The people behind your vacation
“My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other’s negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people.”
That insightful quote comes from Steve Jobs, CEO and Co-founder of Apple. But as a relative newcomer to Collette Vacations, I can tell you it accurately describes the Collette team.
Pick any department (air, marketing, business development, customer service) and you’ll run into people not only passionate about travel but also passionate about delivering first class escorted tours.
That might sound like marketing speak. And believe me I am right there with you. I consider myself a pretty hardcore cynic. When I sat down for my first Collette training session, I had a hard time believing that the person in front of me (who shall remain nameless) could be so fired up about what they do.
But it was the same with the next person, and the person after that – part of Collette’s training involves sitting down with other departments and learning what they do. That way we are all on the same page, all with the same focus.
Throughout the company I’ve found the same enthusiasm no matter if it’s the CEO, Dan Sullivan or a brand new employee. And everyday I come to work I feel like I am able to contribute to something “greater than the sum of the parts.”
