Trafalgar Tours expanded its e-Learning
travel agent program with two additional programs, bringing the
total to four, and introduced an incentive to encourage agents to
participate.
According to
Trafalgars President John Severini, the e-Learning program has
succeeded in increasing the sales performance of past participants.
Since the program was initiated in September 2005, 3,000 agents
have participated, according to the company.
Agents who
complete the two new modules by June 15 are eligible to win a trip
for two on Trafalgars seven-night Best of the Canyonlands tour.
Theyll also receive a certificate that names them as a Trafalgar
Super Agent Specialists.
The first module,
based on a Snakes and Ladders game format, is on the subject of
selling tours. The second module is called Myth Busters. The third
module, also based on Snakes and Ladders, focuses on Canada and the
U.S. And the fourth is called Dare to Compare: Touring versus
Self-Drive.
The training
modules are available online and each module takes about 15 minutes
to complete, the company said. The training has been effective in
helping agents boost sales.
To participate,
agents must log onto www.trafalgar.com, click on the Travel Agent Login
