Cost Reduction Strategies for Low Cost Business Travel
At Teplis Travel, a premier B2B travel agency, we recognize that our clients are looking for the lowest fares, every time. So, at Teplis that’s what we deliver! But cost reduction is about more than getting the lowest fare. Teplis has one of the most comprehensive cost-cutting programs in the industry. Upon selection as your travel management partner, and at your request, we would:
- Review all existing supplier contracts and benchmark against the contracts of other similar-sized clients to determine if you are receiving the best rates.
- Perform a market-share analysis to determine if there are areas where your business travel volume warrants additional discounts.
- Begin assembling the necessary reports to begin negotiations with your major airline, hotel and car rental suppliers.
- Maximize supplier discounts through vendor negotiation and point-of-purchase discount protocols.
- Review your Corporate Travel Policy to ensure the highest degree of savings is mandated while still maintaining proper service levels.
- Begin reporting metrics to pinpoint for division and departmental executives areas where they could be saving money.
- Track unused non-refundable electronic tickets saving your company literally thousands each year, on top of the considerable savings from our liberal ticket voiding policy.
- Enroll your firm in multiple airline corporate discount programs which feature benefits such as free tickets, upgrades or elite status based on miles flown.
- Offer seminars for key travelers and travel arrangers to bring them up-to-date on cost-saving techniques they could implement.
