5 Ways to Boost Your Inquiries and Bookings This Month 📈
Last week inside our Travel Agent Collective Facebook group, we hosted a series of power-packed lives designed to help you sharpen your sales skills and see a boost in inquiries and bookings. If you missed it, no worries, we’ve got you covered. Here’s your quick recap of the five strategies we covered (and how to put them into action right away):
1. Sell Smarter on Social
From Selling on Social 101
Social media isn’t about pushing promotions, but about creating conversations. Start by sharing stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and client transformations. Show up consistently, engage with comments, and focus on connection over sales. The more authentic you are, the more trust (and inquiries) you’ll generate.
2. Leverage AI in Your Marketing

Content creation doesn’t have to be a time suck. Use AI tools like ChatGPT to help brainstorm captions, polish email copy, or map out content calendars. The key is to treat AI like your assistant and let it do the heavy lifting so you can focus on serving clients and booking trips.
3. Tap Into Untapped Bookings

Chances are, you’re leaving money on the table. Untapped bookings often come from overlooked opportunities like past clients, group travel, or niche audiences. Start by revisiting old inquiries or offering a special incentive to previous travelers. It’s much easier to re-engage warm leads than to start from scratch.
4. Rethink Your Sales Calls
From Sales Call Strategy Overhaul with Shannon DSouza
If your consult calls aren’t converting, it’s time for a reset. Swap the script for a strategy: focus on listening, asking the right questions, and positioning yourself as the solution. A strong consult should feel like a collaboration, not a pitch. When clients feel heard, they’re far more likely to book.
5. Amplify Your Authority
From Amplify Your Authority
Inquiries flow more easily when you’re seen as the go-to expert. Build authority by showing up consistently with helpful content, sharing your expertise publicly, and positioning yourself as a resource. The more you demonstrate authority, the more confident potential clients will feel about booking with you.
The Bottom Line
Boosting inquiries and bookings doesn’t require reinventing the wheel. It’s about showing up strategically on social, leveraging tools, re-engaging untapped opportunities, fine-tuning your consult calls, and stepping fully into your authority.
