Speed dating passport

Agent Name: Agency:

Supplier Workshop Saturdays’ supplier workshop operates on the ‘speed-dating’ principle. All the supplier tables will be numbered sequentially: 1, 2, 3 and so on. There will be two morning and two afternoon sessions, each of which will be divided into 10-minute segments. When each segment gets to the 8-minute mark, an announcement will be made that there are just two minutes ‘wrap-up’ time left on the clock. This affords each supplier sufficient time to wrap up their presentation and get agent participants to fill in the answer to that suppliers’ question on their ‘passport’/questionnaire. A countdown clock will also be displayed on the main screen up on stage to help you monitor your timekeeping.

All Rights Reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including photocopy, recording, or any information storage and retrieval system, without permission in writing from the publisher.

Publisher’s Note: Whilst care has been taken in compiling the information contained in this passport, the publishers cannot accept responsibility for any errors or omissions. © Travel Centres 2014.

When the 10 minutes are up, all agent participants are expected to move on to the next numbered table in the sequence. e.g., if you are sitting at table 11, you then move on to table 12. If you are at table 30 and that is the highest numbered table in the room, then the table that you move to is table 1 and so on.

You are not allowed to move from table to table in a haphazard or non-sequential manner as this creates problems for other suppliers and other agent participants throughout the day and diminishes the effectiveness of the speed-dating process.

Please read the following rules/briefing notes carefully as any agents found to be in breach of them throughout the day will be excluded from the prize-draw.

All ‘passports’ are collected at the end of the last session of the day (16.45-17.00), and these completed documents are used to select winners for several of the prizes given away at the end of Saturday afternoon.

This ‘passport’ contains the following:

‘Passports’ will only be considered valid if they contain ‘visas’ for not less than 28 suppliers — four less than the possible maximum of 32 ‘visas’. Because of the time constraints being imposed as a result of the awards section during the evening, the lucky winners of the prize draw will be selected under strict supervision (two supplier witnesses) and announced immediately at the end of the supplier workshop.

1.

A list of each supplier who is in attendance at the workshop, together with a brief description of what they do (handy for suppliers that you are unfamiliar with or who you do not currently do business with)

2.

A question based on the content of the presentation delivered to you during your 10-minute ‘date’ with that supplier, together with a space to insert your answer. N.B. There is no question for Travel Professionals Skillnet and the same question applies to the following brands as they are, in effect, the same company: A2B Transfers/Resort Hoppa; Best Holidays in Italy/Discovery Puglia; Crystal Ski/Crystal Sun.

3.

A place reserved for that suppliers ‘visa’ sticker, as proof that you visited that supplier. Each ‘passport’ document must contain not less than 28 ‘visa’ stickers out of a possible maximum of 32.

Because there are more suppliers than there are sessions, no one can possibly see all suppliers. For this reason, staff attending from each agency should not sit together at each supplier table. You need to split up in order to cover all the suppliers present, between you — i.e. if person 1 sits down at table 5, then the second staff member should be at least 10-15 numbers away, e.g., table 20.

Prize-winners’ names will be announced and shown on screen, along with a list of the prizes on offer and who they have been donated by.

As each prize-winners name is announced, they will be invited to approach the stage and choose their prize from a selection of sealed envelopes — thus accentuating the level of surprise upon opening and also making the distribution of the more valuable prizes more random and thus fairer!
