So, what’s it all about?
Our BDMs are a fundamental part of our business. You’ll be wearing many crucial hats – all at the same time! You’ll be a:
Master Mentor
You’re a natural, born leader who gets the best out of people. You’ll be looking after a team of 60-80 travel consultants (TCs). You’re not their boss, but you’ll be there to guide them, teach them and support them every step of the way as they grow their travel agency businesses from home. No TC is the same. You’ll get to know each and every one to understand how they tick. They all need nurturing in their own way and you’ve got the social skills, the patience, the empathy and the sense of humour to do it.
You’re driven by success and more importantly driven by helping others succeed.
Clever Coach
What you don’t know about the travel industry isn’t worth knowing and you’ll be passing this on to your team of TCs. One day you might help them identify the right supplier, the next you’ll be talking them through how to use the technology. But you’ll also be helping them personally, coaching them to build the confidence to get out there and find customers and ask for business.
Business Advisor
You’ll recognise a business opportunity from a mile off and you’ll teach your TCs how to do exactly the same. Are they tapping into all the opportunities to find new customers? You’ll encourage them to spot gaps in the market and advise them on how to go out there and plug them. Together you’ll set clear, step-by-step proven strategies to not just fulfil their goals but to surpass them and along the way you’ll hook up to assess and reappraise how it’s all going.
Savvy Sales Person
Closing a deal is a skill that you excel in and you’ll be teaching your TCs the art.
But it’s not just about clinching the sale, you’ll ensure your TC’s keep a close eye on their bottom line. It’s all about maximising customer engagement, driving up average booking value, referrals and repeat business.
Creative Communicator
You’re a smooth talker. You’re an excellent communicator who can explain the most complicated issues in the simplest of terms. You’ll be full of praise for the wins and full of motivation for those facing hurdles. You’re an influential and dynamic motivator with a can-do attitude who energises people to want to do better. You pick them up when they fall and give them the confidence to go again. You’ll help them realise capabilities they never realised they had.
Magical Marketeer
You’ll collaborate with our marketing team to ensure your TCs have all the tools of the trade to shout about their business. You’ll work with the marketing team on maximising campaign plans for your TC’s so they have all of the support, training and assets they need. Your TCs will be embracing social media with their Instagram Lives and their creative TikToks.
Customer Service Guru
The customer is always king and you want to make sure your TCs provide their clients with an exceptional travel experience. We’ve got standards – and they’re high. You want all your TCs to be aware of the guidelines and match up.
Data Analyst
You’ll be a whizz with numbers. You’ll be tracking the progress and performance of all your TCs identifying areas for improvement and giving them feedback. You’ll also keep an eye on the trends to see what’s in, what’s out, what’s hot and what’s not.
Benefits:

You’ll be based from home, making occasional visits to our towers in Bournemouth, joining us on one of our legendary overseas training retreats or hooking up with one of your TCs.
