Sales Training at TTC Headquarters

Beeing a member of the World Fair Trade Organization or International Fairtrade Association, means that we are, amongst others, comitted to continuing education and “on the job training” of our workforce. From 14th to 17th November we held our seminar for all our shop managers. Present were not only our own – TTC – sales crew, but also the shop managers from our partner organizations “Thabita Handicrafts” , “New Life Center”, “Akha Craft Center” and “WEAVE”.

We spent 3 days working very hard to cover all aspects of sucessfully managing a sales shop.
Mrs. Mitos and Mrs. Tonette from WEAVE Foundation, acted as moderators, while TTC’s own Mr. Harry acted as translator, to enshure that everybody understood everything that was said.

On the third day Mrs. Ramona Ramos director of World Fair Trade Organization Asia also appeared as a guest speaker, to further enhance our knowledge of fair trade practices.

All participants agreed that they learned a lot, and we plan to organize another similar event next year.

Our Hammocks at Mee Choke Plaza Chiang Mai

Mr. Barrie Greyson is something like the “Godfather” of our Sitting Hammck. Many years ago, starting from scratch, he, together with our own Peter Schmid developped the new improved design and weaving technique, that make our sitting hammock the best available anywhere.

Now he is back, and selling our hammocks at Mee Choke Plaza untill Sunday December 31, 2011.... But in his usual style, just selling hammocks is not enough for him, Mr. Barrie is also working on a completely new project, namely a whole lineup of new and superbly beautyfull hammock stands, for all those, who untill now had no place to hang their hammock. Here a picture of one of the prototypes. More are on their way……
