Travel Counsellors has broken the company’s sales record, smashing through the £5 million barrier on the last day of January.
January 31 saw the highest figure achieved in a single day with £5.1m in sales, marking the first time Travel Counsellors has surpassed the £5m mark in its company history.
The news comes as the independent travel company enjoyed a record-breaking month in January, seeing a 15% rise in sales on the same period last year.
As a result, 307 Travel Counsellors celebrate best sales month in January
Travel Counsellors achieved global sales of £82m last month. In total six out of 10 of the firm’s top sales days were achieved in January 2019.
Travel Counsellors also saw record levels of bookings through its in-house booking platform, Phenix, with £2.2m in sales secured.
Booking made through the company’s directly contacted hotels increased by 10%.
Furthermore, the company saw a 40% increase in Travel Counsellor business owners booking TC Packages, which provide the opportunity to act as the tour operator and tailor-make bespoke packages with complex itineraries, supporting further business growth for the company’s franchise owners.
