“One of the most important steps in building a successful business is identifying your core focus early and developing strong relationships with trade suppliers. Consistent communication and trust are essential for long-term growth. Attending industry events regularly also helps establish credibility, strengthens partnerships and positions you as a recognised and reliable agent.”

“My advice for new homeworking agents is to build a routine and stick to it. It helps you stay focused and motivated. Try to mix with people as much as you can too, whether that’s colleagues or people in shared workspaces, because regular contact boosts wellbeing and morale and even brings unexpected opportunities.”

SAMANTHA


Homeworking experience: 19 months “As travel professionals, we need to become the recognised go-to person in our niche and community. Visibility matters – not just professionally but personally too. If people don’t know you, trust you or relate to you, they can’t book with you. Clients connect with real people, families and stories so I post snapshots of my daily family life on my socials.”

“Don’t be afraid to choose a niche. It doesn’t stop clients booking other holidays with you, but it positions you as the expert in a specific field. People buy from specialists they trust. Having a niche helps you stand out in a crowded market. My own passion lies in the Caribbean – specifically in Jamaica, St Vincent and Saint Lucia.”
