My travel business runs through TravelBrokers — a family agency in Homewood, Illinois that has been in the industry since 1988. Supplier relationships, credentials, E&O coverage, and the kind of institutional knowledge you can't shortcut.
Frankly Global LLC is a separate and independent company. TravelBrokers is where I sell travel; Frankly is where I teach what selling it taught me.

Frankly Foundations is six sessions on discovery, objections, the close, and retention — the first application of the Frankly Method.
