An entrepreneur twice over, Laurie Burg has seen her sales skyrocket from $15M pre-pandemic, to $20M today. We sit down and talk with Laurie about why she made the decision to have her Disney-only agency broaden its focus beyond the World of Walt. Not only that, we discuss how she has managed to make the complex Disney bookings with low commissions profitable. (gasp!) The past ten years, she’s managed to iron out all the wrinkles and systemized the Disney booking process for both agents and clients, cutting down friction and optimizing conversions through thoughtful tweaks, such as different quote forms based on where clients are in the customer journey. Laurie also shares some tips on how she build community in her team of advisors. During the pandemic she realized the importance of motivating her team and keeping spirits up, which resulted in the creation of a recognition program. Whether you’re a Disney booking agency, a person looking for small changes you can add to your website to increase our sales, or someone looking at how to build a remote team, we’ve got a little something for all of you. ****** Transcript + Show Notes: https://har.news/tac22

Join us as we pick the brain of Molly Williams, a 10-year travel industry veteran who specializes in bringing some of your favorite bands around the world. That’s right, her 6-woman remote team found a niche in entertainment/production travel! While production travel isn’t for everyone, Molly’s lessons apply to any agency moving large groups around.And during that awful pandemic, Molly had an epiphany. She could either walk away or go all in and refresh her company. If you’ve considered a rebrand, Molly’s agency is one that’s done an amazing job. She worked with a pricing strategist to find out what fees she should charge and where. She worked with a copy writer to narrow down exactly the value she provided and what clients could expect working with her. She worked with a branding agency to turn her vision of her newly renamed agency, The Optimists Travel, into a reality.For those that are looking for some ways to build corporate responsibility into your agency’s DNA, we’ve also got some inspiration for you on that front too! ****** Transcript + Show Notes: https://har.news/tac21 ******Special thanks to Uniworld River Cruises for sponsoring this episode.
