CLIA agents master sales at sea

NEARLY 40 Aussie and Kiwi cruise agents honed their sales skills at sea during the CLIA Australasia Masters Conference.

Sailing on Pacific Eden for seven nights, the group was involved in on board conference sessions led by US-based travel industry trainer, business coach and motivational speaker Scott Koepf.

The sessions focused on applying advanced sales and marketing techniques to the cruise retail industry.

Between business, participants and their partners explored the vessel and the Papua New Guinea ports of Alotau, Kitava, Kiriwina, and Conflict Islands.

Consultants who successfully complete post-conference work- based assignments will earn themselves the elite Master Cruise Consultant accreditation.
