Handing out sharp metal missiles and encouraging everyone to throw – it’s not your typical approach to team building but it worked for Travellers Choice's Business Development Managers this month.
Thankfully the missiles were targeted at a colourful dartboard in Perth's Flight Club, where the traditional English pub game has been reinvented with a range of fun and entertaining multi-player competitions designed to hook everyone from the "expert sniper" to the total beginner.
General Manager Sales Nicola Strudwick says the Flight Club experience was part of a two-day get-together designed to help the BDMs stay up-to-speed with Travellers Choice developments and ensure they continue to work effectively as a national team.
"Through workshops and discussion forums our management team personally updated our state-based BDMs on our roadmap for the year ahead, ensuring every member of the team clearly understands our company's objectives," says Strudwick.
BDMs also refreshed their knowledge of the award-winning company’s constantly-evolving products and services, with the program including presentations from preferred suppliers such as Sabre and Air Tickets.
"While our members are all fiercely independent travel agents, they know they can always call on our BDMs for support. By investing in ongoing training we ensure our team can help members achieve business growth by taking full advantage of all the benefits that come from being a Travellers Choice member."
Ultimately, says Strudwick, the annual gathering is more than a business meeting.
"It’s a reaffirmation of our values, our purpose, and the powerful impact we can have when we work together with intent."
