Think back to when you first started out as a travel advisor . There was surely a specific product or travel type that you never envisioned yourself selling . Now think about all the milestones you ’ ve hit along the way , all the unique experiences you ’ ve booked for your clients , and ask yourself this question : Why not me ? Why can ’ t you be the one to book a seat to space ?
