Travel Agent Achievers - To Educate, Encourage and Empower Travel Professionals Roslyn Ranse

'Acts of Service' is one of my love languages. Yet - this podcast episode isn't about that.. 
Stephanie Gries of Travefy and I, Ros, are talking about going above and beyond for travel clients in a way that isn't intrusive, is 'smart' in how we use our time and also delights clients whilst they prepare for and are traveling. 
This tool is one that caught my attention during the pandemic. Not only was it one made initially for travellers, but it easy to use and intuitive with how it works. PLUS they are always adding new features and tools to help us as the Travel Experts provide further value for our clients. 
Stephanie and I discuss all things systems, how using tools that talk to each other or all in one tools that function well are able to help us as travel advisors focus on what we do best. 
Education is important and together we both believe that if you are learning, we want to see you implement.

A conversation that I have had and I want to continue to have is what our roles are within the Travel industry, but also how we can all do better in our businesses and how we can work together to ensure we are strong. 
This episode with Brett Jardine, from CATO - the Council or Australian Tour Operators, opens the discussion about the roles we play, the legalities we need to get checked and where associations can help us all come together. 
Brett is passionate about helping everyone in their positions and wants to see the industry succeed, and in doing that we need to ensure we tick all the boxes in our roles. 
Are you blurring the lines, in your role as a Travel Advisor and the work you may be doing with tour operators? Are you unknowingly acting as a Tour Operator and could potentially fall into trouble without even knowing it?

Groups as part of your Travel Business Mix can be very rewarding. You can predict future sales and you can plan a lot of experiences far in advance, which helps with your pipeline. 
In this episode I share my own experience as well as the "SYSTEM" and stages behind our Group business success. There is NO one stop shop for every group, however the 5 stages that I share can be replicated and used over and over again so that each group has the same experience with you. It is one of the reasons why we love doing them.
I am also giving our 5 Stages away, so make sure you grab the latest FREE resource at the show notes below.
Our Achievers Mastermind is open to help you learn more about groups and also in April 2023, we are diving into Marketing and Promoting them to ensure that you fill each experience. (Join up on our website) You get access to all our past training as well as live interaction each month. 
Even when you are 'busy' having a system in place can clear your mind and also provide the next step to take action on.. No need to feel the overwhelm of EVERYTHING having to be done at once.

Nadine Champion is an inspiring speaker, martial arts teacher and author.  She has dedicated over 35 years of her life to studying martial arts and discovering practical tools for strengthening the mind, developing resilience and building courage.
Nadine and Ros discuss how to explore the power of positive affirmations through the “ I am” concept. The results can be striking. The only two rules are to write positive things, so they can't be negative. The exercise is about who you are at your core and getting you to think about your life, how you show up in your life and who you really are.  It's about valuing who we are and what we are able to give and what we do as travel advisors, what we give to our clients and what we share with our clients,it comes back to who we are as ourselves. 
In this episode of the Travel Agent Achievers podcast, Ros and Nadine talk about how Nadine transformed her life from kickboxer to cancer patient to professional speaker. She shared how she took courage by focusing on mindset, mental and morning routine.
