Rick Rosenfeld (pictured) with TravelMBA hosted a very informative destination presentation of China, the Emirates, Israel, and Russia last month for the OSSN Chicago Chapter.
Joining Rick (far left) at the meeting were (l to r) Jeff Grieder (OSSN's Midwest Regional Manager) and the two new co-directors of the Chicago chapter: Maria Ramirez-Gregg and Jennifer Brown. (Credits: Jeff Grieder) Memphis
Patricia Bannister - the director of the OSSN Memphis Chapter and OSSN's South Eastern Regional Manager - reports that her group held two successful gatherings recently. First, Chris Dacus with MLT Vacations surprised the agents attending his presentation by putting them at the 14 percent preferred commission level for one year as an incentive to book MLT Vacations! The chapter conducted three giveaways during the meeting: an American Express gift certificate and two items from Africa that one of the agents brought. Patricia says the agents stayed talking for almost an hour after the meeting.
Then, on Sept. 3, almost two dozen chapter members welcomed Robin Mountain (shown here) with Ntaba Tours as its guest speaker. Robin explained his tour company's Africa programs in great detail - "he got everyone excited to sell his product," Patricia notes. (Credits: Patricia Bannister) |
