Business Opportunity Grant Contest from British Airways
The British Airways has always been doing a link so that transacting business on anywhere in the world would be so easy and comfortable. They serve mostly the businessmen traveling to have a face-to-face meet up with business partners and clients. British Airways always believes on the power of a face-to-face interaction in business leads to a more firm transaction and most often a sealed one. Recently, they partnered with The Harvard Business Review in a collaborative research and the study shows that 87% of professionals think that face-to-face meetings are essential for sealing the deal, while 95% said it's the key to successful, long lasting business relationships. In the wake of the global recession, businesses have cut back on travel. However, in-person meetings and interaction remain an integral part of growing and sustaining business. The problem is that while people realize there is value in face-to-face meetings, they may not be fully aware with how critical they are to sealing the deal and building relationships. They also may lack the proper backing to justify travel costs.
British Airways is proud to announce its Business Opportunity Grant. This will help people connecting business anywhere in the world and affirms the airways commitments. They are giving away 100 companies, a year of opportunity. Known for its support to small businesses, each grant consists of a year’s worth of Business Class travel anywhere British Airways flies. Additionally, each winning company will receive business support from their partners. These have been conceived with the aid of the collaborative research done by The Harvard Business Review that asserts the power of a face-to-face transaction in a business.
Businesses and companies especially here in the Philippines must be aware of this secret in business. You must try the Business Opportunity Grant of British Airways and experience the power of face-to-face transaction with the comfort of all-in packages. It is so easy to join the contest, simply apply by September 30th by telling them about your company and answering a few short questions about your objectives for 2010 and how a grant would help grow your business. Should your company win, you will have all of 2010 to turn your grant into new business opportunities. Good luck.
To sum it up, the Grant includes:
• British Airways airfare for 10 round-trip Club World business class flights.
• 5 free British Airways World Cargo freight shipments of up to 500 kilos to worldwide destinations
• $1000 toward accommodation at Courtyard by Marriott
• 5 Regus Businessworld Gold Cards providing access to business lounges worldwide
• Canon PIXMA MX860 Wireless Office All-In-One Printer
