WHY DO AN INCENTIVE
A rich, exclusively branded travel experience is the perfect way to strengthen ties to your respected customers or inside sales team, reward high performing employees or show gratitude to the “Best of the Best” with a President’s Circle of Excellence trip.
We understand that businesses are faced with challenges to increase morale, retain top talent, increase sales, strengthen relationships and achieve results. We also believe that we can partner with you to bring many unique and exciting incentive travel ideas to your table that touch emotions, drive your participants to achieve goals and to be part of an experience that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Since launching Sutton & Associates in 2001, we’ve worked tirelessly to create utterly exquisite destination incentives that perfectly reflect our clients’ vision – right down to the last detail. Expertly styled, seamlessly managed, and meticulously planned, these are incentives with a difference – “The Southern Touch.”
LIZ’S JOURNEY:
Everyone has a story and turning points that brought them to where they are today. Likewise in my story as well. Despite my insistence that “I will never work in the family business”, my dad creatively invited me to try it out for two weeks after graduation. I was hooked! Working in the “family business” under my dad for years taught me so much about working with people, respect, kindness, empathy, integrity and the importance of a PMA – “Positive Mental Attitude”. This was an integral part of growing up in our family and all nine of his children still live this daily. I did not realize how many invaluable lessons and values he was imparting day to day and feel so blessed to have worked with him.
Moving to Washington DC early in my career to become certified in the travel industry and the Society of Incentive Travel (site) opened doors to meeting and engaging with the brightest minds in our industry. My certification and involvement nationally in our industry led to the privilege of serving on multiple travel industry boards including multiple cruise lines, hotels, American Express, and most recently the Travel + Leisure Magazine board for which I served over 20 years. These opportunities introduced me to how the industry works at multiple levels and to key individuals. many of who serve our industry today!
