Corporate Indaba Day

We offer our franchisees ongoing training to ensure their success. This month’s training covered all things Corporate.

All Travel Counsellors want to grow their business. Two of the most obvious ways to achieve this is to either; win new business and or to increase your 'share of wallet'. Travel Counsellors Corporate Travel Manager, Ian Keane travelled around the country training our Travel Counsellor franchisees. Training sessions were held in Kimberley, Bloemfontein, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Cape Town and a full day in Johannesburg.

Travel Counsellors were given practical hands on training sessions covering these topics

  • Prospecting: Looking at the use of LinkedIn for Lead Generation and Lead Qualification.

  • Key Account Management - Best practices on how to set an agenda to ensure the desired outcome were taught. Training was also given to help TCs to analyze their MI reports available.

  • Commercial efficiency

  • TC's heard from an external Supply Chain Manager who highlighted the key areas that they look for from a travel provider

  • Corporate Insurance

  • Car hire for corporates

  • TC's participated in teams. Each were given a case study and they needed to complete various tasks. They needed to review the companies travel spend and to make recommendations.

  • Then it was time for Travel Counsellors to do a Business Health Check on their own business. Using their reports, their KPIs and their own booking stats they then answered some all-important questions. This would ultimately show them what they need to do to move their business to the next level.

Take a look at what some of our franchisees had to say.

Carolyn Coetzee I love our Road shows. I always learn something from them. They make me excited to get back and to put in place the new skills that I have learnt.

I had always considered by business to be 100% leisure, but the reporting has shown me that I actually have a few corporate clients. So now using the business reports this will help me to deliver an even greater service to my corporates. Since the road show I am loading 6 new corporate companies into my system!

I am excited about my future with Travel Counsellors and I will always attend the road shows. They make me feel refreshed and ready for anything! A bonus is that I get to reconnect with all the other fabulous TC’s.

From Debbie Taylor "I loved that it was practical. It was a great reminder of the ways to find more Corporate business. I found the commercial session very beneficial. I learnt loads & I am ready to apply this to my business!"

From George Vermeulen "This was the best training so far! It was informative and I loved hearing about Travel Counsellors plans. I was reminded of many best practices that I can adopt and apply to my business."
