Host Agency vs. Travel Franchise: Part VI

What comes to mind when you think of a ‘juggler’? Is it an enthusiastic street performer tossing balls or rings into the air, from hand to hand at a mesmerizing rhythm? Or is it an everyday person, managing multiple tasks and processes?

Small business owners often find themselves acting as a juggler every day. When you’re too busy handling multiple things at once, you can miss out on valuable opportunities.

That’s why it’s vital to maximize efficiency within your business, which in turn can help save you time and money. And when your business is operating efficiently, it gives you more time to focus on building relationships with your clients, close more bookings and increase sales.

Continuing our series on what to consider when choosing the right travel network for you (you can view the latest factors covered here), let’s take a closer look at another important factor: technology.

With today’s innovative tech platforms and resources, there’s no need to be a juggler (unless you want to toss some rings for fun, which if you do, we’d love to watch!). From organization to running the back end of your business to helping you find the best deals for your clients, technology can be an independent travel professional’s best friend.

This is where choosing a travel network that offers you the best innovative technology is important. You’ll want to make sure that the technology you’re gaining access to is helping your business see greater success than ever before.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Most travel networks feature back office tools to help you stay organized and efficient, but these can vary from network to network. Be sure to ask your prospective network for all the details about their tech offerings to ensure that it meets your business' needs.
