Selling Travel and Vacation Planning​

TRAVEL AND Itinerary Planning

One of the main reasons clients come to ta ravel advisor is to help them plan a magical vacation. Planning a Disney vacation is not like planning any other type of vacation. It takes lots of time and know how to make the most of a Disney vacation. 

There is a lot of discussion in the travel industry regarding charging a planning fee.  (You can learn more about that below). While we feel you should be compensated for your time, this is also a crowded marketplace with many agents not charging planning fees. To keep us competitive, we currently do not authorize most planning fees with the exception of those to specific types of clients. 

HOW TO LOG PLANNING FEES into CRM
