In this episode, we delve into the number one mistake travel agents make with lead generation—relying solely on referrals and random marketing. The episode emphasizes the importance of a structured lead generation system incorporating social media, email marketing, and automation. It introduces key strategies for improving lead generation, such as using lead magnets, creating consistent content, and building connections through direct messages (DMs). Additionally, there's an upcoming free workshop on April 9th focused on effective lead generation tactics for 2025. Listeners are encouraged to take a quiz to determine their optimal lead generation strategy and to engage actively with their audience for better results.

Are you ready to be empowered to start or uplevel your business so you can earn the income you deserve to live the life of your dreams? It's time to create and own your magic!

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a women’s business coach, podcast host, high school Spanish teacher, dog mama to Bella, and Disney lover! She lives in Ohio with her younger sister and their rescue dog (from Puerto Rico), Bella. She's obsessed with all things Disney (the parks, movies, studying the business model, and running RunDisney races).

She started in business in network marketing in 2016. Needing an outlet to feel fulfilled after her mom passed away from a nearly 17 year battle with breast cancer in 2015, she quickly found that she was obsessed with helping other women also grow their businesses, and her coaching business very organically grew from her success in her own business and helping others on her team. She started this podcast in 2020 to share not only her own business advice and tips as she's on the journey herself, but also to interview other motivational women to share with YOU ! Additionally, she has always loved Disney, and one of the things she does is work as a travel agent who specializes in Disney and cruises. So, it was very natural for her to add her Disney-inspired branding into her business coaching, and the rest is history!
