Travel Advisors who attend Amazing Destination Experience (ADE) trips gain more than just a familiarization trip, they return with firsthand knowledge, stories, and insider insights that can transform the way they sell. From Alaska’s stunning landscapes to Uganda’s wildlife safaris, these immersive experiences give you the tools to inspire your clients and close more bookings.
Here’s how to turn your ADE experience into a sales advantage:
1. Share the Story, Not Just the Destination
Clients respond to personal stories. Instead of simply describing a resort or itinerary, share what you experienced firsthand: the wildlife encounter in Uganda, the local flavors in Belize, or the breathtaking glaciers in Alaska. Your excitement and authenticity make the destination come alive.
2. Sell from Knowledge, Not Brochures
Having walked the beaches, toured the hotels, and explored local culture, you can answer client questions with confidence. From room views and dining options to hidden gems off the beaten path, your insights help clients make informed decisions. And, trust you as their expert.
3. Connect Experiences to Client Needs
Think about what your client truly wants - adventure, relaxation, romance, or cultural immersion - and match your experience to those travel goals. A safari in Uganda might appeal to an adventurous family, while Sirenian Bay in Belize could be the perfect luxury honeymoon escape.
4. Gain Visibility and Engage Clients through Social Media
Social media is a powerful way to showcase your expertise and connect with clients. Share photos, videos, and stories from trips or ADE experiences to highlight destinations and travel insights. Regular, authentic posts build trust, keep you top-of-mind, and can turn followers into bookings, all while positioning you as a go-to travel expert.
5. Stay Top-of-Mind with Follow-Ups
After sharing your ADE experience, check in with clients who expressed interest. Personalized emails, social updates, or in-person conversations referencing your trip reinforce your expertise and increase the likelihood of bookings.
6. BONUS ADVICE. Outline a Shot List Before you Travel
There’s no doubt that attending an ADE gives you so many opportunities to grab relevant social media content. But going in blind without a plan will just leave you frustrated once you start editing a reel or putting together a post. Outline what you want to talk to, what you want to create posts about and what trending audio is applicable. That upfront planning pays off long after the trip, helping you create content that educates, inspires, and ultimately drives the sales momentum you want from your experience.
The Amazing Destination Experience is more than just a trip, it’s a business-building tool. The knowledge, connections, and inspiration you gain can turn ordinary proposals into unforgettable client journeys.
