September 2019

As the school bells ring and the kids head back to school, you may find some additional time on your hands, whether you are a parent or not. Having some free time to reflect and review your business is a great practice. Whether it’s in your operation processes, branding or sales, reflection in your business can lead to forward looking growth and that is the name of the game.

 

In this exciting issue of Travel Professional NEWS, we are first joined by AmaWaterways who shares a bit about their past, present and future as a luxury River Cruise line. With focus on personalized experiences, wellness, innovation and love, AmaWaterways is a fantastic offering to any client in the market for a fantastic experience on the river. 

 

Next, Kelly Bergin of Oasis Travel Network shares some motivating and inspirational reasons that Oasis Travel Network should be a strong consideration if you are contemplating the partnership with a Host Travel Agency. Then join Mary Pat Sullivan for an exciting look at the 2019 CruiseWorld show in Fort Lauderdale this coming November. 

 

In these fast paced times, a few moments may be all you have to make a good first impression on a potential client. Join Jackie Friedman, President of Nextion Travel Group for a fantastic look into the art of perfecting your elevator pitch. Join Geoff Millar for an in depth look at the beautiful Iberostar All Inclusive properties.

 

This past month, I experienced my first “trending” post on LinkedIn and am excited to share some insights from the experience as well as some very crucial tips for adding Millennial clients to your book of customers!

 

Lastly, don’t miss Tom Ogg’s in-depth look into Travel Agency Websites – Part 2. There is a lot of options out there and in this article, Tom dives into the best ways to maximize your efforts using SEO and content in your website. Scott Koepf continues to share truly valuable information on the sales process as a Travel Professional.
