Step 2: MAstering Your Workflow

Keep track of important dates

Dining booking windows, cruise excursions, final payments — this is all part of your responsibility! 

Fortunately...

And Please Remember!

This is what you came here to do! Planning trips, acting on deals, and crafting a perfect trip for your clients. This is the time to build your system and refine your process. 

When you are given a Canva or Google resource, make sure to copy the original file before making any edits. 

So You Booked the Trip... What Next?!

Agent Process

Quick and positive communication secures the job and keeps them coming back over and over again. 

Communicate in a timely manner. Even if it's an email to let them know when you will be answering their question or getting to their quote. 

Always act excited and cheerful when chatting! This is their dream family  trip, and we want them to feel like they are our first priority. 

YOur most important Job!

Client Communication

segment one

It goes a long way when people feel you are genuinely excited for their trip — because they are! When they feel you care, they are more connected to you and associate the interaction in a positive way. 

Remember how excited you are for them! 

Tips!

Tip NO. 1 of 2

I know you are juggling a lot and don't expect you to drop everything in order to answer a client. But from their perspective, it can be so helpful to hear, "I received your email, and I will respond in detail by 9 pm tonight" — people love expectations!

It's okay to say, "I got your email, and I'll respond as soon as I can."

From keeping track of dining openings to final payment and travel dates — it can be overwhelming to keep track of everything you need to do your job with ease.

How to stay organized? 

Stay Organized

  • You don't have to know everything at once! Take it one supplier, one step at a time. Master that and then expand. 
  • Say "no" when you can and get rid of excess tasks that you don't have to do. Know your limits. 
  • Use ChatGPT to help you create content or scripts, create automated workflows, and use tools to make your life easier! 
  • Set blocks of time to focus and dive in, enlist help where you can, and plan ahead! Do one thing at a time. 

  • Organize your workflow, set alarms, and create a routine.

Disney Dining is basically the Olympics of Disney vacations. Things book up instantly, and it takes skill and fast fingers. We suggest making this clear to your clients, so they know the expectations and can plan ahead. 

If you can't get the exact number, just get close. Disney is great at accommodating. 



You can set an alert with some of the Disney alert companies such as Stake Out, Mouse Dining, or Mouse Watchers. They alert you when something becomes available, and you can grab it quick for your client. 

Enlist help for big groups! Your fellow agents will support you, so don't be afraid to ask. Return the favor, or send a Starbucks.

You're their tour guide in their phone! This service puts you on "hold" for the day to help assist our families while they are in the park. You log in as them on their app and keep the day running smooth with lightning lanes and mobile orders, answering questions about "where first aid is" or "what to do when your phone is dying."

We sell both Universal Orlando and Hollywood Resorts, and they are getting better than ever! With Epic Universe, Universal Orlando is becoming a true destination, and we are even loving their hotels and waterparks!

  • Ride Hagrid's at rope drop or at park closing! 
  • Away We Go or Mears offers transportation from Walt Disney World resorts as well as Uber and Lyft. Uber offers a carseat option.
