Jan 25, 2024 | Grow a travel business , Sales

Do you find sales uncomfortable? Or perhaps you struggle with converting leads? Read on to learn our most effective travel agent sales pitch examples and strategies so you can make the entire process easier and FUN!

Sales. It’s a part of being a travel agent that doesn't necessarily get talked about that much, but everybody has to do it, and doing it right – or wrong – can make a huge difference in your career.

For most travel agents – especially those just starting out – the way you learn how to make sales is good old trial and error. You do this, you do that, this works, that doesn’t… It takes a lot of time and energy to make all the mistakes before you start to figure out what works for you.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could skip this process? Wouldn’t it be great to have all the best, most effective sales tips and techniques that are created from years of experience at your fingertips on your first day as a travel agent?

Or if you’ve been a travel agent for six months, or a year, or three years already… Wouldn't it be great to up your sales game and get more confident when it’s time to close the deal?

This is why we’re sharing some valuable insights on successful sales pitches for travel agents. Sales is one of our favorite topics, and we believe it's a superpower that can be harnessed to grow your travel business.

Rather watch than read? Check out the video below!

Take a Consultative Approach to the Sales Pitch

Firstly, we need to shift your mindset around sales and think of it more as a consultative process versus a one-and-done pitch. The goal is to really understand your client's needs so you can match them with the right solution. Good sales strategies involve a supportive approach, active listening, and effective matching.

A Solid Sales Approach for Travel Agents

We’re going to assume that you've already qualified your clients and have confirmed their needs match what you can offer. Now, let’s dive into our favorite key components that will take your sales approach up a notch.

Ditch Sending an Email-Only Quote

One major mistake is only emailing the quote to a new client. This approach allows clients to shop around and might not effectively communicate the value you're providing. Instead, consider an alternative like conducting a video presentation.

This allows you to be ‘face to face’ with your potential client and address any concerns they may have right away.

Pro tip: Run through your proposal once or twice before jumping on your call. This will make you more comfortable so you can deliver with confidence.

Illustrate How You Meet Your Client Needs

During your proposal presentation, make sure you emphasize how you've met specific client needs that were discussed during the consultation call. Whether it's a child with autism needing a kid’s club or a couple wanting sunset views, make sure you call out the requests they’ve made. This shows that you not only listen but also follow through on delivering what they request.

Learn the Art of Mirroring

Mirroring is when you intentionally match the pace and tone of your client's communication. This strategy builds rapport and makes clients more comfortable.

Paint a Vivid Picture

Invite your clients into a story. Instead of a generic presentation, describe the experience with intricate details so they feel like they’re actually experiencing what you describe.

See Objections as Opportunities to Address Concerns

Don't fear objections; see them as opportunities. Prior to your presentation, run through the possible objections that may arise and practice how you will respond. You can also address them proactively while you’re going through the presentation. The goal is to show your commitment to meeting their needs and addressing their concerns.

Find Your Preferred Closing Technique

There are five popular closing techniques that you can test out – assumptive, choice, suggestion, and urgency closes. Explore the components of each one, experiment with using them and determine which one works best for you, and your clients.

Increase Ticket Price Strategically

To maximize revenue, consider adding insurance to every quote. Show clients an option slightly above their budget and include add-ons like rental cars, tours, or concierge services.

Make the Sales Process Easier

If you're looking to enhance your sales skills, consider applying for our Careers on Vacation Mastermind. We cover not only sales but also marketing, automation, and expert positioning to make your travel agency thrive.

Who doesn’t want to make the sales process easier and more fun? Here are four tips for making sales work for you:

Qualify clients effectively.
Adopt a consultative approach.
Consider charging planning fees.
Position yourself as an expert to build trust.

Closing sales is an art, and with the right techniques, you can turn potential opportunities into successful bookings. Remember, it's about creating a win-win situation for both you and your clients. Happy selling!

Getting to a Million: Top Travel Agents Share Tips for Six-Figure Sales

Travel agents say there’s no magic to making it to the million-dollar mark in annual travel sales. Photo: Shutterstock.com

There’s no magic to making it to the million-dollar mark in annual travel sales. It takes focus and training — and the patience to hang in there, often for four or five years, until your hard work starts to really pay off.

When Travel Market Report asked some Facebook friends how long it took them to sell $1 million worth of travel, they offered up some tips and timelines.

Set goals. After three years in business, Janet Noblett got the best birthday present of all this year: She hit the million-dollar mark on May 10, the day before her birthday. “One of my goals for 2019 was to hit $1 million in sales by my birthday,” she said — and she credited that goal with pushing her to make it happen.

“Goal setting is my number-one priority,” Noblett says. “Without goals, you have nothing to strive for. I set goals each month on how many cruises and how many European vacations I want to sell; every month I set new goals that I want to strive for. Sometimes I reach those goals and other months I will not make it — but that's OK.”

Working in a big city like New York pushes up your overhead — but also forces you to set goals and work toward them, says Julie Danziger. “Your market has a lot to do with it. The cost of living in a city like New York is high, so that pushes people to strive for higher production.”

Education is key. After three years part-time, it took Chantelle Nugent just two more years full-time to hit the mark. “I really feel that as soon as I took it seriously and invested in my own education, fams and classes, the business followed,” she says.

Be in it to win it. Heather Bannon earned $500,000 in her first year and a little over $1.5 million in the second. “My biggest tip is to have the confidence to invest in bridal shows and events where you know you can recoup your investment. Then I went on as many fams as possible to grow my product knowledge quickly, focusing on brands and areas I wanted to sell. I am replicating an even more accelerated timeline with my sister who joined our agency just over a year ago.”

Find a mentor. “Find as many mentors and advisors that you admire in the business as possible, befriend them quickly and then ruthlessly milk then for hints, information, best learned lessons, and hacks,” Bannon said. “I’ve been lucky to meet a lot of cool people in this industry and many of them are really willing to help you succeed if you ask!”

Choose your clients rather than vice versa. Sit down and decide how to upgrade your clients, says Linda de Sosa. It takes the same amount of time to sell a cheap cruise as an expensive one.

Mingle where the high rollers go. Where to find top clients? De Sosa is very involved with charity balls — a great way to meet potential clients. She gets donations from vendors and then works hard on the auction committees. And Susan Rutan credits five years of “constant networking within groups that had affluent travel decision makers, planting seeds everywhere I went for more business and referrals, providing above-and-beyond service, investing in education and travel to learn new destinations, adding great associates to my franchise, setting goals and just plain hard work and determination.”

Consider working for someone else first, so you can start a business with a book of travel in hand. Melissa Feenstra started selling travel at a brick-and-mortar agency 15 years ago, so when she launched Feenstra Travel, she already was selling six figures’ worth of travel. Just 18 months later, her annual sales topped $1.3 million. “My average sale is maybe $4,500, but I do get those $60,000 A&K Africa trips and $30,000 Regent cruises from time to time,” she said.

Build a team. Tricia Horick Kelly credits her team of eight ICs with helping her hit $1 million in just three years. “I’m hoping to hire more, but my little agency of eight is mighty and we have a great relationship with each other,” she said. “I try to get everyone together quarterly, and to mentor rather than manage. And I’ve seen everyone’s sales double and then some.”

Charles Russell also credits his support staff with helping him reach his first $1 million in gross sales in just over four years. He used “a mix of destination immersion, business-to-business networking, peer networking, and constantly working to broaden my knowledge and experience. Today, I have five ICs and an admin assistant to keep the process moving forward. I project my business will be crossing into multimillion gross sales within the next 12-18 months, as I continue to see a significant year-over-year growth pattern.”

Estelle Wilkinson also got to $1 million in four years. Two years later, she has six independent contractors helping to build her volume.

Never take your eye off the customer. In addition to the training, the networking and the joining, in the end, success comes down to delivering great customer service. For Limor Decter, the “networking, educating myself on product, watching webinars, attending trade shows around the world, attending fams, and building relationships with suppliers gave me confidence to build a client business where each client gets my prompt personalized service.

“The clients hear my passion, confidence and excitement — and they know that I am accessible from the minute they start their trip planning until they get home. I invested a great deal of my time connecting with my clients so that I am able to design a seamless trip that exceeds their expectation, regardless of budget. I believe your name is your virtue and I strive to maintain a great name on the supplier side and on the client side, since both need to sync in order to succeed.”

Love is what you need. It took Pat Graham and her husband eight years, four part-time and four full-time, to build their product knowledge and put together the group programs that now lead to more than $1 million in sales each year. “Be passionate about travel,” she says. “My husband and I work as a team, each having our specialties. You have to have a good support system and team. You have to put in the time, be available to your clients, never stop learning — and love what you do.”

Sell More Than Vacation Packages

Most travel agents make the mistake of selling vacations as a product. Nothing could be more harmful to your sales!

You should aim to sell vacations as an experience- an experience that your clients want. So instead of pushing readymade packages, find out on what your clients are ready to spend their hard-earned money.

People want to escape their daily routines when they travel. You have to align your products according to their desires. Tell them what a destination offers, the activities he can do, and how the vacation can help him take a break.

Use your imagination and paint vivid pictures of the vacation for your clients. They have to know why the vacation makes sense for them.

Ask Open-Ended Questions

When coming up with itineraries, focus on what the client wants. This is one of the most valuable travel agent tips for success. Asking open-ended questions can help you make out client needs and preferences effectively. You can ask questions like-

What is your idea of a great vacation?
What is the most memorable part of your last trip?
What are you looking forward to on this trip?

The questions will enable you to discover what your clients really want. Then you can make changes to your package, making sure it meets client preferences.

Upsell Like a Pro

Another vital travel agent tips are Upselling or Cross-selling , which is a common way to increase your revenues. But just asking your clients, “do you want an upgrade” doesn’t cut the ice anymore. You have to make it clear what the upgrade comes with.

For instance, if someone has opted for a standard room, ask them, would they like a room with the sunset view? (instead of asking to upgrade to a deluxe room)

If someone has chosen only lodging, ask them would they like to include lunch and dinner featuring local cuisines?

People mostly reject upgrades as they only think about the cost. But if you can clearly show how the upsell/upgrade benefits the client , he might just be ready for it.

Be Passionate

People are excited about traveling. The excitement shows when they are researching destinations, reserving hotels, or just checking out prices. You have to have the same level of passion when you deal with your clients.

Don’t hold your enthusiasm back, and always put on a smile. Make it obvious that you, too, love traveling and really want your clients to have the best time of their lives.

Your enthusiasm will surely translate into more bookings and closed deals.

Join Travel Groups

This technique works for all industries. You join groups on social media on your niche and try to establish yourself as an expert on the subject. That way, people are ready to trust you and even consider your product or services.

You will find ample of travel groups on Facebook and other social media platforms. You can also create accounts on sites like Tripadvisor. Then you should answer questions left by others, provide your honest opinions, and help the group members as much as you can.

Over time, people will directly approach you with queries, which opens up a great opportunity to promote your services. You will also get more business once people recognize you as a thought leader and travel expert.

Don’t Try to Match Prices

Clients sometimes ask if you can match the price on popular booking sites. You may agree and say yes in fear of losing the business, as most of us do.

But the truth is, you don’t have to match prices for every client.

If someone asks for a price match, ask them why they chose the hotel or cruise. If they say it was the cheapest, it’s better to let go of the client. He might not have the right budget or be the right match for your product.

Now, if the client gives specific reasons, note them down! This gives you the perfect opportunity to suggest things your clients consider, even at a higher price!

Go for Niche Markets

You can pick up certain trends in the travel market and go for specific niches. You certainly can’t offer everything and should stick to things you know.

Choosing a niche is not difficult. You just have to aim for something unique. The more unique is your niche, the more business will be headed your way.

You can, for example, focus on organizing trips for older British couples. Or, you may offer hiking in offbeat locations that no one else does. You can also cash in on growing trends like biking trips, destination weddings, or corporate travel- whatever fits your bill!

Spend in Online Advertising

The global online travel market will reach $1,091 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 11.1%.

Unless you target the online audience, your business will not increase.

Consider spending some money on various forms of online advertisements like pay-per-click to attract new customers. You can also invest in social media advertising to build a customer base.

Online advertising can have results beyond expectations. Luxx Vacations spent $1,200 on Facebook ads that brought them 800 customers and $1 million in sales. You can also expect similar results by going online and advertising your business and packages. You will require a sales execution platform and marketing automation to achieve similar results.

Wrapping Up

Travel agents need to align themselves with the evolving travel market to meet customer needs. You can increase your sales and close more business after that following the tips we discussed. Also, consider investing in a reliable travel CRM like LeadSquared to optimize your sales process and close more deals.

Travel Agency Sales Funnel 101: From Leads to Dream Getaways

Last updated November 29, 2023

If you’ve ever heard the term “sales funnel” and thought “Am I the only one who doesn’t really understand what that means?”, don’t worry! You’re not the only one!

That’s why today we’re talking all about your travel agency sales funnel. Think of it as “Sales Funnel 101”. An introductory level course that gives you a great foundation to start building on.

Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I get a small commission if you decide to make a purchase through my links, at no cost to you.

What Is a Travel Agency Sales Funnel?

Let’s start at the beginning. We all know that finding new clients and turning their travel dreams into reality can be both exciting and challenging for a travel agent.

At its core, a travel agency sales funnel is a step-by-step process that takes potential clients from their initial contact with your brand, when they know nothing about your travel agency, to the moment they book their dream vacations.

The marketing funnel is made up of three key stages:

Top of funnel - Attract

This stage focuses on attracting potential leads to your agency. Understanding your target audience and niche markets is essential here.

Content at the top of your marketing funnel is designed to captivate travel leads who match your ideal client as closely as possible. You do that by offering valuable resources like destination guides or exclusive travel tips as lead magnets.

The point of this stage is to get people onto your email list. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a top of funnel activity, as is content marketing . Social media advertising, when you pay to show an Instagram or Facebook ad that people can click through and provide an email address in exchange for a lead magnet, is also top of funnel.

Social media posting, on the other hand, is more focused on engagement, so it falls squarely into the middle of the funnel.

Middle of funnel - Engage

In the middle of the marketing funnel you want to personalize your communication to establish authentic connections with a potential client. This stage is all about nurturing a relationship with a potential customer.

In this stage, you want to make sure to communicate directly and regularly. While social media is a middle of funnel activity, it’s not your most important marketing activity.

Instead, you need to focus on creating fresh, new content, whether its in the form of a blog, video, or email newsletter, and sending it directly to your lead by email. Think one-on-one type communication, but at scale.

This is where an email marketing service provider, like ConvertKit , which is what I use and recommend, comes in. Without an email list, you have no way to communicate directly with your leads, and your business will suffer.

Bottom of funnel - Convert

This is where the money is! A compelling call-to-action (CTA) that tells a potential client exactly what to do next is essential. Without it you won't close the sale.

Be clear about how and where you use your CTAs . A CTA can be either direct (“book now”, “schedule a consultation”) or transitional (“read more”, “learn more”). Both are important, but realize that a direct CTA is intentionally moving someone from on stage of the sales funnel to another.

Place these in places where they are obvious and easy when someone is ready to take the next step, but don’t overuse them. For example, if every social media post on your travel agent account says “let me plan your next trip” but you haven’t moved someone through your sales funnel, they most likely won’t take that step.

Think of it like dating. A transitional CTA is a date, a direct CTA is a marriage proposal. Don’t ask someone to marry you before they know anything about you!

Why Every Travel Agent Needs a Sales Funnel

You may wonder why a sales funnel is essential for marketing your travel agency. Let's break it down:

Consistent Lead Generation: A sales funnel becomes your revenue creating machine, consistently attracting leads interested in your travel agency.

Boost Conversion Rates: A conversion is when a lead becomes a customer. The better your marketing sales funnel, the higher your rate of conversions from curious prospects to enthusiastic travelers.

Elevate Your Marketing Efforts: Travel marketing can be challenging, but a sales funnel provides clarity and direction, helping you focus your efforts on the strategies with the highest impact.

Create Client Loyalty: Happy clients lead to more referrals and repeat bookings, creating a cycle of new business.

Crafting Your Tailor-Made Travel Agency Sales Funnel

Now that we understand why a sales funnel matters, let’s talk about how to build yours.

Step 1: Attract Prospects

Define Your Audience: Identify your ideal clients and create buyer personas to target the right travelers effectively.

Create Enthralling Content: Craft captivating blog posts , engaging social media content, and informative email newsletters to attract potential clients.

Magnetic Lead Magnets: Offer valuable free resources like travel guides, packing lists, or exclusive travel tips to capture leads' contact information.

Step 2: Engage and Nurture Leads

A Personal Touch: Personalize your communication and make sure you understand the unique needs of your audience. For example, address emails to one person (Hi Jane!), not to a group (Hi travel enthusiasts!). After all, most people are reading an email or social media post alone, not as part of a group.

Embrace Automation: Use email workflows to automate follow-ups, nurture campaigns, and personalized offers, saving you time and effort.

Build Trust and Credibility: Establish yourself as a travel expert by sharing valuable travel insights, reviews, and testimonials and success stories from satisfied clients.

Step 3: Convert Leads into Clients

Craft Irresistible Offers: Design exclusive deals, limited-time promotions, and customized travel packages that make clients eager to book.

Smooth the Booking Process: Simplify the booking experience and overall customer journey with a user-friendly interface and seamless payment options. Make it as easy and self-explanatory as possible.

The Power of Persuasion: Create compelling CTAs that evoke emotions and inspire action, compelling clients to take action and book their dream getaways.

Delight and Retain Happy Customers

The journey doesn't end once your clients have booked their trips. Focus on customer delight and loyalty to ensure repeat business and referrals.

Go Beyond the Booking

Post-Booking Pampering: Provide outstanding customer support and follow-ups to address any concerns or special requests.

A Personal Touch: Send personalized messages and greetings on special occasions to show you care beyond the transaction.

Turn Clients into Raving Fans

Client Reviews and Testimonials: Encourage clients to share their travel experiences through reviews and testimonials. Use those reviews and testimonials on your travel agency website and social media accounts to build trust and credibility.

Harness Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Happy clients become your brand ambassadors, spreading the word and bringing in new leads.

Create a Perpetual Cycle

Prioritize Repeat Business: Offer incentives like a discount on planning fees or a referral bonus offer to entice clients to book with your agency again and refer their friends and family.

Build Lasting Relationships: Invest in long-term relationships with clients, ensuring they return to you for all their travel needs.

The bottom line

Creating a powerful travel agency sales funnel leads potential clients from the beginning of their journey to their dream vacation. As you implement a tailor-made sales funnel, watch as your travel business grows and you start finding new clients in unexpected places.

Boosting Sales for Travel Agents: Effective Strategies to Drive Revenue

In today’s highly competitive travel industry, it is essential for travel agents to continually strive to increase sales and revenue. As more people are exploring new destinations, seeking unique experiences, and relying on travel agencies for expert guidance, it becomes crucial for agents to differentiate themselves from the competition and capture a larger market share.

Increased sales not only contribute to the profitability of travel agencies but also indicate their ability to meet customer demands and provide exceptional service. By implementing effective strategies to boost sales, travel agents can not only stay ahead in the competitive landscape but also establish themselves as trusted and preferred providers of travel experiences.

The competitive travel industry is witnessing a surge in the number of players, both traditional agencies and online platforms. With easy access to information and booking options, customers have become more discerning in their choices and demand personalized, unique experiences. Therefore, travel agents must proactively adapt to these changing trends and find innovative ways to increase sales and cater to the evolving needs of their customers.

In the following sections, we will explore some key strategies that travel agents can employ to enhance their sales and thrive in the competitive travel market. By understanding customer preferences, enhancing their online presence, providing exceptional customer service, leveraging customer reviews and referrals, travel agents can effectively increase their sales and build a strong brand presence in the industry.

Understanding Customer Needs and Preferences of Travel Agents

Conducting market research to identify target demographics

To effectively increase sales, travel agents need to understand their target market. Conducting thorough market research helps identify specific demographics and segments that are most likely to be interested in the services offered. This research can involve analyzing customer data, studying industry trends, and conducting surveys or interviews to gather valuable insights. By identifying target demographics, travel agents can tailor their marketing strategies and offerings to meet the specific needs and preferences of their potential customers.

Creating customer personas to tailor offerings

Once target demographics are identified, travel agent can create customer personas. Customer personas are fictional representations of ideal customers based on market research and data analysis. These personas include demographic information, preferences, interests, and travel behaviors. By understanding the motivations and preferences of different customer segments, travel agents can tailor their offerings, messaging, and marketing efforts to resonate with their target audience. This personalized approach increases the chances of attracting and converting potential customers into bookings.

Emphasizing personalized experiences

In the travel industry, customers are seeking unique and personalized experiences. To increase sales, travel agents should focus on providing customized offerings that cater to individual preferences and interests. This can include offering personalized itineraries, recommending specific activities or attractions based on customer preferences, and providing tailored recommendations for accommodations, dining, and transportation. By highlighting the value of personalized experiences, travel agents can differentiate themselves from competitors and attract customers who are seeking memorable and tailored travel experiences.

Enhancing Online Presence

Utilizing social media platforms for promotion:

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter offer immense opportunities for travel agents to promote their services and engage with their target audience. By establishing a strong presence on these platforms, travel agents can reach a wider audience and build brand awareness. They can share captivating visuals of destinations, create engaging travel-related content, and provide travel tips and insights. Sharing exclusive offers and deals on social media can also entice potential customers to choose the travel agent’s services. Engaging with followers through comments, likes, and shares helps build relationships and establish trust.

Encouraging Customer Reviews

Requesting feedback and reviews from satisfied customers:

Travel agents should proactively seek feedback from their customers after a trip or service has been provided. By requesting reviews, travel agents can gather valuable insights about their performance and identify areas for improvement. Satisfied customers can be encouraged to leave positive reviews, testimonials, or ratings on platforms. These positive reviews serve as social proof and help build trust among potential customers.

In the dynamic and competitive travel industry, travel agents must employ effective strategies to increase their sales and stay ahead of the competition. By recapitulating the discussed strategies, travel agents can enhance their chances of success. Understanding customer needs and preferences is crucial, and travel agents can achieve this by conducting market research to identify their target demographics. Creating customer personas allows them to tailor their offerings to meet the specific preferences and interests of their potential customers, thereby increasing the likelihood of bookings.

Elevator Pitch Examples: A Travel Agent Approach

Looking for some elevator pitch examples for travel agents? We've got 'em. 🙂

Half (if not more) of working as a travel agent is sales. Every agent knows the importance of customer service––going the extra mile and booking a flawless trip so first-time clients become lifetime clients. But generating sales can be a great pain point for some agents, and it’s not likely your love of sales is what attracted you to the industry. (Who am I to say?) But how do you set yourself apart from other agents in the ever-growing travel industry?

If you’re a travel agent, chances are you’ve heard that you are your brand. That you need to sell yourself as much as (if not more than) you need to sell your product. And today we’re going to chat about what is popularly known as “the elevator pitch,” but what I prefer to refer to as “introducing yourself in an interesting way.”

Tick tock. Let’s not waste time, shall we?

The Elevator Pitch.

You Are a Special Snowflake. Yes, You. Before you shout out to the world about your awesome travel agent skills, take a moment to think about what your personal story is. When you’re selling travel, you have to sell yourself first. Gross right? But it really doesn’t have to be. Just because you’re “selling yourself” doesn’t mean you have to pretend to be someone else.

Coming up with your own elevator pitch examples (a 45-second spiel about who you are and what you do) can sound really intimidating. If you’re an introvert like me, this is extra helpful because the talking points will help you feel confident in introducing yourself to others.

But equally important to tell people what you do is to express your passion for the industry in a genuine way. For example, the HAR team expresses their passion very differently from one another, and that’s okay. For your reference:

Bitmojis aside, what I’m talking about here is not your average sales pitch. We all know that in the travel industry, you must first make a personal impression before you can zoom in for the sale. So rather than trying to pitch a product, what I’m talking about here is pitching YOURSELF as a travel professional.

It will be the hook to make the supplier and client want to know what you have to offer. So let’s get going.

Elevator Pitch Examples from Real Travel Agents

Step 1: getting personal.

When people open their mouths and spew out brilliance, it seems easy and effortless, but the truth is it takes work and crafting. Likely it seems effortless because they’ve done it a bazillion times and put some thought into it.

If you do put thought into “pitching yourself,” then you will make a more memorable impression and when you follow up by handing them your business card, they’ll be more likely to remember you. So let’s look at some elevator pitch examples:

First, let’s get personal:

What is my personal connection to travel/ the travel industry? i.e. I work for my family-owned host agency that was established in 1974.
Why do I love travel? i.e. I saved up all my babysitting money for four years to travel to Italy with my grandparents, and I’ve been in love with culturally immersive travel ever since.
What do I love about selling travel? i.e. Putting together a great FIT is like a logic puzzle for me, and I love the challenge of customizing flawless vacations for clients.
What formative experience(s) impacted my decision to become a travel agent? i.e. Quite honestly, I had a horrible travel experience with an agent that did not qualify us for a trip, and I ended up being the one to fill in the potholes. I ended up having a ton of fun and wanted to bring that level of service and integrity to the industry.
What’s my favorite thing about working with my clients? i.e. I absolutely love to see my client’s reactions after their trips! When they come back looking ten years younger, I know I did a good job.
What kind of travel experience do I want them to have? i.e. I want my clients to discover something about themselves they didn’t know before they traveled!
What is something that makes me unique as a person? I want to elaborate on this one because in my discussions with agents there are memorable details that come to mind:
Nikki Miller from Travel with Nikki told me she had visited Disney World more times than years she’s been alive. Whoa.
Lori Zeller of Travel Leaders, Apple Valley once mentioned to me that her goal was to visit every MN state park in one year, and I thought that was really cool (especially since, at the time, she was beginning to expand her niche to include more adventure travel).
Ron Hashman of Harshman Travel mentioned to me he works directly with an executive of a cruise line after he once introduced himself to her at a conference. Did I believe him when he told me he received a good rate for his clients for one of their cruise itineraries? You bet.

My favorite things about these elevator pitch examples (which are just a few that come to mind) are that the agents weren’t trying to sell me anything. Heck, they weren’t even trying to impress me. They were just being themselves.

So what is unique about you? I just came back from Cruise360 and maybe you’re an agent that has videos of suites from more than 20 different ships (I know some of you do!) Think of a fun fact or detail about yourself that you can put forward.

Step 2: Just the Facts

Then you’ll want to mix those intangibles with a piece of concrete data. Here are a few elevator pitch examples to get you going:

How many years of experience do you have selling travel? i.e. 15 (Are you a newbie and worried about it? Just tell them you have 1 year of experience going on 15 😉).
What is your niche/ travel interest? i.e Adaptive adventure travel with an emphasis on Southeast Asia.
What certification/training do you have? i.e. I have my ECC through CLIA. I’m a South Africa specialist.
What’s one piece of data you can give on clients/ client satisfaction? i.e. 90% of my clients are first-time travelers, and 95% of those clients say they will travel again. (Psst! Are you wondering how you can track something like this? Check out our "Vacation in Review" form here! )
What huge obstacle have you helped a client overcome? No joke, sometimes when a travel agent goes the extra mile, they can save a life . Hopefully, your services won’t need to extend that far but think of one way you’ve really helped a client through a major issue, whether it be rebooking, offering them extra perks, or helping them out with a Visa/Passport bind.

Step 3: Shorter is Sweeter

Now of course, after you brainstorm on these questions, you won’t be able to fit them all into your talking points. But you can mix and match from the brainstorming you did above! Which details do you think are the most engaging? You’ll want to boil this down into about three sentences:

Who you are, what you do. i.e. I’m a CLIA ECC certified travel agent, with fifteen years of experience selling river cruises.
What makes you unique as an agent: i.e I was inspired to sell river cruises when my spouse and I renewed our vows on an Avalon Cruise in the Danube, and my goal is to pass along the impact of those memories to my clients.
Engage them with a question. What is one of your most memorable travel experiences?

Now that wasn’t so scary, was it? Just practice in front of a mirror. And don’t be afraid to brag about yourself a little. You worked hard and you earned it, okay? Be proud!

Step 4: Putting it All Together

Now just mash those sentences together into something that sounds cohesive (usually it will work just to string them together).

Practice it with your friends, or your dog, or at your own face in front of the mirror a bunch of times. Can you get through it in about 45 seconds? Does it need to be shorter? A little longer? Try out a few of your elevator pitch examples on your friends and see which one they like best.

This is Good Info, Can I Do Anything Else with it?

Why yes you can. After spending all that time researching elevator pitch examples, you need to use it to the utmost! You have great info in your elevator pitch so you might as well get as much mileage from it as you can, so here are a few ideas of other ways you can use this info:

Have it at the ready when someone on FB inquires for a travel agent. Yes, this happens sometimes! When someone in a group or FB page asks a group of agents if they know a good agent, well that agent is YOU. Don’t say just say, call me. Say, I’m a Disney-certified specialist who’s been to WDW 36 times. I’d love to touch base and help you with your trip! The more specific you are, the more you will set yourself apart.
Include some of it in your bio on your website and social media pages: Is your “about us” description in need of a little spruce up? If you have to wonder, chances are it is. This is a great way to infuse some of your personality, individuality and voice into what might be an otherwise dry description.
You use the info in a Onesheet for a booth at a trade show , or to leave with a donation if your agency is involved with a local charity event. This provides a little more info than your business card can (but of course you can leave those too!).
Include the information in your email signature!

A Handy Dandy Worksheet!

Well, as you may know, sometimes we like to give homework here at HAR (don't worry, all of it is extra credit, and none of it is graded)! Now that you've digested all that info above, here's a nifty downloadable worksheet you can use to walk you through writing your own pitch!

When you’re ready to debut your elevator introduction to the world, don’t forget to bring your business cards with you! In fact, if you have a few words from your intro on your card, that will make the other person’s association with you even more memorable!

Again, this isn’t a conventional sales pitch kind of deal. It’s really just to make a memorable first impression so you can make great connections, pique the interest of others, and (if you’re chatting with a client) move in for a potential sale later.

This is even more important for independent travel agency owners since you are so integral to your brand!

Don’t be shy! Try it out! Write it in the comments below and let us know how it went! Drop us a line (email below) and try out your elevator pitch examples on me! I can’t wait to hear them!

10 Strategies For Travel Businesses To Boost Tour Sales Performance

Sales & Bookings

Every travel company wants to maximize tour sales. Even more so now, where the travel industry has seen a great deal of change and quiet time: finding ways to boost sales performance is critical.

With a tactical approach, it’s possible to set your business up to reach more of your ideal clients. Now more than ever, paying careful attention to the finer details is going to be a priority.

Below, we’ve listed some of the best strategies to help your travel business stand out, get more leads, and drive revenue.

Strategies To Boost Tour Sales Performance

1. point out the unique benefits of your tour.

One of the essential strategies to increase tour sales is to highlight the benefits of the tour clearly. Instead of listing the tour features, paint a picture to show travelers what they can expect to see, feel, and get from the experience.

A good tactic to help achieve this is to include positive reviews and testimonials from existing clients. Happy clients are your biggest advocates. Usually, they are more than willing to write a positive testimonial for your tour.

2. Add A Little Extra Enticement

To really highlight the benefits of your trip, offer extra snippets of information that clients might not typically expect to see in a tour description.

For example, they may not be thinking about where the best places to eat in Tuscany are at this stage of the funnel. But, give them a compelling glimpse of what to expect (al-fresco, organic dining in a grape vineyard overlooking the rolling hills), and this can act to entice their curiosity.

The result--a tour inquiry that can lead to a booking!

3. Find Your Niche In The Industry

To sell more tours, you need to understand your customers. The tourism industry is vast, so it's essential to really get into a niche. This will help you establish a more specific target audience and market your tour to the right people.

Carve out your corner and create a unique product for your business. Your goal should be to sell something that other tour operators aren't selling. Or to find a different angle to your competitors on the product that you sell.

So, find what makes your business unique, shout it to the rooftops, and explain the benefits to your clients. This will help you to really distance your business from competitors.

4. Ask For Client Referrals

Referrals help extend your network and reach, allowing your tours to become more visible to more potential customers. If you can get your clients to refer your tour to their circles, you will get access to a whole new market.

You can simply ask your existing biggest fans for referrals. Another tactic is to incentivize referrals through promotions. For example, you could run a tour giveaway that offers a bonus entry to each referral. This will soon help you to reach a larger audience.

5. Establish Strategic Relationships

If you want to boost tour sales, try selling across several different channels. A great tactic is to establish strategic relationships with vendors, partners, and agents who can market and sell your trips to their clients.

You can establish these types of relationships with local DMOs, tourism boards, local business partners in your community, travel agents, OTAs , etc.

6. Use Technology For Bookings

Offering online bookings is a great way to boost tour sales without much effort. In fact, by not offering online bookings, you are potentially losing out on a great number of sales. People rely on technology more and more every day; self-service transacting and processing reservations online go part and parcel to this!

Importantly, give your clients a streamlined and straightforward online booking using a variety of payment options. WeTravel’s payment and booking management platform is great for this. It is designed especially for travel companies, multi-day, group, and international tour operators, giving them excellent payment processing abilities, beautiful booking pages, and streamlined booking management.

7. Make The Most Of Social Media

Every travel business needs to have a clear content marketing strategy, which includes your social channels. Social media is full of opportunities to promote your tours and increase your sales. Plus, it is where many of your potential clients hang out online.

Engage with people on social media, target the right audience, and post engaging content to reel them and get a conversation going. You never know; it may well lead to making a sale.

You should also encourage social proof. Try to get people posting about the experiences you offer, and make sure to share their posts. User-generated content on social media can help you gain exposure and get more people excited about your offering.

8. Use Online Marketplaces

There are plenty of websites and online marketplaces that sell tours. Loads of people check these to see what activities are on offer in the place they are visiting. So, it can be a good idea to list your products on these platforms. The trick is to find a balance with your direct bookings and not rely too heavily on OTAs that charge hefty commissions.

9. Encourage Customers to Leave Reviews

A significant factor that influences tour sales is trust. Your tour needs to excite customers, but they also need to trust your business before they go ahead with making a booking. Positive reviews and feedback are essential for this.

After your clients finish up your trips, encourage them to leave a review on your preferred platforms . The more positive mentions you have, the greater the number of new clients you can attract.

10. Upsell Other Tour Products

It’s a good idea to boost tour sales by upselling to existing customers . Instead of leaving a booking as it is, see whether there is an opportunity to add other beneficial upsells. This could include things like a room upgrade or add-on activity for your participants.

This strategy works well because you sell to people who already trust your business and want to support it.

Final Thoughts

You can have a great tour to offer, but you still need to sell it . The major challenge for many businesses in the industry is to stand out from their competitors. We hope the ideas above have given you some inspiration to try out.

Firstly, know the difference!

Finding and keeping customers isn’t easy. quality products, cheap prices and fast delivery are all important, but for businesses that deal directly with customers, softer skills and more human attributes are just as vital. .

In fact, 73% of consumers say that friendly service can make them fall in love with a brand and 86% are willing to pay up to 25% more for a better customer experience*.

There are many soft sales skills that can help any travel expert provide a better customer experience, but here are the Bedsonline top 6:

1 - BE A GREAT COMMUNICATOR

Whether on the phone, via email or face-to-face, communication skills are by far the number 1 asset that all travel agents should have . Speaking in plain language and asking the right questions will put your customers at ease and create space for a genuine dialogue.

This is where listening comes in! Being good at communicating also means being able to stop and listen, taking on board what your customers are saying and making eye contact with them – all of which helps you to build a good rapport right from the very beginning. Great communication skills have a direct impact on your expertise, read how you can expand and refine your expertise in 12 easy ways .

2- PUT YOURSELF IN THEIR SHOES

The more you listen to your customers, the more you can empathize with their likes, dislikes, concerns, needs, etc. This empathy can only come when you are also a great communicator and have the skill of “listening with intent”, i.e. not just hearing what they are saying but understanding and really putting yourself in their situation. This empathy will prove to your customers that you aren’t a typical salesperson only looking at the price tag, you actually have their best interests at heart.

3 - GET ORGANIZED

There are many simple things that can save time and effort further down the line. Sometimes it can be tough to remember all the things you have to do in one day, so start by writing a to-do list every morning and try to stick to it . Don’t be afraid to use the old pen and paper, as the act of writing things down helps your brain to memorize the list (plus it’s always nice to cross things off once they’re done!) Another way to be more organized is to have a really clear idea of the products, offers and destinations that might be of interest to your customers . Not only does this help you to answer any questions straight away, it also helps back up your image as the real travel expert!

4 - STAY HUMBLE

If you are wrong, admit it. If you are right, stay quiet. There’s nothing worse than a smug salesperson to put anyone off wanting to buy. If you are asked a question and you don’t know the answer, be honest and do your best to find the answer . Don’t try winging it on the spot as you will appear false and unprofessional.

5 - PLENTY OF RIGOR…AND PATIENCE!

If you say you are going to do something, you simply HAVE to do it. How many times has somebody promised you that they will get back to you with something and they never do? Surely it doesn’t fill you with confidence about that person!

And patience is a skill that is so often overlooked in any profession, but especially so in sales. If a customer doesn’t give you an answer straight away, and has no more questions to ask, then let them go off and think. Send timely reminders but don’t overload them with calls and emails . A pushy salesperson won’t be tolerated by the majority of people.

6- AND FINALLY…DEVELOP A WORLD VIEW

If you really love travel, then you’ll know that travel today is much more than a well-crafted itinerary. Go beyond the obvious attractions in a destination and read a little bit about its history, present-day modernity, culture and even its newsmakers.

Never forget your biggest competition is online! Meet them on their turf by being on top of the latest online trends and stay updated with all the current travel business news and the impact on booking patterns, flights, currencies, etc. You can do this by signing up for newsletters, subscribing to social media platforms and attending networking events.

You’ll soon find yourself developing a world view that will complement your travel expertise, boost your confidence and help you respond even more effectively to clients!

MLM Travel Companies: Unveiling Top Picks and Their Operations

Multi-level marketing (MLM) travel companies are businesses that operate within the travel industry using a specific marketing and distribution model.

These companies rely on individual representatives, or travel agents, to sell travel packages, accommodations, and other related services directly to consumers.

MLM travel companies offer their agents the opportunity to earn commissions not only on their own sales, but also on the sales made by the representatives they recruit into the organization, creating a multi-tiered structure of income potential.

In this article, we will look at every aspect of the world of MLM travel companies. Let’s get started!

Key takeaways.

MLM travel companies rely on individual representatives to sell travel packages and services directly to consumers
These companies offer training, exclusive travel discounts, and incentives for reaching sales milestones.
Success in MLM travel companies requires dedication, network-building, and a passion for travel

What Are MLM Travel Companies?

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) is a business model where companies sell their products or services through person-to-person sales.

As an independent distributor, you are selling directly to other people, which may be done through various channels, such as from your home, a customer’s home, or online.

The structure of the compensation plan in MLMs allows you to earn income not only from your own sales but also from the sales of those you recruit into the business, creating a network or downline of distributors.

Travel Industry and MLM

In the context of the travel industry, MLM companies operate by offering travel-related products and services, such as booking accommodations, flights, cruises, or vacation packages.

As a distributor for an MLM travel company, your primary responsibility is to promote and sell these travel services to your network and recruit new members to join the business.

By building a downline of other distributors and customers, you can earn commissions on their sales and bookings, in addition to your own.

As you explore opportunities in the MLM travel industry, it’s important to carefully evaluate each company and choose one with a solid reputation, competitive pricing, and sufficient support for their distributors.

Some of the best MLM travel companies have a track record of success, offer extensive training resources, and provide access to exclusive travel discounts and benefits for their members.

How MLM Travel Companies Work

Let’s take a closer look at the recruitment process, commission structure, and travel rewards system.

Recruitment Process

In MLM travel companies, you join as an independent distributor, participant, or contractor. Your primary task is to recruit new members into the network. The more people you recruit, the more your network, or “downline,” grows.

It’s essential to understand that your success in an MLM travel company depends on your ability to build and manage your downline effectively.

Commission Structure

The commission structure in MLM travel companies is typically based on two ways of earning money:

Direct sales : You can earn commissions by selling travel products or services directly to retail customers who are not involved in the MLM. This can include selling travel packages, memberships, or discounts.
Recruitment commissions : You can also earn money by recruiting new distributors and receiving commissions based on their purchases and sales to retail customers. This means that as your downline grows, your potential for earning commissions increases, based on your recruits’ performance.

Remember that the actual commission rates and payment structure may vary from one MLM travel company to another.

Travel Discounts and Rewards

As a participant in an MLM travel company, you may have access to special discounts and rewards on travel service s like flights, hotels, and vacations. These discounts can be used for personal travel or can be offered to customers through your booking portal.

Additionally, some MLM travel companies offer incentives for reaching specific recruitment or sales milestones , such as free trips, upgraded memberships, or bonuses. These benefits and rewards are designed to motivate and reward distributors for their hard work and dedication to the MLM travel company.

Remember to thoroughly research prospective MLM travel companies to ensure they are reputable and well-established before joining. It’s essential to understand the ins and outs of the business model and weigh any potential benefits against the potential risks and downsides.

Best MLM Travel Companies

Among the best network marketing companies in the world , what are the top MLM travel companies?

These companies have established reputations in the industry and offer various opportunities for people looking to join travel-related MLMs.

Here are our picks.

InteleTravel

InteleTravel has been in the business for over 25 years, making it one of the more experienced and established travel MLM companies.

As an InteleTravel agent, your main responsibility is to promote and sell travel packages, which can range from cruises to all-inclusive vacations.

InteleTravel also offers an extensive training program for its agents, which covers topics such as marketing, product knowledge, and customer satisfaction. This training can be valuable in helping you establish a successful MLM career with them.

Here you can find their website .

PlanNet Marketing

PlanNet Marketing is an MLM company that partners with InteleTravel. Their primary focus is to recruit new representatives and help them build teams of travel agents.

As a PlanNet Marketing representative, your earnings are based on a commission structure that rewards both personal sales and team sales. By combining your efforts with InteleTravel, you can create a varied income stream from selling travel packages and building your team of agents.

Evolution Travel

Evolution Travel is another option for those looking to join the travel MLM industry. Their main product is the membership, and to become a travel agent, one must purchase a Professional Travel Agent (PTA) package.

The upfront cost is $30, with a retail price of $299. As an Evolution Travel agent, you can earn rewards and commissions, gain access to training materials, and enjoy discounted travel opportunities for yourself.

WorldVentures (closed)

WorldVentures was a well-known travel-based MLM company. Founded in 2005 by Wayne Nugent and Mike Aczue, it has a strong focus on travelers in Southeast Asia, collaborating with a variety of hotels and homesteads that may not be found on mainstream sites.

The company has been closed and the business will probably not be continued in the future.

As a WorldVentures representative, you had the opportunity to sell travel packages, earn bonuses, and even enjoy discounted trips for yourself.

NOTE – Keep in mind that, as with any MLM opportunity, it’s crucial to research the company, understand their compensation plan, and evaluate the potential for success before making a decision to join. This will help you make an informed decision and set yourself up for the best possible experience in the MLM travel industry.

Pros and Cons of Joining MLM Travel Companies

Let’s now delve into the advantages and disadvantages of these companies with reference to earnings, work flexibility, and challenges to overcome in the MLM world.

Potential Earnings

Joining an MLM travel company can offer you an opportunity to earn potential income by selling travel-related products and services.

Your earnings directly depend on your performance in selling, as well as your ability to recruit and manage a team of other sellers. However, this potential income may not be substantial, as most MLM participants struggle to make a significant profit.

Flexibility and Entrepreneurship

One of the advantages of joining an MLM travel company is the flexibility it offers. You can work when you want, where you want.

This allows you to maintain a work-life balance and take charge of your schedule. Moreover, you have the chance to explore your entrepreneurial spirit by building your own network of travel sellers and guiding them toward success.

Challenges and Controversies

There are numerous challenges and controversies associated with MLM travel companies. Joining an MLM may seem like an attractive way to make money while traveling, but it’s essential to be aware of the potential downsides:

Lack of Support and Resources : Unlike traditional travel agencies, MLMs often focus on gaining members rather than providing you with the necessary support and resources to sell travel effectively.
Reputation in the Travel Industry : Many travel professionals do not view MLMs positively, which may hinder your success in establishing credibility and building a strong network.
Expenses : To succeed in an MLM, you may need to spend money on various costs such as meals, fuel, hotel accommodations, and more. These costs can add up and negatively impact your earnings.
Difficulty in Sales : Achieving consistent sales success in an MLM can be challenging, especially with travel products, as the emphasis is often on recruitment rather than product quality or value.

Keep these pros and cons in mind when considering joining an MLM travel company, and always conduct thorough research before making a decision.

Alternatives to MLM Travel Companies

So? What are the alternatives for earning in the travel industry for those who do not trust network marketing?

1. Traditional Travel Agencies

Traditional travel agencies still play an important role in the travel industry. Unlike MLM travel companies, they don’t require you to recruit others or sell products to friends and family.

As a travel agent in a traditional agency, you can use your knowledge and skills to help clients plan their perfect trips, providing personalized recommendations and handling all the travel arrangements.

You’ll earn a commission from travel suppliers based on the bookings you make, and your success will depend on your customer service skills and ability to build a loyal client base.

2. Online Travel Platforms

Online travel platforms can be a convenient option for those who prefer to manage their own travel bookings, while still offering a commission-based opportunity for those looking to work in the travel industry.

Websites like Expedia, Booking.com, and Airbnb provide complete control over searching, comparing, and booking flights, accommodations, car rentals, and experiences.

As an affiliate partner of online travel platforms, you can earn commissions for driving traffic and sales to their website. This can be done through blogging, social media, or creating your own travel booking site that leverages their technology.

Becoming an affiliate partner of online travel platforms typically doesn’t require any upfront investment or the need to join a complex network of recruiters and downlines.

You can focus on promoting travel bookings and engaging with your audience, without the pitfalls of MLM business models.

In understanding MLM travel companies, it’s crucial to know what they are and how they function. These companies use a multi-level marketing model to offer you travel-related products and services while providing an opportunity to earn income.

By becoming a part of their network, you can generate revenue through commissions, bonuses, and incentives based on your sales and the sales of those you recruit underneath you.

When choosing the best MLM travel company for you, it’s essential to research their credibility and track record.

Companies like iBuumerang and XStream Travel are other examples of reputable businesses that have generated interest in the MLM travel industry. However, keep in mind that not all MLM travel companies are equal, and there may be mixed success stories across the board.

As you consider joining an MLM travel company, be aware of the potential risks and challenges you might face, such as unrealistic income expectations or the possibility of joining an illegal pyramid scheme .

What are the top MLM travel companies?

There are several MLM travel companies out there, and it’s essential to choose the right one for you. Some of the top MLM travel companies include Evolution Travel, InteleTravel, and PlanNet Marketing. Research their history, success rate, and the income potential they offer before deciding which one suits your needs best.

How do MLM travel companies operate?

MLM travel companies work by recruiting independent distributors or agents who earn commissions on travel bookings and product sales. In addition to earning from their sales, agents can also receive compensation from the sales and recruitment of their downline. This multi-level structure is what allows for potential income growth as your network expands. Remember to evaluate the company’s business model and compensation plan thoroughly.

Can you do business with non-MLM travel agencies?

Yes, you can do business with many non-MLM travel agencies in the industry. These agencies typically focus on providing curated travel experiences and personalized services to clients, without the need for a network of independent distributors. If you prefer dealing with customers directly and have a passion for travel planning, working for a traditional travel agency might be a better fit for you.

What is the income potential for MLM travel agents?

Radiators fail once more: Moscow suburbs residents appeal to Putin

R esidents across the Moscow suburbs are besieged by a heating problem, for which they plead direct intervention from President Vladimir Putin. These individuals have yet to experience any semblance of home heating since winter started due to a dwindling supply of heating oil. The issue, one largely avoided by local authority communication, has left residents desperate to the point of directly appealing to the president.

While plots have been uncovered to disrupt Ukraine's infrastructure for a second consecutive winter, thus depriving civilians of heating, it seems Russians are now mired in their crisis. Irony drips from the fact that those under Putin's leadership are looking to cause turmoil in Ukraine, yet at home, they face a similar predicament.

Many dwellings within the Moscow agglomeration are presently without heat. The capital's residents are desperate, directly appealing to President Putin due to a perceived lack of alternate avenues for assistance. The absence of suitable heating functionality since winter commenced pushes them towards desperation with no relief in sight.

This seems improbable, but in Russia, it appears that anything can happen.

It remains uncertain if Vladimir Putin is actively addressing the heating crisis. Some experts suggest that Russia's heating oil reserves are depleting, which negatively affects residents' quality of life. Plagued by cold radiators and plummeting winter temperatures, these citizens have directly addressed their pleas to their head of state.

This heating crisis is happening in Elektrostal, a town approximately 71 miles from Moscow.

Ironically, Russia has constantly aimed to destroy the Ukrainian infrastructure since war broke out, deliberately trying to leave Ukrainians without heating during the harsh winters, aiming to break their strong will. It's an irony they now struggle with a domestic heating crisis, particularly near Moscow, their largest and most pivotal city.

Desperate individuals are reaching out to Vladimir Putin. They question his knowledge of the heating infrastructure conditions in the Moscow suburbs and the dire situations residents face there. Sundown brings no relief from the harsh Russian winter and without heating, their houses turn cold. With elections nearing, more and more residents find themselves reaching out directly to their president.

"Since winter's start, we've been without heating. This has been a yearly occurrence for the past three years. Despite paying for heating, we don't have enough. We implore you, help us!" - these are the desperate pleas from the heavily dressed populace dealing with the Russian winter conditions.

Experts attribute the heating oil shortage to international sanctions and surging demands for diesel fuel, pivotal to military operations. Russia now grapples with a dearth of raw materials essential for boiler and heating plant operation. As supplies dwindle, houses grow cold with little hope of any immediate corrective intervention.

It would be adequate if the war ceased, residents were prioritized, and attention accorded to their welfare.
