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.

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.

208. Why Relationships Impact The Authenticity of Your Itineraries with Madi Lang

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself and BA Cultural Concierge, how it came to be, and what you do.

Madi describes growing up in Bethesda, her passion sparked by travel, and her commitment to authentic, culturally rooted experiences in Argentina, especially tango, through a hands-on, intimate approach with local experts.

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.
