While travel advisors have tons of resources in this industry (webinars, specialist courses, BDMs, etc.), one of the go-to ways to gain new intel is by networking with fellow travel advisors. VAX VacationAccess is aware of the wealth of knowledge only an advisor can acquire, and we wanted to give you a platform to be able to share these insights with your peers. Enter: the Community.
“The heart of our industry is relationships, and over the years we’ve watched how travel advisors engage with each other and the increasing value they put on the relationships with their peers,” said Sarah Kneisler, director of marketing and operations at VAX VacationAccess. “With our simple promise of enabling travel advisor success, we knew we needed to help provide a way to further enable these peer relationships within our travel marketplace.”
The Community is a place for new and experienced advisors to engage with not only their peers but also their brand partners. Need help with a recommendation for a client? Want to offer expert advice to a new advisor? Looking for insight on a specific room category at a resort? Head to the Community to find what you need.
Current categories included in the Community are Peer Insights, Advisor Announcements, Educational Opportunities and New to the Industry, with more to come in the future. Advisors can use these forums to ask questions, share tips and inspire and support each other.
The vision for this platform has been in the works for a while, and it only made sense to have it located where advisors are already logged in on a regular basis.
“It’s a place travel advisors are already spending time, a secure location behind a login and a professional environment to host their discussions,” Kneisler said. “We’ve had this vision of making our travel marketplace a more engaging community for a long time, and we’re thrilled to finally bring that to life.”
The Community is in the early stages, and there are plans to grow this space as advisors continue letting us know what they need. As conversations expand and new categories are added, we hope it becomes a go-to resource for all advisors to utilize.
“We’re still building momentum and plan to continue kicking off new conversations and topics, and we hope to see you all engage,” Kneisler said. “Our network of more than 220,000 advisors now has one more spot to propel the success of their small businesses that power our industry.”
