Suite of innovative AI tools empower advisors to streamline workflows
and boost efficiency
Fort Lauderdale, Fla. (November 25, 2024) – At the Dream Vacations National Conference aboard Celebrity Ascent, franchise owners experienced the latest AI-driven tools designed to elevate productivity, streamline marketing, and enhance client engagement. Education is the foundation for attendees to understand AI technology and to ensure it is used to its maximum potential.
To help franchisees fully leverage the power of AI, Dream Vacations hired LinkedIn Learning’s most popular AI instructor to speak at this year’s Conference to educate and inspire the utilization of AI. Renowned AI trainer, Dave Birss was flown in from the UK to provide hands-on guidance and share best practices and strategies for integrating AI effectively into business. Birss led multiple workshops so advisors could gain the skills and insights needed to drive business growth and remain competitive in an ever-evolving market.
“AI is a powerful tool, but we want to make sure that our network can put it to use with confidence. Offering resources is one thing, but we felt it was critical to provide our network with one of the most revered trainers, so they know how to effectively use this cutting-edge technology,” said Debbie Fiorino, chief operating officer of Dream Vacations. “While we have invested in a robust suite of AI tools, this is only the beginning. We are always researching, enhancing and launching new technologies, so that our advisors can spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time building client relationships and expanding their business.”

It builds upon the foundation of predictive index technology the network has been utilizing for years, such as Cruise Fare Watch.
