One agent is being given the chance to travel on NCL’s new ship Norwegian Epic through the company’s online training programme.
The seventh NCL University course – How to Sell NCL – gives advice to help agents identify customer needs, match them to the right ship and highlight the benefits of the line’s ‘freestyle cruising’.
Agents who have passed course seven and sell an NCL cruise by February 28 will be entered into a draw to win a seven-night Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Epic.
Retailers gain additional entries into the draw with every NCL cruise they sell prior to the closing date.
The new course coincides with NCLU’s first birthday on December 1. The site has developed since its launch to include a social networking forum, a virtual student union, a blog and games.
NCL UK general manager Stephen Park said NCLU had signed up more than 3,000 students.
“The last six courses have been focused on building agents’ product knowledge about NCL and Freestyle Cruising, and now we need to turn this knowledge into tangible business outcomes – sales and commission over the key ‘wave’ selling period,” he said.
NCL has developed a ‘Top Deck’ game which enables agents to play a virtual game of Top Trumps with the NCL fleet.
