Dear Dave,
Many of you "senior" agents, have much
more experience in the travel industry
than I do. As such, I'm always learning,
especially from you, my travel agent
partners. Of course over your careers you
seen it all... travel complications due to
natural disasters, armed conflicts,
weather problems, recession and currency
uncertainty, and many more. Of course you
have taught me that these problems do come
an go.
Here are some things that I'm grateful
that you all have taught me recently:
Good agents seem to find a way to do well,
and take care of their clients, in good or
challenging times. Happy selling!
