This is a sales-focused role where your main goal is to convert leads into bookings by building strong relationships with our clients. Through frequent and thoughtful phone conversations you will get to know our guests and their travel needs. You’ll inspire them with your own passion for and knowledge of travel throughout Latin America. You’ll provide exceptional customer care before, during, and after travel.

What You’ll Be Doing Speaking directly with our guests through frequent phone calls, video calls, and email to gain a comprehensive understanding of their travel needs, interests, and passions. This is a high-contact sales role where you'll be on the phone often. Curating bespoke itineraries across Latin America to suit each individual guest personally — seeking to include sustainable, one-of-a-kind hotels and excursions while following responsible travel practices. Using various sales techniques to convert leads into sales effectively and consistently. Upselling experiences and premium options to enhance the client’s trip. Cross-selling alternative locations or destinations if a client's first choice is unavailable or does not match their needs at the time they want to travel.
