Asata needs you!

ASATA is urging agents to complete their skills profile online. Jacqui McKnight, Asata Professional Programme manager, said the response had been good to registering on the Professional Programme system – 2 380 agents have registered online – but not enough have completed skills profiles in order to measure their professional development. Asata is trying to measure the overall skill level in the industry but it needs a sizeable number of agents to participate in order to get a clear picture of the industry’s proficiency.

This series will be examining the ‘hard sell of travel’ and will include profiling your customers and closing the deal. • Johannesburg - Conferencing on Katherine – Wednesday November 15 – three sessions - FNB Training Centre – Saturday November 18 – 09h30-12h30 • Pretoria – Holiday Inn Pretoria – Thursday November 16 – morning and afternoon session • Cape Town – MTN Science Centre – Tuesday November 21 – morning and afternoon session • East London – Hemmingways – Wednesday November 22 – afternoon session • Durban – Elangeni – Thursday November 23 – morning and afternoon session • Bloemfontein – Premier Protea Bloemfontein – Tuesday November 28 – morning session Lucy Siebert (lucys@nowmedia.co.za)
