Capitalizing on your strengths:

People love being around you, so whether it’s your team, guests or partners, try to make as much time as possible for them. This will ensure that they have as much trust in the business as they do in you, which makes for a more motivated team, more loyal customers and more valuable partners.

Ensure you have a process for collecting reviews. Your guests always have a good time when you’re around, so you want to ensure that you’re showing the rest of the world that feedback and boosting your conversion rates with it. You can set up automated emails on Rezdy that asks for reviews once the guest has completed the tour or activity.

Because you can easily connect with people from all walks of life, you may want to consider creating tours & activities specifically for international travelers and working with resellers who will bring you travelers from those international markets. For example:

Also consider working with hotels & accommodations. Hotels often prioritize improving their guest’s experience over making a commission. When they send their guests your way, your services are a direct reflection of their reputation.

Therefore, they only work with a handful of operators who they trust. Your ability to connect with guests and make them feel comfortable are exactly what hotels are looking for. Plus, your ability to connect with people will help you build trust between you and the hotel which will quickly make your experiences the top recommendation for their guests.

Finally, keep networking. Keep putting yourself out there and meeting new people. Attend industry events, join professional groups, and seek out opportunities to meet new people. You never know who you might meet and how they could help you or your business in the future.
