Tripology

"Tip for Success: Follow through, follow through….don’t give up! When we get the initial request, 1. I immediately send an email thanking the clients for the request 2. I give them “a little bit about us” 3. I offer a short sentence about where they want to go 4. I ask them to email their phone number so we can schedule a call to discuss their options personally 5. If the lead contains a phone number, I call “right away”! (don’t wait, there might be others also contacting the clients) Always remember to: • Be friendly and courteous! Build a relationship! • Get answers to the “potential client” as quickly as possible! • Stay with it “until they say book” [or say no]. • Don’t take it personally, this is a business."

"Tripology is a great marketing tactic. Leads are continually sent to me. Whether I go after one, this is entirely up to me. I love the flexibility. I establish the criteria for which lead to pursue: region, cost, time of year to travel. Also, I can decide whether I want to accept e-mail leads or phone leads. It has been most helpful that Tripology prospects know what they are looking for and frequently are ready to book. They have already established their guidelines. It is up to me to convince them to work with me. I recommend this service every day to my colleagues."

"In December 2007, I started as a part-time agent working from home. Things were very slow. I was only able to put in a few hours here and there and then it was mainly doing travel for closest friends and family. I needed something to give me a jump start into the business using minimal marketing. Even though I had been cruising for over 20 years and know the ins and outs of cruising, word of mouth was not bringing in new clients. Then Tripology was introduced to me by my host agency. I sat in on their webinar, took notes, created a profile, added a cute picture of myself in scuba gear, added destinations, and started buying leads. I love the flexibility of being able to pick and choose what leads I want to purchase. Tripology's parameters for receiving leads could have me doing Disney cruises all day long if that is what I want. I am proud to be on board with a company that I truly feel has their agent's best interest as a priority. I now work full time as a travel agent. This summer has been the best one yet and a lot of it has to do with the leads I have purchased through Tripology! I have been getting so much new business. Repeat clients and referrals from past Tripolgy leads. In fact, a trip lead that I bought many moons ago booked a group cruise this summer. Already starting next year's commission with a bang! "

"I like Tripology because I feel it is the best return on my advertising dollars. I have had some really big sales this year in a down economy. I am closing the majority of the leads I accept and I have had repeat business and referrals from those leads. I have been able to make money and have bought leads for less than $5.00 and closed the sale!"

"About 2 ½ years ago most of my business was from current clientele and referrals from these clients… I had no real way to market new clients and depended mostly upon the host agency. As I moved forward as an independent contractor, I started looking for other ways to find new clients… so I gave Tripology a chance. The first lead I purchased, I converted into a booking (over 18 months ago) and I became an enthusiast of this wonderful marketing resource. I have not looked back to any other lead service since. I know that my business has grown in large due part to my commitment to Tripology and its commitment to me."

"Tripology has allowed me to expand beyond my local clients and bring my business across the country. I now have clients in 23 additional states! It gives me a much needed new source for clients. I love Tripology because I know that when I contact a potential new client through a Tripology lead, it will be something I specialize in, so I feel very confident working with them. Much different than the calls I receive directly into the office! Tripology saves me time by doing the ground work for me!"
