Brittany the Travel Agent Mentor

What I've been up to 👀

I'm still supporting travel agents!

A LOT of it has been behind the scenes - through mentorship, our done-for-you services, and more.

If you're NEWER in your journey, then you should definitely check out what we have going on at Travel Agent Haven!

I have loads of resources there for newbie agents, and for people thinking about becoming travel advisors.

We also have the podcast Pack Your Passport for future travel agents, and a really solid YouTube channel (which I'll link here).

We're also bringing back Travel Agent School, though we're going to cover more advanced topics there! And this page will be more focused on creating content and marketing. All will become clear soon. 😊

For now, definitely come follow the YouTube channel for Travel Agent Haven!

don't come for me! truth is...

It's always been hard for me to take positions on things like this one social media.

Why?

Because it's not podcasting vs social media.

I'm not going to tell you that Reels don't so anything for you.

I'm not going to say that you're wasting time with Instagram.

The truth is, I believe you need a well-rounded marketing approach (and if anything, I'm more of a content maximalist).

But I DO say, that you're vulnerable if you're building an audience and a brand on someone else's land.

Every trabel business owner should have:
• A website
• Long-form content (blog, podcast, YouTube)
• An email list
• At least one social media platform

But if you only have time for one, or if you're trying to figure out what to start with, I say you should start a podcast.

And ideally, a video podcast!

Why?

Many reasons - and I'm breaking them all down in an upcoming episode of the Travel Pro Audio Show.

Comment POD and I'll send it over!

Calling all travel agent friends!

And FUTURE travel agent friends...

Next week, I'm letting you come and take a peek behind the scenes...

Even if you're not one of my affiliated agents, you can come learn with us for FREE!

(note that the recordings aren't free unless you're one of my agents, or unless you pay for an All-Access Pass)

So I'm inviting you tooooo:

GET CLIENTS NOW!

We're gonna be talking about:

* How to get your first few (or next few) clients
* Ways to use social media the RIGHT way (not chasing followers)
* Steps to building a lead list with social media content
* Workflows and systems for generating leads
* Discovery calls and how to make them way less awkward

Then on Friday, I'm doing a separate BONUS workshop (not a lame-o hyper-salesy webinar; I HATE those) specifically about Getting Paid to Plan Itineraries.

My teaching style is very practical.

You'll leave each day actually having DONE something, and I take you through things step-by-step.

I'm setting aside an hour each day - but if people need more help (and if it's a day where I don't have something afterwards), I'm happy to stay on longer.

See you there!!

Tag your travel agent friends.

Select your calendar, and accept the calendar subscription notice. When accepted, all of our events will automatically appear in your calendar application or mobile device.

Did you miss me? I missed all of you! Let's talk marketing... 👀

I've been doing a LOT of research.

Observing, planning, reading, and helping so many of you with your own marketing behind the scenes.

Something I hear SO often, is how stressed all of you feel with the content creation hamster wheel.

I FEEL you.

I enjoy marketing, and I enjoy creating content - and I still haven't showed up on this account because, honestly? I'm tired lol

And once you start helping someone with something, you tend to do less of it yourself.

For example, I have a ton of travel agents in my audience - do ya'll plan your own trips heavily? Lmk in the comments.

I want to give you some relief, though when it comes to your marketing:

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME.

I know it feels like we do.

But you want to be strategic.

How do you WANT for people to discover you?

What do you WANT to be known for?

And if you're going between which medium you should show up on (take a look at the infographic on the post), really consider starting a podcast.

There are soooo few travel podcasts out there, and this really is a fab opportunity for travel pros.

Do you have a podcast?

If so, shout that out in the comments so we can support you!

Well hello, travel pro!

[FOLLOW IF YOU'RE A TRAVEL AGENT]

I'm not gonna lie - I've been hiding a bit.

Which TOTALLY goes against my own advice of putting myself out there online (which always yields the best results!!).

While I've been showing up consistently for my friends, family, followers and the awesome agents in my paid communities, I've been MIA here and on the Travel Agent School podcast.

So! Here I am! 🤗

What can you expect on this account?

Here's an overview:

• Quality Over Quantity

I'm not going to make Reels everyday lol I just don't have the energy for that at the moment - and honestly, if you're in the early stages of building your travel agent business, then you don't have the time to binge them anyway!

I do make travel Reels for my own travel agent/influencer brand if you wanna follow me over at for inspiration. ✨️

• Long Captions

I tend to write a lot, and I have many, many thoughts.

Check it out - I'm a poet, and I didn't even know it. 😋

This account is committed to helping you grow as a travel agent.

And honestly, so you can become SO MUCH MORE than that.

An influencer.
A movement maker.
A retreat leader.
A group trip host.

Whatever your travel pro dreams are, let's make 'em happen 🔥

• Pretty Pictures

We're all travelers here - so I know you'll appreciate a good landscape image! 👌🏻

Also, does anyone else miss the old Instagram where we shared photos abd micro-blogs?! 🥲

• I'm Gonna Sell Stuff

Straight up.

I wanna help you and see you grow 100%!! And that will involve paid offers sometimes. Just want you to know now! 💫

This weekend, I'm at a Travel Blogger Summit in Denver, and I cannot WAAAAIT to share all kinds of blogging tips with you all!

What should I talk about next on the Travel Agent School Podcast?
