MTA Travel Platinum Elite travel advisor Kendall Roberts recently earned $1,000 in Rewards by Viking points after inviting a client to attend the cruise line’s Alaska & The Inside Passage Virtual Explorer Session.
Her client, David, was randomly selected as the major prize winner, receiving a complimentary companion cruise fare valued at up to $10,000.
It’s a great example of how a simple client invitation can deliver benefits for both the traveller and the advisor. In addition to the major prize, Kendall also earned the standard Virtual Explorer Session incentive for her client’s attendance.
“To share the Virtual Explorer Sessions with my clients and give them a direct insight into my role as their travel advisor was something fresh and encouraging,” Roberts said.
“Most importantly for me, participating in the webinars helps enhance my product and destination knowledge. Having the opportunity to win a Viking cruise was a fantastic incentive to attend. To hear and feel their excitement, along with their gratitude for having this opportunity, was very special and a fabulous way to finish the week.”
The win also comes at a timely moment, with Viking’s next Virtual Explorer Session, France’s Finest, taking place on 16 July. Advisors who invite clients to attend will give them the chance to win a complimentary companion fare valued at AU$12,000, while also putting themselves in the running to receive AU$1,000 in Rewards by Viking points if their client wins.
Two additional sessions will follow later this year:
- Viking Homelands – 20 August (companion fare valued at up to AU$15,000)
- Capitals of Eastern Europe – 24 September (companion fare valued at up to AU$11,000)
