Storybook: Signature Travel Network's AI Tool Puts Client Engagement on Autopilot
LAS VEGAS - At the end of Q1 2026, Signature Travel Network will soft-launch Storybook, an AI travel-planning tool built to help advisors share experiences and products with clients while running as a continuous, passive marketing engine.
Unveiled at Signature's annual conference, Storybook is a digital platform where advisors can share multimedia content live or via a link clients can revisit anytime. As Karen Yeates, Signature's executive vice president of information technologies, put it: "It's emotional engagement that makes you and your brand more memorable."
What Storybook Is
Storybook centralizes photos, videos, sample trips, and product highlights into a single, shareable experience. Advisors can present live, then send the same link as a follow-up so clients can review, share with a partner, or come back with questions.
The outcome: your best content works 24/7 without extra follow-ups, and prospects keep returning to the same place to advance the conversation.
Why Sales Teams Should Care
Memorability drives deals. Buyers who feel emotionally connected are more likely to take action and stay loyal. Research supports this approach to selling and service.

Practical Ways to Use Storybook on Day One
- Pre-meeting warm-up: Send a Storybook link with themed itineraries, short supplier clips, and FAQs so prospects arrive informed.
- Live walkthrough: Host a quick session using Storybook to showcase options and confirm preferences in real time.
- Post-call follow-up: Share the same link with a brief note recapping decisions and next steps to keep momentum.
- Referral lift: Ask satisfied clients to forward the link to a friend who's planning a trip.
Prep Checklist Before the Q1 2026 Soft Launch
- Curate your best multimedia: photos, short videos, testimonials. Confirm rights and client consent.
- Group content by theme: family, luxury, adventure, honeymoon, and top destinations.
- Create short storylines: 5-7 slide flows that move from problem → possibility → proof → next step.
- Collect product proof: room categories, perks, and supplier highlights clients ask about most.
- Add clear CTAs: "Pick your top 2 dates," "Choose A or B," "Book a 15-minute consult."
- Document the process: where the link sits in your sales sequence and how you note progress in your CRM.
Metrics That Matter
- Response rate to Storybook links sent after first contact
- Time from first presentation to decision
- Attachment rate of higher-margin experiences (tours, upgrades, insurance)
- Referral mentions tied to shared Storybook links
What This Means for Your Pipeline
Storybook gives you a reusable content asset that makes prospects feel something, remember you, and move forward. Every presentation becomes a persistent touchpoint. Every link extends the sales conversation without adding extra work.
That's the edge: consistent storytelling that stays in front of clients long after the meeting ends.
