“SAA is delighted to partner with TravPRO on this new training program to further promote our services to Africa through the AfricaPRO portal,” said Marlene Sanau, vice president, sales in North America for South African Airways. We are excited to be launching this product and are confident that this new training tool will allow travel advisors to grow their sales on SAA through further in-depth knowledge of our service, products and destinations.”
“The fact that the platform has both a one-to-one training mode, and then repositions the content into a ‘customer mode’ to support selling SAA more effectively is what really sets this solution apart,” said Jonathan Cooper, founder and CEO at TravPRO Mobile. “Additionally, we also include critical information on the various regions of Africa, told in a tight and compelling way to fully engage advisors. This is a fantastic resource for those that want to sell more Africa.”
