Ladies, we all know what coming in a few weeks, right? Guys, think hearts, chocolates, and overpriced but oh so necessary flowers a/k/a Valentine’s Day. Consider creating a really special valentine, a romantic getaway!
In the January/February issue of PRIME Magazine KC, I wrote an article about romantic getaways. It’s on page 46—-just in case you want to read on…
We don’t even consider ourselves “agents”. Agents are order-takers; Advisors collaborate with you to create a seamless, enjoyable life experience, which is our definition of a great vacation! We are very well-traveled, full-time professionals and we have connections all over this world (and now, thanks to Sir Richard Branson, in Space, too!) that help you savor those precious moments, your discretionary time.
I just read what I wrote and now will cut through the flowery, multi-syllabic words. Here’s the skinny:
We travel all over the world A LOT, so we’re knowledgeable. We have connections that afford you value when you travel (think “insider tips” , upgrades, and value-added amenities). We’re organized so you don’t have to stress over the details. AND, we are here for you! You aren’t talking to a call center employee (if you can actually talk to a someone “Live”). We monitor your vacation before, during and after. If you need our assistance, we are just a phone call away. Missed a flight? Want to extend your vacation? Need a reccomendation for a walking tour of Paris? We are here to help.
Enough from me. Please watch this interview by Ann Curry, TODAY SHOW host, of our friend and CEO of Virtuoso, Matthew Upchurch:
