Her natural talent for elevating companies to the next level began in the early 80\u2019s as one of Marriott Vacation Club\u2019s first employees where she cut her teeth working with the company in its\u2019 infancy and helping it rapidly grow.<\/p>\n<p>Software Support, Inc. was next on Lee\u2019s list, working in a fast-paced entrepreneurial environment alongside the owner as they developed the first-ever, 24-hour technical support company for the emerging personal PC market. Fast forward to 2008, Lee left the corporate grind behind and launched her consulting and speaking business on a mission to help America\u2019s entrepreneurs make good decisions with where they spend their time and resources, \u201cWorking with crazy, sleep deprived entrepreneurs is what gets me out of bed at 5:00am every morning!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hired Jenn Lee as our VP of Sales &amp; Marketing, a new but desperately needed executive position, to fulfill TPI&#8217;s new direction,\u201d said Ken Gagliano, President of TPI. \u201cSince transforming from a host agency to a marketing and support agency for new and experienced travel professionals, we needed to bring in a talented individual to fulfill this new mission and Jenn is just that person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Supporting the new initiatives, TPI needed a strong individual with ample experience working in a variety of areas to develop innovative, strategic and tactical sales and marketing plans, and maintain consistent communication amongst all areas of the company during the rollout of TPI\u2019s rebranding.<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__inner\"><h2 class=\"post-cta-roar__headline\">5,800+ Rockstars Have Partnered With Us<\/h2><p class=\"post-cta-roar__paragraph\">Determine which path is right for you<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar__buttons\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=16967\" title=\"New to Biz Page\" class=\"btn--primary btn--post-cta-roar js-new-button\"><span>I'm a New Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=140\" title=\"Experienced Agents Page\" class=\"btn--secondary btn--post-cta-roar js-experienced-button\"><span>I'm An Experienced Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe old TPI only offered travel agents a better way of doing business and selling travel, but we wanted to offer so much more to our agents and preferred suppliers\u201d said Gagliano.<\/p>\n<p>The new phase of TPI now offers continuing educational opportunities for agents, providing agents tools to grow their business, connect agents to consumers through specific marketing objectives such as the Onward Traveler e-newsletter, social media exposure, TPI\u2019s new consumer-facing website where consumers are placed directly in front of a specialized TPI agent to build and book the perfect vacation, and provide the best and latest travel specials offered by preferred industry suppliers for agents to offer their clients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJenn started as a consultant with us last March; her spot-on advice and business mindset got TPI to a solid position, ready to run marathons around the competition,\u201d said Gagliano. \u201cThere was always a vision for TPI, but just recently that vision was brought to life through Jenn\u2019s hard work and dedication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agents or suppliers who wish to partner with TPI, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.TravelPlannersInternational.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travel Planners International (TPI), one of the leading host agencies in the nation supporting travel professionals, has caught a big fish by the name of Jenn Lee!
