Custom FIT operator Avanti Destinations is launching a new tool that will get advisors a quote in four minutes or less.
The tool, called InstaQuote, can be accessed either through Avanti’s advisor portal or website. Advisors simply need to fill in their client’s departure city, destinations, number of nights, hotel star rating, and email address to generate a quote.
Advisors will need to log in to modify or book the vacation, but even those not logged in can access the tool. Clients can also use InstaQuote via a QR code provided by Avanti to see the cost of a potential vacation. While four minutes is the maximum time for each quote, most are generated in 30 to 90 seconds.
Avanti is also offering white-label functionality for InstaQuote, so each email will feature the advisor’s agency name, contact information, and logo.
“InstaQuote is the latest in our technological enhancements to simplify booking complex FIT itineraries,” said Nate Guilfoyle, director of web services at Avanti. “We can also build a live quote over the phone in real time. Other FIT companies have to check with their suppliers and get back to you. We also allow you to build a complete quote with no passenger names required.”
