    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

204. How To Calculate Your Planning Fee with Sarah Eppler
Q: What advice would you give to advisors starting from scratch with pricing?
Know your numbers, do time tracking by trip type, set minimums, and present pricing within a clear buyer's journey; communicate value upfront to avoid sticker shock and to position yourself as an advisor, not a salesperson.
204. How To Calculate Your Planning Fee with Sarah Eppler
Q: How did you reframe pricing to reflect labor and overhead rather than just trip cost?

204. How To Calculate Your Planning Fee with Sarah Eppler
Q: Tell us about your background and what led you to rework your fee structures.
Sarah shares over 20 years in B2B marketing before pivoting to travel itineraries, realizing that structuring fees around actual labor and process would create sustainable income and improve client conversations.
202. What It Means To "Go All In" On Your Travel Business with Gia Lee
Q: What did going all in actually look like when you started from scratch?

198. Group Trips To Sell with Megan Grant Pederson
Q: What is your approach to launching and marketing a trip to balance interest and capacity?
Launch six to eight months in advance (ideally a year), offer early access to previous travelers, use early-bird pricing for a limited time, and then open to the public with clear marketing assets and a compelling trip description.
