418: Be a Product of the Product: Why Travel Agents Must Travel (and How This Applies to Your Business Too)

In this short but powerful episode of Passports, Profits, and Pixie Dust, Lindsay Dollinger keeps it real with a message that might ruffle a few feathers: if you’re a travel advisor, you have to travel. Period. After attending an in-person travel advisor training, Lindsay was reminded that the best way to confidently book trips, serve clients, and attract new ones is to be a product of the product. Whether it’s cruising, Disney, or international travel, firsthand experience matters—and the same truth applies to whatever business you’re in. Inside this episode, you’ll hear: ✨ Why traveling is non-negotiable for travel agents (and how it builds your confidence + expertise) ✨ Real examples of lessons Lindsay only learned by doing, not by training ✨ How to get savvy about planning trips without breaking the bank ✨ Why every business owner should practice what they preach—whether it’s speaking, writing, or coaching This episode is your permission slip (and gentle kick in the pixie dust) to do the thing you want to be known for. 📌 Resources & Links: Join the Social Sales Studio and turn your travel experiences into marketing that sells: lindsaydollinger.com/membershipConnect with Lindsay on Instagram: @lindsaydollingerShare this episode with a fellow travel advisor or biz bestie who needs the reminder!
