NTA's Fast Pitch Session Serves Up More Business

NTA is giving tour suppliers the chance to reach more buyers and form new partnerships with NTA's new Fast Pitch session, set for the afternoon of Monday, November 16.

Many times, there are tour operators who suppliers want to target but, because of scheduling hierarchy and time limitations, Tour & Travel Exchange appointments are filled with perfect matches and Fastpitchoperator requested appointments. So, we've created this time block exclusively for tour suppliers to pitch new business to operators that you've targeted.

With NTA's Fast Pitch, suppliers can visit with more of their requested operators in an introductory meeting that can open the door to more business down the road. In this session, suppliers will have 5-minute prescheduled appointments with operators that they have requested but were not scheduled for the Tour & Travel Exchange. That means that you can reach more of the targeted operators that you requested than ever before.

How it Works

There is no added effort required to take advantage of the Fast Pitch session and pick-up even more appointments and new business partners. Here is how it works:

 

There are no separate appointments requests for tour suppliers to make. Any supplier-requested appointment that goes unscheduled for the Tour & Travel Exchange will automatically be eligible for the Fast Pitch session. Therefore, it is critical that tour suppliers submit a complete list of appointment requests to maximize opportunities for both the Tour & Travel Exchange and the Fast Pitch.

More prescheduled supplier requested appointments — another way Convention '09 lets you work smarter!
