How Travelsavers and NEST advisors are harnessing AI
When TRAVELSAVERS and the Network of Entrepreneurs Selling Travel (NEST) surveyed their advisors in 2023, 24% said they weren't using AI and they didn't want to.
We can't say enough about TRAVELSAVERS. Over the last year the support that TRAVELSAVERS has provided us with has been nothing short of amazing. Attending the owners retreat in Atlanta with Steve and team jump started our year. That momentum continued with the support of our business analyst Sarah-Jane and attending the ATC and travel show events in Boca Raton in June. Some of the tools that TRAVELSAVERS has offered us such as a new website and easytix have helped grow our business.
