I mentioned last night, that you can create as many cruise leads as you want at NO cost via Facebook.
Now I’m not a big fan of Facebook – but this is a resource for leads. Here is now.
Go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/feed/ – then go to the top/left corner click ‘Search Groups’ enter
“Carnival Cruise”
“Royal Caribbean”
“Norwegian Cruise”
You will find over 300 FB groups in EACH of these 3 group categories. Join 1 or 2 FB Groups.
I am in one Norwegian Group, and I posted a question with a picture. Within 24 hours I received 200+ comments. Here is another suggested post that will get a ton of replies from people who love to cruise:
If you could schedule any cruise, which cruise ship would you pick and which ports would you stop?
If I reply to 10 per day (of course in private chat, not on the Group Timeline) it will take me 3 weeks!
These are people who want to cruise, love to cruise. You’re not going to find people who do not want to cruise. Nor will you find people who are afraid of cruises.
Are you going to signup everyone? Of course not. But if you keep fishing and keep the conversation going you will.
Here are some suggestions on what to say in private chat:
1. Thank you for your comment on my post…
2. You said you liked the “Observation Lounge” what is that?
3. Which port did you sail out of?
4. How often to take a cruise vacation?
About my 3rd private chat I send them, I ask:
May I ask, are you a travel agent?
Another transition question is:
I joined the largest Cruise Membership Club in the world, and I get $100 Cruise Credits for FREE every month. Now I have thousand of Cruise Credits and ready to cruise. Are you a member of this Cruise Membership Club also?
Be kind.
Compliment them.
Don’t send your website link unless you get their permission.
Have fun and do 5-10 of these every day. If you keep fishing, you’ll catch some keepers.
