Why I love selling travel.

Why I love selling travel.

I usually fill this blog with antidotes of the silly questions my clients ask, or complaints about the airlines charging for pillows and blankets, but today I am going to tell you why I love what I do.
Obviously I am not here in an attempt to get rich, because after I pay my nanny, it is really a “wash”. Even though I LOVE the people I work with and work for, working with them is not enough of a reason to take me away from my children.
I love what I do because yesterday I came to work and found a box of cookies delivered to me from one of my clients who wanted to thank me for her vacation and finding her a less expensive rate for a future trip.
I love what I do because last week one of my clients called me to see how “motherhood was treating me”.
My clients have invited me to their weddings and children’s birthday parties. They sent me sympathy cards when I lost my grandma, cards of encouragements when I was struggling with bringing my son home from Russia.
I talk to some of my clients more often than I do some of my relatives.
I love that my clients call me after their trip to say they had a great time. I love it less when they call to tell me they got sunburn or lost their camera.
I love helping a nervous fiancé plan a surprise engagement in the Caribbean, or planning a family reunion.
I love that I can help people create memories that will last a lifetime and help make their dreams come true.
My boss is working really hard at making our website user friendly and easier to navigate. He keeps asking me to help him with it, but I don’t have the heart to tell him that all you really want is the best price possible and good service. He works really hard at negotiating the best prices possible at the hotels, but if you ever find a better deal, please call us. If there is anything else we can do for you (within reason) let us know. Making you happy is really what keeps me going. Thanks for everything and I look forward to planning your next great vacation.
