Not only are our customers seeing dramatic savings, but also with Rearden's Personal Assistant, there is a substantial increase in traveler productivity from the calendar synchronization and notification features. " Hilary Roberts Executive Vice President - Campbell Resources “My sales guys will now focus on selling Rearden Commerce and Expense. Wire, and sometimes say, by the way, we have airline tickets too. ” Jeff Smith Owner and President - Travizon (Top 10 TMC) “In 7 weeks I sold $9 M of net/new business leading with the Rearden platform from a total of 19 accounts ranging in size from $500 K-$1. 2 M in air. I have never had that success rate before. Cindy Sauter Vice President Sales - Atlas Travel “I should change my company name from Vanguard Travel to Vanguard and just sell the Personal Assistant. ” Lori Raduenz President - Vanguard Travel “If TMCs just handle business the traditional way and don’t look at other avenues to provide more value to clients, our industry is in danger of becoming obsolete. For instance, we can now offer dining services to our clients that help them save money. And before now, who ever would have thought their TMC could help a customer secure an outstanding rate for their audio and Web conferencing? This is where the industry is headed and having these capabilities puts Morris Murdock head and shoulders above our competition. ” Becky Potts President - Morris Murdock Travel. © 2008 Rearden Commerce, Inc.
