  • Must Listen!!

    Found Tique Talks just as I was launching my business as a 40-something former stay-at-home mom feeling wildly behind. Replaced my Audible addiction entirely—it’s been Tique Talks nonstop for a year and absolutely essential to building my business. Implemented everything real time, just finishing year one, and crushed my goals. I share it with everyone at my host agency, especially other newcomers. You ladies are basically my besties at this point—so pour me up a glass! Thank you!! - Gia with @t... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

214. Creating Seamless Multi-Destination Trips with a DMC with Milena Stancati
Q: What is the best way for an advisor to approach multi-country itineraries in terms of process?
Think of it as a repeatable product line with standard templates, including a single, comprehensive client brief and a transition checklist, so you can preempt gaps and maintain consistency across destinations.
216. Don’t Assume A DMC Will Break Your Client's Budget with Jonathan Epstein
Q: What is the difference between a destination specialist and a DMC, and why does Celebrated prefer the umbrella term?
A destination specialist aggregates DMC elements and tour operator capabilities under one umbrella to better serve travel advisors, with a focus on flexibility, local knowledge, and comprehensive support rather than being locked into a single transactional model.
206. How Hiring A VA Amplifies Your Ability To Scale with Chelsey Benkner
Q: What makes Outwork different from freelancing platforms like Fiverr or Upwork?
Outwork focuses on long-term partnerships with travel-specific VAs who are employees, not contractors, ensuring stable hours, better governance, and consistent training aligned with travel CRMs.
206. How Hiring A VA Amplifies Your Ability To Scale with Chelsey Benkner
Q: When is the right time to hire a VA, and what should advisors have prepared beforehand?
The guest suggests assessing SOPs, systems, automations, and workflows first; if these are in place and client inquiries slow to respond, it may be time to hire; otherwise, invest in process improvements before outsourcing.
206. How Hiring A VA Amplifies Your Ability To Scale with Chelsey Benkner
Q: Can you introduce yourself and explain how you founded Outwork Collective?
Chelsey explains eight years in the travel industry, building a host agency, experiencing explosive growth post-COVID, and identifying the need for travel-industry specific VAs, which led to founding Outwork Collective.
