CruiseBrothers.com’s Gloria Rocatelli Promoted to Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

CRANSTON, RI (April 27, 2010) - Award-winning travel professional Gloria Rocatelli has been promoted to Vice President of Sales & Marketing for CruiseBrothers.com. Just five months ago, the hiring of Rocatelli (by Steven Gelfuso, CEO/President of CruiseBrothers.com) was to be a key component in the company’s attainment of aggressive sales projections. That move has paid off handsomely, resulting in Rocatelli’s quick promotion to VP. The following growth statistics for CruiseBrothers.com – fueled in part by Rocatelli – would be the envy of almost any company, particularly in a challenging economy: • The sales team has increased to over 1400 cruise specialists • Sales have increased 50% over last year. • Land sales have increased by 30% • Luxury sales are up 20%. Nor does CEO Gelfuso see any letdown in sight, with Rocatelli playing an ever-more-important role. “With Gloria’s guidance we plan to expand the CruiseBrothers.com sales team to include additional home-based agents who specialize in ultra-luxury, river cruise and unique cruise vacations” he says. “This is a wonderful income-generating opportunity for professionals looking to enhance current income or those looking for a full-time exciting career. Working in the travel industry is perhaps the best job in the world with plenty of freedom, support and unlimited income potential.” In an upbeat summary, Gelfuso adds “We are one of the oldest and most established cruise vacation companies in the world As a host agency we give our independent contractors the best booking system available called “ezguider.” We are off to one of the biggest years in the history of this 38-year-old company. Our increases are due to innovative marketing ideas, futuristic thinking and solid, sustainable sales management on the part of Rocatelli. Our next major undertaking is to significantly penetrate the meetings and incentive group market. With Gloria’s guidance and expertise, we expect to make a strong impact in very short order.” ### About CruiseBrothers.com – Named by MSNBC as one of the "Top 15 Web Brokers” CruiseBrothers.com is one of the largest family owned cruise agencies in the country.
