- Craft personalized travel plans: flights, stays, tours, cruises, and packages built around each client's budget, style, and must-haves.
- Connect with clients to uncover their ideal trip, present tailored options, and confidently close the sale.
- Resolve questions and concerns promptly and professionally (payments, date changes, room upgrades, add-ons, etc.).
- Add value with insider knowledge: hidden gems, top photo spots, local experiences, and timely deals that make each trip special.

- Strong communication and people skills; comfortable leading conversations, handling objections, and guiding clients to a decision.
- Ability to juggle multiple quotes, itineraries, and bookings without dropping details.
- Fast learner when it comes to new tools — CRMs, booking engines, analytics dashboards, and collaboration platforms.
- Background in sales, customer service, hospitality, or travel is a bonus, but not required — we provide full training.
