Sandy Nussbaum Giercyk – Doubling Down on Disney
Sandy is probably the most committed Disney lover I’ve met, and she turned that passion into a business, where she could spend every day helping others have the experience of a lifetime at her most favorite place on Earth.
Originally working as a conference and events specialist, she made the transition to Disney travel 15 years ago and jumped right in to start her own agency so she could live her dream of making Disney her job.
Today, Sandy runs a successful travel business focused entirely on Disney adventures and experiences. She proudly commits her own time and resources to be the most knowledgeable expert out there on all of the Disney attractions, events and secrets.
Her steadfast commitment to serving and delighting her customers has paid off as she has built a strong list of repeat customers who continue to come to her year over year (often more than once a year!) to help them make the most of their vacation.
In this episode, we will talk about building a business around fandom, how knowing your customer intimately is crucial to your success, how to manage a business during an industry-crushing crisis, and creating personal and business resilience in uncertain times.
I was so delighted to have this conversation with Sandy, and I can’t wait for you to hear it too!
