As we draw to the end of the year, we may like to take a moment to reflect on the last 12 months and think about whether we’ve been the best human beings possible.
If not for our own personal growth, then to get in Santa’s good books of course!
If you’re a travel agent and you’re not sure whether you’ve been naughty or nice this year (or simply can’t remember coz of the drinkin’), then read on…
Here are five tell-tale signs that will tell you whether you’ve been naughty or nice…
NICE – YOU’RE UP TO YOUR EARS IN XMAS PARTY INVITATIONS
Well aren’t you Miss/Mr popularity?
If your Facebook and/or email inbox is full of Christmas party invitations, then odds are you’ve been a good boy or girl this year – congrats!
Of course, you can easily turn naughty once the booze starts having an effect on you, so keep this in mind when you’re skulling glasses of red wine with your mates at the bar…
NAUGHTY – YOU’VE PUT ON AN EXTRA 10KGS
If the scales have shifted and your usual weight is at least 10kgs higher, then you’ve most probably been a tad naughty leading up to Christmas. And when you think about it, there’s a cause for this weight gain (the drinking, the late night kebab runs, the drinking).
But everything’s all good, as you can lose it all once you make your new year’s resolutions…
NICE – YOUR CLIENTS ARE GIVING YOU PRESENTS
A bottle of wine from Mrs. Samuels; a box of Cadbury Favourites from Joanne P; a gaudy Xmas t-shirt from old mate John C – wow, well haven’t you been an awesome travel agent this year?!
Having clients pop in to wish you a Merry Christmas means you’ve been very nice this year, so well done and keep it up!
NAUGHTY – YOU HAVE THE WRONG TYPE OF REPUTATION
If people know who you are before you’ve even introduced yourself, then your reputation definitely precedes you. The only question now is whether that reputation is good or bad?
If, after meeting you in person, these people make polite small talk before walking off to speak to someone else, or say something that appears to hint at your behaviour at the last industry night, then you’ve probably got one of those bad reps, which means you’ve been very naughty!
NICE – YOUR BOSS STILL LIKES YOU
Congrats!
You made hardly any negs this year, you only threw up once at an industry event, and you managed to sell more than what you projected for pretty much every month this year.
You’re definitely in the boss’s good books, and this means you’ve been a very nice boy or girl this year.
