Travel advisors are often encouraged to seek out the more stable, and more lucrative, luxury market. But one question you might not have asked yourself is: What if you can't speak the language? There's definitely a right way to communicate with luxury-market clientele, both obvious and subtle.

On this episode host Rebecca Tobin and senior editor Jamie Beisiada talk with travel experts from Embark Beyond: CEO Jack Ezon and advisor Laura Worth, who have identified this challenge -- and created a series of training modules to help advisors. Among our topics: how to follow the "billionaires' calendar"; converse beyond travel in art, fashion and yachts; and read luxury-brand tea leaves; plus, imposter's syndrome and ways advisors can "fake it till they make it."
