Harrisonburg,
VA – February 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / C.A.R.E., the Cooperative
Association of Resort Exchangers, has officially opened early bird

encouraged to attend and while members receive preferred registration rates,
all registration rates are very affordable and budget friendly, for those
that may be interested in attending to see what C.A.R.E. is all about.
The
semi-annual opportunity to attend a C.A.R.E. Conference ended in 2018 when
the association debuted its inaugural annual conference platform. Post
conference surveys rated the first annual (2018) conference higher in satisfaction
than C.A.R.E.’s last four conferences and C.A.R.E. is striving for more
of the same in 2019! C.A.R.E. attendees are sure to gain valuable contacts,
noteworthy knowledge from multiple keynote presentations and industry centric
sessions, a plethora of networking opportunities and fast-paced experiences.
Your affordable conference registration will include all meals and an action-packed
agenda to include three keynote speakers, a tour of RCI’s Call Center,
a “Kiss the Bricks” tour experience at the Indianapolis Motor
Speedway and a conference venue in the heart of beautiful downtown
Indianapolis, Indiana.
The
first of three keynote speakers will be on Sunday, May 5th with Emmy Award
Winning Executive Producer Bill Stainton headlining with “The
5 Best Decisions the Beatles Ever Made…and Why You Should Make Them, Too!”
Stainton will combine music, video, and hilarious audience interaction
to help you take your own team to the “top of the charts!” Bill says, “Success
is not a result of “luck”, “a fluke”, or “the breaks.” It’s the result
of specific decisions – decisions that every leader needs to make!”
Next
up on Monday, May 6th, with a Master of Arts (MA) in Human Resource Development
and Marketing, Andy Masters, MA, CSP will show attendees how to
“Kiss Your Customer: 77 Reasons Why Sales & Service Are Just Like
Dating & Relationships.” With first hand travel experience and
knowledge, Masters will take attendees on a journey through the highs-and-lows
world of relationship-building, utilizing the clever irony between business
and romance. Today’s customers want to hire experts they can TRUST, who
can truly HELP them. However, customers also hire people they LIKE.
With
a host city of Indianapolis, Indiana, C.A.R.E. is excited to have RCI’s
participation in the city where their headquarters were established nearly
45 years ago. Monday, May 6th will be deemed “RCI Monday” to include
