As the number one franchise for people new to travel it will come as no surprise that we have a rather unusual way of helping new joiners overcome hurdles of selling a cruise…
Our Seminar at Sea is a ground-breaking educational trip onboard an innovative cruise ship – and it’s tailormade to help newcomers master the art of selling a trip with onboard workshops conducted by our cruise experts!
We’ve organised two Seminar at Sea trips this year so far – and while the one in May is already full, there’s still time to invest in a franchise and join our cruise on Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady in June, according to co-founder Paul Harrison.
“The best way to learn how fabulous a cruise holiday is, is to actually step on board and set sail. We take the classroom with us as we cruise the Mediterranean sea. We literally ‘live’ the lessons and ensure our agents really get to know what they’re selling to their customers. These trips are the perfect combination of business and pleasure!”
As well as attending a series of workshops and lectures onboard, you’ll get to experience all the entertainment and dining options that the ship has to offer. Plus, you can book shore excursions at all the ports of call and post images as you cruise.
“Many franchisees that have attended one of our Seminars at Sea had never set foot on a cruise ship but then went on to make some big cruise bookings thanks to the confidence and knowledge they gained on the trip.
“This Seminar at Sea promises to be equally exciting. Virgin Voyages’ adult-only ships offer incredible – and often edgy – entertainment and first-class food and fitness classes. I can’t wait to see the consultants’ faces when they get onboard.”
Our Seminar at Sea trips were born out of the fact that a cruise holiday is among the most lucrative bookings that a travel agent can make.
It’s the sector of travel that often reaps the highest rewards for consultants. Yet, having said that, a cruise can also be one of the most complicated and challenging holiday bookings that a travel agent will ever face.
That’s why we created our innovative cruise division and developed a 12-month Cruise Mastery Programme with webinars and modules designed to make you an expert and skyrocket sales.
Headed up by cruise guru and senior cruise business development manager, Duncan Croucher, our specialist cruise team establishes special relationships with our key trade cruise partners – over 15 leading cruise lines (such as NCL, P&O, MSC and Virgin Voyages) that offer exclusive deals, ship visits and training to our consultants.
Sign up now and you could attend our Seminar at Sea in June and enjoy a cruise with our co-founder Paul Harrison plus cruise experts Duncan Croucher and Neal Hussey. You’ll also get to meet agents who have been in the industry for years and can give you tips and advice.
