Travel Agent Central published their 9th annual 30Under30 list, showcasing 30 individuals under the age of 30. The featured agents demonstrate promising careers as the next generation of Travel Consultants who are discovering new places to go and innovative ways to connect with travelers. With more agents featured than any other agency, FROSCH is extremely proud to congratulate Anne Beddoe (PCS – Based in Washington, DC), Greg Jacobs (Woodland Hills, CA), Megan Paleczny (Deerfield, IL), Kathleen Robinson (Studio City, CA), and Keith Cohens (Woodland Hills, CA) for making the list!
Anne Beddoe has always had an urge to explore the unknown and discover new [and] unfamiliar territory. Since graduating from the University of Arizona, she has traveled across America. Beddoe works with all age groups, but notes that it can be difficult to deal with Millennials, adding, that she understands what they need because it’s often identical to her own travel desires. Beddoe’s best sales pitch to Millennials is this: although the Internet may find them a good deal, once they’re abroad, they’re on their own; by using an agent, she reassures her potential clients that she will be with them for the entirety of their journey.
Greg Jacobs, is one of FROSCH Classic Cruise and Travel’s top Disney specialists thanks in part to his confidence in the brand. He knows the importance of a broad skill set, and works to keep himself familiar with other products and a variety of destinations in the event he needs to book something that isn’t exactly Disney.
As a student at Indiana University studying Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management, Megan Paleczny knew she was already on the right career path. What ultimately convinced her to work as a travel consultant was a study-abroad program called “Semester at Sea.” Earlier this year Megan was chosen to be on FROSCH’s FT2 advisory board, which FROSCH created to inspire Millennials to work in the travel industry.
Kathleen Robinson’s elevator pitch to clients includes “outlining the added value, such as upgraded amenities, they would receive if booking through me, but especially knowing that there is someone who will always pick up the phone no matter where they might be in the world at any hour.” With everything going on in the world, “it is reassuring to our clients that they are able to speak to someone in their own language, should they have any questions or concerns while traveling.” Robinson has also been selected for FROSCH’s FT2 Advisory Board to help recruit and retain new young professionals.
Keith Cohens knows that big groups can pose huge problems — but even larger rewards. With an appreciation for solving the obstacles that group travel can throw at a young advisor, Cohens enjoys his current role as a corporate travel agent for Frosch Classic Cruise and Travel, where he thrives on providing solutions to making even the most challenging of trips a success.
Congratulations Anne, Greg, Megan, and Kathleen — this recognition is well-deserved!
