The Booking Is Just the Beginning

Think hitting "confirm" on a trip is the finish line? Ask any Travel Advisor, and they'll tell you that's actually where the real work starts.

This is Minisode 2 of 3, pulled from Episode 2.8 of the Goofy Getaways Podcast, "So You Want to Be a Travel Advisor." Amy Blades continues the conversation with Amanda Worsley, Noddea Skidmore, and Aaron Guest — this time on everything that happens after a client books.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why "the booking is just the beginning," and what advisors are still doing behind the scenes for months (or years) after
• The kind of work clients never see: destination and supplier training, staying current on ever-changing policies, and learning entirely new booking systems
• Why a good advisor should have real travel experience of their own, and how advisors lean on each other's firsthand trips to fill in the gaps
• Why the most trustworthy advice includes the honest parts of a destination, not just the highlight reel
