  • 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.

254. Using LinkedIn To Elevate Your Client Base with Jace Tarbell
Q: Why did you choose LinkedIn as your platform for reaching your target audience?
Because my ideal clients are professionals who prioritize efficiency and relationships; LinkedIn is where they are actively networking and researching partners, so it offers a higher-value, less noisy channel than other social platforms.
254. Using LinkedIn To Elevate Your Client Base with Jace Tarbell
Q: Welcome, Jace. How are you?
I'm great and excited to discuss how LinkedIn and relationship-building have transformed my travel business, especially in attracting high-value clients.
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.
