Hi Rita! I do want to sign up for your Plan your year workshop but I have only been in business 6 months. Your into paragraph says something to the effect of "have you been in business a few years..." is it still OK to sign up? 🤔
@Sunbeach24 Great question! If you have a good handle on what your monthly expenses are (personally and professionally), what investments you might want to make, have an idea of how you would like your year to look like next year, know what kinds of products or services that you would like to focus on, and have a decent handle on who your ideal client is, then yes, you should definitely join us. A big portion of what we cover is knowing what travel sales you want to focus on, and knowing who your client is- what their dreams and concerns are. If you feel like you have a good handle on these, then totally should join us. If you're feeling very uncertain, then I would encourage you to work on these first. I'm not saying the workshop wouldn't be helpful, but we won't be doing a deep dive on these areas, so you should have a good idea of these before we get started. Hope this helps!
I personally use a program called YNAB, or You Need a Budget. It is so helpful in my life. Been using it for years. It helps you keep you money segregated even when using limited bank accounts. It has been so helpful in keeping me organized. It does come with a yearly fee but I can't imagine life without it now! 😊 Thanks for another great talk! 👍
Courtney is an inspiration! I loved her talk with Host Agency Reviews as well. Hope to implement som well thought out SOPs in my business ( I'll admit I did need to Google that when the show started! 😂) I am all about organization and workflow though so I look forward to dialing things in!
@Sunbeach24 yay!!! Glad to hear this conversation was helpful 🙂
Such a great pep talk on sales! I am rearing to go now! Pushing out the marketing and hoping to attract!
Yay!! Sp glad this was helpful for you!!

Thanks Penny! I'm actually hosting a presentation on LinkedIn on the Travel Pro Summit today :) Definitely check it out! ritaventures--travelprosummit.thrivecart.com/all-access-passport-marketing/
I appreciate the content! Lots of great crossover gems in here to assist with getting social media set up with the website and key words and such. The audio is not ideal as it seems the mic was being bumped... caused a lot of low level bass in my headphones.
Thank you!!
