Hi, do you handle family trips to Turkey in July? Two adults, three kids.
Yes, we do! July is a great time. So our designer can put together the right options: roughly how many nights, and are you thinking a city stay, a beach resort, or a mix?
Ten nights, mostly beach, maybe two days in Istanbul.
Perfect — I’ll note a 10-night trip with a beach resort and a two-day Istanbul stop. Would a 30-minute call with a travel designer this week work to shape the itinerary?
Yes, Thursday evening if possible.
Thursday 6:00 PM is available. I’ll send a short trip-brief form beforehand so the call is focused.

Quote comparisons
Travellers comparing several agencies, where follow-up is decisive.

Travel leaks
Where travel agencies lose bookings
Travel enquiries are slow decisions with fast competitors.
Common leaks
- Enquiries answered late because designers are with other clients.
- Trip briefs captured incompletely, so quotes miss the mark.
- Quotes sent with no follow-up, so travellers book elsewhere.
- Supplier confirmations chased manually or forgotten.
- Payment and document deadlines missed.
- Past travellers never re-engaged for their next trip.

- MonFamily enquires about a July trip
- WedA beautiful itinerary is sent
- Next weekNo follow-up; the family is comparing other agencies
- LaterThey book with the agency that chased

FAQ
Questions, answered
Can it build itineraries?
No — it captures the trip brief (dates, travellers, budget, preferences) and hands it to your travel designers. Itineraries and quotes stay with your team.
How does it handle supplier confirmations?
It tracks the confirmations, payments and deadlines you approve, and reminds the right people so bookings are not left dangling.
Will it chase quote follow-ups?
Yes. Travellers often enquire with several agencies, so a structured follow-up cadence is where bookings are won.
Can it handle group and family trips?
Yes. It captures the group size, ages and needs, and routes complex bookings to the right designer.
Does it work with our booking tools?
We build around common tools and general CRMs and are honest where a native connection is unavailable.
Is it suitable for a small agency?
Yes. When designers are deep in itineraries, the agent answers enquiries and keeps follow-up moving.
