"I worked at Hillside Agency as a travel agent for five years. During my time there, I helped customers with their travel requests and marketed various travel destinations. I also learned how to organize travel plans and closed over 100 sales at my last position. I love making travel planning easier for people and ensuring my customers have a nice trip."

"At my last job, my primary duty was to assist businesses with their travel plans. I inquired about their needs and created an itinerary that included visits to business travel destinations in the area. I also negotiated cheaper rates with airlines and hotels to encourage my clients to take trips and enjoy their stay."

"I have excellent communication skills, which help me to relate easily with customers and vendors. My customer service skills are excellent and they earned me repeat business from couples and groups. I'm also a highly organized salesperson with exceptional negotiation skills. I'd love to apply these qualities as a travel agent in your company."

"I'd first listen actively to the customer as they describe what aspect of the travel arrangement or trip they were unsatisfied with. If their feedback was due to a mistake I made, I'd apologize and think of a solution. I'd also inform my supervisor of the situation and my action plan to prevent other customers from complaining about similar issues. I think the best way to improve my services as a travel agent is to seek feedback from customers."

"As a travel agent, I'm always happy to present travel options and the agency I work for to potential customers. I cold-called several customers in my previous role and maintained an 87% closing rate. I'm also good at using ice breakers to connect with people, especially when there's no sales script to follow."

"I'd first ask what they want in a romantic getaway to get an idea of the experience they need. Then I'd search for packages that contained all their requirements and present options that matched their budget. I'd recommend places that allowed alone time and romantic destinations, such as Niagara-on-the-lake in Ontario or the Wickaninnish Inn in Vancouver Island."

"If a customer couldn't afford a package I offered, I'd first confirm what their budget was. Then, I'd find a travel package that matches it. I am aware your organization has different travel options for different budgets. I believe retaining customers is as important as finding leads."

"I think my sales strategy is the most important factor that influences a customer's decision. It's also the only one I can influence. I feel if I communicated a travel destination effectively, some customers would not focus too much on the price. That's why I always put in my best to sell travel packages and present various options to customers."

"Having customers leave positive reviews about a destination I recommended is the most rewarding aspect for me. As a travel agent, my primary duty is to arrange trips and sell transportation, tours, and accommodation. It's exciting seeing customers have a great time on trips I planned. My job also requires me to visit various destinations to get firsthand experience and I love to travel."

"There are a lot of places you can go to in summer. I'd recommend the Grasslands National Park in Saskatchewan for its unique landscape. I also think the CN tower in Toronto is a great place for people to visit in summer because of the view from the building's top."

"I'm available to work Monday though Friday. I understand some customers may want to book travel plans during the weekend, and I'd be happy to come to work whenever possible. I'm also comfortable working holidays."

"My greatest strength is my persuasiveness. I'm an excellent salesperson who can convince customers to buy into various ideas. I've always had a natural ability to keep conversations going, and it has served me well in my career as a travel agent. I'd love the opportunity to apply this well-developed strength as a travel agent in your agency."

"I think any travel agent would be happy to skip having to record details. Researching travel options and discussing arrangements with customers excites me more. However, I understand the importance of recording accurate details about a customer and their travel plans. What software does your organization use for recordkeeping?"

"I'd give myself nine out of 10. I'm great at having productive discussions with vendors and customers. I also know to interact with my supervisor or managers. Once, I earned return business for communicating a travel package to a team of venture capitalists. I'd love to use my communication and sales skills to help your agency improve its closing rate."

"I want to join your agency because I've always loved your mission to build the most customer-centric travel company. I like that your agency plans corporate trips to various destinations. I also see this position as an opportunity to help couples arrange romantic trips, and I'm confident my negotiation skills would be useful here."
