Sara Davies and her family have been Travel Counsellors customers for years and won’t book their holidays anywhere else 😍

Lovely appreciation post by one of my lovely clients: Sara Davies

'Ok let’s talk about celebrity service - it’s an amazing tool my friend Ramm formulated, but it’s one I quote time and time again to businesses where I coach and do training - and it centres around the concept of going above and beyond in delivering exceptional customer service.

If you follow Geoff on linked in you’ll see he’s always citing great examples of ‘celebrity service’ from companies he encounters on his various jaunts around the world, but I thought I’d share one I experienced myself today….

So we’re off on holiday as a family today, and our Cathy Chapman-Travel Counsellor called round earlier this week with our little pack that we needed for travel (to save me the hassle of even having to think about checking in, printing boarding passes etc, she’d done it all and put it all ready in a little folio) but then she’d also made up little treat packs for both the kids with some sweeties for the plane and a gift card for them to treat themselves at the airport.

I know it seems like just a little thing - but it went such a long way - and it meant that today, she’s put herself and her business front of my mind, and not only that but she’s delivered a level of service that makes our relationship truly personal, sets her above any potential competition (thus ensuring I’m ALWAYS going to use her for any holiday bookings). Not only that but it means I’ll go out of my way to tell my friends about how amazing she is and recommend her when they’re booking holidays too.

That’s what celebrity service is - it’s going above and beyond to give such a high level of service that you would usually just pull out of the bag for a celebrity (and granted I appreciate that I might sit in that category now but I can tell you she was giving me that level of service long before I was ever on the telly-box!). It breeds an exceptionally loyal customer base, turns those customers into raving fans and makes them your recruitment engine.

So I just wanted to share - not only because it might just highlight to you that if your travel agent isn’t giving you this level of service then you’re missing out and you need to upgrade and get yourself to Travel Counsellors, but also in the hope that there might be a useful take home in here that you can apply in your own business.

And if you want ten million other celebrity service ideas then go follow Geoff (or better still go buy one of his celebrity service books so you can help support his business too!) - I’ve recommended them to loads of my Avon ladies in our coaching sessions too and there’s now hundreds of fabulous Avon reps delivering outstanding celebrity service up and down the country now (and growing their businesses monumentally as a result!)'

Happy travellers enjoying their well deserved break 😍

Most of my clients are far too busy to search for holidays themselves so trust me to provide them with a short-list of tried and tested hotels. We chop and change until they’re 100% happy and then I make all the arrangements for them.

Bones, beaches, and boo-tiful views—sail away on a spooky seaside escape!💀🌊

28/10/2024

I’m back at work today after a wonderful October half-term break

The weather was incredible! Hot during the day and cooler in the evenings but not enough to need a jumper / cardi. The pools were heated and the sea still lovely and warm. The perfect short-haul flop and drop.

Our room was amazing, especially with the huge terrace. It was our wedding anniversary on the first night so we booked a babysitter for the girls and celebrated together downstairs I was a bit nervous having never used a babysitter on holiday before but the girls had already met Lili during the day and had become “best friends”.

Everyone communicates on WhatsApp from kids club updates to the Concierge - it’s super easy to make restaurant reservations or book taxi’s through the WhatsApp concierge.

There are 5 restaurants to choose from within the resort and we also ventured down the road for a Thai one evening which was really good.

There’s a kids club and crèche with a variety of activities including tennis, paddle and football and a spa with a number of relaxing treatments.

🚨exciting developments for 2025🚨

A half board dine around programme will be introduced AND anyone who stays in a villa or suite will receive complimentary VIP meet & greet airport transfers. This is brilliant and would have massively benefitted us! We stayed in a family suite so would have been eligible and for one reason or another were the last off the plane, the last through immigration and the last to get our bags. With this new service, you’re met at the aircraft doors and fast tracked through the airport 😍

💌 DM me if you have any questions or want to book your escape

Just perfect and the BA staff are day-makers!

✨ October half term idea ✨ Trade gloomy grey for Mauritius’ sunny rays at Trou Aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa ☀️

I couldn’t resist sharing this fantastic family-friendly haven where you can soak up the sun and create everlasting memories with your loved ones.

Set on a stretch of white sandy beach right next to a turquoise lagoon, all perfectly positioned to catch the best sunsets and sunshine during the day.

It’s on a strip of white sandy beach just on the edge of a turquoise lagoon and it’s northwest-facing so it catches the best climates and stunning sunsets.

The hotel features an incredible kids’ club that’s free for little ones aged 3-11. Plus, there’s complimentary baby care and babysitting for infants aged 1-3, so you and your partner can sneak away for some much-deserved alone time 🌅

Who’s ready to swap clouds for paradise? ✈️🏝️

From sun-drenched beach holidays and backpacking adventures to corporate travels and family holidays, I’ve been there, done that and collected the passport stamps! It’s true what they say - having children changes the game but it doesn’t have to put a stop to your jetset lifestyle✈️

With years of experience traveling with my own family, I’ve got the inside scoop on the best family-friendly spots—think hotels with epic kids’ clubs and activities galore. Your little ones will be entertained so you can kick back and sip that cocktail in peace! 🐣🥂

I book holidays, honeymoons, ski trips, magical Lapland, safari adventures and cruises - you name it, I can make it happen. Plus, I’ve got a trusted team of experts for the more niche requests.

My passion for travel combined with my business management background, means your trip will be planned down to the last detail. I handle the nitty-gritty, so you can pack your bags and enjoy!

It's a kind of magic when you take the Eurostar to Disneyland Paris 🪄

Airports have their charm, but the hustle of summer travel can be overwhelming, especially when you're short on time, like during half-term...

That’s why I recommend taking the Eurostar from London St Pancras or Le Shuttle from Folkstone to Calais as a stress-free solution for families and couples looking for a magical yet quick getaway.

I've got some awesome customisable Disney packages for Christmas and February half-term if you're looking to sprinkle a little magic into your trip to Disney 🎉

Get ready for more magic and more sparkle ✨🏰✨

I visited Hawaii in October 2019, and it felt like the perfect time to visit one of the most beautiful places on Honua (Earth!) 🌺✈️

Autumn is such a fantastic season to experience Hawaii. The crowds are lighter, the ocean is pleasantly warm, prices are often more budget-friendly, and you can expect less rain along with some exciting festivals!

This year, Honolulu, Oahu, will be buzzing with the Aloha Festivals, running from 7th-28th September, which is the largest celebration of Hawaiian culture in the entire United States 🇺🇸

I can't wait to share more about my adventures there, but in the meantime, if you're dreaming of planning your own Hawaiian getaway, feel free to reach out.

I’d be more than happy to help you brainstorm ideas and even put together a customised travel package just for you.

Aloha! 🌺
