🚩 How to stop attracting red flag clients and start attracting the ones you actually want 🌍


Hey there Reader

Do you have someone in your life that you get along well with, but just never seem to actually spend time with?

They're the kind of person you run into at the grocery store, outside church, or in the school pick-up line who always says...

“We should grab coffee soon and catch up!”



The only thing is they never follow through; they never call.

They have your number. You gave it to them. Maybe you're even connected on social media.



They leave you wondering if they do actually want to spend time with you so you wait for them to reach out.

And it's not just potential friends (and the dating world) that does this to us....

It's also potential clients who do it too - the lead who inquires but never moves forward with booking, that you continuously find yourself “just checking in!” with, even though you know they’re never going to move forward.

Or the client who asks you a million questions about budget, nickel-and-diming you for their budget vacation, even though you told them that you specialize in luxury honeymoon planning.

Or the referral who heard all about the awesome domestic getaway you booked for their friend, even though booking domestic travel is the bane of your existence, but you feel like you can’t say ‘no’ because you’re not getting any other inquiries.

You see where I’m going with this? Red flag clients are like toxic relationships from your past—unless you make a conscious effort to make a shift in who you’re attracting and spending time with, nothing will ever change.

But just like those cringe-worthy exes, ridding yourself of them is NOT as easy as it sounds.

So, I’m here to help.

Well, me and my team of fellow experienced StoryBrand certified copywriting coaches, website design experts, SEO-informed tech support, and visual branding gurus.

It’s time to break up with that toxic ex red flag client FOR GOOD.

And all it takes is one workbook, one weekend, and one decision to ditch the people you don’t want to work with in favor of actual dream clients.

We have TWO brilliant options to help you, depending on whether you want to be hands-on or hands-off.

Your days of attracting the wrong type of client's are over.

Imagine this... no more

❌ client's who ghost you after you put in a ton of work
❌ people who want things you don't want to sell - yes... those 3 day cheap cruisers are GONE!
❌ price shoppers
❌ friends and family who thing they're doing you a favor with proposals for trips they'll never book
❌ group trips that don't make it out of the chat
❌ embarrassing website that you hide from people




Upgrading your website (or starting from scratch) so that it truly reflects the type of client you want to work with (and repels the ons you do not want) is critical if you are not currently attracting the right clients.

Until you do this work, you won't see change. It doesn't matter how much you post on social media - your website needs to align with your business goals.

Whether you do the hands-on or the hands-off experience, you'll leave with...

👉🏼A perfectly clear core message that you can tell the world with confidence

👉🏼A stunning visual brand board that you can share with new team members as you onboard or outsource to ensure all of your content is created with consistency

👉🏼An ENTIRE WEBSITE full of copy written with our signature high-converting framework designed to help you speak directly to travel customers

👉🏼The ability to effortlessly use this new framework for writing all of your other marketing materials

👉🏼A beautifully laid out website that is ready to be shown off as soon as you’re ready to click “go live”

👉🏼 A curated selection of ready-to-use stock images hand-picked for your audience and the destinations and experiences you want to sell.


And, of course, the peace of mind knowing you’ll NEVER have to work with another red flag client again.
