Brosious will be sharing his experience gathered from a decade advising timeshare companies – from large-scale resort developers, to small entrepreneurial companies – about the importance of using efficient, advanced technology.

“I’m looking forward to addressing the topic, ‘High Tech Sales,’” says Brosious. “We’ll be taking a look at how vital the use of leading edge technology is to making a sale in today’s environment. From the use of technology to segment and communicate with prospective clients on their own terms and in their language (which may not be English, by the way), to how a resort handles social media, online reservations, check-in and how the guest’s comfort is seen to throughout their stay.  It is key to avoid the temptation of relying on outdated tools. Today’s producers must adapt to the special demands involved in handling a younger consumer base accustomed to 21st Century methodology.”
