Redesigned “NexionTown” Provides Community for Agents
NexionTown is the first piece of the company’s comprehensive technology upgrade to be rolled out to agents.
Irving, TX (March 24, 2016) – Today, Nexion® – the travel industry’s premier host travel agency – officially announced the successful relaunch of its NexionTown social networking community. As part of Nexion’s company-wide technology initiative announced in October of 2015 at CoNexion, NexionTown is the first major completed portion of the project now available to Nexion members. The completely revamped NexionTown makes it easier than ever for Nexion agents to stay connected and collaborate with other Nexion agents, select suppliers and Nexion staff.
“[Nexion Town's] significantly more robust and provides an even easier way for our agents to ask questions, seek advice, and share their knowledge and best practices with one another.”— Jackie Friedman, President, Nexion
“Our entire technology upgrade is being developed with one thing in mind, our travel agents. Whether an agent is a great marketer, blogger or enjoys writing FAM reports, the more Nexion agents engage with NexionTown, the more powerful it will become,” said Jackie Friedman CTC, CTIE. “Because of everything we’ve developed around this ‘new’ NexionTown, it’s significantly more robust and provides an even easier way for our agents to ask questions, seek advice, and share their knowledge and best practices with one another. It effortlessly connects our independent travel agents and subject matter experts, and, ultimately, will help our Nexion agents increase their sales and exceed their customers’ expectations.”
NexionTown has been designed to be similar to other social media platforms but with its own distinct Nexion flair. As with most social media platforms, users set up a personal profile, follow other users, join groups and have the ability to post information to their profile that appears on their followers’ personalized feeds. Upon logging in, NexionTown users, or “Townies,” immediately see featured blog posts written by other agents or Nexion staff, as well as featured events and important information about the world of travel.
As Nexion agents explore the site, they will discover vast opportunities to collaborate with each other. Townies can join or start a group based around a specific topic, association or geographic location, post a question to the community or commit to attending future events. The platform also breaks down geographic boundaries, allowing agents to connect from wherever they’re based throughout the United States and Canada.
“This investment in technology is vital to our members, and the relaunch of NexionTown shows we are out of the starting blocks,” stated Nexion Vice President Robbi Jumaa Hamida, CTA. “The strategic plan will provide more exceptional tools, a state-of-the-art platform and a level of support that will help their businesses continue to grow. The next two years are going to be very exciting, and our agents are going to be blown away.”
