Travel agent FAM trips are fun and informative and they can be very lucrative. In this video, I’m going to share with you four tips for landing more ideal clients from your travel agent fam trips and then below this video you can download a guide on how to make great videos on your travel agent fam trips.

Tip number one. Before you say yes to a fam trip make sure it’s an ideal fam trip for you by asking yourself questions such as does it align with your niche? Are the types of clients who will want to go to this destination your dream clients? Will you be able to market this destination?

Tip number two. Before you depart do a little legwork. Announce your travel agent fam trip to your audience. Put it in your newsletter, post about it on your social media channels, call your clients who you think may want to eventually go to the place
that you’re going to on your fam trip. If you attend a regular networking meeting let them know about your trip then set some goals for your travel agent fam trip. What do you want to accomplish while you’re there? What are the different videos that you want to take and the information that you want to collect? Ideally, how many different bookings would you like to this
destination?

Tip number three. While you’re on your fam trip be prepared with
forms for note-taking and keep your phone charged. I recommend bringing a portable charger for your phone. Take pictures and videos of yourself in different locations doing different activities, eating at different restaurants, seeing different sites and so on. Post on social media on the fly and keep your notes pictures and videos organized so you can create newsletters and blog posts from them later.

Tip number four. After your fam trip, follow up with the different tour operators and suppliers to find out what specials you can market. Create a two to three part blog theories about your travel agent fam trip and send it out in your email letter and post on social media about it and then link back to your blog posts. Follow up with clients that you talk to you before the fam trip that showed an interest to see if you can get them booked and of course follow up with all other prospects you have and carve out a little time to connect with each person that you met on your trip.
