From GoPro to Travel Pro
How Scott's Photography Hobby Set Him on a Path to Being a Franchise Owner

How it Started
"I love to cruise! I started out taking GoPro videos on cruise ships and posting them on my personal social media accounts. I got a call one day from a top franchise travel owner who had seen my videos, and eventually, he hired me as his associate to work under his franchise."

Scott started as an avid traveler who shared my love of travel through GoPro videos. Now he's a proud Cruise Planner franchise owner.
Becoming His Own Boss
After about a year-and-a-half, Scott had built up a solid client base just from doing it part-time.
"Eventually I realized that I that I was making the franchise owner a lot of money leaving a lot of money on the table. So I wanted to run my own franchise."
But Scott wasn't impressed by the support he had was getting from the franchise's home office.
"My worst experience was that the support wasn't great. I would call in to their home office and request assistance for their systems and would get mixed reviews and answers. They would tell me 'you can do this yourself' or 'you can figure this out'."
Scott started to do research and came across Cruise Planners.
"I did a lot of research and was very impressed with the technology CP offered, the support, the systems provided by the home office, and pretty much everything involved. I was blown away. One of the main drivers was technology because the systems at the other franchise company were archaic and really hard to use."

Working from Anywhere
"With the times now, lots of people work from home, but to work from anywhere allows me to travel more and experience new adventures. I can take the family for the weekend or week, and work. It expands our ability to work and see the world.
I’ve been able to work while on board cruise ships, while in Park City, Utah during ski season hitting the slopes."
"You can put in as few or as many hours as you want. The flexibility to work anywhere is really special and a great perk. To travel and work at the same time is amazing. To be able to meet the needs of my clients any time, anywhere with Cruise Planners’ mobile technology, has been invaluable. "
