7 lessons that travel well
A friend of mine once asked me if anything that I had learned in my past life as a Sergeant in the Canadian Army, ever gets utilized today in my second career “selling travel”. My response was simply “Every day!”
Here’s a few:
7 lessons that travel well
1. Trust and Respect are hard earned, and not easily given!
“They usually both take much time and care to build up, but either can be lost in the mere blink of an eye, never to return”!
2. If you don’t bring it, you can’t take it off
“It rains in England and snows in Canada, and depending on the time of year, you might need to bring a different jacket for both locations. Having no plan, often just further commits us to a bad one!”
3. Always check the position of the bolt first
“If you are not ready to deal with something right at this moment, don’t open it up without seeking help or clarification first! That which can’t be readily seen by the eye, can often stop the heart on contact.”
4. Prepare to move
“Deciding where you need to go next, is often much more important to the overall scope of things, than solely focusing on where you once travelled in the past! There are also clients you may never work well with, and knowing that in advance can often be a saving grace in itself. Never try to be all things to all people, just be yourself and you will eventually find your tribe!”
5. Know your troops and promote their welfare
“Qualify your clients, they are all unique and will hardly ever need or want the exact same vacation. Just because there is a suit hanging on the rack, doesn’t mean it fits your client! Respect their choices the same way that you would want yours respected. Pull that one off, and you just may see more ice time again in the future”!
6. A good go, is a good go!
“Digging a trench is hard work, doing pack drill can be even harder, but helping someone to plan their vacation or cruise should not be considered work! Enjoy what you do, and who you do it for, and you just might do it well someday”!
7. Learn to Serve
“If you are doing something just for the money, or for someone else’s approval, you’re not likely going to see much of either! But provide a service that truly helps others who are seeking it and you will one day be richer than you ever dreamed possible! Look after the troops and they will look after you! “
Do you have a lesson that travels well?
