HOTEL BOOKING + CAR BOOKING = revenue By simply adding one car or hotel booking through the Travelport platform, you could see an impact across your business. The following table illustrates the additional commissions you could be earning based on incremental bookings.

+ earnings Travelport Smartpoint gives you fast access to the best options for your customers, providing the highest commission opportunity for your agency. + efficiency Because you can search and book more productively in your Travelport Smartpoint workflow, you’re working more efficiently and adding value by spending more time with your customers.

Top tip for making one extra booking Searching for hotels by address This capability allows agents to search for hotel properties using partial street address in addition to the other location parameters. This removes the need for agents to search and book outside of our Travelport Smartpoint platform when searching for hotels within a surrounding area based on a specific location. January 2017

My career has been very good to me and I have a lot of great things because of it, but today it was truly something great for me. A family member has been trying to visit mom and me this week. After countless flights cancelled or delayed and being stuck in multiple cities she finally got here. The airline treated her so poorly and now all she wanted was to gain an extra day on the end of her journey for all that she missed. I was able to go to someone I have connected with through my career and help her get that extra day for free. No hassle to her, just a little work from a friend of mine. You would not believe the happiness inside my house tonight. I won't name names, but I can't thank this person enough for helping out my family with a flight. It's moments like these that get me through all the extra hours and time lost because of work. I am lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people.

Morning David, looks like you were looked after while I was away. Good stuff.

Judy.

I just want to let you know, that Reshma called me yesterday and updated the exchange application in no time.She is extremely good , very knowledgeable at what she is doing, and beside it , she is a sweetheart. Now I am up to date, and this application looks like a very good tool to help us with exchanges.

Thank you and best regards, Irene K Hi Dwayne,

Thank-you again for yesterday – please forward this note to your manager for me.

I would like to compliment Dwayne for his fast and efficient customer service yesterday while helping me book a flight home. We booked the flight from Fort McMurray to Ed- January 2017 monton through WestJet several weeks ago after a three day event. A few hours before the flight left, the airline cancelled it due to airplane safety issues. While I agree that safety is always a top priority, the WestJet rep was unhelpful in finding a return flight that afternoon and I found that unacceptable. They also failed to let me know the flight was cancelled – I found out through a third party app.

I then emailed Dwayne asking for his help in finding me another flight. He called me within 10 minutes and booked me a flight for 8:40 pm that night with Air Canada. He also stayed on the phone until I had successfully checked in online, and offered to con- tact WestJet to get a refund on the original flight. He had (and has) such a friendly de- meanor – I really appreciate his customer service in helping me get back to Edmonton with minimal delay. In my opinion, he is doing a wonderful job and I hope you take the time to appreciate him for it – good people are hard to find and he is a keeper.

Thank-you again. It is a pleasure working with you.

Until next time!

Heidi Dirksing Territory Sales Manager, Northern Alberta
