https://www.lindsaydollinger.com
Summer is one of the biggest opportunities of the year for travel advisors—but it can also become a season of missed momentum if you're not careful.
In this episode of Passports, Profits & Pixie Dust, Lindsay breaks down the five biggest mistakes travel advisors are making as summer begins and shares practical strategies to help you stay visible, attract more leads, and position yourself for a strong second half of the year. Whether you're a brand-new advisor or an experienced professional looking to grow, these insights can help you avoid common pitfalls and build a more profitable travel business.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
✨ Why disappearing from social media during summer can hurt future bookings
✨ The difference between posting travel photos and creating content that actually converts
✨ How niche clarity helps clients remember and refer you
✨ Why follow-up is one of the most overlooked revenue-generating activities in your business
✨ The habits successful travel advisors consistently practice behind the scenes
✨ What Lindsay would focus on if she were growing a travel business this summer

About Lindsay: Lindsay is a travel agency owner, 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!
