Net Rates? Facebook Groups? Marketing on Social?


This week’s Friday 15, we're welcoming Jenn from Travel Planners International and Vacation Planners. Let’s have some fun, plus some questions to discuss this Friday at 12 pm CST. Join us! 

  1. When advisors quote net rates, where does the markup actually get calculated? The picture I keep getting is a spreadsheet open next to whatever tool built the itinerary, and I'm curious whether that is most people or just the ones who talk about it.
  2. I am not sure if this is something you can answer, but I mainly focus on cruises and business has been pretty good lately.   I started a Facebook group for a sailing that I am going on and I was wondering if you had any tips for engaging  with people  in the group without them knowing I am travel agent so it doesn't sound like I am trying to sell them anything.  I was thinking after all of my engagement  posts and the cruise is complete maybe there is a way to announce that I am an agent and would love to help them book their next trip if they enjoyed my posts. Is that something agents do? I am stuck on what type of posts to make though. I've made some with some tips on the ports we are visiting, but do I need to further? Any help would be appreciated. - Travel Dad Matt
  3. How do you face your fear about marketing your travel business on social media if you are an introvert?
