Feedback needed on Quote Format for the Travel Agency

Loving all the feedback!
Yes, there will be hyperlinks on the quote to help a client decide based on the hotel photos and details on some of the pages that we have posted in earlier weeks.
Phase one is going to be a little lower tech, but once complete we hope to have the quote interactive where you can select the option you want to see in the package and it will AUTO calculate to show you the price of the package .

Thank you for the feedback. It will be taken back to the team as we are still in creation mode of the quote tool.
Our goal is to have an interactive quote tool so instead of adding all these line items it will automatically calculate for them. Hard to show all that in a form here on the boards at this time. There will be links back to the site for information as well as if you are overwhelmed we are here to help.
Its always good to have many people look at something and give opinions as it helps us build a better result.

Thank you all for the feedback.

Also, everyone say hi to Annette. We’ve hired her to run the travel side of the business…which doesn’t yet exist. Annette has vast experience with destinations include Disney and Royal Caribbean. You may remember her from the WDWToday podcast, which was a thing back in the day. :slight_smile:

Did you steal her from RC Blog? Although I am not saying there is anything wrong with that :wink:

My Congratulations or Condolences :stuck_out_tongue: @AnnetteJackson and @len for coming together. Even back in the podcast days I thought this should have happened.

I am excited to consolidate my touring and reservations with one company that understands my uber planning tendencies.

Thank you for your feedback- I will take it back to the team to see if something like this would work with the automated form. It does simplify it - and yes… I caught the change in my name. haha… i thought it was time to take that off since it referred to my first marriage. :slight_smile:

That looks much better and holds my attention. Just wondering why you include the prices for three other resorts and all the views. For a first timer, this may be overwhelming but putting in the table is MUCH better and more user friendly.

Sorry about that Annette…miss-guided humour.:zipper_mouth_face:

OH… I totally laughed at it so its all good.
During Covid I decided it was time for several changes… and dropping Owens was one of them haha

Again, please make sure your dates and number of nights/days align. This time, you kept the dates but grew the number of days/nights. I’m sorry that I’m so nit-picky.

I like the table of hotel pricing much better!
