Dear Dave,
How well do you know your clients? Even if
your clients are coming in to book a quick
sun getaway, asking them one magical
question, may open up a whole new
relationship with them?
My travel agent knows that I love exploring
World Heritage Sites, world wonders and
checking off new countries.
I was lucky to check several bucket list
things off my list last month.
Sandy's travel agent knows she loves the
simple things in life....hot weather, blue
clear water, good food and great friends
with amazing new experiences!

| Terracotta Warriors, Xi'an, China |
So, what is that magical question? Simply ask "WHAT ARE YOUR
TRAVEL GOALS?" I promise that if
you ask this simple sentence of all of your
clients, you'll have some great
conversations, that will lead to more
bookings!
Happy selling!
