I got this email from Doreen Toller in Alaska with Alaskan Tour Guides (below) this morning with some great comments on my new course, so I just had to call her.
Well I just got off the phone with her and boy is she excited!
Doreen was sharing such awesome tips and advice I knew would help you, so I asked her if we could stop and record it. Below is the spontaneous audio interview.
The New 2011 Tourism Marketing Success Course is now LIVE
I also summarized her key points with time markers below, if you want to laser in a certain topic.
But this short fun discussion is so profound in what Doreen shares that directly impacts you, you should listen to the whole thing now because what we talk about is time sensitive.

Who Is Doreen Toller?
Doreen is the co-founder of Alaskan Tour Guides and Toller Timbers guest Chalets and Cottages since 1995. She also bought my original e-book after watching me give a live presentation at a travel conference many years ago. She has also been in live, phone and online webinars with me, and has gotten some 1 on 1 coaching fro me too.
Did you see her video testimonial yesterday?
In a nutshell, my guidance has helped Doreen and her husband Bob have a super profitable growing tourism business they always dreamed of. 2011 sales up 45%. 2012 has some tour vans already sold out…
- Even in a down economy.
- Even with tons of competition in Alaska.
- And I’m talking Princess Cruises and all the “Big Boys” with super deep adverting budgets and an army of travel agents…
- Even though she “wears many hats running her tourism businesses.
- Even though she does her own website
- She admits the old version could have been more professional looking. (In spite of that, she’s having recording year in sales and revenues…)
Doreen has also been one of the Inner-Circle Beta testers of my new Tourism Marketing Success course coming out next Wednesday, November 16th (Oops yesterday I said the 17th).
The grand opening is going on for 7 days only from 11/16 – 11/22 because I didn’t want to have it still going on the day before the US Thanksgiving (Nov. 24th)

Here’s Doreen’s Email I go this AM.
“Hi Tim,
Lots to say, so little time. I’m headed out to Hawaii on Monday and well, traveling is a fairly big ordeal. Fortunately I have some office help this time – wow does that feel good. I can even go to the beach without having to take the phone!!
So, about the course…. Do you want to know about little housekeeping items like mis-spellings and such?
Also, I noticed that when I posted a comment through the course FB app, it posted on my page but not yours? Unless you saw it?
I can make several enthusiastic comments but I wanted your FB clients to see them right?
Now some news, I know you said it only took incremental steps in your course but, I was planning on reworking my website anyway.
Your course just happened to come at a perfect time. My new site is uploaded. There is more to do but, I cleaned up the site and improved on many things. I still have to add audio and video… that’s a story in itself but it IS coming.
So, when you get a chance take a look and let me know what you think. I left the old homepage on the server so you could go back and see the differences.
We’ll be in touch I’m sure!
Regards and Thanks!!
…and Aloha!
Doreen
Dear Tim,
A Big, Big thanks on the MASSIVE improvements to the Tourism Marketing Course! It is state-of-the-art training for those that like to see and hear effective, real-world tourism success stories and game-changing techniques. I thought the first version of this course was superb; the new format elevates the practice of tourism marketing to a new level of simplicity that tourism professionals can quickly grasp. I am digging in to this diamond mine and extracting those gems I can put into play this week! Please keep your information coming.
Thank you Tim,
Jack
