How long have you been with Cruises Inc? I joined Cruise Inc. in 2011.
Current Occupation: Accountant and Travel Agent
Did any of your accounting skills carry over? My accounting background definitely helped in being detailed, organized and setting up the accounting to track my business.
What inspired you to start a travel agency? Prior to joining Cruises Inc., I was always the appointed organizer of travel for family and friends, so I was somewhat familiar with vacation planning. I figured why not make additional income for something that I’m already doing and enjoy.
What do you like best about being part of Cruises Inc? I like Cruises Inc.’s affiliation with parent company World Travel Holdings, which is a powerhouse in the travel industry. This prominence provides us with exclusive offers and partnerships with every major travel supplier. In addition, I like that the back office support is always there for agents.
Advice for somebody thinking of joining the Cruises Inc. business opportunity: My advice is to understand that this is a business which requires time and energy to expose your brand and market your services. Additionally, it is a constant learning process.
What is the best part about the support you get from Cruises Inc.? I like the fact that we have extensive training available to us and most of it is free. Also, I like that I am not alone in this business, I have constant support and guidance, if I need it.
What’s your Dream Vacation? My dream vacation is to take a full month to travel various countries in Europe. I want to immerse myself in the different cultures of Italy, Spain, England, France and Germany.
