Does it really matter where an OTA is based (country, town) or any place is ok provided there is reliable internet? Do you necessarily have to meet the clients physically?

[@travelagenthaven]

Hi there! You can absolutely have a fully remote travel business. That's most of what I teach! Though I do have some agents I mentor that have a more local business. You get to choose. 😄

My family & friends are the LAST people id use as prospects. Plus, they don't like it. Youll lose friends that way. I don't know 100 people to tell.

[@travelagenthaven]

How would you know they don't like it if you haven't tried? It's all about how you do it. Nobody likes feeling sold to, of course. You always want to come from a place of service - helping and solving problems. My first few clients were family members, friends, and acquaintances - so this definitely works. It's also worked for dozens of agents I've personally mentored. Good luck to you!!

[@Solange-w9p]

Do you know 100 people?

[@travelagenthaven]

You actually don't even need to know 100 people to get started! If you know 5, ask 5. Every time you ask, get the name and contact information of someone else to ask. Repeat that process, and there you go - you have at least 100 leads.

[@MedMichelle60]

How many followers do you have on facebook? I'll bet its over 100!

[@travelagenthaven]

@@MedMichelle60 hi there!! I'm not sure if you were asking me or someone else (I'm still new to KZbin... hehe). It's about 2,400 now on my personal profile (with a professional dashboard), and I have almost 5,000 in a Facebook Group. But I definitely didn't start out that way! We all start from 0, and I'm all about growing an audience one person at a time.

[@MedMichelle60]

@@travelagenthaven That's great!

Great advice and tips
