If your social media posts aren't working, it's probably because every single one is trying to sell.
I learned this the hard way back in my baby travel advisor days, and I saw it happen all over again at a recent workshop where advisors kept turning warm-up posts into sales posts.
So let's talk about why that pushes the right people away, because nobody hands a complete stranger $10,000 to plan their trip, amiright??
I'm walking you through the three jobs your posts should actually be doing, Meet, Connect, and Convert, so you can stop yelling "book with me" into the void and start building the kind of trust that leads to real bookings.
Your feed is a place to build relationships, not a billboard, and once that clicks, everything about your marketing gets easier.
