Elliot Billsland

Associate Director of Sales |📍Santa Monica | 8 years of experience

Can you describe a memorable experience you had with a customer?

I’ve had the pleasure of working with a range of customers, from those traveling for industry leading agri-tech, down to rural parts of South America, to moving pro sports teams of 60-70 people. Most recently was seeing the fast work and high touch support for a film production fellowship. They needed support for complex international itineraries flying into LA, while remaining "fly America" compliant. Due to sociopolitical reasons the trip was cancelled. The Travel Manager did an amazing job of supporting the customer and has picked things up just this past month, to get ~30 participants out for this fellowship from across the globe. I can’t wait to see the work/films they put together and be a small part of that.

Orange County Corporate Travel Agency

Jacqueline Murphy

Orange County Team Lead |📍Huntington Beach | 9 years of experience

Can you describe a situation where you used your travel knowledge to help a client overcome a major travel disruption?

During the CrowdStrike worldwide outage, we had a client who was in Germany and trying to get home for a family wedding when his flights were cancelled. The next available flight was not for 6 days but we put the whole team on the situation continually checking surrounding airports and refreshing availability when suddenly one seat opened up on a flight out of an airport 3 hours away. We immediately grabbed the seat and issued the ticket for him and booked him a train to the airport and he made it home in time for the wedding!

Barbara Theodorou

San Diego 1 Team Lead |📍Long Beach | 33 years of experience

Can you describe a time when your travel expertise helped a client avoid unnecessary fees?

I would say that something that we always do, myself and my team, is contact a hotel when the client is cancelling within the cancellation period and request the cancellation fee is waived. We have saved our clients thousands of dollars throughout the years. The hotel doesn’t always end up helping us but most of the time they do which is excellent all around!

Joseph Marinello

Stage and Screen LA Assistant Team Lead |📍Santa Clarita | 9 years of experience

Can you describe a time when you helped a customer navigate a challenging travel situation?

Getting the cast of a reality show to Santorini plus 80 media bags there - they needed to go to Santorini roundtrip with media bags. I was able to advise them; there was no way to get the media bags to Santorini via air. They instead were going to go connect in O'Hare and land in Athens roundtrip, and then have their local fixer team pick up the bags at ATH and take the ferry over to Santorini by car. The flight to O'Hare was also too small of a plane to ensure they would get all of the bags on board, we I had them fly to Chicago the night before and their bags driven by freight. Their crew picked it up at ORD and checked all of the bags ORD – ATH and got them all there.

Matthew Curry

Principal Account Executive |📍Laguna Beach | 15 years of experience

Can you describe a time when you helped a customer navigate a challenging travel situation?

Being part of any partnership that provides support in a tough time for our travelers is really special. In the early stages of a partnership our customer advised us they had travelers who were potentially going to be stuck in country during the beginnings of the Ukraine and Russia conflict. Their dedicated agent was able to report on all travelers who’d be impacted by these events, work with the customer's internal administrator to change then secure flights and get each individual traveler out of their locations to safety. This all happened from a phone call that was answered in 2 rings.

They love the dedicated service.

 

“Our major pain point with the competitor was just the human aspect and actually having someone who also knows our team. Having Candice as our dedicated agent is amazing. I’ll just say ‘Steve’ and she’s like, ‘Ok, you only have one Steve.’ Instead of someone triple-checking, Candice is just like ‘got it, girl.’”

 

- Nicole Jones, Office Manager at Vance Street Capital

“Jacqueline Murphy has been phenomenal from Day 1, for many years now. I feel like Jacqueline is an extended part of my own team at this point. She and I connect on a nearly daily basis, she responds quickly, and is always happy to help, even when I'm needing to change itineraries multiple times.”

 

- Great Places to Work

 

24/7 support gives peace of mind.

 

"I truly do not have to worry about managing travel. I'm confident in the team assisting. The biggest benefit is that if it's a Saturday, if someone says, ‘Hey, my flight's delayed, and I missed my connection,’ I know exactly where they need to go." 

 

- Patrice Mistretta, Business Operations Manager, Eliquent Life Sciences

“Our company has worked with Jason and the rest of the team at Stage & Screen for 4+ years. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are incredibly quick to respond and have helped us book travel around the clock. Their expertise has saved us countless hours and dollars.”

 

- Natalie Whalen, Executive at Cold Iron Pictures

 

Industry expertise and experience mean a smooth transition.

 

“The entire onboarding process was extremely thorough, bringing the best, most patient customer support I have received in ages. It was well-executed with minimal confusion. The team was stacked with onboarding, the travel team, and our team, so the decisions and information were easy to figure out and move forward on each question or issue.”
