Accredited Cruise Counselor
Paul Parker Completes Cruise Industry Training Program
Conway, Ar– Paul Parker, co-owner of Cruise Planners has recently completed the Accredited Cruise Counselor program with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the official trade organization of the North American cruise industry.
This comprehensive program provides agents with essential cruise product knowledge and sales skills. They earn credits upon completion of course exams, ship inspections and cruise experience.
“In addition to learning how to manage our business more effectively,” said Parker of Cruise Planners, “training programs such as those offered by CLIA, bring us up to date with the cruise industry which, in turn, allows us to serve our clients better. After all, our customers are our most valuable asset, and with so many choices available, we want to be sure to match vacationers with the right cruise.”
“This involves understanding the customer’s needs, being knowledgeable of cruise products and being able to convey the exceptional value of cruise vacations.” Parker added, “We want travelers to feel confident – and excited – about the choices they make, particularly if they are first-time cruisers or simply seeking a new adventure.”
