mdtravel's Head of Business Development, Eloise Moffett, shares five steps for convincing senior management that expert travel management is right for your company.

1. Know your company

Whether you’re a small enterprise of under 50 employees or a large company with over 10,000, each traveller will have different preferences and priorities. Some will expect a certain degree of comfort, while others will prioritise cost reductions.

Different industries require different types of travel. Some companies plan trips well in advance, while others regularly require last-minute arrangements.

Ensure that your employees’ travel expectations are aligned, with business goals at their core.

2. Build a case for action

Show that you understand your company's requirements and challenges, and identify the key difficulties faced by travellers across the business.

Examine any financial blockers, and investigate how well you communicate your travel policy to employees. Gather data on past travel successes, and areas that could use improvement.

Then create a vision of what company travel could look like with a coherent system in place. Consider efficient timelines, financial benefits, traveller safety and improvements to morale.

3. Clarify your objectives

Once you’ve gathered insights into your company’s travel goals and any barriers you’re facing, consider how mdtravel can assist you in taking business travel to the next level.
