Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Beyond Bookings: A Mentor's Guide to Building a Real Travel BusinessMost travel agents don't fail because they don't love travel. They fail because nobody taught them the business underneath the bookings - how commission actually gets paid, what to charge, when to say no to a client, or how to survive the slow first year without burning out or giving up.Beyond Bookings is the guide travel entrepreneur and mentor Indira Ramgarib-Katwaroo wishes someone had handed her when she started. Across 26 chapters, it walks new and growing advisors through the entire arc of building a sustainable travel business - from choosing a niche and picking a host agency, through pricing models, cash flow, client relationships, and crisis management, all the way to eventually scaling a team or planning your exit.This isn't another book full of inspiration with nothing underneath it. Every chapter pairs honest, mentor-style guidance with a concrete Coaching Prompt you actually do, not just read - and real case studies that include the wins and the mistakes, because knowing what went wrong for someone else is often more useful than another success story. You'll learn: - How to choose (and actually test) a niche instead of guessing- The commission payment lag that blindsides most new agents - and how to plan around it- Commission-only vs. fee-for-service vs. hybrid pricing, with real numbers to start from- How to build client trust, handle difficult clients, and know when to let one go- What belongs in a contract, and why your business structure protects more than you think- A real crisis-response framework for when things go wrong - because they will- How to avoid burnout in a job that never fully clocks out- What it actually takes to scale, hire, or eventually sell what you've builtWhether you're weighing your first host agency or planning your eventual exit, Beyond Bookings meets you where you are and gives you the next honest step - plus a full appendix of ready-to-use scripts and templates, and a glossary for anyone new to the industry's vocabulary.This is a book for travel professionals who want to build something real - not just take bookings.
