The deadline for travel agents to complete their online submissions to enter the awards is 14 May. Here are hints and examples to help you write the best possible entry this year…
If you or one of your team has truly gone above and beyond in the past year – particularly against the extremely challenging backdrop of the Coronavirus pandemic, then we want to hear about it.
We aren’t expecting to hear stories of impressive business growth and bumper sales but instead want to hear about agents who have gone the extra mile for their customers and colleagues, and proven their resilience.
We have five different agent categories you can enter (all for individual consultants, not the whole agency), and there are just three main questions to answer. You can write a nomination on a colleague’s behalf but you will need lots of detail about them. Here’s what to expect in the online form, plus tips on writing an award-winning entry:
Question One focuses on customer service, where you will be asked to give specific examples of having gone above and beyond the call of duty for customers in the last 12 months and how you have adapted to manage the demands of the pandemic.
Question Two focuses on your commitment to ‘fairer travel’. TTG Media’s mission statement is to promote a ‘fairer travel industry’ and we want to know how you work towards achieving this. There are three key areas to consider:
Question Three looks at your business resilience, and asks how you have thought ahead and considered how you will come out of the pandemic stronger.
