Travel Counsellors launch Discovery Day

Travel Counsellors launch Discovery Day

Travel Counsellors has announced it will host a Discovery Day event following an increase in agents joining the company to run their own home-based travel businesses.

Travel Counsellors are encouraging Melbourne-based agents interested in working from home on their own businesses to get involved and take the first step towards reaching their potential by attending the event to learn more.

The Discovery Day will include a champagne reception and informal lunch as well as a tour of the office.

This ‘open day’ style of event allows interested travel agents to meet the company’s support team in order to learn about everything from how the team use technology to stay connected while working remotely to the support systems in place to ensure Travel Counsellors thrive in their businesses.

Guests will also have the opportunity to link up via webcam to one of the company’s Travel Counsellors for a live Q&A session to find out more about what life is like running their own travel business. They will also sit in the audience for the company’s own daily live webcast TCTV, which keeps agents updated about the company and industry news.

Travel Counsellors’ managing director David Hughes said the event would be ideal for those wanting to learn more.

“We have seen a marked increase in agents interested in joining Travel Counsellors, so these events give them the opportunity to learn more about working from home with Travel Counsellors while meeting the team that would support them in their business,” he said.

“These informal events also enable us to demonstrate the marketing, business development and IT support we provide, and answer any questions people might have in a relaxed, friendly environment.”

Victoria-based Travel Counsellor Matt Schmitz joined the company in October 2012 after attending a similar event, and according to him, jumping straight in and learning the ropes was a very important part of starting.

“Being able to meet the staff at head office and have my questions answered honestly was very useful,” he said.

“As soon as I walked in I felt at home and once it was time to leave I felt like I had met friends for life. I would encourage anyone wanting to get real insight into this career path to attend the Discovery Day, as it certainly helped me make my decision and I haven’t looked back since.”

The Melbourne Discovery Day is free to attend and open to all travel agents interested in learning more about working from home with Travel Counsellors.

Here are your key details:

Date: Wednesday September 9

Time: 12.00pm – 3.30pm

Address: Travel Counsellors Head Office, Level 4, 34 Queen Street, Melbourne 3000
