💼 Inside Our Travel Agent Bootcamp: Building Skills and a Stronger Community

Uncategorized Jul 27, 2025

Why The Good Travel Agent is more than just a travel franchise

This week, we brought together dozens of passionate travel professionals for our latest in-person Good Travel Agent Bootcamp — and it was one of our most impactful sessions yet.

Hosted exclusively for agents within our travel agent franchise, this wasn’t just a day of learning. It was a celebration of community, collaboration, and the kind of support you can only find when you're part of something bigger.

🌟 More Than Just Training — It’s About Togetherness

At The Good Travel Agent, we believe being a homeworking travel agent doesn’t mean going it alone. In fact, connection and community are at the heart of everything we do.

This Bootcamp was a reflection of that ethos, bringing people together to share experiences, learn from each other, and grow as individuals and business owners.

🔍 What We Covered at the Bootcamp

Here’s a look at just a few of the powerful sessions we delivered during the day

🧠 Growth Mindset and Motivation

We kicked off with a deep dive into personal development, helping agents build confidence, overcome fear, and approach their business with a positive, proactive mindset.

Takeaways included:

  • Building daily habits for success

  • Shifting from fixed to growth mindset

  • Reframing setbacks as learning opportunities

👥 Understanding Buyer Psychology

Every customer is different, and knowing how to connect with them is key
We explored the four main buyer types and taught our agents how to tailor their approach to each one, improving both service and conversion rates

💎 Attracting Luxury Clients

Selling luxury is about more than high price tags — it’s about building trust and offering a service that feels effortless

We broke down:

  • Where luxury clients spend time

  • How to identify them early

  • What services they expect from a top-level homeworking travel agent

💬 Quoting Like a Pro

Modern customers expect a modern experience
We trained agents on how to deliver quotes via WhatsApp, video, and voice notes, helping them stand out from generic email responses and drive quicker decisions

💸 Upselling Without the Awkwardness

Adding value should never feel salesy
We showed agents how to create complete, irresistible holiday packages with extras like private transfers, room upgrades, lounge passes and more, all while boosting their commission

✅ Closing the Sale and Following Up

We focused on real-world techniques for confidently asking for the sale, following up consistently, and making sure no opportunity slips through the cracks
