About this episode

Roslyn Ranse and Ali Raymer discuss the systems and decisions necessary for delivering high-touch service in a high-volume travel business.

High-touch service doesn't happen by accident. It's built through systems, boundaries, and smart decisions behind the scenes. In this episode, Roslyn is joined by Ali Raymer, a senior travel advisor based in the US with Picture This Travel, for an honest, advisor-to-advisor conversation about what it really takes to deliver a personalised client experience while managing a high volume of bookings.
