sales oriented, but instead working directly with other travelers on a more personal basis and sharing your experiences to enhance their vacation

Virtuoso CEO, Matthew Upchurch has been quoted in saying “Travel advisors manage your most valuable, non-renewable asset: your leisure time,” and “I’ve never seen people go from zero dollars to a million-dollar book of business in such a short amount of time.”

Upchurch went on to say that travel advisors bridge the often overwhelming gap between a salesperson and the vacationing party

Although you will be able to attend ritzy parties, swim in areas considered uncharted to most, and eat foreign delicacies from around the globe, being a travel advisor is a full time occupation

The position comes with a lot of responsibility and work but is rewarding, exciting, and educational at the same time

STEP ONE:

Contact a host agency close to where you currently live

Also feel free to reach out to companies like Virtuoso for an informational interview

Stay up to date on travel publications to stay informed on the industry

Travel Pulse, Travel Weekly, and Luxury Travel Advisor are great picks

DON’T EXPECT IMMEDIATE FINANCIAL RETURNS:

Becoming the best in the field may take some time

Over the course of your first year you will grow your business as much as you want to put into it

Most advisors see their work really paying off in their second year

UNDERSTAND YOU’RE IN SALES:

You must be willing to put yourself out there in front of people and sell yourself

You must be able to deliver all the right information to clients and be able to blow them away with your knowledge and experiences

You will also develop personal bonds with clients to have them coming back time and time again

CREATE YOUR NICHE:

There are tons of people who have been to Paris or Tokyo but how many can say they've been to a rare private island in the South Pacific?

Find where you can make the biggest impact and attract the best clientele

Become a guru for your specific field and you’ll be sure to be successful for anyone looking for specific trips

BE PERFECT:

Planning trips properly isn't always easy

Sometimes problems come up and you need to readjust

Becoming a successful travel advisor is about knowing all the details

One must know all the little things and be able to change their plans on a dime

Having all the information will show to your clients and they'll have a smooth vacation
