Incentive Trip - once in a life time prize!

Delegate sales executive

Pros

I was very grateful to win the latest incentive trip, where all 9 top DSE's flew out to Munich for Oktoberfest. The competition lasted for 5 weeks and was fair for all DSE's as the newest members of the team received a handicap. Spending 3 days in Munich, experiencing the traditional festival with all expenses paid for, was a once in a lifetime trip. It was great to build a stronger relationship with my coworkers and feel appreciated for the work I do.

Cons

No cons the opportunity was amazing and I can't wait to see what the next incentive trip will be.
