Fact: Business Social media is the new cold call.
Fact: New online tools are going to help us make sense of our social media connections and streams.
Fact: Group business can be a core profit-center and needs to be consistently cultivated online and off.
From my experience, many successful travel agents and agencies are embracing the internet and using it consistently as a major source of business development. Are you turning towards or away from it?

Outline 3 business social media tools to prospect for immediate group travel business,

You've seen the commercials. You've seen it on airplanes, cruise ships and at the beach. Your friends, family and clients are talking about it or using it. Technology has gone mobile and taken travel along with it. Feeling left behind or confused? You're not alone and we can help.
Today's travellers are more connected than ever. IPhones, cell phones, text messaging, apps and more have become essential elements of vacations and business trips alike. As a result, travellers are asking their agents questions like "can I use my iPad on the ship?" and 'Is there a travel app for that?"
Mobile technology is no longer separate from travel, but inextricably connected to it. In this program we will clear up the confusion and cut through the clutter. We will help you understand the terms, the technology, and what matters most.. And don't worry! We will cover everything using an easy and accessible non-geek-speak approach.
Things you'll learn:
Important issues and terminology, put in simple terms
What matters most to leisure and corporate travellers
How to use mobile tech better personally and professionally
The impact of apps (applications) on the future of travel agents
Marketing and service opportunities through mobile tech.
