What our advisors are saying after attending the Group Sales Summit

“Building groups can be intimidating unless you have the tools. This conference gives you the tools for success and a roadmap on how to get there. Even though I’ve been doing groups for a few years, I gained new contacts and solutions to help my groups flow more smoothly and even more fun!” Karen W.

“I learned so much. The realization that I should write a business plan (or amend my current one) to include selling groups had never occurred to me. I loved the opportunity to brainstorm with the other people at my table and that each table had a mix of travel advisors and suppliers. Hearing the ideas from a supplier’s viewpoint was priceless.” Alana L.

“Attending the Group Sales Summit allows you to network and learn from our supplier partners and fellow travel agents in a smaller, more intimate setting. You walk away looking at your business with fresh eyes and new tools to help you grow a more successful agency.” Denise D.

“I would recommend the Nexion Group Sales Summit to any Advisor who is looking to grow or expand their group’s business. The knowledge & tools gained were invaluable- and presented in a way that made it easy for me to follow and visualize implementing in my business. The access to our fellow advisors & supplier partners and the wealth of knowledge & experience they so selflessly share is phenomenal! I left with a clearer understanding of the steps I need to take to help me take my group sales to the next level!” Lindsay S.

“Love it! So worth my time. I feel like the training hit on each element of what goes into group travel work. It was a fire hose for sure. I wanted to walk away with a few great nuggets to implement, and instead, I filled pages and pages!” Christie C.

“I can’t imagine anyone NOT benefitting from this summit. There is something for everyone…even if your niche is not groups. The ability to connect with other colleagues and supply partners is invaluable. The information presented applied to all our businesses.” Russ W
