Organization Tips
Consider making yourself a 'Travel Bible' where you can store print-outs of important documents you will reference regularly. Keep in mind though that this is an ever-changing industry and you'll need to keep it up-to-date.
At supplier events and tradeshows, you will often come away with a lot of business cards. Card holders for a binder or an app for digital storage of this information is always a good idea.
Use a calendar (digital or paper) to keep track of important dates, including when client payments are due and their travel dates.
Consider purchasing a laptop if you do not own one - not all supplier booking interfaces are mobile or tablet friendly.
To stay organized, keep track of your bookings in a spreadsheet. This allows you to quickly reference when payments are due, when clients are traveling, if commission has been paid, etc.
