Have you ever wanted to travel the world and make money doing it? Among the list of new freelance careers is the term destination coordinator, or as we once knew, a travel agent. This glamorous new career has all the benefits of working from home while giving you the ability to travel the world. However, as with any career, it is important to do your research and prepare for success.
Use Reliable Tools
Regardless of the type of business you have, it is crucial to use reliable resources. In fact, your professional and often personal reputation relies on it. There are hundreds of online databases such as Better Homes and Gardens MCR Bahamas, that can be used to book travel for your clients. The key is to research, ask questions, and even get recommendations from friends and family on the best ones to use.
Once you have a selected a source, track your interactions with them. Are they responsive to your inquiries in a timely manner? Are their rates competitive? What is the overall customer feedback? These are just a few of the questions you should ask before signing the dotted line. Furthermore, do not be surprised if your clients ask very similar questions of you.
Seek Out Exotic Destinations
One way to enhance your destination coordinator business is to set yourself apart from the rest. Perhaps you only book destinations in the Orient or Europe. Develop a niche and become an expert with that particular part of the world like SbTravel.com. That is not to say you cannot book destinations in other parts of the world. But the more you know about one area the more opportunities will come your way.
Be sure to promote yourself as an expert for whatever location you choose. You should even visit as often as you can to stay abreast of new restaurants or areas of attractions your clients might enjoy.
Customer Service
The saying, “the customer is always right”, has been argued over for generations. However, when it comes to travel, particularly the expenses involved, it is absolutely true. Your clients will demand the utmost in customer service from you. In fact, they deserve it. We all know the expenses associated with traveling. Many people have to save for years in order to afford a trip where your services will be needed. It is crucial to your reputation, that every customer feels appreciated and valued.
