Director of Business Growth, Outdoor Adventure Marketing
Research shows that, 80% of revenue still comes from offline bookings. Even in this digital age, many bookings often begin with a phone call. Many tour operators are too busy and reservation agents aren't properly trained to really handle phone calls in the most efficient manner.
Instead of fielding questions and answering calls, you should be taking reservations. In this session, we'll break down the elements of a tour inquiry into 4 sections and how to improve each of these sections for increased closing rates and higher purchase prices.
