Dear Dave,
 
When your clients return from a trip you booked, of course you want to touch base with them to make sure all went as planned.

 
Rarely do you have time to spend 2 hours reviewing every detail of their 3 week holiday, hour by hour...  So, how should you handle that conversation (whether in person or on the phone)?
 
DO NOT SAY:  SO TELL ME (ALL) ABOUT YOUR TRIP...  That is unless you have hours to hear every detail of their itinerary (that you booked) and what they had for breakfast everyday...
Here is my suggestion, that works most of the time...
 
MAGIC QUESTION:  SO TELL ME THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR TRIP.   This will show your interest, but not take hours of your time (with most clients).  
 
Of course, if something did go wrong, you can be sure they will let you know that also, probably without you asking.
Of course there are a small percentage of clients who will want to talk for a while even when you ask the Magic Question, but you already know who they are...
 
I am currently on vacation (until Aug 8) and in my absence, you can contact the following for our accounts:
bulletEl Cid Resorts - Mary Solano   (msolano@elcid.com.mx)
bulletHonua Kai Resort & Spa - Maryanne Lopez (MLopez@honuakai.com) or Amber Tesoro (ATesoro@honuakai.com)
bulletKrystal Resorts & Hilton Puerto Vallarta - Sandy Ruel (sandy@daemery.com)
bulletAuto Europe (in BC) - +1-800-223-5555

Happy Travels and Happy Selling!
