Business Travel – The Way You Want It!

Starting out with a Travel Management Company (TMC) can be daunting, there are sometimes trust issues and the various levels of services available and associated fees can be a minefield to negotiate and understand!

I’d like to offer you personalised Travel Management and Business Travel, the easy way and as you want it.

If your employees are booking their own travel, you’re missing opportunities to improve efficiencies in your business when it comes to your travel wallet. It’s not a secret, it pays to outsource your business travel!

Here are some of the financial benefits you can expect when using a TMC:

1. You will release your employees to focus on the job they are there to do (the average business traveller wastes half a day looking up flights, comparing prices and airlines and finding hotels for each trip)

2. A TMC will have access to lower priced air fares and hotels than you can source yourself

3. The initial purchase price isn’t always the main consideration – you will be informed about costs involved in changing a ticket and flexibility of your arrangements

4. Your personal travel manager will be a professional in the industry and knowledgeable about airlines, destinations and travel trends. You will often be given advice that is priceless.

5. A TMC will be able to critically analyse your business travel spend and identify areas where you can save money

6. Flexible payment terms to suit your business needs, no credit card bills to pay, or interest incurred

When you come to me for your business travel needs you can rely on me to implement your travel policies to your exact requirements.

A client focused and personalised service makes it easy for you to tell me exactly what you need and for me to follow your guidelines and policies.

If needed I can assist with writing a Business Travel Policy which will help to guide your employees through the travel booking process and ensure you’re in control when it comes to how much they spend, reducing travel costs and giving you peace of mind that travellers have the flexibility and freedom to book independently with me but remain within your guidelines.

I will tailor my service for each and every member of your team – ensuring that their dietary requirements, frequent flyer accounts and other travel preferences are always taken into account.

Using a TMC allows you to have everything related to travel in one place. From managing bookings to analysing data:

• Your team can access travel information and contact me online, by phone or through our fantastic travel app, myTC.

• Having me as a single point of contact also means you have just one relationship to manage and one bill to pay for all your travel requirements.

• You can keep track of where your employees are going making it easier to ensure they are prepared for meetings before they travel.

• Business reporting is available, and invoices can be produced in line with your finance department requirements.

• Personalised room requests, preferred seat allocation and frequent flyer consideration is all as standard

Get in touch! I’d love to chat about how we can make your business travel effortless again.
