Ever wonder what it takes to put on our seminars at sea? This seminar will be a comprehensive look at what it takes to plan and execute a hosted group sailing.
Does your company image need a makeover? Is your website or branding just not where you want it to be? In this interactive session, participants will be able to share their marketing effors (website, social media, brand elements) and get real-time feedback from a panel of experts and other travel advisors.
When and where will we sail for our 5th Annual Seminar at Sea? You'll be the first to know and even be able to book your spot onboard before we open it to the general public.
Many of our seminar guests are focused on selling cruise but want to branch out to other areas of travel. This session will give you the ins and outs of selling other types of vacations, including land-based options, theme parks, guided tours, and all-inclusive resorts.
You might be familiar with the concept of the "drip campaign" while prospecting and going through the sales process. In this seminar, we'll help you apply those same techniques to the period after the sale, helping you to turn those clients into repeat customers and a solid source for referrals.
Tools like AI, Canva, and even Photoshop allow you to design your own marketing pieces. But how do you know what to include and what works best (and what doesn't)? In this session, we'll offer some techniques and tips for increasing the quality and success of your promotional pieces.
There are some great tools for travel advisors to help create and schedule social media posts. But are these tools like Branch Up and Rallio helping or hurting your potential reach? What if you could leverage these tools to increase your audience while not just posting the same thing as everyone else? We'll tell you how in this seminar.
AI can be a great tool, but often it's only a good as what you tell it. This seminar will help you leverage AI for your travel agency while showing you how to determine when the technology is working and when it may be leading you down the wrong road.
Do you get stage fright or experience anxiety when you need to be the host of a zoom or a public meeting? Worried about how you look on camera? This multimedia session will help relieve those stress points with tips from two experts who spent decades in the broadcast industry. You'll walk away with the confidence needed to hit a home run with your next virtual or in-person speaking engagement.
You may have heard of the seven deadly sins - pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. But have you ever thought how they might apply to your job as a travel advisor? This unique session will connect the dots and help you avoid committing one of these transgressions that could lead to professional disaster.
As travel advisors, we usually have the lense of our camera aimed at the client, and that picture becomes even more focused when we work with special needs travelers. But from time to time, we should flip the lense to ourselves and take a "selfie" of our mental health and well-being. Our special needs expert Danielle Gonyea, ACC, has tips and tricks to help you better service your clients while also taking care of yourself.
Our "Town Hall" is your chance to ask questions on any travel topics. You may wish to follow-up on one of our earlier sessions or use the time to share a pain point in your business and get feedback from both our expert panel and your fellow travel advisors. Everyone is welcome to share their insights and experiences, no matter their level of industry experience. We truly believe that everyone can have great ideas, no matter the amount of time they have worked as a travel advisor.
Note: Schedule listed here is tentative and subject to change.
It is our intention to offer the full program as described with participation of all three authors and other presenters listed. All sales are final and a change in schedule or presenter participation will not result in a credit or refund.
