Incentive programs encourage better performance from employees—from your teams. They also create opportunities for mentorship, where your best workers get guidance and advice from senior leaders in the organization. They also highlight the importance of how results are achieved. And they even provide creative ways for your business to market to and engage today’s consumers.
However you look at it, your incentive program holds the key to boosting business. And when something is as important as that, you don’t want to take any chances with its development and implementation. Here are five good reasons to work with an incentive and travel solutions agency right now.
1. You will determine the ideal length of your incentive travel program.
Is it more cost-effective to plan for the long term or will it make more sense to plan for the short term? The length of your incentive travel program will depend on what your business needs and the prevailing market conditions. A year-long incentive travel program may be strategic for some businesses but if your company’s looking to promote a seasonal product or service, a short-term program might make more sense.
With the expertise of your incentive and travel services, you will determine the ideal length and get the precise results you need.
2. Your incentive program benefits from a wider variety of rules.
Incentive programs tend to get stale with the usual rules, like only the top 10 performers qualify for the trip or get their names picked out of other employees who made a sale.
Your incentive and travel services may recommend other rules to entice interest. Your incentive program could use the bid-and-make rule, wherein employees set their own goals and get rewards when these are achieved. You can also use the points system wherein every sale made in the first week receives certain points.
3. You will have access to more destinations and more activities.
Incentive and travel agencies know all the right places, i.e., attractive destinations that are also cost-effective. They also know the kind of itineraries that provide better experiences for participants; when your incentive travel participants enjoy the trip, you will get more results for your program.
4. Every trip will be organized.
Nothing ruins a perfectly good trip than hotel reservations that are not honored. With expert incentive travel planners, no detail will be left to chance. You may even get an on-site incentive travel staff to take care of any concerns participants may have with the trip.
5. You can focus on running your business.
Finally, with your incentive travel program taken care of, you can devote your time and energy to running the business. From development to execution, incentive and travel services will meet what your organization needs.
"I've been working with Bruce and his team on two projects and they've been great to work with. Bruce has helped us set up a referral/incentive program for us to roll out with our clients and strategic partners. Bruce was great to work with. He's set up a 7 tier program that allows for flexibility and he's also helped us to market the program."
"Beverly arranged and managed the early Envivio Sales incentive trips for us. Each of our events was an outstanding and motivating experience Our Sales team appreciated the attention to detail and to fun.
