Frequent travelers are not the only successful home based travel agents in the travel industry. Anyone who knows how to use marketing and networking properly can become successful, make money, and even travel for free if they choose. It is amazing how many people have the vast resources that have potential groups and they can even make millions in some cases. Hidden inside different types of communities and organizations are people that can organize a group cruise. The Cruise Lines love group travel and will bend over backwards to meet the needs of your organization. They have many different ways to give the specific groups: space, time, and certain resources to meet the group/organization’s specific needs. They meet these needs as best as possible so the group/organization can accomplish whatever they desire too.
Make money on your own time, make money at home and only limited training needed to get started and we can help you the rest of the way. Being able to network and organize is the most important thing about being a home based agent or outside agent. The Cruise Brothers has been around since 1972 and has seen almost every type of group cruises imaginable. Church groups are one of the most popular types of groups. When people get together regularly for an event, conference, meeting or anything we become comfortable. When thinking about vacations most people would rather be with and/or around people who know and share the same interests as them. There are bigger groups with much more money involved that are in front of people and they just don’t know to notice. There is groups put together for doctors to take classes and keep them up to date on new advancements in the field of medicine. Another example could possibly be with executive trainings or conferences in other industries. Any type of conference, meeting, retreat, or class can be converted and done on a cruise ship. This way clients can even use the cruise education for their field of work or interest and take their families on vacation as well.
The online world is a evolving environment that can literally be used to search and find people with common interests to put on a cruise ship as a group. The potential of social media is now a gold mine for some that know how to work with it. This industry is new and still a growing trend. There are no rules in this that digital world that are set in stone. What’s the hurt in trying to find a productive way to market and network online? Anything from just a small post on Facebook about travel can remind your friends you are an agent and turn into a lead.
