Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Internova Drives Travel Advisor Sales Using Data and Targeted Marketing
Q: Now, we're going out to travel advisers, they're listening. What marketing tools are actually moving the needle for your advisers right now?
Three main tools: sharing customer lists to enable personalized outreach and lead generation, building robust advisor profiles on travelleaders.com to attract new customer leads, and leveraging SocialShare Pro to post timely, branded content on the advisers' social channels while keeping the call to action tied to the retailer.
How Internova Drives Travel Advisor Sales Using Data and Targeted Marketing
Q: Your data is so good, and you're working off of the data, so everything you do is calculated properly. But what I want to talk about this is, how are you explaining the value of your advisors to the suppliers?
The value comes from using household-level intelligence to tailor both consumer-facing messages and B2B communications; the goal is to educate advisors so suppliers see higher ROI, with communications that are directed back to the retailer rather than generic travel leaders, and to demonstrate how educated advisors sell more by knowing destination specifics and what products they promote.
Sponsored Interview: Princess Cruises - New Ships, Iconic Destinations & the Advisor Advantage
Q: What programs exist to help advisors sell Princess more effectively?
Advisor education is central, including LoveFest roadshows, Seminars at Sea on ships, and the Princess Academy led by Jen Weber, which collectively build confidence, knowledge, and a stronger selling position for advisors.
Sponsored Interview: Princess Cruises - New Ships, Iconic Destinations & the Advisor Advantage
Q: What opportunities do eight Alaska ships create for advisors in tailoring experiences for clients?
Eight ships provide broad choice and the ability to match every client to the right ship and itinerary, from round trips to northbound/southbound routes, with options like cruise tours to Denali, all backed by Princess's deep Alaska DNA.
Sponsored Interview: Princess Cruises - New Ships, Iconic Destinations & the Advisor Advantage
Q: How should advisors describe what makes the Sphere Class stand out, and who's best suited for that ship?
The Sphere Class represents the next generation of Princess ships with bright, modern design, elevated spaces, and a strong premium positioning that resonates with both new premium clients and multi-generation families, backed by innovative tech like Medallion Class.
