Your clients are hesitating. The world feels uncertain, and doing nothing feels safe to them. But in travel, inaction isn't neutral. It costs money. In this episode, Glenda breaks down exactly how to talk to fence-sitting clients, what questions actually move people from 'maybe later' to 'let's do this,' and why what's happening with oil prices right now is something every travel advisor needs to understand and be communicating to their clients. Plus: the fuel surcharge fine print buried in cruise line contracts that could surprise your clients after they've already paid in full. This is a timely one. Don't sit on it.
