If you sell MedjetAssist or even if you haven’t yet, you won’t want to miss this session. You could be the lucky winner of the Travel Medical Kit or the Medjet All-In-One Travel Bag! Two winners will be picked.
MedjetAssist – Travel With Confidence.
Domestic air medical evacuation averages $10,000 to $20,000, and internationally, it can exceed $75,000, but not with the medical evacuation protection of MedjetAssist.

Most importantly, unlike other evacuation services, MedjetAssist lets the member decide which hospital will be their final destination.
MedjetAssist will be conducting a product overview via the web exclusively for Vacation.com member agents. We’ll highlight the following:
How you can earn commission year after year on a one-time sale.
How MedjetAssist is different than travel insurance programs and platinum cards.

Stay Ahead of Clients
By: Richard Earls "TravelReacearch On Line"
Travel is a "repeat buy." Many clients will travel on a schedule approaching every one or two years and some much more frequently. It is important to stay ahead of such clients by anticipating their needs. You should not wait for the client to come to you with a trip to research.
It is far too easy for the client to be sidetracked by an online site, a direct to consumer promotion in a magazine, or even by another agent. If you have properly trained the client, they should come to you in any event, but by staying ahead of the situation, you ensure that you are building repeat business from the outset.
The key is to work with the client on an advance basis: ask what their travel plans are over the next one to two years. In reality there is no reason you should not work on a ten year plan, but by honing in on the near future, you remain involved in those travel plans that are closest to the client's active planning. Begin to drill down on details: where does the client want to go and when? Are there acceptable alternatives? What does the budget look like? Special activities during the trip? While the client may not have thought about each of these issues very far in advance, you can use the information gathered to begin to provide the client with regular updates that fit their travel ambitions. By so doing, you remain involved in the planning process.
Do not think for a moment that this is overly aggressive. Does your accountant wait until you are 60 to talk to you about retirement? Does your the doctor wait until you have a heart attack to tell you about good eating habits and exercise? Does your real estate agent ever discuss your "next home"? All professionals are involved in the future of their clients. You should be as well.
If you want to grow professionally while comparing notes with your peers, you owe it to yourself to take a quick look at TRO's new Community Forums. Our new forum leader is John Frenaye - national columnist and travel agency advocate. You may have seen John's MSNBC articles on behalf of the agency community. Travel Research Online is a free service to all professional travel agents offering more than 450 destination guides, epostcards and other marketing and research tools.

Family Travel

PLANNING & PACKING
Give them a bag of their own Most kids find the idea of packing fascinating—so let them in on the action: By the age of 3 or 4, they're ready to carry their own backpack. The bag isn't really going to lessen the load; the idea is to teach kids about responsibility and to get them excited for the trip. The bag can hold a few toys, crayons, and snacks. Forget the Harry Potter book: You don't want to make the pack too heavy (for your kid, but also for yourself, as you'll most likely be called to duty). And to keep track of things, you may want to hang on to it and hand it over only after passing through airport security.
Give them a bag of their own
Trip research can be a family activity Google destinations with your children. Encourage interests—such as Native American history, Lewis and Clark, cowboys, the American Revolution, trains, or dinosaurs—that correspond to your trip. Kids enjoy thumbing through guidebooks with lots of pictures, like the DK Eyewitness series. Have them flag the pages that feature places they want to see.
Each person gets to plan an afternoon Make it mandatory that everyone participate in the chosen activity, no matter if it's arcade games, afternoon tea, miniature golf, pottery painting, or a cannonball contest at the pool.
Why check when you can ship?
Box up clothes and shoes you won't need en route and mail them to your destination beforehand. Notify your hotel in advance to ensure the staff will look out for your package and be able to store it until your arrival. What you spend in shipping charges you'll make up in ease of travel.
Think like a local, not a tourist Everyone knows to search out fun activities and good restaurants while on vacation, but you should also think of more-practical locations: Find the nearest park, supermarket, movie theater, emergency room (hospitals with pediatric ERs are ideal), pediatrician who will accept your insurance, and 24-hour pharmacy.
Pack for four days—No more, no less Do laundry rather than toting along clothes for the entire trip. Even if you're going away for a shorter period, packing for four days gives you backup options when the inevitable accident occurs. When you fly, bring two days' worth of diapers and an extra set of clothes for everyone in carry-on bags in case your checked luggage is delayed (or someone spits up).
Load up on antibacterial wipes Buy them in travel packs, in bulk, or individually wrapped, and then stick them in your glove box, carry-on, purse, and day pack, and amid the stash of toys. You'll also want to spread around packets of tissues, in case of a runny nose.
Don't haul all those bulky items Instead, buy or rent booster seats, beach toys, etc., once you've arrived. Rental service babysaway.com has over 70 locations around the country. If you'd rather not rent, consider buying (or borrowing) used merchandise. Many kids' consignment stores will rent out items so long as you bring them back in good condition.
Ziplocs all around Use varying sizes of resealable plastic bags for snacks, toys, first-aid supplies, wipes, kids' clothes—one for each day's outfit—wet swimsuits, travel documents, trash, and just about everything else.
Bring just one small stroller Unless you're traveling with an infant who is too young to sit up, try to make do with only an umbrella stroller that can fold up quickly and compactly. And bring a cloth awning to drape over the stroller on sunny days. Even if you're going to the beach for a week and don't think you'll need a stroller, you might appreciate having one—if only when maneuvering through airports.

Develop a Group Leader Program
By: Richard Earls "TravelReacearch On Line"
Experienced travel agents seek out good group leaders. In its most common incarnation, a "pied piper" or group leader is provided with a free or "comp" travel opportunity as both incentive and as compensation for organizing and recruiting others to travel as a group. In some instances, however, the group leader acts as a focal point or celebrity for the group and assumes a central role in the marketing of the travel to others.
The travel consultant that consistently and patiently grooms a series of group leaders is establishing the groundwork for regular group travel opportunities. By marshalling the energies of one or more group leaders, the travel consultant both leverages the group leader for a particular trip and also comes into contact with a number of new individual clients.
Group leaders typically fall into one of two categories:
1. affiliated
The affiliated group leader belongs to an organization or a group of people that share a common interest. As a member of an existing organization, the affiliated group leader's position provides them with access to and influence with the group.
2.The "spec" group leader is one whose personality, influence or drive to travel makes them a natural recruiter or focus for a group. A local radio personality or yoga instructor might be a good "spec" leader as might an individual who simply delights in organizing groups of people out of their own desire to travel.
Make sure from the outset that the group leader has a clear understanding of his or her responsibilities. If the group leader is to play an active role in administrative and organizing functions, those responsibilities should be very clear.
In all instances, it is important that the group leader feels that they are earning their travel in exchange for their duties. In this way, the travel consultant is actually able to leverage the time of the group leader. The role of the consultant does not change, but the group leader, as a focal point of the trip, should play a key role in either the marketing or the administrative and organizational duties.
Good group leaders will provide a focus for the group and insight into how to coalesce the trip's theme. As an authority figure, the group leader should understand the dynamics of the group and assist the travel consultant in pulling the group and travel theme into focus. Ask any experienced agent - a good group leader is worth their weight. Make a group leader program a part of your own marketing plan.
If you want to grow professionally while comparing notes with your peers, you owe it to yourself to take a quick look at TRO's new Community Forums. Our new forum leader is John Frenaye - national columnist and travel agency advocate. You may have seen John's MSNBC articles on behalf of the agency community.

10 Amazing Affordable Safaris
By Travel and Leasure, Douglas Rogers
Safaris and safari lodges have gone way upscale, with prices to match. Here are 10 strategies to cut the cost and still get the lion’s share of game-viewing.
$800 to $1,000 per person per night: that’s currently the average price of an African safari. The continent might be underdeveloped, but its leading camps and safari lodges are among the most glamorous and expensive resorts in the world. In fact, many of these places make the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Hotels list.
Factor in the cost of flights from the U.S. and the current weak state of the dollar, and the bill for an African trip starts adding up faster than a night on the tables in Las Vegas.
But it’s possible to do a safari—sometimes even at the top properties—without having to remortgage your home. Finding deals and bargains just requires research, innovation, expert advice, and—in some cases—the ability to step out of your comfort zone and hit the road on your own.
See our list of the best affordable safaris.
"One of the most efficient ways to cut costs is to travel off-season," says Marcia Gordon, director of travel at African safari specialist F. M. Allen. "Lodge rates drop by up to 40 percent in both East and southern Africa, and with such an unpredictable climate these days, it’s quite possible the weather will be better off-season than in the regular season."
Of course, you can’t always bank on the weather (and many camps in East Africa close during the April-May rains anyway). But visiting Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve in late May—during the green season and before the July-September Great Migration—pays dividends. At that time, a tent at the fabulous 1920’s Cottars Camp costs $490 per person per night instead of $710 in high season, and you still get the same sublime vintage comforts.
However, South Africa remains the best off-season destination. Its camps are open year-round, so take advantage of the quieter May-July winter months when the weather is cooler, animal sightings are better, and prices are lower. At Samara Private Game Reserve, a luxurious private lodge in the Eastern Cape, for example, a suite facing the plains costs a mere $165 per person per night in off-season—a savings of $210.
Another option: staying in small, owner-operated lodges. "Owner-run camps don’t have the high overheads of the big chains and can be more flexible," explains Chris McIntyre, co-owner of British-based travel company Expert Africa and author of four current travel guides to Africa.
Every country has owner-run camps, but McIntyre recommends the lodges of Remote Africa Safaris in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, owned by former guide John Coppinger, who has operated in the region for 20 years. "John knows the valley better than anyone; you get a really authentic bush experience, and it’s like staying in a private home."
Choosing lesser-known game reserves such as the Luangwa is another way to save. "Don’t always go for the obvious," says McIntyre. "Everyone knows about Kruger, the Mara, and Botswana’s Okavango. But often the best deals are in the unheralded parks."
Samburu Game Reserve in northern Kenya is hardly unknown, but at Elephant Bedroom, a rustic-chic 12-tent camp set under lush palms, you pay only $200 a night for a tent suite. That’s a rate you might find only at a government lodge in the more famous Masai Mara.
And anyone with a sense of adventure and an eye for the road should do what any self-respecting southern African family does on safari: drive yourself. Self-drives save on air transfers and are easy in Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, where roads are good, parks fees low, and facilities at government lodges and campsites excellent.
Africa enthusiast Chris Showalter, 32, a trader at Goldman Sachs in New York, swears by self-drives. "I never do it any other way. I just rent a 4 x 4 with three friends, stock up on food supplies, and then drive in. You can pay less than $800 a week."
See our list of the best affordable safaris.
Safaris and safari lodges have gone way upscale, with prices to match. Here are 10 strategies to cut the cost and still get the lion’s share of game-viewing.
$800 to $1,000 per person per night: that’s currently the average price of an African safari. The continent might be underdeveloped, but its leading camps and safari lodges are among the most glamorous and expensive resorts in the world. In fact, many of these places make the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Hotels list.
Factor in the cost of flights from the U.S. and the current weak state of the dollar, and the bill for an African trip starts adding up faster than a night on the tables in Las Vegas.
But it’s possible to do a safari—sometimes even at the top properties—without having to remortgage your home. Finding deals and bargains just requires research, innovation, expert advice, and—in some cases—the ability to step out of your comfort zone and hit the road on your own.
See our list of the best affordable safaris.
"One of the most efficient ways to cut costs is to travel off-season," says Marcia Gordon, director of travel at African safari specialist F. M. Allen. "Lodge rates drop by up to 40 percent in both East and southern Africa, and with such an unpredictable climate these days, it’s quite possible the weather will be better off-season than in the regular season."
Of course, you can’t always bank on the weather (and many camps in East Africa close during the April-May rains anyway). But visiting Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Reserve in late May—during the green season and before the July-September Great Migration—pays dividends. At that time, a tent at the fabulous 1920’s Cottars Camp costs $490 per person per night instead of $710 in high season, and you still get the same sublime vintage comforts.
However, South Africa remains the best off-season destination. Its camps are open year-round, so take advantage of the quieter May-July winter months when the weather is cooler, animal sightings are better, and prices are lower. At Samara Private Game Reserve, a luxurious private lodge in the Eastern Cape, for example, a suite facing the plains costs a mere $165 per person per night in off-season—a savings of $210.
Another option: staying in small, owner-operated lodges. "Owner-run camps don’t have the high overheads of the big chains and can be more flexible," explains Chris McIntyre, co-owner of British-based travel company Expert Africa and author of four current travel guides to Africa.
Every country has owner-run camps, but McIntyre recommends the lodges of Remote Africa Safaris in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley, owned by former guide John Coppinger, who has operated in the region for 20 years. "John knows the valley better than anyone; you get a really authentic bush experience, and it’s like staying in a private home."
Choosing lesser-known game reserves such as the Luangwa is another way to save. "Don’t always go for the obvious," says McIntyre. "Everyone knows about Kruger, the Mara, and Botswana’s Okavango. But often the best deals are in the unheralded parks."

What are Your Strengths
In my experience, people who build their business around their own personal interests or experience almost always tend to achieve success FASTER than people who don't.It makes sense when you think about it...People who follow their passions are the ones who are most motivated to do the work necessary to grow and improve their businesses.
The following questions are designed to get you thinking about what really matters to YOU. Be sure to print this list and write your answers down -- you're going to want to refer to them later.

Eat for free at Disney World
Walt Disney World has offered free dining plans in September to entice visitors during a notoriously slow month. Disney announced yesterday that the Disney Dining Plan will once again be offered free with select vacation packages.
If you stay at one of Disney's "value" or "moderate" category resorts—or at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa—between Aug. 24 and Sept. 20, 2008, and you book a 5-night "Magic Your Way" package (at a starting price of about $1,300 for a family of four), then they'll throw in the dining plan for free. The plan ordinarily costs $38 per day per adult.
The plan entitles each guest to one table-service meal, one counter-service meal, and one snack, per each night of their stay. The plan covers meals at most restaurants and snack stands at Disney's Orlando resorts. Unlike last year, it doesn't include gratuities, but you can still get your money's worth.
For more info, visit disneyworld.com or contact Walt Disney Travel Co. at 407/934-7639 and ask for booking code AYG.

How Accessible are You?
By: Richard Earls "TravelReacearch On Line"
Your clients have your office number, your email address and your cell phone number. They know your office hours and how to get in touch with you after the doors have closed.
But how accessible are you? Is there any possibility that your clients feel they are actually bothering you when they want to research a bit of travel?
Web site designers go to great lengths to make travel web sites "accessible": easy to understand, use and navigate. But what about your own interface with clients? Is your travel practice easy to understand, use and navigate? Are you emotionally and psychologically available to existing and potential clients?
Conversations with consumers often reveal a reluctance to approach travel agents. Inexperienced travelers actually feel hesitant to use a travel agent and often prefer to go direct or to the internet so as to not "waste the travel agent's time."
Such travelers feel that they incur an obligation when using a travel agent, a debt of time invested by the agent, and therefore avoid going to an agent at all. Younger consumers will often say it is "easier" just to do it themselves.
Logically, the smaller the travel purchase, the more commodity-like the travel, the more likely the consumer is to attempt to "do it on their own." As younger consumers enter the travel market, the inclination to go online for their travel needs is likely to be much greater than in the past.
The media, and sometimes agents themselves, contribute to the image of the busy, overworked and harried travel agent. Portrayals of agents as frantically busy or under pressure do not contribute to accessibility. These pre-conceived notions are barriers to use. Good marketing strategy will involve tactics designed to improve your accessibility to the public.
Strive to improve the general warmth of your practice. Look at all of your elements of first impression and make sure that the appearance of your office, your clothing and, most importantly, your demeanor, are inviting and relaxed.
Go positive in all of your marketing messages. Don't criticize other travel distribution channels, which invites an argument over competing features and benefits. Instead, accentuate your own positive attributes, the benefits of human interaction, of local accountability, of client advocacy.
Educate the public. Many consumers simply do not understand travel agents. Incorporate an explanation of your services into your marketing literature. Write articles and newsletters and find opportunities to speak to groups about what you do.
Empower your clients - educate and train your clients. Explain the research process and the resources you have at hand. Familiarize them with your continuing education and your industry associations.
Most of all, empower them to contact you with any travel issue, large or small. Yes, even that lone hotel booking on which you know you will never receive a commission. Because every client contact brings you closer to the client, closer to the next cruise or major travel excursion.

Get The Word Out
By: Richard Earls "TravelReacearch On Line"
In many cases you can more effectively generate clients through publicity than through advertising. Consumers understand brands propelled by publicity. Like all word of mouth advertising, publicity carries an inherent third-party endorsement of your services as a travel consultant. Thus, it is a highly effective form of marketing.
The best way to achieve a bit of publicity is to say something publicly that’s either contrarian or creative - statements that sound "new”, spark conversations, and lead to new ways of thinking and problem-solving.
When you deliver the "new" idea, either through an article, interview, or as a speaker, you demonstrate your expertise and you give local media an interesting bit of "buzz" about which to write. Suddenly - you're an expert!
For example, if you want to sell European vacations in the face of the rising Euro, an effective contrarian statement would at first sound as if it’s going against the grain: "With the Euro so high, now is the time to book your trip to Europe." The public hears news that Europe is too expensive, but you suggest that by booking now, travelers can avoid future cost increases, or can see Europe without the crowds.
Alternatively, a creative statement tells the public how to avoid or solve a problem: "With the Euro so high, now is the time to take a European Cruise." You might also say: "While the Euro is high, Central Europe still offers amazing values" . You generate publicity in this instance by creatively solving a problem.
Once you formulate your thought-provoking and persuasive points about travel, where do you say these things? Publicity counts on consumers learning from you in a context that essentially endorses you as an expert. Here are some of the easiest and best ways you can do this:
Write an article with a stimulating headline and send it to a local paper or magazine for publication. If you can get to know your local editors at the weekly, daily and specialty publications, you can develop a solid, ongoing resource for your publicity efforts. Also consider online message boards associated with the community.
Don't forget the e-newsletters of small retailers in your area. Yoga studios, clothing shops, outfitters, and other retailers with which you might cross-market need content for their newsletters. Help them out by providing a ready-made article!
Solicit speaking opportunities with churches, universities, clubs, and civic or social organizations. Many groups have people whose job it is to find speakers, and you can kindly offer to talk at a future meeting. Use each engagement to build up to another, and you can even consider developing a seminar or lecture series.
Small radio stations are always looking for interesting guests for talk shows. Again, offer to solve their problem by offering your services as an expert guest.
Your presence at any of these venues suggests your expertise, and your contrarian and creative topics will surely get the attention of many new clients.

It's Time to Think about Travel Insurance
By David Armstrong, Aviation.com Columnist
With Aloha, ATA, Skybus and Skyway Airlines all going out of business last week in one incredible five-day free-fall, it’s time for travelers to think about something they may not have considered before: travel insurance.
Buying travel insurance can’t stop an airline from liquidating — or cancelling your flight or losing your bags, for that matter — but it can increase the compensation you are paid if any of those things happen, and it can give you some peace of mind in turbulent times like these.
Whether you need travel insurance or can give it a pass depends on where you’re going, how long you’ll be traveling, and how much you’re paying to travel. It also depends on how much, or how little, trip coverage you may already be getting through your credit card company.
Say, for example, you are laying out $79 to fly Virgin America from San Francisco to Las Vegas and you’re not checking any bags; you plan to return home two days later, after trying your luck in the casinos.
You may need a lot of luck playing Vegas, but you don’t need travel insurance. You aren’t spending much money for your air, you aren’t going far, you’re traveling entirely within a highly developed country — in this case, the United States — and since you’re carrying it all on, you don’t have many bags that could be lost, damaged or stolen.
Conversely, it may be worth your while to buy travel insurance that covers cancelled flights, or lost, damaged or stolen bags, and helps find you a hotel room and another flight if — like a number of holiday-makers stranded in Hawaii when ATA stopped flying — your airline unexpectedly goes belly-up.
Travel insurance also becomes more desirable if you have a complex itinerary: Say, you’re traveling through unevenly developed Southeast Asia, you’re planning to be away from home for three weeks, you’re paying big bucks, and you’re taking lots of gear — which you will have to check.
Now, you may need the back-up travel insurance can give you. Some industry experts advise insuring your luggage, for example, by buying excess valuation insurance at the airport from the agent at the airline counter before you depart; this provides as much as $5,000 in additional coverage.
Many vendors sell travel insurance policies, including airlines. It’s better to buy a policy from a company other than an airline or tour operator. That way, if the company fails to deliver on promises — or fails entirely — you won’t be dependent on them.
Prices, types of travel insurance and what is and is not covered vary widely. As always, it pays to read the fine print. Travel insurance policies generally cost 4 to 7 percent of the price of a pre-paid trip; seniors may have to pay a bit more.

Becoming More Successful
Are you learning? Are you growing? Are you becoming more successful each day? If you're not learning and growing, you're dying, so step up and read today's article and take a new action today that makes your life better than it was!
This got me thinking about my own internet business and why I've been able to succeed on such a high level while most others have failed. The answer is not really surprising.
Most people who try to build a successful internet home business are looking for the quick fix and instant gratification. They want it to work IMMEDIATELY and so when the money doesn't come in right away they quit, give up and blame the business for not working.
I own 4 store front business and 10 internet business. I am not a genus in fact I barley made it through high school. My parents were not rich they were hard working people, mom was a waitress and dad worked in a factory. Both of them put in long hard work hours just to put food on the table and a roof over our heads.
They thought me one important lesson, the owners of the business that my parents worked for become very rich, the employees didn't. From that point on I knew I wanted to be my own boss.
Being successful in any business takes time and effort. You don't have to be a rocket science genus to run a successful business. But there are two important things you must do.
One, take the time to learn every thing you can about your business. We provide a ton of free training. Yet only 10% of the agents use it. It's not surprising that those same agents are our most successful agents and the other agents that don't take the time to learn about their business are not successful.
The second most important thing to do is "Take Action" Every day I give my business card to three people, or I call three people and ask them where they want to go on your next vacation and also do they know of any one planning a honeymoon or trip. I don't make a sale every day, but I take action every day and that brings in lots and lots of sales.
Take action, learn by reading the blogs on this site. Go back and read or re-read all the old blogs. Print out and save the best ones in a loose leaf note book.

Advertising Your Travel Business on a Budget
WORD OF MOUTH
This of course is the cheapest kind of advertising on the planet --- it does not cost you anything. Ask your customers if they know anyone who could also use your products or services. When they are happy with your offerings and service, they will be willing to tell you whom you can contact, and they will pass the word for you.

You can usually pick up 500 business cards for about $20. When you do, hand them out. Do not give more than a couple of cards to each person. If they need more cards from you, they will ask.
Some people are known to network with others on a regular basis. Some of these people are also known to be always looking for an extra few bucks.
With these people, you can suggest to them that if they write their name on the back of one of your business cards and the card is presented to you, then you will pay a referral fee to them.
You do not have to offer much --- sometimes five dollars is enough. Look at your home business and your offerings and decide how much would be a good referral fee.
PRESS RELEASES
Press Releases are a good source for generating news about your home business. The business editor at your local newspaper is always on the lookout for a good business story to fill the business news section of the newspaper.
Of course, the business editor understands the economics of running a paper and is more inclined to run your story if you buy advertising in his/her publication, but will still print stories for special events and openings.
The important thing to remember about Press Releases is that it must be constructed in the form of a news story. Even if you are a sole proprietorship, quotes from you should be written in a third person format: John Doe said, "Your quote here."
A Press Release should pack the most important information at the beginning of the copy, and leave extra details towards the end.
You should always provide the reporter who gets the task a simple and easy way for him/her to contact you directly. Often the reporter will want to contact you to get details that will enhance their take on your story.
This of course is the cheapest kind of advertising on the planet --- it does not cost you anything. Ask your customers if they know anyone who could also use your products or services. When they are happy with your offerings and service, they will be willing to tell you whom you can contact, and they will pass the word for you.

Word of Mouth Marketing.
By: TRO... Travel Research Online is a free service to all professional travel agents offering more than 450 destination guides, epostcards and other marketing and research tools.
Word of Mouth marketing is powerful, because it comes from third parties and carries an inherent credibility. While word of mouth marketing happens with or without you, there are things that you can do to amplify the process to ensure that it happens in such a way as to be heard by a maximum number of people in a compressed and manageable time frame.
For the next few Tips columns, we are going to discuss how to effectively and ethically promote word of mouth.
To get a grip on word of mouth marketing, you must first understand why people say nice things about you:
Reason #1:
They like your servicePositive word of mouth depends on people liking what you do and wanting to support your efforts. Practice insanely great customer service skills like the ones we discuss here every day. At the root of good customer service is your love of what you do. If you are inspired, you clients will be too.
Reason #2:
They are a part of your story.They don't think of you as a travel agent; they think of you as their travel agent. You have managed to incorporate them into your sphere of influence. They don't just like your services, they now associate you with the very idea of travel. When they think of "travel" they think of you.
Reason #3:
People like to talkPeople love to give advice, to talk about the things they like. When a person finds a great product or service, recommending it to others, being the first "in the know" makes them feel special.
Understanding why people talk about a product or a service naturally gives you an opportunity to craft the way they deliver the message. Better yet, you can do it quite openly.
The process begins simply, just ASK your clients to do it! Ask them for referrals and testimonials. Ask them to tell their friends about you. Ask your clients to spread the word. Ask them to hand out your business cards.
Word of Mouth - it happens with or without you, so ask for a little help from your friends.

Stay Focused on Your Home Business
By Stone Evens
As an owner of a home based business, you must always remember your purpose for working at home.What was your reason for wanting to own a home business?
Was your goal to work from home to share in the lives of your children?
Was your goal to be out from under the rule of a tyrannical boss?
Was your goal to have the freedom to work when it is convenient for you? Was your goal to make extra money working for yourself?
Here's a few good tips that will help you stay focused on your home business:
TIP #1:
Whatever your reason for going out on your own, you must keep your reason in the forefront of your mind. If you forget your reason for starting your own home business, you will not be working for yourself for long. It is far too easy to let circumstance drive your activities --- and when circumstance is in the driver`s seat, you are more likely to crash and burn.
TIP #2:
Remember, your own business is a lot like a real job. Some people go to work to play, some go to socialize, and others --- most often those who are paid in a commission or tip environment --- go to work to work to make money.
When you work for yourself, your salary is directly proportional to your productivity. Therefore, wouldn`t it make sense to stay focused on getting as much done in as short of a period as possible? Go to work to work and to make money. Leave playtime and recreation for when your workday has ended.
TIP #3:
When you are dealing with family in the course of your workday, it is important to schedule your activities as much as possible. With small children, you must take time when you must, but you should also work hard to make sure you dedicate a specific number of hours to your workday.
With older children, it is much easier to tell them that you will be working between the hours of x and y. Your children and your friends must understand that certain hours of your day are devoted to the activities of your business.
TIP #4:
Don't permit your friends and extended family to run over you. Many people get the blind idea that if one works from home then they are not actually working.
Well-meaning people may try to fill your doorway to bring advice about getting a real job. Others may simply believe that if you are at home, then you are fair game for chitchat and socialization.
You must stand firm. You must make certain your friends and family understands that when you are working, then you ARE working! If they wish to socialize with you, then they need to do it during the hours that are not dedicated to your home business.
You are the only one who can stand up for you. Your friends and family will seldom be able to appreciate your dedication to your home business, unless you make the effort to make sure that they have the same respect for your business that you do.
TIP #5:
You should allot a certain portion of your day to email and to regular mail. For example, allot one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon to handling your written communications.
Unless you dedicate certain times to the handling of these communications, you will soon find yourself on the downward slope of decreased productivity.
TIP #6:
When you find yourself spending too much time doing non-productive activities, then you should seriously consider finding a third-party service provider who will assist you in those non-profitable business activities.
As an example, you might be in the travel business. You might believe that your time is best spent writing ad copy and setting up your advertising, but you find yourself spending far too much time taking care of your books to take care of your advertising in the manner that you should. In this event, it might make more sense to hire a bookkeeper to handle your financial records for you.
CONCLUSION:
In the end, the success of your home business is entirely and completely reliant upon you and the decisions that you make.You had your reasons for deciding to start your own home based business. You must always keep your reasons in the forefront of your mind. You must always be able to rely upon your own self and your dedication to the success of your business.
Your friends and family might be annoyed that they cannot come visit upon their own whim, but when success comes to you and your business, they will better appreciate you for putting your foot down when necessary.
Success is within your reach, if only you can stay focused on your goals. You must decide to reach for your goals, and then, you must have the discipline necessary to reach them.

Testimonials
Testimonials have the effect of providing assurances to new clients. No doubt, your marketing collateral speaks to your competence.
Testimonials, however, provide a third-party endorsement of your travel planning ability. They act as a public record that you have performed well in the past; so well, in fact, that someone felt compelled to give you a testimonial. Such assurances calm the concerns and fears of new clients when they turn over thousands of their hard earned dollars to you for their vacations.
Without delay, ask some of your best clients to write you a short, one paragraph recommendation of your services. One of the best times to ask is within a few days of a client's return from a successful trip.
Ask permission to place their comments in your marketing materials. Include the testimonials on your website, in your brochures and on your other printed materials. Below is a short note you might write to request a testimonial.
Betty:
Would you do a favor for me? I value your business greatly and want more clients exactly like you. Would you provide me with a short two or three sentence recommendation?
If you could give me a small testimonial that I can use in my marketing materials, I would be very appreciative. Just a mention of how satisfied you are with my services and the travel planning I have done for you would mean so much.
Many thanks,
Angie Agent
Once you have obtained your first testimonial, show it to other clients when requesting theirs so they have an idea of how to write one for you. If clients are going to say nice things about you, there is nothing wrong with making sure that they are heard!

10 ways to get better air seats.
1. Join a frequent flier programThis is the most reliable tactic you can use. Providing your frequent flier number at the time of reservation goes a long way toward netting you a good seat, especially if you are a loyal, high-ranking member. If you don't already have your seat assignment when you arrive at the airport, present your number at check-in.
2. Buy your tickets earlyThe number of seats available for pre-assignment dwindles as the travel date approaches. If you can't buy your tickets at least several weeks in advance, be sure to check in online as soon as possible before your flight to select a seat, or arrive at the airport early if online check-in isn't available.
3. Consider purchasing a better seatSeveral airlines now offer economy-class seats with extra legroom for an additional fee. JetBlue has just introduced "Even More Legroom" seats on all its flights, allowing passengers to pay $10 — $20 each way for an exit row seat with 38 inches of seat pitch (instead of 34 — 36 inches on its regular seats). United offers Economy Plus Access to high-ranking frequent fliers and to any travelers who pay the annual fee of $349; this entitles travelers to five more inches of seat pitch in the coach cabin. (If any Economy Plus seats are still available at flight time, they can be purchased for $25 to $30 one way.)
4. Select your seat when you bookMost airline Web sites and major booking engines allow you to choose a seat when you purchase your ticket, or to return to your reservation after your initial purchase and make your seat selection later. In most cases this process is free, but AirTran charges $6 per person, per one-way trip to select your seat in advance if you're traveling on a sale or discount coach fare.
5. Confirm your seat at check-inMost airlines allow passengers to check in online 24 hours before their flight departs. At that point you can confirm the seat you've already chosen or even choose a better one.
6. Get to the airport earlyIf you arrive too late at your gate, you may lose your seat.
7. When in doubt, askOnce you reach your gate, ask whether any new seats have opened up. If other passengers upgrade to business class or don't show up for the flight, you may get lucky and grab a better assignment.
8. Be specificIf you know exactly what seat you're interested in, it can be easier for agents to get it for you. Instead of asking for an exit row or "a good seat," try asking for "12A" — you'll be more likely to get what you want (or an acceptable substitute).
9. Keep the agent informedIf you have a medical condition, let the agent know. Most will do their best to accommodate you.
10. Kindness countsApproach agents in a spirit of understanding. They hear complaints and demands all day. Treat them like human beings, and they may surprise you.
