Not Just Travel to put ‘millions’ behind agent support initiatives
Not Just Travel has unveiled plans to invest “many millions” in training, support, data and technology to help its consultants grow their businesses
The homeworking brand announced the investment during a Platinum Get-Together event on board Virgin Voyages’ Scarlet Lady earlier this month, where more than 130 of its top consultants were recognised for their achievements.
Co-founder Paul Harrison said: “We’ve announced multimillion jaw-dropping innovations throughout the day, every day. We’re doing far more than what anyone is doing right now whether that’s across travel, franchising or indeed any business.
“No-one is investing in their members like we are; no-one takes so many consultants on incredible trips, invests more in training or develops such cutting edge technology.”
The cruise travelled from Barcelona stopping in Toulon, Marina De Carrara, Rome, and Ibiza from 8-15 September. The event also included 16 business strategy sessions, VIP networking, and shoreside activities crafted by Virgin Voyages.
Consultants enjoyed fireside-style sofa chats and media strategy training with TV broadcaster and company spokesperson Eamonn Holmes OBE, as well as brand ambassadors Olympic champion Daley Thompson CBE and TV presenter Hayley Sparkes.
“This event enables us to have mature conversations with established consultants who want to elevate their businesses further,” Harrison added. “These members are confident, and successful and share our vision and strategy.
“As well as recognising success, we’ve exclusively unveiled a raft of exciting initiatives each day, including our new dynamic quotation tool with TProfile, and look forward to developing the next phase of their businesses together.”
Not Just Travel ‘continues to amaze me’, says first-ever consultant
Holmes added: “As well as collating great content for The Travel Podcast alongside my co-presenter Hayley Sparkes, I’ve been using my decades of experience to provide agents with media and video presenting tips.”
Not Just Travel consultant Agata Wiencis, the first-ever consultant to join Not Just Travel in March 2010 and is one of the company’s most successful multi-million members, said: “Despite running my business for many years, there are always new things to learn.
“This event has been a supercharger for my company; it ensures we are focussed, efficient and further improves on the exceptional service we provide to our clients. Since I first signed my contract with Not Just Travel over twenty years ago, Not Just Travel continues to amaze me with roll-out after roll-out of new programmes and pioneering initiatives.”
Earlier this year the company reported a “significant” surge in cruise sales, with a 64% increase in revenues and a 25% year-on-year rise in the number of bookings for holidays-at-sea made in January.
