17 JAN: Remember the famous 1978 TV commercial in which the president of Remington said he was so pleased with the shaver his wife gave him that he bought the company?

It comes to mind with the news about Sarah Weaver, who until recently was TravelManagers business partnership manager for Queensland.

After two years with the home-based group, Sarah was so impressed with the organisation that she quit her administrative role to set up shop as one of its personal travel managers (PTMs).

"I saw such great potential, with the ability to maintain a great lifestyle and work balance while raising my son", she says.

"I like the fact that as a personal travel manager I can specialize, which I wouldn’t be able to do so freely in a bricks and mortar agency.

"It’s hugely empowering to know that it’s up to me and I now have the ability to write as much business as I want to and work the hours I want to while having time to spend with my very busy toddler.

"I’m starting from scratch, but in my previous role I saw so many personal travel managers start in the same way, and the success stories are incredible".
