EMAIL INTRO Referrals(Required)
The retreat strategy is based upon the referring agent making an OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION via email or social media as the official record of referral. PKR cc’s referring agent on correspondences, places the guest into the marketing campaign, and your new collaborative team work together to promote the retreat experience.
Guide Priorities Statement of Understanding.(Required)
1) No Referral Booking = No Benefits including access to lodging, meals, transportation… 2) Any guide successfully referring a guest on specific trip shall receive first trip option priority; 3) Any guide that successfully refers a guest shall receive the third sequential priority option for pickup trips; 4) Select local professional guides shall receive sequential priority for pickup trips. *Scarlett Multi-sport Clause... Scarlett shall receive secondary trip option priority on any multi-sport trip as trip success strategy as our in-house multi-sport expert.
Understanding Sustainable Group Sizes(Required)
1) I understand that multiple groups may book the retreat at the same time as a strategy against low numbers and to achieve sustainable operational numbers; 2) I understand exclusive groups (10 or more) require an advance deposit. Exclusive groups have the option to operate trips independently with custom options; 3) I prefer the safety net of promoting smaller numbers of 1 to 5. Small numbers give independent referring agents the ability to operate trips with numbers as low as one guest by operating trip parallel to our existing trips. For example, Blue may promote two booking guests on an intermediate kayak trip that operates the same itinerary as a scheduled intermediate trip. This gives the referring agent the safety net benefit of operating with low numbers under our cooperative model. Yet, an individual instructs his/her/their guests independently.
We understand this is a lot to process. Please describe what specific questions you have. Feel free to email [email protected] to speak with someone in person.
