AmaWaterways Launches Agent Webinar Series
AmaWaterways has launched a new initiative to continue strengthening its relationships with travel agents through “Webinar Wednesdays,” a series of live webinars hosted by company executives and industry experts.
The series is designed to educate and empower agents interested in developing or expanding their luxury travel business. The inaugural event, which took place July 31, was led by AmaWaterways co-founders Rudi Schreiner and Kristin Karst, and gave participants a glimpse of the new Magna on the Danube itinerary, which was specially curated by Schreiner himself.
Each 30-minute monthly episode will provide in-depth understanding of AmaWaterways’ itineraries and ships and provide effective tools to develop loyal repeat clients, as well as tips on attracting new-to-river-cruise luxury clients.
Scheduled Webinar Wednesdays episodes include: Aug. 21: “Secrets to Selling Groups with AmaWaterways” with Gary Murphy, senior vice-president, sales and co-owner; Sept. 4: “Growing Your River Cruise Sales Using Social Media” with Janet Bava, chief marketing officer; Oct. 2: “What’s New For 2020” with Alex Pinelo, vice-president, sales; Nov. 6: “Tips for Mastering the Online Booking System” with Bronwyn McKindley, vice-president, reservations.
“Travel advisors have been at the heart of AmaWaterways success since the company was started in 2002, and we know the important role that training plays in our continued success together,” said Murphy. “The Webinar Wednesdays are designed to provide advisors essential knowledge and expertise to succeed in today’s fast paced business world as well as to maintain an important personal link between our top executives and our valued travel partners.”
The number of participants for each webinar is limited, so agents are encouraged to pre-register.
Advisors unable to participate in the live events with the interactive Q&A sessions can view the recorded versions in the Webinar Library after registering in the company’s Travel Advisor Portal.
