โผ๏ธ๐ฐ๐ค LETโS TALK MONEY!! ๐ค๐ฐโผ๏ธ

Got your attention?! ๐ Goodโฆ because we need to talk about the elephant ๐ in the roomโฆ
YOUR HOLIDAY BUDGET! โ๏ธ๐๐ฐ
Thereโs one little question I ask every client when they enquire:
โHow much are you looking to spend?โ ๐
And honestlyโฆ sometimes youโd think Iโd asked for their bank PIN! ๐๐
I promise Iโm NOT being rude, nosey or judging you and itโs definitely not a trick question!
I genuinely NEED to know your budget so I can do my job properly ๐
And hereโs why, with a couple of real-life examples from very recentlyโฆโฌ๏ธ
๐ฐ Tailor-made trip:
A new client wanted a multi-centre tailor made trip with โnice 4โญ๏ธ hotels and as cheap as possible.โ
I spent DAYS putting together different options, working around their requirements and sending 3 quotes.
The response?
โSorry, theyโre more than we were looking to spend.โ ๐คฏ
And I completely understoodโฆ but I still have no idea what their actual budget was! ๐ง
๐ฐ And the most common oneโฆ
โI just want something as cheap as possible.โ
But hereโs the thingโฆ
Cheap means something completely different to everyone! ๐
My idea of a โcheapโ holiday is probably very different to someone who doesnโt spend their days looking at holidays, prices and travel deals! ๐
We ALL have a figure in our head that weโd ideally like to spend and probably a figure we absolutely donโt want to go over ๐ฐ
So please, tell me! ๐
If your budget is ยฃ1,500, ยฃ3,000, ยฃ5,000 or ยฃ10,000โฆ I genuinely donโt care.
There is NO judgement whatsoever โค๏ธ
In fact, knowing your budget means I can spend my time looking at the RIGHT holidays for YOU, rather than wasting your time (and mine!) putting together options that are never going to work.
It also means I can manage your expectations from the very beginning and, where possible, find ways to make your budget work harder ๐ค
So next time I askโฆ
โWhatโs your budget?โ ๐ฐ
Just tell me! ๐
I promise Iโm not judgingโฆ
Iโm just trying to get you on holiday! ๐ฅฐโ๏ธ๐ด
๐ฌ Be honest with your travel agent โ it really does help! โค๏ธ
