We Did It, We Did It!
We did it; we did it (in my Dora Explorer voice)! Do you even know who Dora is? I'm dating myself, but it was a children's cartoon in the early 2000s, where Dora and friends would sing their praises of accomplishments at the end of every adventure. Well, I am singing today! Keep reading on all we accomplished this week as new franchise owners.
It's 4:30 am on a Wednesday as I write this, so the week has just reached its peak, and I am so excited about the week I am having down here in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I arrived safely on Sunday to continue my franchise owner training for Dream Vacations after completing the phase 1 online modules. The other franchise owners and the headquarters staff have been amazing. This group is friendly, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the week has not been without small business challenges.
If you remember my last blog, I mentioned I might need to adjust my branding and social media to comply with the franchise. So I struggled with tying Garbarini Group, LLC to the Dreams Vacation brand to not lose my audience here on the blog and vlog on Youtube. Then I learned depending on how I went to market; there could be an additional step to take before I could book a particular product I wanted to promote. I was a little stressed in the marketing department. Logos and websites and URLs, oh my! An hour ago, I woke up and went into my sites and was able to update everything to be in line with the brand, and for that, I thank God.
That has been the big challenge this week, but I'm also growing personally, which is why I sing. For example, we had to role-play our elevator speech, but only a few people needed to demonstrate the act. Guess who VOLUNTEERED to be the agent in a role play? In front of the whole class! That's growth for me. I've been networking and building relationships with my colleagues, as I often struggle with small talk. It's the passion for travel! Do you feel it?
No? How about this my first three customers to book with Syreeta Garbarini by Dream Vacations will get a free goodie bag customized to their travel adventure. Everyone who visits my Dreams Vacation website can enter our quarterly sweepstakes. We have some terrific contests at Dreams Vacations. "Come on, vamanos; everybody, let's go."
Let's grow your travel!
