So this year I want to do a digital nomad trip from Latin America to Asia since I have some leverage of being able to work remotely as a software engineer. But I had a couple constraints, like I don't have North American visas to do flyovers there; I only want to do the long-haul trips on weekends; and also that I want to do multiple countries with an itinerary that is still not defined.
So what I did was basically brainstorming, and then I thought, okay, what if I try to give Claude Code API access to another platform that scrapes flights data and filter out what I need, especially because I want to avoid to manually uncheck all the Canada and USA airports that were pre-selected in all the flights that I was looking for because I don't have those visas.
And I ended up building this Claude Code session like very specific to my case considering preferences for my previous trips that I have done in the past: times to do the departure and arrival flights to avoid the jet lag, to avoid sleeping on airports, to avoid a lot of things that I already know I don't want to experience while doing such a trip.
And at the end, I built something that not only scraped all the data and filtered out manually, but also advised me on routes or stopovers or changes of itinerary based on price and convenience.
it managed to save me like a couple hundred dollars and idk how many hours of research for that. And I thought, how can I sell this value without having to do the whole hassle of building a platform to provide it? I've already done that mistake before and getting 0 customers.
I’m thinking of selling this as a service first to travel agencies . But thats definitely a new field for me because I've never sold that kind of services.
Before, I have done consulting a couple of times, but never B2B sales to agencies that plan corporate fields or these kinds of stuff.
And I'm just curious about the 101 for B2B sales, what mistakes people that have already done doing this kind of ventures or a book where I can learn that, what errors have you done before that I could avoid? Any resources in this community regarding that?
Appreciate any help (or networking 😝)
