MasterAdvisor 73: Tips for Qualifying Luxury Clients

by Daniel McCarthy  June 16, 2023

The luxury segment can be very lucrative, but building a luxury client base, and creating repeat business, is more complicated than it sounds.

Steven E. Shulem, President of Strictly Vacations and a luxury travel advisor specializes in high-luxury cruise experiences. With a 32-year career in the industry, he has earned a reputation as one of the world’s premier experts in luxury cruise travel. He joined TMR recently for MasterAdvisor Episode 72 to talk about his career, including how he got into travel, why he prefers to text his clients rather than call, and why he only ever sold luxury vacations.
