Businesses thrive on meetings. In such gatherings, so many important decisions are made, effectively setting the course for the company to take and indirectly influencing the fate of many employees. Frequently, the bosses find it more productive to take the people involved out of the regular work environment to bring them somewhere inspiring and, consequently, more conducive to creative and imaginative thinking. Whether the purpose of a meeting is to analyze and brainstorm or to network and train, travel is always a good component to throw into the mix. However, organizing an event is already a very involved and meticulous task; doing it in a far-off locale certainly magnifies the trouble. For this reason, it’s good to partner up with an agency that is dedicated to managing and executing successful meetings and other corporate travel programs for a wide range of clients. Given the nature of meetings and incentive travel, a company needs to make sure that everything goes smoothly so that it can get its money’s worth in this particularly expensive investment. It’s definitely paramount to guarantee that an experienced and competent professional handles its account. Choosing the agency to work with is key. It should have a vast and varied experience in handling different travel programs, be they intimate in size or impressively large-scale, held in a domestic or an international location, etc. Meetings vary in nature. There are sales meetings, investor meetings, POAs, board of directors meetings, product launches, training seminars, etc. Many companies choose to host these gatherings in popular holiday spots. Not only does it garner interest and commitment, it also lays out a positive foundation and the right energy for congregating and accomplishing the meeting’s objectives. In most cases, it’s ideal to have a dedicated account manager who can offer flexibility and personalization when it comes to preparing, organizing, and managing meetings and incentive travel programs. It’s a good idea to have just a single point of contact so that everything comes together more cohesively, from the conceptualization phase to execution, and even to post-event evaluation. This way, a company can rest assured that a meeting or a reward trip is realized in the most effective and efficient manner. It works best for a company to hire a service that has a wide range of clients and, thus, capabilities as well. Whether a client wants something simple or completely over the top, an excellent quality agency can be counted on to deliver. Knowledge, skills, tools, and an abundance of resources… your company can access all of these by partnering with the right service in organizing and executing travel events for your people.
"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. Qualifying for the "trip" was a motivating factor behind many end of year sales pushes. I will use Beverly again in the future."
