Y’all… can we have an uncomfortable conversation? 😂☕
Apparently there are still people who think travel agents are just magical little vacation elves that exist to work for free.
Spoiler alert: we’re not. 💀
This summer, I’ve spent HOURS building custom quotes, comparing resorts, finding the best promotions, explaining ticket options, answering 47 follow-up questions, and basically becoming someone’s unpaid vacation concierge…
…only to get ghosted harder than my middle school crush. 👻
Or my personal favorite:
“Thanks so much!!”
books somewhere else.
Respectfully…
✨ what the hell ✨
Here’s how this actually works because I genuinely think people don’t know.
I don’t charge you to build your trip.
I don’t get paid for the three quotes.
I don’t get paid for the six emails.
I don’t get paid for the phone call.
I don’t get paid for the “just one more question…”
I ONLY get paid if you book with me and actually travel.
So when someone uses me as Google with personality, copies my homework, and books somewhere else because they found a deal that’s literally the exact same price… I just donated hours of my workday.
Imagine walking into a bakery.
Sampling six cupcakes.
Having the baker explain every flavor.
Then saying, “Thanks!” and walking next door to buy the exact same cupcake.
You can do it…
…but don’t act surprised when the baker gives you the look. 😂
Now, if you decide not to travel? Totally okay.
If the budget doesn’t work? Totally okay.
If life happens? Totally okay.
Just… USE YOUR WORDS. 😂
A simple “Hey, we decided not to move forward” is infinitely better than disappearing into the witness protection program.
I absolutely LOVE what I do. I love planning vacations. I love saving my clients money when promotions drop. I love obsessing over dining reservations, Lightning Lanes, cruise cabins, and all the tiny details that make a trip amazing.
I just ask for one thing in return:
Don’t treat my business like a free search engine.
Because behind every “quick quote” is an actual human who skipped lunch, stayed up too late, or spent time away from her family trying to help yours.
Okay.
Stepping off my tiny soapbox now. 💁🏼♀️✨
