About this episode

The episode discusses technology investments for new travel agents and the challenges of transitioning to full-time work.

This week’s Friday 15, Steph Lee is back! She’ll be cohosting with Phil and Samantha Hammond of Jus Adventures! Let’s have some fun, plus some questions to discuss this Friday at 12 pm CST. Join us! I watched some of HAR Wired last week, thank you. My question is what do you suggest should be the first technology investment I make once my agency is set up? —Anonymous I’m a new travel agent and have found HAR invaluable as I try to learn. I’m thinking of taking ASTA’s Roadmap Course and HAR’s 7 Day Setup Accelerator. Do I need a host agency training if I complete those? If I do ask a host agency about their training, what should I ask? – Tanya D. I’ve been selling travel since 2023. I’m getting to the point where I am thinking about leaving my full-time job but I am nervous about the income stability. What advice do you have for someone in my shoes to “Take the leap” so to speak? And how do people manage the money when it comes in so inconsistently. I’m used to my paycheck every two weeks! — Sara B.
