Common problems

Where travel agents lose bookings.

Enquiries arrive on every channel

A trip enquiry can come through WhatsApp, an Instagram message, Facebook, the website form or a phone call — and the dates, party size and budget end up retyped into three different places.

Quotes go out and then go quiet

Most travel enquiries are compared against another agent or an online price. Without a follow-up in place, the quote you spent an hour building is often the last contact you have.

Balances and documents tracked by memory

Deposits, balance due dates and traveller details all carry deadlines. Tracked in a spreadsheet or someone's head, they get chased late — or chased twice by two different people.

No prompt for the next booking

Travel is repeat business on an annual cycle. Customers who booked last September rarely get asked this September, because nothing in the process remembers to ask them.

Enquiry flow

From enquiry to confirmed booking.

1

Enquiry received

From the website form, WhatsApp, a social message or a phone call.

2

Trip details captured on one record

Dates, destination, party size and budget stored against the customer.

3

Acknowledgement sent immediately

Confirms the enquiry has landed and sets expectations for when the quote follows.

4

Quote sent

Pipeline stage moves to "Quote sent" so nothing sits unattended.

5

Follow-up sent automatically

A timed check-in while the customer is still comparing options.

6

Booking confirmed

Stage moves to "Booked" and the post-booking sequence begins.

After the booking

What happens once they have booked.

1

Deposit confirmation

Booking summary and a clear explanation of what happens next.

2

Balance reminder

Sent ahead of the balance due date, with a second reminder if it passes.

3

Traveller details requested

Passport details and lead passenger information chased until returned.

4

Pre-departure message

Final details sent shortly before travel, without anyone remembering to send it.

5

Welcome home and review request

Sent once they are back — the point at which people are most willing to leave one.

Useful automations

Automations built around the travel calendar.

Travel runs on dates — quote, deposit, balance, departure, return. Each one is a point where the follow-up can be scheduled rather than remembered.

Enquiry acknowledgement

Instant reply confirming the enquiry and when a quote will follow.

Quote follow-up sequence

Timed check-ins after a quote goes out, until the customer decides.

Balance due reminders

Scheduled against the due date rather than tracked manually.

Traveller document chaser

Repeats until passport and passenger details are returned.

Welcome home and review request

Sent after the return date, when the trip is still fresh.

Annual rebooking prompt

A message timed to when they booked last year, before they look elsewhere.

Peak season

The busiest weeks are when manual follow-up fails.

Enquiry volume in travel is not evenly spread. When several weeks of the year produce a large share of the bookings, the follow-up that gets skipped is the follow-up on quotes sent during those weeks — the ones most worth having. A system that sends them regardless of how busy the phone is removes the trade-off.

Recommended plan

DIY Essentials or Business Builder.

DIY Essentials covers enquiry capture, acknowledgements and basic follow-up — enough for a homeworker handling enquiries alone. Business Builder adds the longer sequences that travel depends on: quote follow-up, balance reminders, document chasing and rebooking prompts.
