Beyond the Booking - slides
Most travel advisors focus on sales, but sales alone do not build a strong business. In this session, Mary Masnari will break down where travel advisors really make money, where profit quietly disappears, and what new advisors should understand early if they want to build a business that is financially stronger from the start. The session will cover commissions, service fees, cash flow, hidden costs, and the practical habits that help advisors keep more of what they earn.
