There's Big Money in Selling Travel to Groups ...

Discover the 2 Mistakes That Prevent Most Travel Agents from Selling More "Group Travel"

Want to make good money selling travel?

Then listen carefully to this:

FOCUS ON SELLING GROUP TRAVEL

It's that simple!

Why should you be working your butt off to make, let's say, $150.00 x 2 people.

.... when, with just a little bit more time and effort you could be raking in "$150.00 x 40 or x 300 people"

It's common sense:

--- 2 x $150.00 = $ 300.00

--- 40 x $150.00 = $ 6000.00

Repeat that each month, and you've created as $72,000.00/year gross income for yourself.

But hey, do NOT settle for such a low income...

Instead, kick it up a notch and focus on planning and selling very NICHE, highly customized group travel experiences and you will give yourself
a substantial raise!

How do I know?

Listen, I have personally written cheques to some of my Independent Travel Consultants for $10,000.00, even for $15,000.00 for ONE group sale.

... $15,000.00 for 1 'small group' sale!!

Those figures represent the consultants' share of the pie !! Plus they got to go on the trips for Free!

WARNING: Those BIG cheques only happen when my consultants truly focus on NICHE groups.

It is CRUCIAL that you remember that.

Bad news? (if any)

You must know, however, that in order to put together a truly customized travel experience for a NICHE group, IT COULD TAKE YOU A
COUPLE OF MONTHS or longer ...

But, hey...

If every couple of months you're getting, let's say $15,000.00 ....That would be a $90,000.00/year income.

So, the 'bad news' ain't so bad, huh?

BUT WAIT .... it can get better..

Let's say that on year 2 or year 3 of being in business you'll have excellent SYSTEMS in place, and that now you're able to put together those groups in a much more efficient way.

Well, if you can start earning $15,000 x 2 every two months........you'd have raised your own yearly income to $180,000.00

The sad truth is that even though most people who start a travel business KNOW (or a least have been told) that "there's BIG money in selling "Group Travel""....

They still make 2 FATAL mistakes !! ...... and they NEVER end up making $180,000.00)

What Are Those 2 Fatal Mistakes?

First, they NEVER get started.

Here's the thing:

You CANNOT plan, organize promote and sell a "niche group travel experience" in a week.
: In fact, the average group needs 'planning and organizing' to start about SIX MONTHS before the actual travel dates.

Discouraged by the fact that it will be "a few months" before they can enjoy the fruit of their labour, most people just NEVER get started.

As a result, 6 or 7 months later, I have people come to me telling me:

"IF I had started to plan a group 6 months ago, I could be making $10,000 THIS month."

Although I usually just nod in agreement - in most cases I'm really thinking: WHAT AN IDIOT!

Please, don't let that happen to YOU!

Second, they don't know that the KEY to building your "group travel empire" is:

.... to sell highly customized travel experiences to PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY GROUPED!

Many travel agents get a "price quote" from a tour company, then put together a flyer and start calling everyone they know to join their "group".

That works some times, but it's TOO MUCH work!

Here's how to do it right:

Find people (niche markets) that are already grouped. (People are usually grouped in clubs, associations, etc. around a common interest)
Learn a little bit about your prospects' "interest".
Find out what THEY already want (which is probably different from what you may think they want ).
Find and/or create a travel experience that mixes their "common interest" AND travel ..... and voila!

There are, of course, a few more details - But I reserve those for my students and my company's travel consultants.
