If you want an inquiry filled Q1 and Wave Season, you need to start generating leads RIGHT NOW because the business you have three to six months from now is a direct result of what you're doing today. 

I'm breaking down creative ideas on where to find premium clients who actually value your time and services, from networking at fall festivals and charity events to creating your own speaking opportunities and client appreciation events. 

We're also talking about why you need to drop the budget travelers and DIY-ers, how to leverage LinkedIn when your time is limited, and the importance of re-engaging your existing client list before the holidays hit. 

Plus, I'm sharing some vending opportunities, partnership ideas with local businesses, and how to get visible in your community so people actually know your travel business exists. 

The time to plant these seeds is NOW, not when Wave Season is already here and you're wondering why your calendar is empty.
