“Vacation used to be a luxury; however, in today’s world, it has become a necessity.” — Author Unknown
Have you had a chance to plan your 2007 vacation yet? How about an Alaskan cruise? The top performers and their significant others from Newton, Iowa-based The Vernon Co. are headed to The Last Frontier on the water this June. Their 2006 incentive trip to the Dreams Los Cabos Resort & Spa was a HUGE hit. Corporate personnel, along with 119 trip winners and their guests, enjoyed five nights and six days of Mexican delights — complete with airfare — on the company’s tab. The group got a mix of fun, relaxation, sightseeing, educational sessions and company social activities. They toured the famous El Arco by glass-bottom boat, chilled by the pool and engaged in a Vernon Co. “Battle of the Sexes” debate focusing on the best sales techniques and strategies.
Did you take up Leed’s on their contest offer at PPAI Expo this year for a chance to win a dream vacation? To qualify for this incredible incentive, you had to visit both of their booth locations and officially enter the sweepstakes. For the contest, Leed’s is granting one PPAI Expo 2007 attendee a luxury vacation of their choice worth $20,000 as part of their “A Dream Vacation Awaits. Make it Yours” Sweepstakes. Some of their suggestions for the lucky distributor winner include: “For mountain treks through forests filled with exotic animals and an escape to tropical islands, win a Safari on the Serengeti. Stay the night in an Irish castle and have private visits with royalty and local historians. Choose a vacation to Paris and dine in the nicest restaurants, take romantic strolls along the famous Champs Elysees Avenue, and visit the countryside. Pick Spain as the dream destination and bask on the beaches and explore streets lined with some of the world’s most celebrated architecture. Whatever vacation you desire, Leed’s wants to make it happen.”
The winner will be announced soon, so check back on www.corporatelogo.com for the scoop.
Back in the November issue of the magazine, I asked which suppliers are rewarding their distributors with travel incentives. My request came on the heels of the Motivation Show, as I realized the power of travel as a sales incentive. Leed’s and The Vernon Co. have stepped up to the plate. Anyone else out there interested in rewarding their sales superstars? If I missed you, send me the details and some photos to share with our readers.
As for me, my husband and I are planning on hitting up the Flying E Dude Ranch in Wickenburg, Ariz., for a little horseback riding and R & R before the triple digit temperatures heat up. YEEHAW for vacations!
Safe travels and best wishes on smokin’ sales figures this month . . .
