Why we’re taking 130 consultants on a free Virgin Voyages cruise this week

3 min read

What better way to get our top consultants together and celebrate record sales this year than by inviting them on a free Virgin Voyages cruise?

Last night our co-founders, corporate team and over 130 consultants boarded Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady for a week-long cruise around the Med visiting Toulon, Marina De Carrera, Rome and Ibiza .

Also onboard is our company spokesperson, TV presenter Eamonn Holmes, plus brand ambassador Hayley Sparkes and Daley Thompson.

Our get together is aimed at our consultants who have reached Platinum status and above, which means they have earned commission of £20,000 and more with some agents earning over £2 million since joining.

Our co-founder Paul Harrison said:

“The event is a chance to spend a week together, celebrating our success and recognition, along with company updates, new initiatives, and enhanced systems and technology – all while partying for the week and rekindling friendships. Events like this are the foundation on which our company is built.”

He added that he would be announcing new hires to our senior management team and creating a ‘Consultant Forum’ of eight franchisees who will represent consultants and act as an ‘advisory board’ sharing agent opinions and ideas while testing new initiatives.

“We listen and give them a say and they can feel part of crafting what the future will look like.”

The event comes hot on the heels of an announcement that holiday sales are over 30 per cent up year on year, with a huge increase in bookings via key trade partners such as TUI with whom we have a close relationship.  

Around 20 key trade partners are attending for the first two days giving agents the opportunity to listen to updates on new products and booking tools, plus meet representatives in person and establish close relationships.

These include TUI, Easyjet, Sandals, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Audley Travel, Travelpack, Beachcomber, P&O and Gold Medal among others.

The event isn’t the only free trip we offer consultants. Anyone who joins on our Elite franchise package gets invited to our free Millionaire’s Retreat in a short-haul location followed by our Elite Experience in a long-haul destination. Both offer workshops and training on how to propel your business to the next level with opportunities to network and explore a popular resort.

Our next Elite Experience is taking place in Mauritius and is closely followed by our Millionaire’s Retreat in Crete.
