Today's vacation travel customer is increasingly invisible to hotels, resorts, cruise lines, and destination marketers. Tom Martin, http://conversedigital.com takes you through a proven process -- Painless Prospecting -- that leverages the current consumer trend of self-education to help you continue to win business from today's vacation travel buyer. Presented at the First Annual Turks & Caicos Social Business Symposium, Tom's presentation is adapted from his new book, The Invisible Sale (http://www.TheInvisibleSale.com) and showed Turks & Caicos businesses how to leverage the power of Propinquity, social media, content marketing and social recon (audience profiling) to find, market to and convert self educating invisible vacation travel buyers.
