Daily Life of a franchisee
As a GoCruise & Travel franchisee you will start off by building a customer database to sell holidays by means of networking within your territory. By networking we mean getting infront of as many people as possible, collecting customer details and sharing your expert knowledge with them – giving them the confidence to book their holiday with you.
