Margaritaville at Sea has launched a Certified Margaritaville at Sea Travel Advisor program, a self-paced training and rewards initiative designed to help travel advisors build their knowledge of the cruise line and its offerings.
Available to registered travel partners worldwide, the program includes four training sections that can be completed in less than 90 minutes. Advisors who complete the program earn the Certified Margaritaville at Sea Travel Advisor designation, along with a personalized certificate and certification logo that can be used on email signatures, websites and social media.
“Travel advisors have become an essential part of our brand, and investing in their growth remains one of our highest priorities,” said Ron Gulaskey, Senior VP of Sales, in a media statement. “The launch of the certification program reflects our ongoing commitment to listening, learning and delivering the resources our advisor partners need to succeed.
“When advisors feel confident in their knowledge of our brand and in selling it, they’re able to create more seamless, personalized experiences for their clients while growing their own businesses, and that’s a win for everyone,” he continues.
Incentives, Rewards & Assets for Advisors
In addition to certification and marketing tools, graduates become eligible for a range of exclusive incentives and opportunities, including:
- Booking incentives: Certified advisors receive $50 in bonus commission for all new FIT bookings made within two weeks of earning certification. The first 50 advisors to complete the program will also receive an additional $25 bonus commission on their first FIT booking following certification, for a combined $75 incentive.
- Group rewards: Certified advisors receive two additional GAP points for groups booked within one month of earning their designation.
- Advisor travel opportunities: Graduates gain access to special perks on travel advisor-rate and FAM sailings and become eligible for invitation-only FAM trips, Seminars at Sea and select regional events.
- Certification assets: Graduates receive a custom certificate of completion, a digital certification logo for use across their own marketing channels, customizable marketing materials featuring the certification logo and, upon request, a Margaritaville at Sea graduate sticker.
