We are back with our first in a series of special episodes dedicated to TRENZ.   Applications have opened for sellers and buyers open today so it's time for you to start planning your international trade activity for 2024! We have Lou Baddiley from Rotorua NZ on the show today. Lou was a first timer to TRENZ this year so shares some great insights into what the show entails and some great tips on how to get ready for it from an RTO perspective.  She outlines her role as an RTO in the complex world of trade sales and how they support their operators in making connections with key partners from around the globe.  Lou gives some fabulous tips on getting organised for the show, how to do your follow up and how to manage getting a lot of information across in a 15min appointment.  Lou achieved some great success at TRENZ last year and if you've signed up to go and would like some extra tips, or are still on the fence about attending then tune in and see if we can convince you it's the place to be!  For more Tips on WHY you should attend TRENZ, check out our episode from last year (16/11/22), TRENZ Talk 1 - Why Should I attend TRENZ?  www.trenz.co.nz  ____________________________________________ Powered by https://www.destinatenz.com  If you, or someone you work with has a great tourism story to share, and would like to come onto the show, please get in touch!
