This is our third blog dedicated to exploring the RFP process and helping you get prepared. Having previously explored the pre-work needed before going to RFP and how to assess a supplier’s portfolio, we’re now diving into the deep end: How to bring a care-led approach to your RFP process.
We explore what ISO 31030 is, its critical benefits, and why aligning your travel risk management policies with this standard is key in helping to safeguard modern business travellers.
Continuing our blog series around the RFP process, we wanted to delve deeper into the cultural fit of a TMC, and how you and your business fit within their client portfolio - so you can better decide whether a particular corporate travel provider is going to be the right choice for your business.
If you’ve read the previous articles in this series, you’ll know by now that we’re on a mission to redefine care in Business Travel. We’re concluding with a deep dive into what we think the new definition of care should be, and why it’s important to put it into practice if you want your business travel programme to strategically support the growth of your business.
In case you missed any of them, here are the key updates from Travel Counsellors for Business over the course of the month.
Travel Counsellors for Business is pleased to announce the appointment of Wayne Durkin as the new Head of Business Development. Wayne Durkin brings over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry with a focus on business development and the SME market, having previously held the position of Director of Business Development at CTM.
The final factor we feel is impacting the need to redefine care, and arguably one of the most prominent in our day-to-day lives, as well as the business travel industry, is technology. Technology has transformed business travel over the past 20 years, but how do we integrate technology into a care-led approach? That’s what we’ll explore in this blog.
RFP season is fast approaching. Whether you’re currently looking for a new partner or it’s something further down the track, it always pays to be prepared. We’ve asked experts from across the Travel Counsellors’ community, and the wider industry, what advice they would give to help prepare for an RFP.
