Top 5 Reasons Why You Should Send More of Your Agents (not just one) to a Certified Sandals Specialist Workshop:
1) We’ve talked to agencies who have most of their staff certified and many loyal agents say they are having the best year ever despite the economy! CSS trained agents are also closing more sales in higher room categories resulting in a better bottom line.
2) CSS trained agents are selling more commissionable add-ons such as private candle light dinners, tours, spa treatments, and character breakfasts. Bottom line- you make more commission selling Sandals, Beaches, and Royal Plantation Resorts over selling cruises and many other all-inclusives.
3) You can no longer afford to work on automatic pilot. You are only a value to your clients if you know more than them. You have to be better at what you do now more than ever!
4) Each attending agent receives CASH BOOKING INCENTIVES of $200 per new Butler booking & $100 per new Concierge Booking made within 60 days of the workshop
5) Each attending agent will receive a coupon booklet with $2400 in rewards on bookings made with your favorite tour operators!
Register for our upcoming Certified Sandals Specialist Workshops! Certified Sandals Specialist Agents can take advantage of free nights and other booking incentives. Sandals and Beaches Resorts spend millions of dollars to advertise each year. Agencies with active CSS agents on staff earn the privilege to use some our marketing money in the form of a marketing bank.
Attached is a quick guide to activating and maintaining your Certified Sandals Specialist Status. This is the year to focus on selling more Sandals and Beaches Resorts so you can earn MORE COMMISSION! It is also important to get as many agents trained as possible. Knowledge is power! The more you know, the easier it is to sell!
