As part of our global travel management proposition, we held a virtual GlobalStar Showcase week from 28 November until 2 December.
As a UK specialist and one of GlobalStar Travel Management’s Tier 1 partners since 2017, we utilise GlobalStar for any global customers, who need local business travel experts around the world. Through this vertical model, it gives our customers access to best in class TMC’s in their overseas markets, so they can benefit from the local knowledge that is often missing from larger, global TMC solutions.
Throughout the week, our people had the opportunity to meet the GlobalStar Executive team through a series of online sessions, covering case studies and live Q&As, so they could ask questions and learn more about our partnership and the expansive GlobalStar network. Our teams were given access to some fantastic resources, dedicated intranet pages and the opportunity to win some prizes throughout the week.
“Our GlobalStar partnership is an important part of our overall sales proposition; it gives us a niche competitive advantage as a UK specialist, that enables Agiito to compete with other ‘mega’ global agencies. Likewise, by starting locally, there is also the opportunity for growth globally with this fantastic alliance,“ explained Ryan Gray, Director of Business Development at Agiito.
“As our people seldom have visibility of the sales tender processes, we were delighted to hold this showcase, not only as a learning initiative, but to also meet and get to know the people behind the GlobalStar brand – after all, our people are an extension of our sales team. Our partnership is continually strengthening, and we are currently helping GlobalStar grow, via the use of our in-house meetings and events expertise and technology to help shape GlobalStar's
venue finding strategy and we are discussing further opportunities for future growth together.”
“The UK is a key strategic market for GlobalStar, so it’s important to engage with each and every Agiito employee able to develop layers of knowledge and expertise at a local, regional and global level. This depth of knowledge, combined with global consistency, really sets the GlobalStar proposition apart and allows Agiito’s clients to ‘Go Global. Stay Local’," added Chris Weedon, Vice President of Global Sales & Services.
GlobalStar supports us and the global market by complementing our position as a top 10 agent in BTN Europe’s Leading TMCs 2022, with global representation in 2,500 locations across 55 countries.
