Trafalgar offers travel agents incentive for doing e-Learning

Trafalgar Tours expanded its e-Learning travel agent program with two additional programs, bringing the total to four, and introduced an incentive to encourage agents to participate.

According to Trafalgar’s President John Severini, the e-Learning program has succeeded in increasing the sales performance of past participants. Since the program was initiated in September 2005, 3,000 travel agents have participated, according to the company.

Agents who complete the two new modules by June 15 are eligible to win a trip for two on Trafalgar’s seven-night Best of the Canyonlands tour. They’ll also receive a certificate that names them as a Trafalgar Super Agent Specialists.

The first module, based on a Snakes and Ladders game format, is on the subject of selling tours. The second module is called “Myth Busters.” The third module, also based on Snakes and Ladders, focuses on Canada and the U.S. And the fourth is called “Dare to Compare: Touring versus Self-Drive.”

The training modules are available online and each module takes about 15 minutes to complete, the company said. The training has been effective in helping agents boost sales.
