I have ventured far and wide in an attempt to satisfy this insatiable desire to travel. I became a travel agent 15 years ago and was blessed enough to clear a path for my very own agency 13 years ago. Over those years, I was immersed in destination weddings from the Caribbean to Mexico. I learned so much about what the destination wedding industry offered and I realized that there was still something missing. Wanting to open doors in the wedding industry I found a way to stand out by incorporating my heritage into my passion for travel. Awards range from Top Sales producer for Palace resorts on a global scale for 2016 and 2017 to GIVC 2 Diamond producer for Karisma, Have received the Mentor award from Destinationweddings and the specialist of the year 2018.

Tammy Selee, Concerts at Sea
[/vc_column_text][spacer][vc_video link=”https://vimeo.com/329219467″ el_width=”80″ align=”center”][spacer][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/5″][vc_column_text]
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4/5″][vc_column_text]ABOUT: Tammy Selee is celebrating 39 years in the travel business and for many of those years was instrumental in promoting and escorting groups, mostly senior citizen who wanted to travel to all parts of the world. She wanted someone to not only design the trips but to also lead the groups for not only peace of mind but to assist with any needs that might come up during the course of the trip. A chance meeting with Paul Revere of Paul Revere and The Raiders, one of the most successful groups of the 60’s, changed the direction of her career. Paul was approached by NCL to do a 60’s theme cruise called Rock Around the Ship in the early 90’s. I decided to work with NCL and promote groups from the Idaho area, and worked closely with Paul Revere and the local oldies radio station. After several successful years, NCL decided to get out of the theme cruise market. Having meet many of the onboard entertainers and passengers, I decided along with Bob Harmon to continue this project and create Concerts At Sea. In 2020 Concerts At Sea will be celebrating our 27th year of producing a music theme cruise in the Caribbean. We work as a large group within an already existing sailing, and for the past 8 years have been sailing onboard Princess Cruise Lines with over 700 passengers on each sailing.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”4/5″][vc_column_text]The secret to establishing meaningful relationships hinges on your response to three silently asked questions. Knowing this “secret” has the power to change your life for the better.
When you meet prospects for the first time they will be asking themselves three questions: (1) Can I trust this person? (2) Do they know what they are talking about? (3) Do the care about me?
All you have to do is address these three questions with some positive behavior on your part. First, refrain from eye-art. Hold eye contact. This is an indication of trust and self-confidence. Second, don’t guess. Speak the truth and state the facts as you know them to be true. Once you are “caught” in an untruth your credibility will be lost. Lastly, show total and unwavering interest in your audience. Lose the pronoun “I” and replace it with “you.”
You do this and you will be well on your way to establishing long-lasting and meaningful relationships.
