Having marketing and reservations in one central place- completes the sales circle!!

It allows the marketing initiative (or promotional endeavors) to reach fruition by being able to close a sale. The success of this combination is enhanced as the information you get from your promotional side plays a key role in being able to close a sale. Then the fluid feedback from sales to marketing and the resultant marketing response further strengthens the products position. We have found that having this exact placement of personal increases the effectiveness of both Marketing and sales equally. your Marketing team can provide valuable input regarding each and every business source mainly from the tourism trade and can therefore equip your sales department with the exact information needed to close a deal. On the other hand, the Sales department can also provide the Marketing team with valuable leads from new and undeveloped market segments. This is why we are at this stage able to achieve a 60% enquiry to booking % ration.

Having the sales team in a remote location can be difficult when it comes to logistic and information distribution from Bookings made to Reception and ultimately to the staff facilitating and hosting the end client (The Traveler) We endeavor to make this a seamless and effortless transfer of info through various daily reporting systems as well as a fully synchronized online remote viewing and booking software.
