  • 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.

226. Using AI For Your Client Workflow with Heather Keller
Q: What's your stance on data privacy when using AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude?
Use private data settings, avoid free accounts for client data, and consider terms and conditions about recording and deriving notes. If needed, reference a separate episode about AI and data security for more detail.
226. Using AI For Your Client Workflow with Heather Keller
Q: How do you handle pushback or difficult client questions when using AI-generated responses?
I use the empathize-explain-offer options framework, with built-in pushback scripts. The GPT suggests two options and avoids offering refunds or calls unless appropriate, reducing emotional fatigue while maintaining professional client interactions.
226. Using AI For Your Client Workflow with Heather Keller
Q: Can you walk us through how you structure a GPT for client emails and what data you feed it?
I train the GPT on my client workflow guide, the TIQUE training materials, and the trip lifecycle. It pulls from those structured sources to generate email drafts, asks qualifying questions, and aligns with the brand voice. I also specify sources (e.g., Michelin Guides for restaurant data) and set up a template that outputs in an email-friendly format.
224. What it Means to Have a Preferred Partnership with Katie Ferrari of Hyatt Hotels Corporation
Q: What does it mean to have a preferred partnership from the brand side?
It means building a close, advisor-focused relationship where the brand provides insider access, personalized support, and tools like Privé to ensure the advisor can confidently match the right client with the right property and experiences.
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.
