In your travel sales calls, make sure you’re highlighting what makes your travel packages extra special! Are your tour guides more experienced? Do you have a a unique take on a popular travel destination? Your dialer will help you efficiently connect with prospects, all you need to do is be ready to share.

3. Master Your Script

Speaking of preparation, custom scripts are your friend! Make selling packages for multiple destinations a breeze with campaign-specific scripts within your dialer. Plus, with a little practice, scripts help you nail your key points while still allowing for a natural conversation to flow.

4. Build Rapport Quickly

What’s better than sight seeing? Sharing destination photos or videos in real time, or through your follow-up email campaigns can help clients take the plunge.
