Hospitality industry veteran Tareq Bagaeen has ventured out on his own with a new business geared towards hospitality sales excellence, training, skill development and online commercial assessments.

AQedina is an Online Sales Assessment Tool (OSAT) aimed towards the revenue generating team members and is designed to bring clarity towards an individual’s or team commercial capabilities without getting psychometric in approach; a real first for the hotel industry.

Simply put, this tool provides much needed answers as to whether or not a sales person is capable of doing is job, how well it is being done, are they commercially aware of their clients – market and competitors, are they driven to succeed and whether or not they have the right tools to perform their tasks.

The OSAT has been created with various knowledge partners including the Association of Talent Development (ATD), the Institute Leadership Management (ILM) and the Learning and Performance Institute (LPI). These organisations are recognized as global leaders within the commercial and leadership fields for studies, research and talent development.

AQedina.com is headquartered in Phuket, Thailand, along with offices and partners placed strategically in Dubai, Barcelona and Washington D.C.

Bagaeen has spent the last 16 years living and working in Singapore, Thailand, Ireland and the UAE to name but a few locations; during which he has done business across the world’s key source markets and amassed a wealth of industry relations and people development expertise through engagement with passionate hoteliers from around the world. - TradeArabia News Service
