Carnival adds 180 agent engagement events in 2015

Carnival adds 180 agent engagement events in 2015
Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its Carnival Conversations travel agent engagement program with 180 additional events throughout the US and Canada in 2015.

The new 'Carnival Conversations: More Time Spent With You' program encompasses 11 road-show-style events featuring a panel of Carnival executives as well as 169 regional Carnival Conversations training seminars and events with Carnival’s sales team.

'Travel agents have responded very positively to the program over the last two years and with this expansion, we’re able to deliver exciting product training on new initiatives, including Fun Ship 2.0 and Carnival Vista, to agents on a more grassroots level,' said Joni Rein, vp worldwide sales.

All events included in the 'Carnival Conversations: More Time Spent With You' program will feature the latest product training and sales and marketing-focused topics to help agents maximize their business.

In addition, each event will have a question and answer session. The 11 road show events include panel discussions with insight into best practices in sales and marketing techniques from Carnival executives. Agents may then ask questions directly during the open microphone portion of the event.

Select regional training will be held on Carnival ships while other training will be at various land-based venues. As with the first two series of events, agents register through Carnival Passport, located within GoCCL.com, where a full list of Carnival Conversations training and events is available.
