Experienced in the destination but new as an independent travel advisor—how did you find your first clients?
Good afternoon everyone,
I just started this week as an independent travel advisor in the Riviera Maya. I’ve been reading through many of your posts, and it’s really reassuring to see that I’m not alone in this—many of us share the same questions, and it’s amazing how people with decades of experience are always willing to help.
I should mention that I already have many years of experience working in this destination and selling travel, but this is my first time doing it on my own.
I’d love to ask for some advice: how did you start attracting clients in the beginning? I know it takes time, and I’m not expecting things to take off overnight, but I’m eager to learn.
What are some mistakes you made early on that you thought were good ideas at the time? And what are some lessons that only experience could really teach you?
Thanks in advance for sharing your insights!
