Creator's Key Takeaways

luxury looks different for everybody but on an educational standpoint and i'd say there's there's many different levels of that

you need to have a strategy and a sell strategy that works and that's going to start with a business development plan

high net worth individuals take time and so if you came from kind of a job where you had a salary don't be expecting to make 10 000 in the first 30 days

travel insurance should be number one on your list with every trip that you sell

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Niche up and specialize in specific client types or destinations to target high-net-worth individuals
✓Use text messaging for client relationships instead of just email to build rapport
✓Charge service fees confidently, especially for low-hanging fruit clients
✓Get on video to build authority and attract clients through social media
