Travel Marketing Agency CEO | Driving Profitable Bookings with SEO & Paid Media - Propellic®
What I've learned growing from 4 full-time team members to 15 in the past 10 months, and a total headcount of 22: 1. Leaders are everything. Emily Souydalay, Paul Teddy, and George Platona have been the sanity to my chaos. Happy to have Evan Kurland joining that roster in the months to come, as well. 2. Coaches are worth the time and money. Garrett Mehrguth & Tim Hamilton have both earned and saved me & Propellic hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of dollars. 3. Nothing I do would be possible without the support of my beloved husband, who also is an accomplished working professional, Thomas Gerling. 4. Relationships are everything. I owe a significant portion of my recent success to my early connections in the travel world. Bruce Rosard is at the top of the list. Some of my other strong relationships in the space that have developed over the past years are Alexander Ragin, Christian Watts, Mat Orrego, Mitch Bach, Robin Harnish, Matthew Phillips, Dan Christian, John Lyotier, Chris Jensen, and Stephen Joyce: to name just a few. The list has so many more on it, but I had to keep it brief. 5. We don't have to do everything internally. Consistent, reliable & long-term outsourced support from Ryan Lynch, CPA, Brian A. Hall, Rusty Hale and more, have kept me focused and on track. 6. Marketing is a never-ending function. Soledad Rodriguez, at the helm of Propellic's brand marketing efforts, has turned a manual process that was a side-thought into a consistent machine. Propellic is growing by 5-15% every month. It's an incredible ride, and I'm honored to be on it. Pictured are my dear friends, Daphne Tsevreni, Yiannis Nikolopoulos, and esteemed coworkers, Paul and Soledad.
