Travel Vouchers and Incentives
I’ve seen and heard a LOT about travel vouchers lately – they are a hot topic, so let’s talk about them. Incentives are a great tool for growing your business – but you have to use them properly! Whether you’re offering a travel voucher for a nice trip to several destinations or a new set of Tupperware – there are rules that govern how you can use these incentives. Please read this and share with your team.
PlanNet Marketing does not allow our Reps to incentivize the sale of the ITA product in any way. That means you can’t give a prospect a discount, a gift, or any other thing to try to entice them to purchase the InteleTravel ITA product. Why would you NEED TO?! The InteleTravel at home Travel Agency is an amazing product that can stand on its own! No “extras” necessary – if someone doesn’t see the enormous value found in this amazing product, a 4-day, 3-night getaway isn’t going to convince them in the long run either.
What if you just love using travel vouchers and giving away free trips and other stuff? You still can! Feel free to use travel vouchers or other incentives to grow your online following, to entice people to attend your meetings or webinars, to encourage your team members to get competitive…just don’t tie the incentive to someone purchasing their own ITA.
