Course Title: Bsp Consultant
This is one of the most underrated positions in any travel agency today. To handle this position you must have most of the knowledge that a travel consultant has , and sometimes more !
You must have accounts knowledge , as well as what any principal ( airline ) wants on any given day. For that you can use electronic sites like TI ( Travel Info) , but you must endeavor to keep up to date with all the changes that occur on a daily basis.
With the advent of more electronic STD’s this position has become more vital in any travel agency than ever before.
It certainly has not become a paperless world , in any case there is now more paper and more manual controls that this employee must handle.
It is now also a case of daily reconciliations and not only once a week with your weekly STF.
In a smaller travel agency this position is normally handled by a single employee , but in the bigger agencies more than one person normally handle this position.
If you are a perfectionist , love leaving last out of the office and love accounting and dealing with the principals directly ,( most of the time on a daily basis ) then this is the position for you.
