Join the fun with a creative new sales tool from Trafalgar, CostSaver and Brendan Vacations

ANAHEIM, CALIF. April 1, 2016 – An inventive vehicle to help agents close during the final peak weeks of the summer vacation sales has been launched as a brand-new series of nine short videos called “Confessions of a Travel Agent”. Quick tips from sales expert Paul Wiseman, Trafalgar USA President, include how to sell packages by converting cruise clients to high-commission guided vacations, how Trafalgar, Brendan Vacations, and CostSaver past guests can sell for you, and lucrative easy group bookings. 

Not just another normal boring training video, Trafalgar, CostSaver, and Brendan Vacations scoured the dark corners of the travel industry to uncover its darkest secrets in this never-before-seen footage for a few laughs and some learning.

“We wanted agents to understand that we feel their pain, it needed to grab agents’ attention and compel them to act instead of just deleting from their already over-flowing inbox,” said Paul Wiseman, president of Trafalgar USA, CostSaver USA, and Brendan Vacations. “Agents can protect their business by booking clients early, reassuring them that travel is a great thing to do, and that a Trafalgar guided vacation provides more assistance and direct support to travelers than any other form of travel. We are with clients all the way and that means a lot in today’s world.”

Each week, a new short video vignette is emailed to agents, each designed to help sell more vacations and make more money. Or just like Netflix, multiple episodes are available for binge-watching at www.ConfessionsofaTravelAgent.com now.

Home-based agents can benefit from a special custom website. Trafalgar, CostSaver, and Brendan Vacations know they deal with a lot and are making their lives easier with a specific video to educate and entertain at http://www.confessionsofatravelagent.com/home-agent.
