Vacation Planner

Day to day, you're helping clients plan and book vacation packages — resorts, all-inclusive properties, cruises, and sometimes vacation club or timeshare products — through consultative conversation and soft-touch service. The work is oriented toward leisure travel for families and couples who are planning meaningful trips — anniversaries, honeymoons, milestone birthdays — and who may return to you year after year for each new occasion.

The rhythm mixes new client consultations (often inbound from referrals or lead programs) with follow-up on active bookings (confirming details, sending documents, handling pre-travel questions) and repeat client outreach (touching base before the anniversary or before peak booking season). Vacation planners who build a strong repeat client base create relatively steady demand; those who rely entirely on new client acquisition work harder for each sale.

The soft-touch service approach is central to what makes this role distinct. Clients planning a family vacation or anniversary trip are making an emotional purchase; the planner who is warm, patient, and genuinely invested in getting it right — not just booking quickly — earns the kind of trust that generates referrals and repeat business. Pushiness is counterproductive; attentiveness is the differentiator.
