One of the perks of being an Independent Agency in the Avoya Travel Network is the ability to work whenever, wherever, and however you want. And during the summer months, that freedom matters more than ever. Whether you're enjoying a change of scenery at the beach, visiting family out of state, or even sailing on a cruise of your own, Agent Power makes it possible to keep your business running without skipping a beat.
Here are three simple ways to strike that balance between selling travel and soaking up your own summer adventures.
1. Stay Connected from Anywhere
Agent Power, Avoya's proprietary in-house SaaS technology, is designed to move with you. As long as you have a secure Wi-Fi signal, you can access your client profiles, bookings, commission details, quotes, and more, all in one place. Whether you're responding to new lead alerts or finalizing a payment for an existing trip, everything you need is at your fingertips.
Avoya Tip: Bookmark your most-used Agent Power tools on your laptop and phone browsers to make quick work of on-the-go tasks.
2. Set Clear Boundaries for Work
You may decide to fully embrace your vacation and leave your laptop at home! If you’re looking to balance work and vacation, though, setting aside short blocks of time each day to focus on work while you're traveling can help keep your business running smoothly, without cutting into your well-earned downtime. Try reserving a couple of hours in the morning or evening to check in with clients, send quotes, or finalize bookings. With your key tasks handled, you’ll be free to enjoy the rest of the day however you choose.
Avoya Tip: Be sure to communicate your modified work hours with your clients so they know when they can contact you while you’re away. Updating your voicemail or email signature with your modified hours can help keep client expectations clear and professional.
3. Automate What You Can Before You Go
Agent Power makes it easy to pre-schedule emails to clients, manage saved itinerary templates, and quickly access supplier offers. Spend a little time before your trip using these tools to get organized so you can ensure you’re spending less time behind your laptop and more time poolside!
Avoya Tip: Avoya's colleague system allows you to designate another Independent Agent in the Avoya Network as a point of contact while you’re away. For tasks you just can’t automate, consider leaving them in the trusted hands of another advisor so you can keep your business running seamlessly during your vacation.
