You guessed it—selling groups! And what is the secret ingredient for successful group producers? Their attitude! If you are driven and passionate about selling group travel, your group will respond positively to your hard work and dedication . Selling Groups is Easy, Profitable & Fun The very definition of “group” implies that there are a number of people joined together—usually with a common interest in mind: the love of travel! Nothing bonds people together like shared travel experiences. Once others join in the “fun” you are on your way to increasing your community, profitability, bottom line, and ability to earn additional travel benefits. More Efficient Sales Group business maximizes your time. You have one goal in mind with a specific date, itinerary, and destination. The major time investment with your group is up front in securing the group . Once that is set, picture your calendar with the group departure ahead…all communication surrounding the group (deposits, payments, documents, etc.) is the SAME. It is a simpler sale! Exponential Growth How do groups grow? From the group members themselves! Once you have two people who want to go, they decide to invite their friends, and family who end up mentioning the trip to their friends and family and before you know it, the word has spread and your group has now doubled or tripled in size…so has the revenue and community produced by your group! Quick Way to Reach Your Goals As your group grows, so does the satisfaction of your customer base or membership . Your group will be enriched through the shared experiences of travel . Your organization or club will be strengthened through the efforts you take to organize travel on their behalf . Whatever your goals, travel with the Globus family of brands will help you reach them!
