Don’t make booking reservations
complicated with constant
changes.
Eight out of ten advisors said that FAM trips or a
personal experience would help them sell luxury
vacations better. One advisor said that they see a
greater jump in sales of a product after personally
experiencing the product.
One in two advisors stated that they would like
higher commissions, and a similar share reinforced
the demand for removal of NCFs.
Better booking tools have also been a constant
