WHAT MAKES YOU JUMP OUT OF BED IN THE MORNING? Trying to beat the competition

WHAT MAKES YOU NERVOUS? Too much mass media focus on tragedy, crisis, crimes, etc... It slowly demoralizes millions of citizens

WHO DO YOU MOST ADMIRE? My father-in-law has to be the most admirable person I have ever met

Armando Emanuelli spent 24 years working as a hospitality management professional.  Emaunelli leveraged that experience into a rewarding franchise opportunity with ConferenceDirect. ConferenceDirect sets up events, trips and conferences for its business clients. The firm offers experienced professionals, like Emanuelli, who negotiate all aspects of business travel for its clients.

“Smart organizations are outsourcing many of theses time-wasting tasks,” Emanuelli said. “And it shows in the fast growing pace my ConferenceDirect business is experiencing.”  

Emanuelli said the hardest part of launching his business was getting started.

“When you have the military discipline, goal-oriented skills and confidence, the hard part is reflecting on why you did not try your entrepreneur skills before.”

“I also now have a consulting branch, caribbeansalesreps.com, which is currently representing airline-destination marketing, professional sport events and offering a vast number of trainings to the hospitality industry,” Emanuelli added.
He said he enjoys what he does because people remember quality service.

“The blessing of this industry is that we truly contribute towards people's lifetime memories. At the end of your journey, you may not remember all of your material possessions but you will never forget any trip you ever took,” Emanuelli said.
