Celebrity Century Fam
by Patricia Bannister (Director, OSSN Memphis Chapter)

article continued from

The attendance on this cruise was fantastic, with husbands and partners coming along with the agents. Those spouses were amazed at the amount of knowledge that they gained in the seminars. By the end of the cruise, they were more supportive than ever of their agents!

Our group even picked up another agent who was onboard from Canada, and she said that she learned so much that she is going to join OSSN just for the Web site and the bulletin board!

If you have never taken part in an OSSN fam, you’re missing a great opportunity to network with agents from across North America – and learn from the facilitator (and one another) what works and what doesn’t work in building your home-based travel business.

Go to OSSN’s fams page to learn about the latest training trips!

Here’s the very happy group of OSSN agents aboard
the “Celebrity Century” in early September!


Larry and Patricia Bannister, the hosts of this fam trip.


On these cruises, you can trade ideas and tips with
other home-based agents and learn from their experiences.


After a long day of travel, these agents enjoy some refreshments.


Many OSSN fam trips include a special reception aboard
the ship for agents and their companions.


OSSN agents are known for projecting a very professional image during their fam trips.
It’s important for the cruise lines to know we mean business!


These agents share a few laughs during the reception.


The networking continues at dinner, as OSSN agents swap stories around the table.


The “Statue of Liberty” stands next to the Eiffel Tower
on this Celebrity cruise to London and Paris.
