Registration for the OASIS 2013 Sales Meeting Exceeds Expectations
Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- Registration for the fourth annual OASIS Sales Meeting & Get-Together is underway. “Attendance at the OASIS meeting has doubled every year and we are seeing that trend continue. We are already 25% ahead of last year at this time,” stated OASIS Vice President of Business Development Kelly Bergin.
The event, to be held November 13, 2013 at the New Tropicana in Las Vegas, precedes the Signature Travel Network Sales Meeting & Tradeshow, set for November 14 – 16. "By attending both meetings back-to-back, agents receive exclusive OASIS training and proprietary professional tools that can be applied immediately,” added Bergin. “These events are perfect to help jump start the year ahead and to empower agents for the busy January – March booking season."
OASIS has just reported 40% growth during the first three quarters of 2013, over the same period in 2012. Many new agents have joined OASIS, contributing to its growth and the increase in registration for the OASIS meeting.
The OASIS meeting, which is free, includes breakfast, coffee break snacks and lunch. G Adventures and Europe Express, new preferred suppliers for OASIS, will host a cocktail party following the Nov. 13th meeting. The social time gives agents an opportunity to become acquainted with one another for networking and future events.
Highlights of the meeting include:
• Announcing OASIS Agent of the Year;
• Social media guru Margie Jordan will present "How Facebook Ads Can Grow Your Business," and how simple FB ads can add fans that want what you sell. Margie will also review new FB updates;
• Advaia , OASIS web development team, will announce new website enhancements and promotion;
• Alisa Morgan, Internet Solutions Manager for Signature Travel Network will discuss new technology enhancements and the marketing options available to OASIS agents;
• Eddie Woodham, NACTA South Florida Director, and Bob Duglin, NACTA Vice President of Industry Affairs will deliver an informational presentation about NACTA.
The Signature meeting, which begins on November 14th, immediately after the OASIS meeting, includes breakout sessions, meal events and educational programs from social media experts including Sophie Bujold and Nolan Burris. We are especially pleased that Shawn Achor will be the keynote speaker. In 2012, Shawn’s research on happiness made the cover of Harvard Business Review. His new lecture called “The Happiness Advantage” began airing on PBS stations nationwide.
