What do you like most about Waybird? Waybird makes it so much easier to create beautiful, clear safari itineraries. What I love most is how quick it is to use, and how polished the final proposals look. Instead of sending long emails or clunky PDFs, I can send guests a simple link with everything laid out clearly - everything from maps, images, daily plans, even travel times between camps. Guests often comment on how helpful and easy it is to understand. It really helps us stand out and keeps the process feeling personal and professional. What are some areas of Waybird's product that could be improved? One thing I'd love to see improved is the ability to upload our own photos to existing camp profiles. Often, we have our own high-quality images taken during visits to lodges—photos that really capture the atmosphere or show unique angles that the standard stock images don’t. It would be great to easily add these to a property’s profile so our itineraries feel more personal and true to the experiences we’ve curated ourselves. This would help us tell the story of each trip in a more authentic way. What problems does Waybird solve for you? Waybird saves us a huge amount of time. Before, we were building itineraries manually in Word or Canva - it took ages, and changes were a hassle. Now we can put together a full proposal in under an hour, and it looks much more professional. It also helps our guests visualise their trip better, which makes it easier for them to get excited and make decisions.

My husband and I started with Cruise Planners in May of 2019. We were very new to the industry. We had started with another home-based company approximately 8 months prior, but we received minimal support. In those 8 months, we only had a handful of bookings, and most of them were our own reservations. While attending the CLIA conference in April of 2019, we saw alot of people wearing the "CP green" shirts. So, we started asking some of them about Cruise Planners. Every single person we spoke with said they absolutely LOVED Cruise Planners, and they were very happy with their decision to join the CP family. After more research, we decided to make the switch, and we are extremely happy that we did! The support that we've received from the Cruise Planners home office has been fantastic. The CP technology is state-of-the-art. The coaches are very responsive, and they are in place to help us build our businesses. In addition, having access to the Facebook page that is set up for CP advisors has allowed me to obtain a significant amount of super helpful information from my CP colleagues. The CP home office staff truly cares, and they are very supportive, and we really feel that they want us to succeed. In addition to the cutting edge technology and the outstanding coaching, they also provide marketing, training, and more. My husband and I set a goal for ourselves to make the company's Top 50 list within our first five years. We were able to accomplish our goal within our first year- even with the COVID situation in full swing. We have now built our business into a multi-million dollar company, and we could not be more happy with our Cruise Planners franchise.
