  • Jam Packed with Actionable Information

    After just one podcast, I’m hooked. As a new travel advisor, I’ve been searching for a podcast that will give me practical information.

    Now I’ve found it! TIQUE Talks is full of information that works for me. I don’t feel talked down to because I’m a newbie, I feel valued.

    I’m now a follower of TIQUE Talks and am going to binge listen!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

264. How 'Going Backward' Can Actually Grow Your Business with Emily Hegenberger
Q: For the advisors who think they have to choose between being fully global, traveling all the time, saying yes to every fam trip, or feeling like they need to be home and fully rooted in order to grow their business, what would you tell them?
She recommends balancing local presence with exposure to the wider world. Being involved in everyday community life can create connection and opportunity, while travel and global perspectives help her serve clients seeking culturally immersive experiences.
264. How 'Going Backward' Can Actually Grow Your Business with Emily Hegenberger
Q: What was your approach to launching your business with your friends and family? Was that just organic conversation that happened?
She initially worked hard on early accounts and later told groups of people, including her former mothers' group, what services she offered. Her parents also spoke about her business to their friends, leading to trusted clients and referrals.
262. Navigating Seasonal Travel and Income as a Travel Advisor with Brittany Pigorini
Q: How do you deal with the emotional trap of thinking that when things are slow, your business is failing, and how do you forecast finances through seasonal income fluctuations?
Brittany treats slower months as a time to batch marketing and prepare for busier periods. She keeps money in the business, limits salary withdrawals when commissions are low, and accepts that income is unpredictable rather than interpreting a temporary slowdown as failure.
262. Navigating Seasonal Travel and Income as a Travel Advisor with Brittany Pigorini
Q: How has living in Lake Como changed how you sell Lake Como and Italy, and why is Como not your top-selling destination?
Living there gives Brittany firsthand knowledge, but she often recommends alternatives because Como is expensive and has limited family activities. She directs families to places such as Switzerland or other destinations that better fit their needs and budgets.
258. Starting Over In A Career That You Love with Sarah Magnoni
Q: Tell us a little bit about your journey into travel.
Sarah explains her transition from coaching and leadership roles after a burnout in 2018, moving from corporate leadership to building a business around immersive, small-group travel for women, starting with retreats and then evolving into travel advisory work.
