I'm super excited to welcome Stephanie Gries from Travefy to the podcast! This has been a long time coming, as we personally first connected at the end of last year over a common interest-trade shows :)

Inside this episode you'll find tips both for attending trade shows AND being a vendor at trade shows, especially all those local fall and holiday events that are sure to be popping up in your feed.

Can't wait to hear wait you think about our tips and our big announcements!

In this episode, we share:

· Ways to select events to attend or have a booth at

· Trade show preparation like making sure you have the needed collateral and pre-scheduling meetings

· The right questions to ask vendors when you're not sure what to ask

· and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

It's Hispanic Heritage Month and I'd be remiss if I didn't 1-mention it and 2-share some ways that you could also share your own culture, or a culture that you appreciate, within your travel business.

In this episode, I share:

· The importance of appreciating culture, not appropriating it

· How I have shared my Hispanic culture

· What I've seen other businesses do to honor their culture

· and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!

A recent article by Travel Age West mentioned that social media is now the top marketing channel for travel advisors and it had me a little skeptical. I'm sharing my thoughts on the article and some of the other surprising stats they recorded.

In this episode, I share:

· How you need more than just social media content to be successful as a travel advisor

· The importance of growing your network for potential partnership and collaboration opportunities

· Why certain metrics don't count

· and so much more!

Enjoy (and take action)!
