Travel Counsellors Blog

When you start your own business, there is a lot to think about. But there are plenty of fun things to be done too, and one of these is creating your very own office.

Autumn is here, the kids are back in school, and the daily routines for some have become full of school runs and after school activities. And of course, let’s not forget everything else that needs to be done throughout the day.

No longer is work defined by the daily commute into the office before retreating into a room for eight hours, only emerging for a coffee break and lunch. Instead, we’re seeing a shift in mindset, one that embraces remote working and flexible hours.

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new programme tailored to industry professionals with experience in customer facing roles, but without previous experience selling travel to clients.

We look at the reasons why an increasing number of companies are formalising “bleisure” travel policies and the benefits it can bring to your clients.

The ‘myTC’ app is just one of the digital tools our Travel Counsellors have at their disposal. Since its launch, the app has seen a 20% increase in the conversion rate of quotes to bookings, when compared to other digital marketing tools.

Caring and kindness are not just ‘nice things to do’ – this is a key trend showing a customer that you care like a friend, be that through face to face interaction or sharing such positive stories on social media.

We're focused on utilising technology to enhance personal relationships, not replace them. See how we do it here.

So far this year, our Travel Counsellors have packaged over 1,200 bookings directly with our DMCs through our in-house booking system Phenix, compared to 400 throughout 2016.
