Top-rated ultra luxury Seabourn Cruise Linewill be presenting its highly successful professional travel sales
seminar in 13 cities across the United States in the month of September.
Titled Success Strategies: What You Must Know About Today`s Luxury Traveler, the seminar, which was presented in more than two dozen markets last year, was developed by Seabourn in collaboration with renowned travel training specialist Dr. Marc Mancini. The content is based on extensive recent research into lifestyles and travel habits of luxury consumers. Mancini has organized this information in a lively and interactive format that includes clear, actionable conclusions.
Among other insights, attendees can expect to learn Seven Things You Must Know About Upscale Travelers, and Seven Success Strategies You Can Apply Immediately.
In 2003, the luxury segment proved to be the most resilient sector of the travel business, noted Deborah Natansohn, Seabourn`s president. That`s still true today, she continued, and that`s where agents who want to thrive should concentrate their efforts. All it takes is learning how to market and sell to the affluent.
According to Dr. Mancini, <>Success Strategies is a great presentation– fast-paced, highly interactive and packed withvaluable tips and information. I can recommend it to any agent who wants to upshift into the lucrative affluent segment of the travel business.
Margo Olivetti, manager of Small World Travel in Mill Valley, CA attended the seminar in June, and came away with an enthusiasm about the level of service on Seabourn. Interestingly, she says, that turned out to be the biggest selling point for my clients, too. Olivetti had not previously sold Seabourn, but has taken a group contract on a 14-day June, 2005 Mediterranean departure and already has an Owners Suite booked.
Stan Rosen of Protravel in Beverly Hills, CA has been selling Seabourn for years, but still felt the seminar was Most impressive. The presenter was great, said Rosen, and it was different getting real marketing advice from a marketing professional rather than just another cruise seminar. Rosen and his associates continue to sell Seabourn successfully. We`re even more gung ho, he says.
The seminars will be presented by Mancini himself and by Rick Scarry, a veteran travel presenter, curriculum author and developer for Dr. Mancini`s professional team.
