Top Tips for Breakaway Reps: How to Get Your Friends on Board

Being a Breakaway Rep isn’t just about planning a trip. It’s about rallying your classmates to go on the most epic March Break trip ever. You’ve got the tools, the energy, and the perks (oh yes, the perks ?). Now let’s make sure you’re using them to the fullest.

1. Reach Out Beyond Your Inner Circle

It’s easy to start with your best friends, but the real impact comes when you branch out. Talk to classmates you don’t normally hang with, teammates, or even that kid you only share one class with. The more people you include, the more epic your trip becomes. Plus, everyone loves to feel included!

2. No One Gets Left Out

Make it a rule: if someone’s in your grade, they’re on your radar. Even if you’re not close, extend the invite. You never know who’s been waiting for the chance to join in. Trips are way better when everyone’s involved. And who knows, maybe you’ll end up making some unlikely new friends.

3. Keep Social Media Popping

Your classmates scroll all day, so give them something exciting to see! Post countdowns, pics from last year’s trip, etc. The more consistent you are and the more creative, the more your trip stays top of mind.

4. Bring the Energy In Person (and at Home)

Hype it up at school. Chat about it in the hallways, at practice, or during lunch. Then, don’t stop there! Follow up later with a quick text or call. A personal reminder goes a long way in turning “maybe” into “yes.”

5. Don’t Forget the Perks ?

Being a Rep comes with serious rewards:

  • Score Discounts (or a Free Trip!): The more classmates you bring, the less you pay. Some reps even travel free.
  • VIP Treatment: You ARE our VIPs, because without you, our trips wouldn’t be the same. SO, we always make sure our reps get special treatment during the trip… like, waiting in line? Absolutely not. Custom swag bags full of goodies? 100%.
  • Boost Your Resume: Planning, organizing, and leading? That’s leadership experience future schools and jobs will love to see.

Reps are the heartbeat of every trip with Breakaway Tours. Follow these tips, keep the energy high, and you’ll not only crush your rep goals but also guarantee your class the trip of a lifetime.
