WHY?

Key Account Management

The hardest business to get is the business that you have just lost!

Key Account Management

Understanding our sales calls

• Sales Call = Activity seeking new business from new accounts or existing accounts
• Service Call = Existing account providing business = update on product / hosting
• Awareness call = Emerging market, info on product, itinerary planning = They

give info to the client who books in NZ

Key Account Management

Mistakes we make

• Lack of follow up on meetings
• Key inbound operator said that less than 50% of people of the people they meet at

TRENZ will follow up

• Lack of respect for a new operator
• Every new lead has the potential to be more business for you
• Spend too much time chasing the big accounts
• A lot of the larger inbound operators have locked in tours = there is loyalty in the

market and takes time to change

• Don’t value the small accounts
• 5 small accounts giving you $25,000 loyally every year is better than one big

account of $100,000

Distribution Channel

Inbound Relationships are Key

Key Inbound partners

Before Going to Market

Identify who are the key players in the market Is your product ready to goto market?

• Commission = Are you paying enough commission to make it

work

• Yield when paying commission
• Return on investment

Go and visit the key inbound operators in New Zealand before heading overseas

Going to Market

What are we selling?

Going to Market

Going to Market

A helicopter ride or a boat ride is not what makes people come to NZ = It is the country’s entire offering

Going to Market

When going off shore we need to remember the order of selling:

• New Zealand first
• Understand your audience
• Where are they travelling?
• North Island / South Island
• Is there an opportunity to sell your product
• All to often people do the hard sell on their product without

understanding the market or clients needs

International Sales Start in NZ

Case Study Singapore = Established market

Singapore

Singapore

Market overview

• Singaporeans come to New Zealand to enjoy the open space, scenery and fresh air, with visitor arrivals topping 56,600 in

the year ending April 2018.

• Traditional peak travel seasons in Singapore are: mid-November to the end of December; the last week of May to the

last week of June; Chinese New Year; Hari Raya in July or October; and Deepavali in early November.

• Singapore’s luxury travel market offers considerable opportunity for New Zealand, with local demand of high end travel

matching the Asian-wide upswing. Key insights

• Travel agents are still the primary mode of booking for travel packages, however there is a growing trend towards direct
• nline booking for airfares and land packages.
• There is an increasing trend of last-minute bookings due to online tactical fares and lower/more competitive land

packages.

Key inbound accounts

Two Key players in Singapore Chan Brothers Group Touring = Pan Pacific Travel FIT Bookings = General Travel Dynasty Travel Group Bookings = Winchester Travel FIT Bookings = Pan Pacific / General Travel

Singapore

Singapore Market

• Need to be on the main touring route to break into the Group market
• Inclusions are generally iconic products
• Optional tours are big into the Singapore tour market
• Tour commission usually split between Guide and company
• Long history of loyalty to existing programs
• Smaller operators tend to follow the lead of larger operators
• If your product is not on the main touring route then FIT is where to look

Conclusion = Key points

• Ask the inbound operators
• The most important sales calls are with them
• Take on board what they tell you
• Is your company / product ready to take offshore?
• Does your product fit the market
• Relationships are key
• Follow up on appointments
• Check your Return on investment
• Does the trip stack up?
• Have a mentor that you can bounce ideas off?
• Don’t be scared to ask questions of people in the industry
