Alyssa Schulke, a rising star in the travel industry and an independent travel advisor with Brownell, was recently interviewed by Agent at Home Magazine to get her tips on qualifying honeymoon and romance clients. Read Alyssa’s insights about how she works with couples to start their first travel experience as husband and wife off on the right foot!
- I meet them in person whenever I can, or at least have a conference call with them both on the phone. I always find out more about the couple when we can have a conversation.
- I have a quick two page survey I ask them to fill out prior to our meeting – this deals with not just the honeymoon details, but their hobbies and what they like to do as a couple. This is especially useful for couples who have no idea where they want to go.
- I ask them how close to the budget they want me to stay – some couples like pie in the sky, while some are very concerned about the numbers. I also ask whether their budget includes activities and transportation, or just air and hotel? I’ve found some couples haven’t considered that question.
- I also encourage the use of registries for the activities that may be beyond their budget but they still really want to do.
