Travel Counsellors had made a promise: Hit R100m in sales, setting a new record for TC South Africa, and Business Development Manager Marc de Jager would jump!
Friday morning, March 31, was no ordinary Friday morning at Travel Counsellors. It was still R4,4m away from hitting its best record that month, which had become a regular occurrence over the last year. Being a few million short of R100m seemed like a serious challenge.
Then, De Jager added momentum by offering an incentive of a different kind. He’s had a lifelong fear of heights and wanted to show the Travel Counsellors how supportive he could be. He promised to jump (with a parachute) out of an aircraft – if sales reached R100 million.
By 12h31, TC SA was R300 000 away from the R100m goal, and in a historic first, closed the month off on R106m.
TCs delivered!
So, De Jager kept his promise, and on Saturday morning, April 1, jumped from 11 000 feet in the air.
He says: “At Travel Counsellors, we believe in walking the talk. Travel Counsellors are known for facing challenges head-on and regularly stepping out of their comfort zones, and therefore it was only fair that I did something that took me way out of my comfort zone. I could not be prouder to be part of such a caring and supportive community.”
Travel Counsellors leadership keep their promises!
