We Know What’s Right, but Don’t Often Do It

Check out this great and recent post at Incentive Intelligence. To say that this article tells it like it is is an understatement. Frankly, it is rare for anyone in the incentive industry to really say these things. You won’t hear these words from the salespeople selling you the trips, (well some good ones maybe) but that would be tantamount to forcing the client to face the truth and question whether they should even buy travel (or any award program for that matter),

Our post from last year on a similar subject may be in order here. It comments on findings from the Incentive Research Foundation Study about how customers seem to view award companies.

If all you are going to do is use your travel award supplier to manage the trip, there are many fine ones who can do just that. But if you don’t need or want to use the supplier for their incentive design and management expertise (you know, to see to it that the program works well, is communicated properly, measured and administered accordingly and sees to it that the money you spend actually provides you with a solid return) then you might as well get the cheapest price you can and hire a consultancy like Incentive Intelligence.
