Budget optimisation with Agent Access

Let's face it, the current ways of working in travel trade field teams hardly feel 'modern'. It feels like a balance between missing entire regions, or spending on hotels and petrol to make one of your team do a 2 week trip to Scotland. And the regions you do visit are only the ones that need it by chance. We have a solution to this that is cheaper, less risky for you and will garner better results. Take a look for yourself.

How it actually works

We have vetted, trained agents living in every region of the UK and Ireland. When a store or an area starts to slip, we can send someone who's already there - no salaries, no hotels, no petrol, no two-day round trip before anyone's spoken to a single agent. You brief us, we visit, the data comes back to you. It's a set fee per visit and nothing else.

The cost difference, in plain terms

A four-person field team runs at roughly £4,773 a week once you've added salaries, NI, pensions, hotels, travel and expenses - and you pay that whether their visits are needed or in the right areas. Agent Access can work out around a third cheaper per visit (e.g. £50/visit against roughly £75), and because we only go where it's needed, your total weekly spend drops again. The same budget, with far more of it landing where it actually shifts the numbers. If you wanted to keep that same spend with Agent Access, then you'd looking at 50% more visits across the week.

Everywhere, not just the easy bits

Scotland, Ireland, Wales, the South West - the regions that get skipped because they're miles from anyone's home base — are covered like everywhere else. A poor sales week in Inverness gets the same response as a poor sales week in Birmingham.

"But are they as good as my own team?"

Fair question. Every agent is vetted and briefed to your standards, works to your guidelines, and reports back with photos and data from each visit, so you can see exactly what was done and where. You get the consistency of an in-house team and useful data every week, without the fixed cost of carrying one.

Pay for what you use

Tough month? Put more people on the ground. Quiet month? Spend nothing. No hiring, no firing, no team sat idle between campaigns. Your coverage flexes with your performance instead of working against it. Better yet, be the most spoken about brand in peak periods by focusing your yearly budget into being by far the most spoken about brand for that month.

Tell us your regions and we'll show you what targeted coverage would cost, and save, your company.
