Hey everyone!
This week has sent me into a tail spin! Its been very busy and i've had my hands in many different projects. I have been working at the Strategic Meetings and Incentive's office putting together welcome packs for our multiple different incentive trips. I have learned alot about incentive trips and how our biggest clients are insurance companies. These companies send their biggest sales people on very exclusive, all expensies paid trips. They are called "winners" and these are the people who sold enough insurance to win a trip and then they are allowed to invite one guest to go with them. The trips I have been working on are going to the Bahamas, Maui, Puerto Rico and also Greece. To make sure all these trip run smoothly, there are multiple different steps to go through. We first print out all the documents that the attendees will need such as the program itenerary that the trip will follow, what activities they will be doing, tip sheets for the destinations they will be visiting as well as their plane tickets and brochures.
I also have been in charge of making luggage tags for the trip as well as magnets to send to the insurance company winners and guests. All these documents are then placed into nice portfolios which are then mailed to their house. We gather as a team and use an assembly line to make sure every document is in each pouch and then mailed to the correct address. These last few days have been very high stress!!!! Its been a blast to get to see the behind the scenes production line and be a part of all that goes into these trips! To get a better idea of how we work with our customers the Strategic Meetings and Incentive's website is great! http://www.strategicmeetings.com/
Hope everyone has been keeping busy and enjoying their internship too! Look forward to hearing from you guys!

You have been very busy! I remember how busy it always gets right before meetings, but some how before every meeting our printer would break from "working to hard" so we had to plan accordingly around that :P Does your company always plan the trip for these organizations or is this your first reward trip for them?
ReplyDeleteMy company has many repeat companies however we have 4 companies that we work with year round to plan their partners retreats and also the incentive trips. They Are MoreDirect, Direct Alliance, Insight and Cable One. This companies are all very similar and very fun to work with. They have such great ideas of what they want their trip to be and that gives us even more room to explore ideas and make them wonderful and enjoyable trips!
