Hickory Global Partners, a global corporate travel alliance for travel agencies, corporate travel departments and corporations, has partnered with sister company MGME to launch an official commissionable referral program.
The referral program allows Hickory members to have their clients partner with MGME for corporate events and pair travel and event sales to earn additional commission of at least 4 percent.
Hickory Global Partners has over four decades of experience in the corporate travel industry. MGME is a leading corporate event management and production company that hosts over 500 events a year across 70 countries, with prestigious clients such as IATA and HBO. Both companies are owned by InteleTravel, the oldest and largest host agency in the world.
“This referral program will not only help grow both our members’ and prospective members’ business with their existing client base but also help them solicit new business,” said Chris Dane, President of Hickory. “We are experts in corporate travel, and this ability to fully partner with MGME through commissionable referrals is further helping us gain a complete product offering for our members and prospective members.”
Through the new partnership, Hickory clients and partners will have access to MGME’s in-house creative services, management support, event production, analytics and more.
“Joining Hickory in this referral program has already proven to be very beneficial for our teams,” said Carvie Gillikin, President and CEO of MGME. “The ability to offer our partners both full-fledged event planning, as well as travel accommodations to and from these events through Hickory, has made both parties more well-rounded and knowledgeable about what our clients need.”
